The great cost is. and always will be,
the deportation OF Chinese. None OF
the officials here know the exact
amount that the Government pays to its
special agents for taking Chinese back
10 their home. Inspector Pierce
said that in his opinion the cost
in each case is about 500. Each
Chinaman also costs SO in fees TO the
commissioner for aFraignment and
hearing, and the iail bill runs up 20
$50 on an average before the man is de

would be a conservative estimate OF the
cost Of deportation of Chinese during

Indian summer. which closes the au-
tUmnal season. is due to certain natural
causes The warm, hazy days OF this
romantic season are always ushered In
during the falling Of the leaves, and are
associated with the death Of vegetation,
whitening leaves, and drying stubble. In
setting out TO account for the phenome-
non of nature which we call Indian sum-
mer, il is necessary 10 account for the
absence from the atmosphere during this
season Of that degree Of moisture neces-
sary TO produce rainfall, and also the
strange atmospheric calm which pre-
walls during the smoky. dreamy days OF
autumn.
The pacific atmosphere during Indian
summer IS due TO an interesting phe-
nomenou which relates TO the suns
passing the equatorial line. After the
sun crosses the equator 70 the North
on March 81, set OF conditions Is set
up which result IN what are known as
trade winds These winds are due, firsUs
To the rising 81 the heated air on the hot
belt which describes thessun's apparent
circuit around the globe When the
sun has passed Horth Of the equator.
the hot belt causes an atmosphere vacu-
um into which a stream Of cool aiF nat
urslly flows This inflow must come
from the nearest body OF cold atmos-
phere. Since the suns highway around
the globe, at this time, lies nearer the
North Pole than 1t does TO the South
Pole, it follows that this body of cool
atmosphere must come from the north.
on this account the trade winds of our
springtime blow always and invariably
from the northeast.
The reason these winds appear to flow
toward the equator from the northeast
and not from the North, is that IN the
globes revolutions given point on the
esrth's surface at the equator passes
through the atmosphere from west to
east at the speed Of !, 900 miles ar hour.
and as a result the impression is made
that the atmosphere IS rushing from
northeast 20 southwest When the sun
first crosses the equator the trade winds
blow AT an acute angle 20 the equator.

acoss the State from north to south
This strip covers an erea OF twelve
square miles. The count showed 7,74O

Illinois was calculated at 80, 10000. OF

gathered on Sunday morning and sur
rounded the courthouse. At 9 O'Clock
they called upon the negroes TO sur

howls Of derision and an occasional

For some reason the whites did not

forenoon wac spent in fruitless par
Ieying. But as u o'clock came the
cry was raised in the courthouse that
the building was on fire. The whites
had selected the torch as the easiest
means of forcing their enemy's hand.
The negroes in the face Of an emer-
gency lost their nerve. The sight Of
ire had taken all the tight out Of
them, and they raised a white flag.
Under a like emblem the beslegers
sent a man TO confer with them, and
the negroes were told that II they
would lay down their arms they would
