Indians Had Proverbs.
There are many proverbs fOretell-

pearance Of solar and lunar halos and
caronas and Dr. Humphreys says
As these form only when there is
much moisture IN the air and some
condensat ion. the proverbs of this
class are well founded"
The Zuni Indians have a proverG
which says.

These proverbs referring 10 the

Far burr, near rain.
The bigger the ring, the nearer

Or. Humphreys. but also prevents

winter grains. In short, as another
proverb puts Il:

There is another class of proverbs,

BY HUGH S. MILLER.

WASHINGTON. June I - The
weather proverb at which some sci
entists have presumed TO sheer, has
received the official approval of the
United States Weather Bureau. The
Government experts have decided that
in general these proverbs are based
on actual scientific phenomena, and
can be depended on. They are es
peciallv recommended TO the people
in communities which do not receive
official forecasts from the Bureau.
Says the Weather Bureau, in d
paper written by w J. Humphreys,
Professor of Meteorological Physics OF
the Bureau. and appearing in the
year book Of the Department OF Agri-
culture:
Thus the fisherman to-day. as in
the past, will weigh anchor and flee
from the gathering storm when, 10
the initiated, there is no indication
of anything other than continued fair
weather; and the woOdsman. as did
his remotest ancestors, will note sig
nificant changes and understand their
warning messages when the average
man would see no change at all. or
If he did. would fail to comprehend
its meaning

EGYPTIANS WERE FIRST
TO HAVE INCUBATORS

The Matching of eggs by means Of
artificial heat has been practiced in
China and Egypt from prehistoric
times. In the latter country there
still exists ancient egg hatcheries or
manuals" that heve been in continual
use in the same families for many gen.
erations. These incubators consist of
large brick ovens that will hold about
10000 to 10000 eggs at time. The
fire is built inside the oven and it
is watched carefully for ten days after
which no additional heat is necessary.
The method of building the fires and
maintaining them so as to preserve
the right temperature is trade secret
that is jealously guarded and usually
kept in the family. About 10 per cent
of the eggs are said to be successful
ly Matched by this method. The pro-
duction Of eggs for the export trade
has become to be very important in
dustry in Egypt. Most of the eggs are
sent to England, the wholesale prive
averaging only about nine cents a
dozen.

CHARLTON ARRIVES TO
STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER

GENOA, Aug. 26.-Accompanied by
the two carabinieri who have not left
his side since he was taken from the
New Jersey prison on Aug. IA, Por-
ter Charlton arrived here today on
board De 'dItalia to stand trial for the
murder of his wife. Fears that he
might attempt suicide during the voy-
age, rather than face the Italian
courts, were entirely ungrounded ac-
cording to the carabinieri.
The sea voyage had evidently bene-
fited Charlton very much. He appear
ed in much better physical trim even
than when taken from New Jersey.
He declined positively to discuss the
case saying that it was a matter solely
for his attorneys.
AS yet practically nothing has been
done by the Italian government to-
wards the trying of the case. The de-
partment of justice preferred that
Charlton should be actually in its jur-
isdiction before it should begin its
work. 1t has not even been decided
whether he shall be kept at Rome
or at Milan, which is nearer to Como
where the case will probably be heard,
pending the preliminary preparations.
In general, it is not expected that
Charlton will be convicted although
very likely he will be judged insane
and disposed of accordingly. Owing
to the profound influence which Lom-
broso, the famous criminologist who
died few years ago at Milan, had
upon Italian judicial life. conditions
are most favorable in Italy for es-
Gaping criminal convictions on pleas
of mental responsibility.
Lombroso's profound studies, which
have been recognized in all parts of
the world resulted in goodly part
of the italian criminal code being
modified in favor of those who have
become criminals through inherent
moral or mental deficiency. Judges
and jurors throughout Italy are also
disposed towards this phase !,
Of criminology in all cases heard by |
them.
Should Charlton actually be brought |
TO trial he will be enclosed in steel
age in the court room as were the

GREAT DAM AT KEOKUK
ON MISSISSIPPI DEDICATED

KEOKUK, Iowa, Aug. 26.-With
both shores of the Missippi river at
this point banked with spectators, and
the river dotted with boats containing
thousands of others the Keokuk dam,
the greatest water power project in
the world and one of the largest en-
gineering feats of modern times, was
officially dedicated today. The gov
ernors of Iowa, Missouri and Illinois,
noted engineers from various parts of
the world, dignitaries from WASH
ington and municipal officials from a
score of cities and towns near here
took part in the ceremonies. A dele
cation of eastern governors on their
way to the governors conference at
Colorado Springs stopped off today
TO witness the dedication ceremonies.
The great Keokuk dam will fur
nisn 100000 horse power in light and
power to scores of cities from Du-
buque to st. Louis. 1t stretches across
the Father of Waters between Keo-
kuk and Hamilton, ILL.,, and cost ap-
proximately $25,OO0,000. The huge
wall of cement, stone and brick is
fifty-three feet high and forty-two
feet at it's widest point Twenty-Five
hundred men worked three years to
complete the dam in the construction
of which 650,O0O barrels of cement
alone were used. 1t is 4,649 feet in
length and will make Cooper lake a
body of water sixty-five miles long,
from one and one-half to three and
one-half miles wide and fifty feet
deep.
Iowa and Illinois state troops pa
raded this morning and later acted as
escorts to distinguished guests. Fol-
lowing the parade the state officials
of Iowa, Illinois and Missouri met in
the center of the dam where speeches
were made. Later they adjourned to
the government grounds where the
formal dedication ceremonies were
held.

famous Camorrists during their trial
at Viterbo. The usual carbinieri with
fixed bayonets will be constantly on
guard and will take the usual pre-
cautions to prevent the attempts at
suicide which SO often happen in the
PRISONS cage in the Italian court room.
Italian attorneys who have looked
up the case have succeeded in finding
precedent in Charlton's favor which
they say will unquestionably be in
troduced. An almost identical case
was tried several days ago in Italy,
when an Italian named Olivietto muir
dered his wife, concealed the body in
trunk and threw it into lake.
Lombroso, who was then alive and
was called as an alienist in the case,
demonstrated not only that the man
was mentally irresponsible but that
owing to peculiar conditions he was
perfectly harmless as far as society
in general was concerned. His COM
plete acquittal followed.
Should Charlton be convicted he
would probably be given the usual
penalty of life imprisonment. This
carries with it seven years of solitary
confinement which in Italy usually
proves fatal.
In the case Of his being adjudged
insane, he will be confined in an asy-
Ium until he is either cured or until
the department of public safety is
convinced that his liberty would not
be menace to the public at large
This in Italy it is usually not difficult
to establish.
1t is believed it would be especially
easy in the present case in view Of
the fact that as Charlton would prob
ably make his future resident ii
