The other was with big fellow called

jeff has said that he was more angry
at Van Buskirk than he ever was at

1t seems to me to illustrate exception
ally well the strong, calm, kindly tenn
per of the big fellow, whom no amount
OF punishment in the ring ever made
sore or vicious, that he should become
so angry over wrongs done other men.
Van Buskirk was a huge, reddish
ccmplexioned heavyweight fighting
around San Francisco in the middle
nineties. He was as big as JET him
self and twice as ugly, with an i'm
perceptible forehead and hinge dirigible
ears. He had acquired quite repu-

fast and a clever boxer for so big a
man. They said he was "ccrner"
The distinctive thing about his fight

clever himself, he delighted in jabbing

when it announces that trouble i'm
pends. The landlubber and the leg
islative cynic may have their little
joke at the expense of the weather
service: but the .sailorman knows
that it is money in his pocket to
heed the sign that is given him.
The shipping, therefore, stayed in
shelter; and there is 10 doubt that
scores of vessels and very probably
hundreds Of lives were saved as d
direct result. IL Is always impos-
sible to make useful estimates OF
what might have happened in such a
case. But certain it is that the
chipping people know how timely
and useful was the warning they
received.
The weather service costs about
S1,600,000 year to the Government.
There i: little room to doubt that
the saving in property alone, which
was accomplished by reason of its
warnings in advance of this storm,
amounted to several times the an
Eual cost OF the whcle service. All
honor and recognition to the scicn-
tific ard efficient work which accom-
plishes such excellent results. DR..
Charles F. Marvin, the chief Of the
Weather Bureau, generously gives
the lions share Of credit to the
subordinates who were in Immediate
charge Of the forecast and signal
work, and who lost not . minute in
grasping the situation and setting
the machinery at work to protect
life and property. 1t is not hard to
believe, however, that the chief is
entitled to more of the credit than
he claims, for the quality and eRec-
tiveness of his organization, making
such results possible.

A DIFFERENT kIPLING.

The Kipling of Mowgli and Null
vaney, of Toomai and Danny Deever,
surely is not the same Kipling who
has Joined the ultra-tory party in
Britain, and now joins in ali appeal
to the nation to prevent home rule
IN ireland, with intimation of will
lngness to take extreme steps if
necessary. Of course, these sug-
gestions of fighting are not to be
taken seriously. The home rule bill
will pass and go into effect despite
the bluster of people who are making
Ulster preteXt for effort to defeat
the liberal government.
1t is now promised that the meas
ure shall be amended so that listers
delegation in the Irish parliament
may veto the application to Ulster
Of the measures they do not want.
This is the next thing to giving u
ster home rule on its own account,
which would seem the ideal plan.
The same logic that conceded Ire
land parliament of its own, ought
to admit that Ulster is entitled to
the same independence of the rest
OF Ireland. In population, wealth
and general Importance Ulster is
quite capable of sustaining its own
legislative system. Apparently it
doesn't want to go along with the
rest of Ireland, and it is not ap-
parent why it should be forced to do
so. On the other hand, by no means
should its dissent become a reason
to defeat the home rule plan as a
whole.
Kipling is appealing. with the
tories in general, for another general
election on the subject. If there
should be such an election-and Mr..
Asquith says there will not bets
result would not be any more deci-
sive of this issue than was the last
one. The appeal for a new election
is disingenuous. and those who make
it know it is. They hope on a COM
rleXity of issues TO turn the liberals
out and kill home rule for another
generation. The liberals are right
in insisting On immediate settlement.

Jeffries saw the bout and fumed and
ragged and fretted all the evening until
he had found his manager, Billy De-
laney, and given him orders that Van
Buskirk was the next man he was to
fight. Delaney arranged the match, al
though he felt some misgivings about
doing go, for Van Buskirk was rated
much better man then than Jeffries.
When the men were called to the
center of the ring for the fight the
audience was surprised to see the usual
ly mild-mannered Jeffries scowling
ferociously. Then he refused to shake
hands at the beginning of tine bout
und they got another shock. When
the gong rang he rushed at his foe and
cut loose furious storm of hooks and
swings.
Despite his brutality, Van Buskirk
was no coward. He stood his ground
and met jeff rush for rush and wallop
for wallop. They still tell abut that
first round. On the coast they say it
was the fastest round between heavy
weights. Toward the end Jeff's strength
began to tell and Van Buskirk was
driven back to his corner fighting saw
agely.
When the gong rang for the second
round jeff was out of his chair and
across the ring with rush. His foe
met him with jab, but even As the
jab landed against his cheek his own
left curled and thudded against Van
Buskirk's stomach. then as he bowed
forward swung up in lifting hook to
his jaw.
Then Jeffries; the slow and methodi-
cal rushed forward until his head rest
ed on Van Buskirk's chest and dug in
with both hands in q manner that
would have done credit, to Stanley Ket-
chel or McGovern. A dozen times he
hit Van Buskirk, then the latteris body
shut up like q jackknife and slid Imply
to the floor.
They took him to hospital Though
he was soon able to be about, ne never
amounted to much after that. The
mauling he had received seemed not
only to have taken all the viciousness
out of him, but all the fight a. wen,
and he soon drifted to the scrap heap,
and was no more heard of.

THE WEATHER BUREAUS
WORK.

It Is so common TO poke fun at
the Weather Bureau, especially to
assume that it never makes the right
guess unless it ,gCesses after the
facts, that fairness to 4 useful and
really efficient sel~yice dictates ac-
knowledgement OF the good work ac-
compiished in connection with the
great storm OF this week.
On Saturday morning last Fore
cast Officer A. ]. Henry was on
duty when the first telegraphic re-
ports Of observations in the Gulf
and South Atlantic sections came
in with data justifying expectation
of trouble. The barometer reading
from Pensacola showed a very strik-
ing depression. Other reports from
that section were not calculated 20
create especial misGiving except
when they were studied in conncc-
ton with this impressive condition
at Pensacola.
Promptly MIR. Henry sent orders
for special reports, so that he could
keep in touch with developments;
and during the day these came in.
BY evening the material at hand
made It possible accurately to out
line a fully developed and danger
Gus storm on the weather map. Il
was then over the Georgia coast,
and Immediately storm T-arninga o.
the most emphatic sort were rushed
10 all coast points. Shipping was
warned 20 remain III port, and spc-
clal precautions were taken to in
sure that no naritine interest
should be overlooked in getting the
warning circulated.
A. midnight that night Mr..
Henry, who had "hanGlei" the storm
10 this point, was scheduled to 20
off duty as chief forecaster, and to
be succeeded by Mr.. E. II. Bowie;
",.dnight representing. as it hap
peEed, the merging of February into
March, and Mr.. Bowie being the Of
fccr assigned rs chief forecaster for
March. Accordingly The service
charged horses in the middle Of the
stream. Mr.. Henry turned over to
his successor the data ard the in
formation as TO what had been done,
and Mr.. Bowie took hold. It was a
most interesting situation, and the
event proved that the organization
of the service was such that the
change could be made without any
difficulty Or decentralization. Mr..
Bowie carried forward the emer-
gency work his predecessor had in
stituted, with results, which will per-
haps never be quite appreciated, but
whose Importance is not difficult to
understand.
Shipping along the coast, now
adays, regards the warning of the
bureau very much as, when at sea,
it does the rs. o. S." call. There's
no use arguing with the bureau
