FOSTERS FORECASTS
tcopyrishtsd BY W. W. Foster. 1909,

parts OF the continent and I will al
ways be satisfied with all forecasts
that are as good. First part of Febru-
airy forecasts were not SO good. The
storm a W were on time. but / had
predicted a cool wave where and when
the eve cold wave came in. The
predicted freezing and thawing for
February occurred as foretold and win
ter grain will show the bad effects dur
ing April and May.
In December and first Of January
holders of cotton were advised not to
sell and those who held made SIS a
bale by doing 80. Cotton had gone
down $40 a bale during the past year
and a panic In prices was impending.
II believe the advice given out through
these bulletins and privately turned
the tide. That great depression in
prices of cotton was serious and
threatened a general panic. The cot
ton mills of Europe and America had
manufactured cotton fabrics from high
priced cotton and when the raw ma
terial fell to half price the mills could
not sell without a great loss. That
fact had much to do with the great
strikes in the cotton mills and the
financial world was on the eve OF a
great panic.
Looking ahead. at the cotton crop
weather OF 1912 / could see that
prices must go up and | gave such
advice to many cotton mills that were
in distress. The prices Immediately
stopped the decline and the clouds OF
financial distress so began to clear
away. Somebody manipulated the
cotton markets ana came near caus-
Ing a great financial panic. III the
hogs would keep their feet out OF
the trough there would be an abund-
ance for all"
Readers OF these bulletins should not
forget that late in November holders
OF grain were advised not TO sell. Grain

millions Of dollars more than it was
bringing two months ago. The above
statement indicates how vastly valu-
able long range weather forecasts may

Next bulletin will give general fore
casts OF crop weather Of March, six
months OF the crop growing season are
now immediately before us and / pro-
pose that these weather bulletins shall
be much more valuable during that six

SEAS PERILs EVER PRESENT
ManeuVers and Sham Battles Cannot
Be Held Without the Element
Of Danger.

It is the great distinction Of the sea
that its peace maneuvers are never
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade Of the naval service a seaman
may belong, when he is on active
service he is always face to face with
''the real thing" A mistake OF any
sort, a pardonable miscalculation,
mOmentary failure of nerve or atten-
ton. or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit OF
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in mann-
ness, resourcefulness and self-cOntrOl
The submarine branch of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers OF
its own, as the sad tale Of previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs it is Of
a nature to make a profound impress
sion upon the public. But in relation
to the number of submarines in com
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
men who serve in them do not incur a
risk out Of all proportion greater than
their comrades in other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative of the submarine. Daily
faced in the routine of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda-
ton Of naval character, and are a
pledge, in no small degree, of the Sc
curity upon which as a nation we re
pose.

WEDNESDAY. MAY 5 1912
HELPED OUT GREAT NOVELIST
Schoolgirl Friend Of His Daughter Sup
piled Names for Thackeray's
Great Story.

A delightful Thackeray anecdote
(which, so far as one remembers. is
new has turned up at the dinner of
the Colquhoun club. The guests in
cluded Philip Newman, who recount
ed that his wife when a girl happened
to go to the same school as the nov
elist's daughters and afterwards kept
up an intimacy with the family.
One day, when she was out for a
walk with Miss Thackeray, the latter
mentioned that her father had started
a new story but was at a loss to de-
eide upon the hero's name. The fu-
ture Mrs. Newman, with her fiance
IN her thoughts, suggested that his
name, "Philip." might serve the pur-
pose.
At that moment who should come
up unobseryed behind the two girls
but Thackeray himself. Making his
presence known by laying a hand on
a shoulder of each of the young peo-
pie, he asked why they were so deep
in conversation. Thereupon Miss
Thackeray, turning around, revealed
the subject under discussion and told
him her friends suggestion as to the
heros name.
Admirable" was Thackeray's YER
dict. "And now, my dear" he went
on. what is your own name?" "Char-
lotte." well, that's a very nice name
too," was the response, and Thack-
cray wore look of satisfaction
The result was the tale called 'The
Adventures of Philip" in which the
principal woman character figures as
"Charlotte."-Pall Mall Gazette.

coethe's Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from BODIES
book on Goethe, appears in Paris
contemporary. In August, 1918. Goe-
the went to Carlsbad for the cure, and
placed himself under the care Of DR..
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
he requested Charles, his domestic, to
place a bottle Of red wine and a glass
in each OF the two windows in the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink a glass OF wine.
When he had nearly emptied the bot
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah," said
Goethe, you are come. Do you know
it is my birthday" NO" said the
doctor, 1T is not your birthday. 1t
falls tomorrow"
Only the production OF the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning. When he
discovered mis- mistake he gave vent
to a strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth of Capt. Manly
Ewart, and. after a long pause, turn
ing to the doctor. said: Then I have
got drunk for nothing"

Valuable Find Of Manuscript.

A very interesting and remarkable
discovery of illuminated manuscripts
and early printed books, ranging as
far back as 1880, has Just been made
in the library at Oxton Hall, says the
Nottingham (Eng) Guardian.
1t came about in this way: The
vicar of the parish, Rev. w. Laycock,
obtained permission to go through the
books in the library at his leisure.
While so doing his curiosity was
aroused by a locked and forgotten
cupboard therein, which he proceeded
to investigate. It's contents proved to
be between forty and fifty volumes,
which confirmed the impression con-
veyed by the antiquity Of their APP
pearance that they belonged to the
very earliest stage Of the art Of print
ing, which was introduced into this
country in 1S47.
The majority of them are folio vol
umes, and with one exception they are
all in their original bindings. The
covers are carefully planned boards OF
solid oak, and the books are bound
with stout leather laces, the backing
and lining being fragments of illum-
mated manuscripts of a much earlier
date, cut up as waste with ruthless
indifference.

BRAVE EFFORT AT ENGLISH

For the genuine English as she is

Gated Orientals, who can spell and

DANGEROUS COLOR is BLUE
Men Who Voyage Above the Earth
Prefer Red for the Covering of
Their Balloons.

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
a balloon, don't buy blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is scientific
reason why. According to the re-
searches of NJ. Reynaud, caoutchouc is
strongly attracted by the ultraviolet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with quartz tube, which is a power
full source of such rays. This fact
has a practical bearing in connection
with balloon envelopes which are
treated with caoutchouc.
Aeronauts are familiar with the dis
covery that the envelopes suffer dur
ing ascensions, and this is explained
by the greater effect of ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes. Experiment
had already led to using yellow color
ing matter on the envelopes, and red
balloons are sometimes seen, but
never blue or violet. NJ. Reynaud con-
siders that red is the best color to
use, as it not only absorbs the ultra
violet rays, but also the blue rays, and
these last are likely to share in the
bad action Of the suns rays upon bal
looms.

An amusing story concerning the
Greek naval lottery appears in a Paris
journal. 1t seems that the tickets

milk shop and. seeing an ass standing
