WARNER OF CYCLONES
Valuable Attachment TO Baro.
graph Invented by lesuits.
MAY BE MEANS OF SAVING LIFE

Simple Device of Fathers zwack and
Coronas In Manila Has Been Worked
Into Shape by Filipino Mechanic.
Believed 1t Will Stand Amy Test.
To the Jesuit fathers ut Manila be-
longs the honor of inventing an ex-
tremely useful attachment to the Fuess
barograph. This barograph is an in
strument whose use Is giving warning
of the approach of cyclonic disturb
ances.
1t consists of barometer suspended
from the short arm of balance, along
which a clock moves a pencil which
traces the atmospheric pressure upon
a card. Hitherto it has been necessary
to watch the barograph closely in order
to know the true readings.
With the attachment invented in the
observatory of Manila one may set the
barograph to what one considers the
safe limit Of atmospheric pressure and
retire, sure that when that limit is
reached an electric bell will ring to
rouse him from slumber to watch for
the approaching cyclonic changes.
The device, like most other useful
scientific inventions, is very simple and
consists of a small brass square slid
ing on rod, says a special cable dis
patch from Manila to the Chicago In
ter Ocean. When the predetermined
limit of atmospheric pressure is reach
ed a delicate spring is pressed. This
spring is connected by means of wires
with an electric bell at any desired dis
tance from the instrument, and the
work is done.
The attachment is the work Of Fa-
theirs Zwacll and Coronas and a Filipi-
no mechanic who is with the Jesuits.
The fathers suggested an apparatus
much more complicated than the one
now in use. but the mechanic, Ramon
Trinidad, simplified it to the present
form. The fathers are much pleased
that such an invention has at length
been perfected.
No matter now, they say, how sud
den the fall of the barometer or how
quickly the cyclone approaches, warn
ing must be given by the electric bell
before the storm can burst Had such
an apparatus been in use upon the
barograph at Hongkong during the ter
rible typhoon there in which so much
damage was done warning could and
would have been sent out before the
storm burst, and the damage would
have been materially lessened.
The device cannot tell one that n
storm is approaching, but it can tell
that the barometer is so low that a
storm is likely to be somewhere in the
vicinity. The fathers are taking steps
to call the attention of the world to
their invention in the hope of saving
many lives and much property. They
say 1t has been thoroughly tested in
the observatory at Manila and will
stand any test to which it may be sub,
jected.

"NAKING" OF A NOTED HOTEL
Why the Old Fifth Avenue In New
York, Refused to Be Closed

Why the Old Fifth Avenue, In New
York, Refused to Be Closed.
The waking" of the Fifth Avenue
hotel, in New York, lasted all day the
other day. The hotel was officially
closed on n Saturday at midnight by
Louis Selbold, president of the "amen
corner" 1t was not until / O'clock the
next morning that even the "ameners'
would leave the building. Then they
marched out singing "Auld Lang
Syne."
Even after the organization which
officiated at the obsequies had deserted
the building and it should have been
locked up until the wreckers came to
tear it apart no one could be found
who would seal the DOORS The key
was probaly lost many years ago. The
only time that the doors of the hotoI
were locked after it was opened was
during the draft riots in 1861.
"The hotel refuses to be closed" said
Managers Darling and Villas and the
most that they would do toward that
end was to bring out q couple of the
the office and with them bar the doors.
But these slight barriers furnished no
obstacles to the crowds OF curious
who gathered about the historic old
hotel and wished to take another look
at the interior
The lobby was thronged all day long
with sightseers. Many persons who
had at times been guests of the hotel
came to take a last look about the
structure.
The scenes attending the closing of
the hotel will live long in the memory
of those present. When the men who
have been accustomed to make almost
daily visits there for many years final
ly realized that the end had come the
question uppermost in their minds was
where to go.
The question was asked over and
over again, and there seemed to be no
answer. When early in the morning
the large throng filed out, still singing
"Apld Lang Syne," many felt as though
they had been turned away from theiI
real homes.
AS the crowd sang some of the lights
were dlmmed TO mark that the hotels
career was ending.

FEATHERS AND EaasHELLs.

My friend it certainly is not our
funeral TO mind your business, but we
do object to buying dressed chickens
stuffed with feed.
When a man goes into the squab
business and finds he really can't make
1t pay, he's a fool to hang on and hang
himself because he lives in l-Told-U-So.
Which variety is best for you to
keep? The one you like best, of course.
You will exercise more care for chick
ems YOU fancy, and also make more
money accordingly.

Canada and the United States are
shipping much fine poultry from New
York to Cape Colony, South Africa.
African ostriches are being imported
to California and Arizona. Thus "a
fair exchange is no robbery"
by marking the eggs and setting the
hen in nest with a glass bottom we
discover that she turns the eggs six
times a day. Instead of turning in
cubatOr eggs twice we now turn them
six times a dag and get - per cent
more chicks.

A general movement is on foot to get

companies to date eggs. as is now done
with canned goods. 1t viii puzzle the
Legislators to frame a bill to fit. The
date of laying cannot be marked ON the
eggs, for some storage stock seems to
have been laid before the Christian

to date his case, the storage company
may quickly erase. While the puzzle

ENGLAND's NATIONAL BIRD.
The English Dorking originated IN
Rome. Whether of the holy chickens
of the Imperial City and kept with the
sacred bull in the sacred groves with
the other gods and goddesses we know
not. This valiant bird inherits the
fighting spirit of Caesars soldiers. His
spurs are sharp as spears, and his
broad, proud breast, like a Roman
shield, is always turned to the foe.
Why the golden eagle was borne aloft
before the Roman legions instead of
the Dorking we do not understand, for
wherever those soldiers marched there
went the Dorking. The Romans must
have considered this fowl indispen-
