The variation of speed in the chirp- ing of crickets depends so closely on temperature that the height of the thermometer may be calculated by obs serving the number of chirps in min ute.

Below temperature of 60 degrees F. the crick- ct Is not likely to make any sound.

ing claim of the Countess Of Buena

Cial order issued by Gen. Brooke while
serving as military governor. by which
her exclusive right as the daughter of
the hereditary high sheriff of Havana

one of the perqustes of the office of

line, died, the office was abolished but
his daughter continued 60 hold the fran
chise until it was annulled by Mai. Gen.

against the United States for damages
under the Paris treaty. Without express
ing directly an opinion as to the respon-
sibility of the United States government.

on the ground that the countess had Suf-
fercd no loss of property. The order was
