The MatsOn liner llilonan did not

he was in Frisco, though 1t was gen
\ orally understood around here that
she would. This was because of the

same line. The system that has been
in use on the latter boat was not able
TO signal over ZOE miles over the sea

Repairs on South Canal.

The Skowhegan Waterpower Com
pany, the association of firms and in
dividuals who own waterpower con-
nected with the dams on the north
and south channels of the Kennebec
river at this point, are now making
plans for extensive repairs on the
South Canal, so called and on the
bulkhead at the "Old Paper Mill"
The South Canal extends from
the bulkhead near the South Chan
mel bridge to the Old Paper
Mill above mentioned, and on it
are located the wheels furnishing
power to the American Wooden Com
pany, Adams & Burns, the Show
hogan Casket Co., j. H. Dane, Somer-
set Traction Co., G. A. Williams &
Co, Nolin Manufacturing Company
and the Riverside Pulp Co. 1t is now
proposed to shut the water out of the
canal, by closing the gates at the
bulkhead, on September 18th and all
the above named firms will be de-
prived OF waterpower, for 1.-THE most
part, during the following ten days
The American Wooden Company at
the Anderson Mills are equipped to
run by steam so that their plant can
be kept in operation to such extent
as they desire. Other users will
largely suspend operations until the
repairs are completed. The Somer-
set Traction Company, however, ex-
pect to be able to construct a tempo
rary canal through which they can
get enough water to operate their
traction line to Madison with little in
terruption.
While the water is shut out of the
canal, the several power owners will
take the opportunity to repair their
wheels and fumes. Among the
structures that it is expected will
thus receive attention are the hume
and wheel owned by the Marston
Construction Company, formerly the
NJ. j. Allen power, also the wheels
and fumes of the Riverside Pulp
Company, the Nolin Manufacturing
Company and those owned by c. A.
Williams & Company and L. Anderson
& Company, the latter furnishing
power for the J. H. Dane Mill. The
main canal itself will be strengthened
where necessary and rocks and other
debris removed. The work will be in
charge OF F. A. Nolin, the treasurer
of the Skowhegan Waterpower Co.
who expects to employ carpenters,
dam builders and laborers, making in
all crew of about twenty men.

A LUNCH TINE DICKER.
The Accordion Man Trades an Instrument
for PretZels.

The Accordion Man Trades an Instrument
for Pretzels.
Lunch time for the man who sells the
little accordionsR ten cents apiece. The
clock in the steeple OF the church in front
Of which he stands tells him that. and il
there had been no clock to look ct his own
senses would have told him. for he is hungry
But he cant go to lunch, for the street is
crowded with people, going to and from
their midday meal, and II is one Of bis
best hours for business and he must wait
must make hay while the sun shines,
And so he does wait, playing meanwhile
on one OF the tiny accordions and holding it
up in sight Of the myriad passersby as he
plays. and saying all the time; Ten cents,
Ten cents"
Coming along the sidewalk toward the
man selling the toy accordions. a pretzel
man, with a basket Of pretzes, and with a
column Of pretzels rising in view from one
corner on a stick, to call attention to his
wares. The pret7el man is moving leisurely
and saying as he walks: Gent spiece,
Cent apiece
He is out 10 catch the rush Of the noon
day trade too, when people are hungry.
In due time he comes along abreast OF
the accordion man, standing at the inner
edge Of the walk, and there he halts with
his eye fixed on the little accordion as the
accordion man plays upon it, He wants
TO buy an accordion, bappears, and the
accordion man wants TO buy pretzels,
but neither understands the language Of
the other, or il they do they seem not TO,
for when the ptetze man pointed at the
accordion and the accordion man said ten
cents, and the pretzel man seemed still
not 20 understand, the accordion man held
up his two hands with fingers and thumbs
al extended, and that was clear-ten.
And then the pretzel man looked at what
he had in his basket and then over inquir-
ingly at the accordion man and held up
his hands with his fingers e1tended-ten.
And il was lunch time, and the accord on
man was ready TO trade, and so he handed
over an accordion 10 the pretzel man and
took from him in return ten pretzels. which
he slowed away in his pockets, all but one,
and holding that in one hand and holding
up an accordion in the other he kept on
saying between bites, Ten cents. Ten
cents"
And the pretzel man? lie stood right
where he was for long enough 10 shift the
pretZels from one end Of his basket 80
that he could stow the little accordion away
down in the bottom at one corner, and then
he covered il over with pretzels: and then
he moved oil, saying leisurey, in 4 mono
tone; Gent apiece. Cent apiece

