WET AND DRY MOONS.
Old Superstition and Cold Facts From
the Astronomers.

There is an old superstition which
dies hard, and that is that the posi-
ton of the horns of the new moon
tells what the weather will be. If
the horns of the crescent are on the
same level it will hold water, and
hence it is dry moon, but if it is
tipped up then the water will run
out, and it is a wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this
belief alive. The moon is dry in
the part of the spring that is us
ually fair, while it is wet" during
the season of autumn rains.
If this were a sure sign of the
weather We could have our predic-
tons published many years in adj
vance, for an astronomer can predict
the exact position of the moon at any
time in the future.
The cause for the different posi-
lions of the crescent is simple. The
moon is south of the sun in the
autumn and north of it in spring.
The crescent is found by the light
of the sun falling on the moon, and
the horns are naturally in a line
perpendicular to the direction of the
sun from the moon. That is all
there is to this old superstition.

FIRE THAT STARTED so YEARS AGO IS CHECKED

Was Threatening Two Hundred Million Tons More.

may seep through on both sides and
act as reinforcement to the walls.
Difficulties OF a kind never before
encountered in engineering work by
/ the company in its effort to carry
through the plan. The fire was close
upon the workmen, and, as a meas
ure of protection a series of "slush-
/ ing holes had to be drilled near the
line of shafts. Notwithstanding this
precaution the smoke and fumes
came through to where the men we're
working, and the rocks on the side
of the shafts grew hot. This COM
plicated a task that was already hard
enough The utmost care was nee
essary in blasting.
Elaborate ventilating apparatus
had to be installed at great expense
Canvas fumes were led down into
the shafts. Being flexible they could
be shifted to as to supply fresh air,
without a delay, to the spot where it
was most needed. An emergency
hospital was put into operation, and
a physician was on hand to keep the
men in shape. Under these cOndi-
tions the work was prosecuted in
half-hour shifts, and each man en-
plOyed had to work only four hours
day. At one time the engineer in
charge, Mr. Starr, did not take his
clothes off for SO hours. During
most of these four days and nights
he was down in the shafts, taking
personal charge of the work.
Cracks appeared in the rock, and
sand had to be thrown into them,
while the work went on, to keep
back the heat and smoke.
After operations were under way
1t became evident that the timbers
in the shafts could not be removed
without risk to the side walls. It
was not safe to leave the timbers in
place, because they might serve to
aid the passage of the fire. Conse-
quently transverse concrete walls
were built, 80 inches thick at the
bottom and narrowing to Is inches at
the top. These walls, running across
the line Of shafts and parallel to the
course of the fire, had openings three
feet long by six feet wide placed at
intervals Of IL feet, so that the clay
could run from one compartment to
the other. Thus the pressure on the
walls was equalized.
Fifty thousand cubic yards of clay
were needed to make the barrier,
and 5000 cubic yards Of concrete.
Ten miles Of timbers were used in
the shafts and the open cut, all
brought from North Carolina. in
single one of the holes bored as
protection to the work $4,000 tons
OF salt were poured. it is estimated
that the cost of stopping the fire
this does not include the unsuccess-
full attempts of the past-was $780,
600.

SUNSHINE JAIL FOR CHICAGO.
Glass Roof Giving Light to All Cells,
Which May Kill Crime Germs.

Chicago is to have a new city jail
that will be a model for all iails,
according to plans now in the hands
of Assistant Chief of Police Herman
F. Schuettler.
Instead of being in the damp and
insanitary basement all the cells,
$50 in number, will be on the top
floor of the building Then instead
of the regulation dark roof Chief
Schuettler has provided for a heavy
glass roof, SO that every cell will be
bathed in sunlight, making the cells
cheerful and sanitary instead of
breeding places for diseases.
Sunshine kills crime germs" he
declares.
The roof of the building instead
of being a waste space is to be de-
voted to an exercise room for pris-
oners. The roof will be fiat, with
a sufficiently high wall to warrant
safety, and will be divided into de-
partments for those held on differ
ent charges.

100 BIRDS ATTACK a WOMAN
Deep Snow on the Ground Had
Caused Them to Suffer With
Intense Hunger.

VERONA, n. IA flock of Eng
fish sparrows numbering fully 100
made a concerted and determined
attack on the home of Robert H.
Wolverton here today. They took
possession of the kitchen and offered
such vicious resistance to the efforts
of Mrs. Wolverton to drive them out
that she was cut in a score of places
about the face and arms by the sharp
little beaks before she finally took to
flight. 1t was not until it occurred
to another member of the family that
the birds were hungry, and that their
invasion marked a deliberate cam
paign against the pantry that they
We're induced to leave the kitchen by
the brilliant strategy of scattering
bread Crumb in the back yard
The WOlvertons live in Sunset ave-
nue., and the birds had been hover
ling around the house in increasing
numbers all the forenoon, iabbering
together in most excited fashion.
They restrained themselves until near
the dinner hour, but when the odors
Of cooking were coming out to them
all agreed on an immediate assault.
| Swooping around to the rear of the
house they found the kitchen door
open and poured in Mrs. Wolver-
ton, armed with a broom, tried val
family to drive them away, but al
though she killed several she herself
presently was forced to flee to an
other part of the house, leaving the
| sparrOWS in possession of the kitch-
| en-. A council of war was held in
the front parlOr, and it was decided
to break up loaf Of bread and
sprinkle the crumbs just outside the
kitchen door. First by ones and
twos and then in a perfect swarm
the sparrows went out to the feast
and in a few minutes every one of
the invaders had left the kitchen and
was busy in the back yard.
The deep snow on the ground has
caused much suffering for lack of
food among the birds here, and Mrs.
| Wolverton is wondering now wheth-
er she will have to feed all the spar
rows in the neighborhood for the rest
of the winter.

