Eohn Winds.

The Journal of the Meteorological
Society Of Japan contains an account
by DR.. Okada of the occurrence in Ko-
rea Of those remarkable winds which
have been called fohn winds. The
winds to which this name was origi-
nally given are warm winds blowing
down from the snOwclad mountains of
Switzerland and producing extensive
MEETINGS of the snow. They have
hence been called "snow eaters.' The
fohn is essentially a phenomenon of
mountainous regions. and Wonsan, in
Korea, where they have been observed,
is surrounded except or the east By
high mountains. In this region they
are always westerly and cause abnor-
mally high temperatures and dryness
Of the air. A similar wind in North
America blowing down from the
Rocky mountains has been called the
chinook. Fohn winds occur also In the
arctic regions. Blowing sometimes in
midwinter they produce a remarkable
climatic paradox. AS a result of the
elevation Of temperature caused by
them it may happen that northern

Men Who HELD Thieves.

The "rechristener' is the profession
n name Of the mar who alters the
names and numbers on stolen watches.
The rechristener is usually a clever
yer who through drink or other
wise has lost the chance of obtaining
honest employment and aids the re-
ceiver Of stolen property. When a
watch has been stolen the number or
name or other indication Of make or
ownership may be forwarded to the
police and by them communicated to
pawnbrokers. There Is consequently
an element Of risk in attempting to
dispose of it. There are various ways
Of getting over the difficulty, and re-
christening is one that IS frequently
resorted to. The engraver adds or pre-
fixes another figure to the number or

and central on the watch case. This IS

The insurgent papers OF the
state a few months ago in their
desire to injure Senator KIT
redge and prejudice the people
OF the state against him, charged
the Senator with being friendly
with the land.grabbing interests
because he refused to endorse
w. c. Bristol as a United States
attorney in Oregon. The insur-
gent papers have recently
dropped the Bristol matter, the
fact being that Senator Kilt,
redge had proof that Bristol
was a CRATER, as the fol-
lowing letter will show very
clearly:

The Grimmest Epitaph.

What is the most terrible epitaph In
existence? One of the grimmest is
surely that on a stone which was set
up a few years ago in the cemetery Of
DeErescin. eastern Hungary.
1t reads as follows: Here rests in the
Lord Joseph Moritz. ST., who died in
his s~ixty-second year. He was shot by
his SOL Frau Joseph Moritz, who died
in her forty-seventh year. She was
shot by her daughter. Elizabeth Mo-
ritz. who died by her W hand in her
seventeenth year after shooting her
mother. Joseph Moritz. who died In
prison. age twenty-seven. He had shot
his father. May eternal mercy have
pity on their poor. sinful souls".

said, the last of the i'll starred family

THAT the attempt of Chairman
Nixon and Auditor McWaters to
seperate and make an illegal
division in the Albee. Adams
matter was a total failure, was
not the fault of those who at
tempted the scheme. The in
stigators of the attempt, Messrs.
Smull and Xix woulc have &C.
complished it if the republican
voters of the precinct had not
taken the matter into court. Is
it nota pitiable thing that the
voters of q precinct are obliged
to appeal to the courts to secure
their plain rights and privileges
in the simplest matters? This is

Der night under an immense sky full Of

blow into white flame, quite light-hearted
and content, forgetting for the moment
how lonesome she was, and the way in

but of her poverty.
She had just put away her cup and

was no one in the village who would buy
ten turkeys at once. And he had spent
the money at the tavern over by Starveley

Now the question was, should she let
