organization Of America, the Unit

gend goes that somewhere about
the beginning of the nineteenth
century Captain Mcneil, OF the
American frigate Boston, was cruis-
ing in the Mediterranean. While
near the coast OF sunny Sicily the
gentle southern breezes waited to
his ears the sound OF military
music Captain McNeils soul was
attuned to the concord OF SWEEP

family aroused in him the desire
to enjoy it at closer quarters. He
cast anchor and went ashore, and

that it would he a fine thing tC
have such band in his native
country. lie lost no time in acting
upon this mental suggestion, and il
the blandest and most engaging
manner invited the SiciIians to vis,

a concert and a ball, Lured by the
prospect of good American coin, the
Sicilians consented, and appeared
next evening III full splGndor on

GATHERING DATA
OF THE WEATHER
Prof. Anton Udden of Angus

Investigations.
is AIDED BY U. S. BUREAU
Hopes to Throw Light on Effect of
Local Surroundings in Deter
mining Phenomena.

Prof. Anton Udden, head of the
geology and biology departments at
Augustana college. is making an inter
esting study of the weather which has
prevailed in this vicinity for the last
20 years. endeavoring If possible TO
ascertain the effect of local surround
ings on the general weather condi-
tions OF n community. He has been
carrying on this study for several
weeks. working in cooperation with J..
II. Sherier. the head of the govern
ment weather bureau in Davenport.
At the Davenport Office Prof. Udden
is able to- get data covering all the
conditions OF the weather. such as tenn
perature. air pressure, relative humid
ity. etc. gathered in the morning OF
each day and these he has been care
fully compiling and arranging. Dur
ing the holidays he has spent much of
his time at the government weather
bureau in Chicago where he was able
To get the data covering The same con-
ditions as they prevailed in the morn
ing. In this work Professor Udden has
been ably assisted by some OF his ad-
vanced students studying in those de-
partments.
Ready In Spring.
The results OF his efforts he hopes
to make public some time in May and
they viii no doubt receive general rec
ognition from geographers who have
not as yet found an answer to the
query which Professor Udden hopes
10 solve One important discovery has
already been made and that is as TO
the location OF the greatest precipita-
ton OF rain during cyclone. Profes-
sor Udden has ample data to show
that the greatest rain fall and cloudi-
ness takes place about 200 miles north
OF the storm center.
II will be recalled that last year
Professor Udden performed success
fully the Foucault pendulum expert
ment for determining the rotation of
the earth. This was the second time
that a success had been made of this
experiment in this country.

Scottish Farmer and His Conditions.
And yet, and still again and again,
we return to the grand old L. 5. A
But l cannot leave this subject with
out briefly touching upon the Scottish
farmer and the conditions under
which he lives. In almost all cases
the farms in Scotland are rented or
leased for varying periods, which in
some instances reach nineUy-nIne
years. And those leases stipulate as
to what ne can do with the land. both
as t. rotation of crops, what he may
or may not sell of the products of the
land, and the rigid clause with refer
ence TO the maintaining of fences. /
visited a number of those farms in
company with Or. Pottie. who is a
veterinary surgeon and whose profess
sion took him to many of the farms
located in the vicinity of Paisley, which
is the home of the thread industry.
Have Hard Time.
I had ample opportunity to converse
with the master and mistress of many
of those farms, whose sons were at
work in the fields and daughters being
busily engaged with the duties OF the
home, which are many and hard, too,
as they have to. among other things,
milk and look after the cows. attend
to the churning if they made butter,
or if they sold the milk, then they had
to get that ready for the man or men
whose duty it was to take it TO the
railroad station or distribute it among
the customers just as our milkmen
do here, as the case might be And
] can assure you from the statements
made to me by those people that they
had a hard time to make ends meet
