MARK ANT0NY'S TRICK.
II Worked Like a Charm Till Cleo

~ OtNCG linz q (UdTfU W. 1tco~
patra Learned the Secret
According to Plutarch. Cleopatra
was votary of the piscatorial art, and
so keen did the rivalry become be-
tween her and Antony that he resort
ed 10 the meanest articles to insure
victory Mortified and irritated by
the queens superiority. he engaged
divers to take live fish and place them
on his hook. This was done so ex-
pertly that he pulled up fish after fish
in rapid succession. Learning in some
way the secret OF his sudden success,
Cleopatra pretended to congratulate
him aud to admire his dexterity, and
ut the same time she devised a cum
ming means of revenge.
Another match was arranged, and
the fishing began in the presence OF q
large company of friends. Antony
soon had bite and pulled up large
sailed fish to his great disgust and
amid the loud laughter of all present.
The secret was out; Antony's trick
was exposed. and once more woman's
wit had proved too much for mans
ingenuity. diver. specially instruct
ed by the queen. had got the start of
Antony's and attached the salt fish to
his hook.-Mathews in Angling"

The YeIIoustons Wonders.

Or. Arnold Hague shows that there
is a strong contrast between the geo.
logical conditions connected with the
geysers of Iceland and those of the
Yellowstone park. Volcanic eruptions
may be said geologically TO be still
going on in Iceland, while I'm the Vel
lowstone such action ceased many
thousands of years ago The Yellow
stone phenomena as seen today repre-
sent a phase in the evolution of Their
NAL springs. The tendency of a gey-
ser is to develop a hot surface pool,
after which explosive action may cease
and the geyser, as such. become ex-
tinct. but this is a very slow process.
DR.. Hague rejects the idea that the
cessation of activity in a geyser indi-
Gates the dissipation of the original
source of heat and ascribes it simply
TO n shifting of the channel of the as
cending waters.

MORE RAIN PROMISED.
Official Forecaster Says Back Zone OF
DrOuth Is Broken-Rain VIII
Benefit Reservoirs.

That the backbone of the drouth is
broken in the Middle Atlantic and
Southern States by heavy rainfall
during the last twenty-four hours, is
shown by reports of the Weather Bu-
reau.
The downpour was general from
Pennsylvania to Florida and extended
eastward into the mountains of the
Virginias. Baltimore was the north
ern centre of precipitation, which had
its southern base at Wilmington, n.
c.
During the twenty-four hours ended
at o'clock last night the rainfall re-
ported for this region included the fol-
lowing records: Annapolis, 1877
inches, Baltimore, $40 inches; Har-
risburg, $40; Mount Weather Sta
tion, Va, overlooking the Shenandoah
Valley, 40; Elkins, w. Va, $50;
Norfolk, 1.736; Charlotte, 1.22; Will
mington, 1872; Jacksonville, $50;
Tampa, LOS.
These rains will send much water
into Maryland reservoirs" said the
forecaster, land are particularly val
liable for North Carolina and Virginia.
They are the heaviest in months.
Stream flow will be greatly increased.
From Pennsylvania to Florida the pre-
cipitation has been general, not local
and heavy. You will get more tomor-

PERIL OF SUBMARINES.
Two Narrowly Escape Being Run
Down By Yankton In War Tactics.

Near Provincetown, Mass, Wednes-
day night two submarines narrow Is
escaped being run down by the CUR
boat Yankton during sham war tactics
by the Atlantic fleet off the Cape Coo
coast. When the Yankton. which is
serving as a dispatch boat, arrived in
port yesterday, she reported the in
cident.
A thick fog caused the war game
10 be called off and the ships were
ordered 10 make for port. The Yank-
ton was proceeding slowly when the
fog lifted for a moment and disclosed
a submarine running on the surface
just across her bows.
AS the Yankton swung off to avoid
the craft. il headed directly upon an
other submarine creeping out of the
fog bank. A crash seemed inevitable.
but the ships sharp PROV was swung
around just as the submarine slipped
by, scarcely twenty feet distant. The
names of the submarines are unknown
TO the men on the Yankton.
Despite the shortening of the work
Wednesday night there was time
enough TO give a test of the battleship
fleet against torpedo boats and sub
bmarines. The Yankton. which was
doing picket duty for the battleships,
claims to have uncovered at least sew

pedo boat men say, stepped in close
enough to sink, theoretically, one of
the big "dreadnaughts.

SETBACK FOR BOULEVARD.

The grading on the boulevard turn
pike, which had been completed down
to the bridge over Marley creek, was
washed so badly that the work will
have to be done over again.

was impossible yesterday afternoon.

