oie Seasons.

Really there are two pie seasons-one
when the blackberries, raspberries and
blueberries are ripe and when apples
is on the pumpkin. The pies Of the in
between times are as lead to gold to
the pies Of other times. No pie except
the pumpkin pie is a pie at all unless
the Juice runs from between the COW
ers, the juice Of ripened fruit charged
with sun and dew: Custom makes US
eat pie last. It is hard rule, deemed
only by the anticipation which helps
US to go through the preliminary sta
pies, glad in the thought of the delect-
able to come.-Chicago Post

Stage Bells.

"Parsifar is interesting. quite apart
from its artistic merit, as having had
a musical instrument invented for it
and named after it. The reproduction
Of the sound Of church bells in opera
was long a difficulty. Real bells SIM
ply drowned the orchestra. and all
substitutes were tried in vain until
Dr. Mott designed the Parsifal bell
instrument, somewhat on the principle
Of the grand piano. Each Of its five
notes has six strings, which are struck
by large hammers covered with cot
ton wool. And the result Is as near to
the solemn sound Of church bells as
the theater has been able to get-Bos-

Most of the severe storms do not
originate in the United States. They
come to us from the Philippines, ia
pan, Siberia. Alaska, Canada or the
gulf of Mexico. Our weather bureau
gets cable, telegraphic or wireless no.
t1ce Of a foreign storm. Station after
station Of the weather bureau and ves-
sci after vessel in the path Of the
storm report its arrival, so that the
general direction and the speed with
which it travels can be very nearly de-
termined. Some storms can be fore
told as much as ten days in advance Of
their arrival at given point
When a storm from Siberia drifts
eastward around the north pole and
reappears in Alaska the speed with
which it has covered that section Of its
course is made the basis Of the calcu-
lati0n Of the time when it should ap-
pear in Washington and Oregon, when
it should get to the great lakes and
finally to the Atlantic coast, and each
section is warned in advance. Unex-
pected conditions may delay the storms
or divert them from the course Tabs
are kept on the cold waves in much
the same manner. The weather reports
from Canada, Iceland, Europe, Russia
and Siberia are studied and predictions
made as to when the cold waves from
these countries will reach the United
States.
To predict foods information is re-
corded as to the amount Of rainfall at
headwaters Of streams. As the rain
reaches the main channel the height Of
the water is recorded from gaugings.
Records show what a height of twenty
feet at Dubuque, Ia, will produce at
Davenport, eighty miles down the Mis-
sisstppi. This plan is followed on all
the large rivers, and at each station
full allowance is made for the effects
Of water from tributaries and from ad.
ditional and local rainfall.-Leslie's.

Tho First Revolver.

The credit or dscredit of the inven:
lion Of the revolver belongs to a
Swiss of Vallorbe, Jean Francois Gro
bet who in 1914 fashioned, with the
collaboration of his son, the first ''six
shooter" which as q matter of fact at.
tracted the attention Of the then min
lister Of Russia at Zurich, Count Capo
d1sr1a, who sent specimen revolver
to Czar Alexander I. The royal recipi-
ent rewarded the inventor with a val.
liable ring, which it IS to be presumed
Grobet pawned, for he died few
years later in poverty.-JondoD Tele.

Ei PAso. Dec. 23.-That provisional

leo city in fear OF his life is the ic-
port circulated to-day by Carran2a
agents and denied by Villas people. Viz
listas admitted that there had been seri-
Gus trouble between the provisional
President of the convention forces and
Gen. Angeles, chief Of artillery for Gen.
Villa.
According to their reports troops un-
der the personal command of Angeles
were assigned to one OF the larger bar
racks in Mexico city. This was resented
by Gutierrez, who declared that no
troop movements could be made in the
capital without his orders. He sent a
detachment of troops to take charge of
the barracks, but his men were dis
armed by the Angeles men.
Angeles accused Gutierrez adherents
with continually stirring up strife in he
convention forces. while Angeles's sup
porters. one of the strongest OF whom
is Gen. Palafox. secretary to Gen. Emil
ano Zapata, accuse Gutierrez OF decided
CarranZa leanings.
Gen. villa was expected to arrive In
Mexico city tonight.

by messages, received here - day. that

DOUGLAS IN DANGER.

Adjoining the Arizona city.

WAsnINGroN. Dec. 23-While the
situation at Naco shows absolutely no
Improvement despite the presence there
of 5000 United States troops and two
Generals. reports from Mexico city indi-
cate that the political wheel Is about
to be given another turn In the existing
chaos in Mexico.
War Department reports to-day from
Naco showed that firing continues and
that the Maytoreua forces are preparing
to duplicate the situation at Douglas
AriZ, by attacking Aqua Prieta. Doug
las and Aqua Prleta are separated only
by a street, which marks the interna-
tional boundary and previous attacks
upon the Mexican town have resulted in
such casualties as have been occurring
at Naco.
The we. weather has made it impos-
s!hle for Gen. Scott to hold the proposed
conference with Hill and Maytorsua for
the purpose OF inducing one or both OF
them TO withd .aw from the border.
From Mexico city < is reported that
Gen. villa and his stan have returned
there after a tour OF the northern dis
tricts in accordance with the military
operation of the convention forces.

reason Is found here for creditug un-