COMFORT FOR NEAR-OLD MAID.
Woman at Her Best at Twenty Eight,
Says a Chicago Matr0n.

Is an unmarried woman an "Old
maid" at twenty-eight?
Decidedly not, according to Mrs.
Henry Jaffray of Chicago, who ad-
dressed the West Side Co-Educational
club, 1858 Washington boulevard,
the other day.
An unmarried woman Of twenty
eight is an important factor in So
cial and business life" she said, "and
she probably is better looking at that
age than at any other. At one period
Of our civilization she might have
been an old maid. But that time has
passed. She doesn't have to marry
now unless she wants to. She can
go into business, take up a profess
sion and do many other things, but
she is not an old maid"
A large audience of women APP
plauded the sentiment of the speaker.

TELL FARMERS RAISE CATTLE
State Agricultural Department Shows
What Can Be Done, and Says
Georgia Is in Right Place.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Agitation against
the meat trust and against the in
creased cost of living generally has
given the state agricultural depart
ment an opportunity to call atten
ton to the fact that it has persist
emily and continually urged the
farmers and producers of Georgia to
raise more cattle.
Georgia has every possible ad-
vantage as a cattle raising state,
says Commissioner T. G. Hudson,
who asserts that the producers of the
state are simply sleeping over their
opportunities. And yet, he points
out, the farmer who raises meat
enough even for his own use is the
exception rather than the rule in
Georgia
There is no telling how much
the state is losing as the result of
failure to give more attention to cat
tie raising" said Capt. r. F. Wright,
assistant commissioner of agricul-
ture. Georgia buys approximately
225 carloads of dressed and cured
western meats every week, at a cost
of $750,000. 1t is easy to figure out
what that would amount to within
a years time.
There is no question that a
speedy market could be found for
every pound of beef that could be
raised within the state, and found
right here at home. We now have
an up-to-date packing house in At
lanta ready to handle the Georgia
product, as well as smaller fnstftu-
tons of the kind in various parts of
the state.
In addition to this there is anoth-
er advantage, the fertilization of the
land which comes through raising
cattle. | know of one farm in this
state that cannot be bought for $500
an acre. Several years ago the same
land could have been had for s25.
But cattle-raising has enriched it to
such an extent that the annual gross
profits from it are in the neighbor
hood of $500.
There's money in it, and I cannot
understand why more of our people
have not taken hold of the cattle in
dustry."

TO RAISE COTTON IN GLYNN.
One Georgia County in Which There
Is No Agriculture.


While the newspapers in other
counties are generally urging the
cotton planters to hold down the
acreage devoted to that staple and to
increase the areas planted in corn
and other gains the Brunswick pa
pers are taking the other tack and
are urging, with the assistance of the
business men, that Glynn county
once more get into the field as a cot
ton growing county.
Evidently agriculture in Glynn
county is at a low ebb when it is
found necessary to urge that cotton
be planted, and as a special induce
ment offer free seed to the farmers
and prizes to those who make the
most cotton to the acre or get the
best results generally. Yet this is
what is underway down in the Bruins
wick county at this time. A COM
mittee of prominent business men is
hard at work seeking to interest the
owners of land in cotton planting
again in an endeavOr to build up the
county. 1t is stated in an appeal to
the people that prior to the war
Glynn and the adjacent islands were
noted for their crops of the highest
grade of sea island cotton That this
industry can be successfully revived
is regarded as certain, and a num-
Der of land owners have already eX-
pressed their determination to make
an experimental planting. A con-
vention of farmers is to be called and
experts brought in to explain the
methods of planting, etc. A firm has
agreed to establish gins for both
long and short staple cotton if the
people will agree to plant as much
as two hundred acres.
All this sounds somewhat strange.
1t is probable that everybody in
Georgia thought every south Georgia
county except Chatham was a cotton
growing county. Glynn seems to be
the one exception-or are there 9TH
ers. Anyway, it is a decided novelty
to find county in that section that
doesn't raise cotton and has to re-
sort to hard work to induce it's land
owners to go into it's culture.

King County Primary.

The statement of Senator Wilson
that straw ballots and preliminary
primaries not provided for by law
generally prove unsatisfactory to
every one directly concerned and
particularly so to the people them
selves, is true enough. Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Burke have each notified
their friends in every county in the
state that they will stand as cand1-
dates for the United States senate.
Those friends have taken their stand
on the matter, and have their right
to vote on the subject as well as do
the King County voters.
The legislative pledges are made
to vote not for any county's choice
but the entire state. Any scheme
that tends to substitute county-party
choice for state-party choice is sub
sersive of essential principles of the
direct primary.-Bremerton Amerl-