Many other problems of aerial phys ics. such as solar radiation, terrestrial magnetism, the ionization, the electri- fication. and the physical properties of the air are engaging the attention of the weather bureau officials. so that sky polarization. intensity of light and cloud density may be measured. The exploration oflthe upper air is but one of the many. elucidations of which must materially add to the value of the government weather service. The pres ent may be said to mark an important epoch in the development of meteoro- logical service in this country. At the Mount Weather, Va, research obser- vatory, on Oct. 3, 1907. the worlds rec ord sor tke securing of observations high in the air was broken. On that day. by means of aerOplanes. the meteorological apparatus at Mount Weather reached an altitude of 23.111 feet above sea level. Meteorographs and other necessary apparatus are now being made with a view of exploring the various quadrants of the typical storms in the western region.

Verde river watersheds. It is proposed to locate a river gauge station on the upper Gila river at an early date.
 The issue Of a dail,- weather map at Phoenix. the only one of its kind in the southwest. excepting Fort Worth, Los Angeles and san Diego. marks an era Of rapid advancement for Arizona. Two hundred and sixty-five weather charts are mailed from the Phoenix office every day. A daily forecast mail card system was likewise inaugurated throughout Arizona during the year under the supervision of the section director at Phoenix
 Perhaps one of the most important objects undertaken by the chief of the bureau was the equipment of the Flagstaff and Yuma weather bureau offices with newly improved and up- to-date self-registering instruments, thus placing them on an equal plane with the electric instrumental outfit such as used at the Phoenix office for many years past The electric sun- shine recorders, the electric rain gauges and the electric wind-direction recorders. now in good working order
 
 ford ample opportunities for the study Of these valuable records.
 While several studies have. been made in the United States and Europe regarding the laws of evaporation over large bodies of water the results have not been sufficiently in agreement to be satisfactory for the deduction of proper system of laws designed for practical uses by engineers and mete- orologists. The recent formation of q large lake of fresh water in the Salton sea, southern California. caused by the overflowing of the Colorado river. af- lords an unequalled opportunity to take up the study of evaporation phe- nOmena on a large scale under remark ably favorable conditions.
 The SaltOn sea is now A miles long. contains 40 square miles surface. which is POS feet below the sea level, the bottom of the lake being 2s7 feet ocean. and it will evaporate at the rate of about feet per year.
 MT. C. K Gilbert of the United States geological survey. proposed that this unique opportunity be em- braced. especially in view of the facts that the Salton sea lies in a 'dry. cli- mate, where evaporation is vigorous, where there is little rainfall. and only a small inflow of water from the New and the Alamo rivers. which can be readily measured. so that the evapora- tion conditions are comparatively free from complications. In order to study the possibilities Of the case a board. consisting of Prof. F. II. Bigelow, United States weather bureau; MT. G. K. Gilbert, United States geological survey, and MT. C. E. Grunsky, United States reclamation service, proceeded to Yuma, Ariz., and in May, 1907. in spected the entire region carefully. making a favorable report on the un- dertaking. Some valuable. preliminary

experiments were made during the past summer, and this year it is proposed to install chain Of stations around the Salton sea on a comparatively sim pie plan for the first years work, and then proceed to more elaborate cam paign during the second and following years. as experience suggests shall be appropriate.
 The conditions afforded by the Sal ton sea are particularly suitable for the investigation of the laws of evap- oration. The amount of water flowing into il IS small and can readily be measured. The rainfall is nominal in amount. No water flows out of it. The climate ;s so dry that the total evaporation in the year will probably amount to or feet. and in ten or fifteen years the sea will have disap- peared. It is, therefore, possible to de- termine by gauging the actual rate of evaporation, and to make this deter imitation with high precision. By making the sauglng continuous. and by making simultaneous observations of the temperature. atmospheric hu- midity. wind. etc, the relations of evaporation to these several factors can be made out. It is possible. also. by suitable arrangement of details, and by the use of evaporation tanks. to take account of the relation of evap- oration to the size of the evaporating surface. By the reason of the dryness of the local climate, the evaporation rate in the Salton basin is unusually high. Therefore. a formula based on observations at this place will have such range as to be available for all cases likely to arise.
