 4 YEAR AHEAD

Professor Charles c. Abbot and others who are working at the oh gervatory on Mt Wilson, near PaSa- deaa. Cal, on the variability of solar heat are confident, and think they shall finally be able to forvell climatic conditions. That Is, will be able to tell ahead Of time whether a season is to be wet or dry so that farmers will know what to do about their crops.
 This statement was made TecehUIy by A. Howard Clark, curator and editor of the Smithsonian lnsutu- ticn at Washington.
 Professor Abbot, who is direct or of the astro-physIoal observatory Of the Smithsonian Institution and who gauged the variability of the sun's heat, is very actively at work in this branch of astronomical re search.
 While at work on it a short time ago. Professor Abbot went to Al giers and there found that an ap- preciable change in the heat Of the sun was caused by dust in the at mosphere sent off by volcano ln Alaska.

Walker, which took the frs. prize at the Skagway Hor- ticultural fair on Sept, 4th and was afterward shipped to seattle and exhibited there by the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, was removed a few days ago and placed in a front window of the Bon Marche, the largest de pa.tment store in Seattle, where it is attracting the notice of thous- ands of people daily,

Slana VS.. Science.

If the defenders of slang did not
try to prove so much they would have
a stronger case. 1t is mere enthusi-
asm that leads the Nashville Tennes-
seean, for instance, to assert that
slang has contributed to English a
thousand worth while and workable
words for every such word contributed
by science" Slang is strong on con-
tribution, but weak on staying power.
Every season sees new verbal inven-
tions which the next season relegates
to the realm of the obsolete. The
words added by science may be less
cOlorful, although this is not invar-
iably true, but they do not vanish
away so rapidly. We may say
phone for telephone" and auto
for automobile" but the great mass
of terms brought into the language by
scientific discovery and invention do
not undergo even the process of alb

upon the one ground upon which the
Tennesseean is momentarily plausi-
Bile. The reason for the transient
character of slang words, it thinks,
is that there come new ideas that
must be named. The idea has its
little day and passes out of the life of
the people. With the idea passes the
name of that idea" On the contrary
the new slang that is brought into
being is usually nothing but new
names for old ideas. Slang is an
endless process of redressing ideas in
new clothes. What erstwhile was

lers" are transformed into gray

Pids at Watchdogs.

The native wild hogs of Mexico,
which the natives call jabalis (hah
bah-leel. savage beasts in their nat
ural state. are not seldom used as
watchdogs. If they are caught young
and brought up with goats they will
go out into the hills with the herd
and fight off coyotes or other wild
animals; if they are raised with chick
ems, they will protect them, and round
a ranch house at night they are as
useful as any dog.
Although fierce by nature they can
be tanned until they follow their mas
ter like a dog. The landlord OF hotel
in one of the border towns even keeps
one of the wild hogs as a playmate
for his baby son.
The iabali is only first cousin, how
ever, to the domestic pig. Swine are
divided into two main branches. In
one line is the farmers pig, descended
from the wild hog of Europe. and in
the other is the jabali, which is really
a peccary. But the jabali IS quite
piggy" enough. with his small. deX-
ible snout. long. mottled brist.es, and
long. sharp tusks. Like the skunk.
he finds one means OF protection in
a musk gland on his back, which
must be cut out promptly if his flesh
is to be eaten. As the iabalis live
mostly on seeds. roots, acOrns. and
farmers crops. their meat is sweet;
and Texas SpOrtsmen often cross the
Mexican border TO hunt them

Fat People Need Not Worry.

The only condition known in which
excessive accumulations of healthy or

Two Famous Old Men

Persons of all nationalities will read
with pleasure the statement from
Vienna. Austria, that emperor Francis
Joseph, in the midst OF the turmoil
and carnage of the great war, is en-
Toying better health than for years
previous. Ii was a natural prediction
at the beginning of the war that the
aged emperor would suffer a complete
physical breakdown on account of the
terrible conditions. At the age OF 50
years, many of them very turbulent
wears, he now exhibits a stamina uneX-
perienced by few men of his age in
the quieter and supposedly healthier
activities of life. At the age OF Is
he was crowned in the midst OF the
Hungarian uprising of 1S4S. This end
ed, his country was repeatedly inyolv-
ed in war with Italy and Prussia. AT
his rounding out of 81 years as EN-
peror he is a marvel physically and
mentally. 1t is quite interesting to
mention in this connection that one
of the most eminent of American finan-
ciers and publicists, Levi Parsons
Morton, has just celebrated his nine
ty-first birthday. To the younger
generation he is practically unknown.
1t is twenty years since he was elected
to his last public office, that of COVER
nor of New York, which he held for
two years. He was appointed to the
high diplomatic position of ambassa-
dor to France in 1881 by President
Garfield, held that office until the ad-
vent of the Cleveland administration
in 1885 was elected vice president OF
the United States in 1888 when Ben
iamin Harrison was elected to succeed
Cleveland, and in 1895, soon after end
ing his tenure of the national office,
was elected to the highest executive
office in his own state. During all
his mature years he was in great
banking business and for much of the
time at the head of what was the
greatest banking institution of the
country. He celebrated his anniyer-
versary at his home in Washington,
where thiIty-fve years ago he began
his term as vice president.-Pttsburg
