Rain Gauges.

The simplest form of a rain
gauge consists of a funnel with IA
definite area, say, of twelve inches,
which fits in the mouth of a bottle.
The rain that falls into the funnel
runs down into the bottle. and the
quantity is measured by means of a
graduated glass, Suppose. for ex-
ample, that in twenty-four hours
the quantity collected measured two
and three-tenths fluid ounces. This
is equal to four cubic inches, and if
the area of the funnel be twelve
inches it follows that there has
been a rainfall of one-third of an
inch

Earthuuake MYTHS.

Although earthquakes frequently
occur side by side, it is believed that
relationship between them is com
paratively rare. In general earth
quakes are more frequent in winter
than in summer, and for certain re-
gions subject to seismic disturbance
there seems to be a sort of semi
annual period of activity for which
as yet no satisfactory explanation
has been given. Myths attributing
earthquakes to underground mon.
sters or ~personageS + frequent.
Thus beneath Japan there is said
to be a catfish. which is replaced
elsewhere by a mole. a hog, an ele-
plant or some other creature. which
now and again becomes restless and
shakes the globe. These mythical
animals must indeed be of ii rest
less habit. for science declares that
some portion of the planet is shak,
en- on the average every half hour.

JUpITER's RED SPOT.
Nay Be the First Continent Forming on
That LIQUID Planet.

Red spots have long been known
to exist on the planet Jupiter, one
of which is nearly as large as our
own world. 1t is a little over 10000
miles long and is oval in shape, and
it appears regularly as the planet
turns on its axis. This red spot is
said to be the beginning of a new
period in the history of Jupiter.
1t is believed Jupiter is still a
liquid mass owing to its intense
heat and that this red spot repre-
sents a collection of matter that is
forming the first island or cont,
nent on hat globe. But it will be
many millions of years yet before
that immense planet will be adapted
to the natural conditions that will
produce either vegetable or animal
life.
The red spot is being watched
with interest. 1t has been found to
have changed its location, moving
almost the length of itself, and an,
other feature of note is the even
edges of the formation, which would
indicate that it is being swept by a
continual wave, which, of course,
would keep the outline more regu-
lar than it will possibly be in time
to come.
Many have wondered what color
the earth would appear to be to a
person thousands of miles out in
space. 1t would be natural enough
to suppose it would appear to be
green. The sea has a greenish tint,
and the major part of the surface
of the land is covered with green
vegetation, except during the win
ter seasons, when it might be rea-
sonable to think at least a part of
the planet would appear white.
The mists that form the fogs AND
clouds might change the aspect en-
tirely and cause the world to look
very different from what it would
if viewed through a clearer atmos-
phere.
Some scientists advance the the,
DRY that the forty-fve or more miles
of atmosphere, filed with vapors of
different kinds, would prevent the
earth from being seen at all.
The fact is no one knows exact
ly how our globe would look to a
human eye in space.
Mars has a red tint. The polar
regions show white. and each of
these increases and decreases as the
season is supposed to change on that
planet. The natural conclusion is
that the vegetation or soil on Mars
is red. This may be wrong, how
ever, for there may exist conditions
that would change the real appear
ance of that distant world.--Har-
per's Weekly.

Engraving With Dynamite.

In the course of experiments to
determine the strength of high ex-
plosives a curious effect was produc-
ed by placing freshly plucked flow
er leaves between two plates of
panel steel and then exploding dy-
Mantle cartridges on the upper
plate. The recoil drove the upper
plate downward with such force as
to catch exact impressions of the
leaves before their delicate ribs had
time to give way to the violence of
the blow.-New York Press.

Miss Cameron Steals March on

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Miss Mar
garet Cameron, ward of the late Ed

nate. is congratulating herself today on
having successfully eluded a small
army of newspaper reporters and pho
tographers. who have been constantly
on the watch for her at Effingham
Park, Babylon, l.. L. She visited the
vast estate, stayed there for nearly an
hour and then returned to New York.
From a personal friend Of the young
woman 1t was learned thai on o
of the unrest which existed among the
servants of the estate. most of whom
had placed their savings of years with
Mr.. Hawley and of which no account
ing has as yet been made by any of
the dead mans heirs, she decided to
visit the park on Washington's Birth
day.
A number of merchants of Babylon
made claims against the estate yester-
day for articles bought by Mr.. Hawley
and Miss Cameron previous to Febru-
airy 2, when Mr.. Hawley died. 1t had
been the habit of the flnancier to pay
all outstanding bills by check on the
10th of the month, and as he died
shortly before this time there are sew

chants.

Do men read department store adver-
eiseTnentB7
This question has been a~gitating the
advertising world ever eince the first
store news was printed. whenever that
was.
A certain great advertising light re-
GENTLY declared:
THE averaR 60 woman reads h
advertisements more carefully and
fully than the man. owing to the
fact that she is mutually appointed
10 do the buying for the fanny. and
therefore she is a better Judge Of
price values. and is a better buyer
generally. When a man buys, he
has q set. definite article in view.
He goes into the store, expresses
his desires and departs. When she
shops she has nothing definite IN
view. and though she nay havs
been led into a store by an adver-
sisement. 1t ie seldom that abe
comes out with the article she
originally intended purchasing"
They say that difference of opinion
makes horse-racing possible. II also
keeps tho publicity pot simmering.
Without this difference of opinion ad-
vertising would always be either GOOD
or BAD. We differ with the above
quoted authority. We believe that men
DO read department store advertise
ments, and. moreover. we see to it
that our daily store news always CON
ta'ns something of interest to Mr..
Man.
