CLOUD FORMATIONS.
What We Know About Them Seems to
 Be Mainly Guesswork.

What We Know About Them Seems to
 Be Mainly Guesswork.
 Many scientists have told us how clouds are made. Most of the text. books on physical geography tell all about them. but 1t Is all guesswork. Clouds are mystery. It is true they are composed of moisture floating in the air. but how did the moisture get there?
 It is held that particles of moisture are evaporated from the earths sur. face by the heat of the sun. This moisture does not form into clouds i'm. mediately. Indeed. the passage of the moisture from the earth to the upper air is quite invisible. It was formerly supposed that this moisture was con. densed by the cold of the upper air into rain droplets, which formed the clouds.
 But scientists hold that the tiny par. ticles must have something to con- dense upon. They used to tell us that the moisture collected upon dust par ticles to form into rain drops. Now they are practically agreed that it is something else. but they don't know what.
 Anyway, when these drops get large enough they accumulate into vapor, forming clouds. When the droplets get too large and heavy to float in the air they fall to the earth in the form of rain. and this is about all we actu ally know about clouds.-War Cry.

Frank j. Russell.
For the Advocate.

For the Advocate.
Frank ]. Russell, SON of Thomas
w. and Mary Englar Russell, was
born in Union Bridge, on December
%, 1869.
He was educated at the public
school-the Friends School in Union
Bridge,-and the Friends Preparatory
School in Abingdon, Pa. Upon Ieav-
ing school, he devoted himself to the
study OF electricity, and perfected a
number OF inventions which brought
him into such prominence that the
city of New York adopted many OF his
lighting appliances for the public
schools and libraries, and for the
municipal ferries.
As an inventor of marine electrical
specialties, Mr.. Russell was widely
known; and his signals are used on
many of the transatlantic lines.
In April, 1896, he was married, in
New Windsor, to Miss Josie B. Myers.
For a number of years they made
their home in Brooklyn, New York,
where they gathered about them a
wide circle Of friends. It was during
this time that Mr.. Russell organized
the Russell and Stoll Company Of
New York City, Of which he was pres
ident, until failing health forced him
to retire from business in 1908. He
then returned with his family to New
Windsor, where his illness terminated
fatally on February 6, 1914.
In his business career as in his pri-
vate life, Mr.. Russell's high sense OF
honor, answering principle and
gentle courtesy of speech and manner
proved him a Christian gentleman of
the noblest type. Everyone with whom
he was associated felt the quickening
influence of his gifted mind and rare
spirit, and became his warm friend
and admirer.
Throughout his long illness his for
titude and unselfishness, his unfailing
consideration for those about him,
sustained throughout incredible suf-
fering to the very last, were heroic
testimony to a sublime and mistaken
faith; and while all who knew him
must grieve that his earthly life should
have been SO early brought to a close
we deeply feel that his high mission
was accomplished, and in its triumph
bids us remember that for the Chris
tian's soul there is i'm death no sting
and in the grave no victory.

Working For Local Option.

An important meeting OF about
twenty-five business men OF West
minister was held, in response to a
call issued by DR.. r.. III. Lewis, in the
Lobby or The Times Building on
Tuesday evening, to consider plans
that might aid in securing Local
Option Bill for Carroll county at this
session of the Legislature.
The meeting was full of snap and
interest, and those present were en-
thusiastic i'm their support of the
measure. It will be remembered that
four years ago representative meet
ing or men from various sections Of
the county was called and there was
formed an organization known as the
Carroll County Local Option League.
with DIR. IT. I'll. Lewis, as president
and DR.. ID. Y. Shipley, as Secretary.
Following the meeting an attempt was
made to secure from the Legislature
of that year q bill giving Carroll
county the privilege of voting on the
question of saloons or no saloons.
The measure, however, failed to Sc
cure the required number of votes in
the house, and since then nothing
definite has been done for Carroll
county, all effort being thrown into
the attempt to pass Statewide bill.
This, as is well known, also failed
and as a result, Carroll county, today,
Is without foot of dry territory and
without any means OF protection to
those communities who do not want
saloons.
Delegate Herbert r. Wooden has
presented bill for Carroll county,
giving its citizens the privilege OF
voting on the question, upon the fill
ing of petition signed by twenty
five per cent Of the voters OF the
county.
Various plans were discussed that
might aid in securing the passage OF
this Bill. Petitions are being circulat-
ed, and a large delegation is being
organized to 60 to Annapolis at the
proper time to appear before the
Temperance committee and the MEM
bers from this county and urge the
support of this measure. After fur
ther discussion of the question the
meeting adjourned, subject to the call
OF the chairman.
Evidences Of unusual interest are
being manifested all over the county,
and the people are becoming dead in
earnest In the matter.

a Man Of Tact.

There is a story of young man
who had just been engaged by Man
chester firm, and who was warned
that the great fault of his predecessor
had been want of tact. The young
man started out, and to the surprise
of his employers, orders began to
come in a quite unprecedented rate
The climax came when a big order
was sent in from a firm with whom
the wholesale house had had a bitter
quarrel, ending in total stoppage
OF business. The travellers employers
sent for him on his return and asked
him how he had managed that par
tfcular miracle II used tact, sir"

RAISES MITE BIN CALENDAR.
Babe That Weighed Three Pounds
When Born Brought to u.

New Orleans, Feb. Frances
Giuffrid, now six months old, has the
distinction of being the smallest baby
ever born to live.
On the day of her birth, August 4,
she weighed three pounds and six
ounces and a week later her weight
had been reduced to two pounds seven
ounces, no larger than a mans hand
Physicians held out little hope for
her recovery.
But I did not lose hope" said the
little mother, Mrs. Stella Giuffria, an
Italian girl.
~ got DR.. d. a. Palmisano to treat
her, and from that day on Frances
started to pick up. She took on about
a pound a week during the last month
and now she weighs over IL pounds
and is as healthy child as you might
find anywhere in the city.
"Dr. Palmisano did not give her a
bit of medicine, either. He gave her
what he called the calendar treat
ment.' He would weigh her every day
and give her precisely the amount of
nourishfnent the calendar called for
a baby weighing just SO much. Ii
had a marvellous effect"
