WHAT Barometer SHOWS
Some Short Rules for the Intelligent
Reading Of This Most Useful Of
Instruments.

Do you properly understand the ba-
rometer? Many people tap the glass,
note rise or fall, say it will there
fore be wet or fine, and there end.
But there's more in barometrical SCI
ence than that. The following key
might be cut out for reference.
A steady rise shows that fine
weather may be expected, and, in
winter, frost. A rapid rise indicates
unsettled weather. Fine weather i'm
mediately after a rise mus not be ex-
pected to last. The barometer often
rises from a northward change in
the wind. A fall Of half tenth or
more in an hour is a sure warning of
a storm. A fall with a low thermom-
eter foretells snow or rain. With a
rising thermometer, wind or rain from
the south.
A fall in winter indicates warmer
weather; in hot weather, thunder.
Fine weather may occur with a low
glass, but it precedes wind or rain.
The rise or fall Of a barometer rather
than its absolute height shows an ap-
preaching change, so the usual words,
Fair" Change" etc., cannot always
be depended on. The rise from low
point indicates the close approach Of
gales.

The press-gang was an institution
which fourished In Great Britain In
the olden times when impressment
was the mode resorted to for manning
the navy. The practice, which had not
only the sanction Of custom, but the
force of law, consisted in seizing by
force, for service in the royal navy,
seamen, river watermen and at times
landsmen. The press-gang, an armed
party of reliable men commanded by
officers, usually proceeded to such
houses in the seaport towns as were
supposed to be the resort Of the sea-
faring population, laid violent hands
on all eligible men, and conveyed
them forcibly to the ships of war in
the harbor. Mitigations Of the harsh
laws on the subject were frequently in
troduced AS early as 1863 the naval
authorities had to secure the sanction
of the local justices Of the peace; in
1885 the term Of an impressed mans
service was limited to five years save
in urgent national necessity. BY that
time the system was becoming obso-
lete, and now the navy is manned by
voluntary service. But the laws sane
tioning impressment are in allegiance,
without being repealed.

Got What He Wanted.

Two venerable theologians In an up
state town were very friendly, despite
their differences in belief. One, who
was about seventy, was an Episcopa.
lian, while the other, who was slight
ly younger, was a Presbyterian.
The predecessor Of the Episcopalian
in that town had always liked to be
addressed as Father N" Having
got used to this title in conversa-
tion with the predecessor the Presby-
terian minister used it several times
in speaking to the new rector. who did
not want to be addressed that way.
Several times he asked the Presbyte-
rian to omit the title in his direct
conversation, but without result. One
day an explosion came.
See here, Doctor b." said the ven-
cradle but irate rector, 'for some time
/ have been asking you to stop calling
me father If you do 1t again, l shall
call you mother, and If you do it again
after that l shall call you grand
mother"

ENGINEER BOARDMAN RE
PORTS ON WATER.

An impounding reservoir and the
installation of a twelvetnch main
eliminating the ten-inch span which
carries the entire supply of water is
the only solution. to the water scar
city problem which the Board of AL
dermen is now facing. That is what
Hydraulic Engineer William III.
Boardman, of Philadelphia, told the
members of the Board of Aldermen
last night at a special meeting called
to take up the water question.
Now there is no direct pipe line be-
tween Frederick and the Fishing
Creek receiver. Engineer Boardman
recommends the erection of two miles
of twelve-inch main which will make
direct service line from Fishing
Creek to the city. The present con-
dition is that water from Fishing
Creek and Tuscarora is carried in a
twelve and ten-inch main respective
ly to a point near Indian Springs.
There the two mains join into a ten
inch main. Several miles closer to
Frederick the ten-inch main divides
into an eight and twelve-inch main.
Engineer Boardman diagnosed the
problem this way: Its simply that
you haven't sufficient water to main
tain pressure sufficient to send wa
ter to all parts of the city. There
isn't enough water running through
that ten-inch span to supply the de-
mand. An impounding reservoir and
the construction of this two miles of
pipe is the only solution.
can impounding reservoir, if the
main condition is eliminated, would
give Frederick a sufficient water sup
ply to take care of demands for the
next four or five generations"
Alderman Cutler brought out a
phase in the water scarcity problem
last evening that has not been touch
ed "If fire broke out on any high
section of Frederick" said Alderman
Cutler, "That whole section of Fred
erick would be burned. 1t would be
impossible to get enough water to
supply to fight the flames. l believe
that if a reservoir was constructed
and the two miles of pipe were in
stalled, Frederick need have no fear
of the largest kind of conflagration.
In the vicinity of Fishing Creek
receiver there are several natural
sites for impounding reservoirs.
These sites were considered last eve
ming at the meeting. There are also
several locations near Tuscarora re-
ceiver but the supply of water is not
sufficient to warrant the expenditure
of any large sum of money.
Today Engineer Boardman, Alder
men Cutler, Abbott, Phebus and Water
Superintendent Burck will go to Fish
ing Greek and Tuscarora receivers.
Engineer Boardman will submit re-
port to the Board of Aldermen at
later date.
Alderman Phebus said last evening
that he thought with the correction
of the pipe line trouble that it would
not be necessary to erect a storage
reservoir Engineer Boardman de-
clared that the water supply of Fred
erick became precarious only for
about three months a year.