Save Feeble-Minded
Children From Fire

WINFIELD, Kans.. July S.-One
thousand wards of the State, inmates
Of the State Hospital for the feebl-
minded, were saved IN a fire which
early today destroyed the main build
ings Of the institution, two miles from
Winfield.
The inmates 400 OF whom were chill
dren, are herded together under the
eyes Of their guards, IN the buildings
not Destroyed. State troops have been
asked to rush tents. Spiral chutes, in
stead of fire escapes, were used sue
cessfully in sending the feeble minded
children to the ground. There was no
panic, although the wild screams at
times threatened to cause one.
The main building, used as a domi-
tory, was totally destroyed. The fire
was caused by defective insulation OF

READING ROOM FOR
THE BLIND IS SOON
TOBE IN OLD HOME
Assured They Will
Get Former Quarters in
Library of Congress.

The reading room for the blind prob
ably will be moved back from the Pub
lie Library of the District to the Lii
brary OF Congress. That was deter
mined after a brief conference between
several interested Senators and Herbert
Putnam, the librarian of Congress.
Those who were present at the con-
ference were Senators Wetmore, Per-
kins. Curtis, Gore, and Martin. and Mr..
Putnam. Mr.. Putnam was shown let
ters from blind persons. setting forth
the reasons why they preferred to have
their reading room back in the Con-
gressional Library
First of all an effort will be made
to overcome the objections to the
system for the delivery of books bor-
rowed by the blind. Since the
books for the blind were moved from
the Congressional to the Public Lii
brary It has been necessary for the
afflicted persons to go or send for
their reading material Before that
time the Congressional wagon de-
livered the books. Arrangements
have been made for a resumption of
the old delivery service.
Should these arrangements not
prove satisfactory. the collection IT.
self will be returned to the Library
of Congress and administered there"
says a statement Issued this morning
by Librarian Putnam. 1t is pointed
out, however, that the Ioom in the
Congressional Library would not per-
nit the attendance of many seeing
people at the blind entertainments.
At the Public Library this has been
possible and hundreds have attended.
The blind regard the old reading room
at the Library of Congress as more like
home because their reading room was
organized there. 1t gives them a live
ller sentiment Of participation in the
national life and government, and fur
nishes to the people. OF the United
can be done for the sightless.
Mr.. Putnam, in ordering the removal
OF the reading room TO the Public Ii
brary, felt he was doing a kindness TO
the blind; When he was told how they
felt about the matter. he readily agreed
that 1t would perhaps be best to have
the reading room re-established in the
Library on the Hill, where reference
and many other works have been kept.
transfer probably is to be an incident
of the near future. II is possible that
an item may be added this session TO
the deficiency bill that will provide for
the transfer of the books from the ap-
act having reference to
the library.
During the past several weeks many
of the blind in the District have talked
to the Senators. All the blind asked
was that they be permitted once more
to read in their old quarters, which
was one of the brightest parts of the
Library of Congress.
Miss Eta Josselyn Giffin. who organ
lied the reading room for the blind. is
in charge of the room and library now.
In case the books are transferred, she
will return to the Library of Congress.

MONEY HANDLERS
IN TREASURY SOON
TO HAVE NEW RULES
They Must Use But One En-.
trance, and Keep Wraps
in Steel Lockers.

All clerks of the Treasury Depart
ment employed in the money handling
and counting divisions. will have to
enter and leave the building by the
new Fifteenth street entrance, COM
mencing August l. In addition they
will be compelled to leave their wraps
and any portion of their street clothes
discarded during working hours, in
steel lockers provided for the purpose
at either side Of the entrance.
This new arrangement was ordered by
Secretary MacVeagh, who wishes these
divisions to conform to the usages in
all big money handling institutions, as
a precautionary measure.
The new Fifteenth street entrance to
the building will be put in use on the
first day Of the month. All employees
will have to enter and leave by the en-
trance. but the clerks handling Uncle
Sans money will be confined to the
two sides where the locker rooms are 10
Gated. No other clerks will be permit
ted 10 use these two doors on the ex-
treme outside.
The architectural changes in the build
ing to provide for the new arrangement
were ordered by Secretary MacVeagh
several months ago. The work will be
completed in few days. Several OF
the regular watch force will be station
ed at the entrance doors, and all clerks
will have to check in their time with
the watchmen upon entering and leav-
ing the building.
Approximately COO men and women
clerks will use the locker rooms. They
are employed in the national bank re-
demption agency, the redemption divi-
sion of the Treasury, the loans and cur
rency division, the office of the register
of the Treasury, and the office Of the
comptroller OF the currency.
Heretofore clerks have entered the
building by the door that was most
handy.
Great iron grills have been provided
for the first floor windows and the win
dows and doors Of the money-handling
