DRAMATIC INCIDENTS.
How Sothern Learned of the Deaths Of
Booth and MecuIIouah.


1t has been my fortune to encounter
two rather startling coincidents in con-
nection with the death Of Mr.. Booth
and John Mccullough.
The night that Edwin Booth died |
was taking supper in the dining room
of the Players club with three friends.
There were no other men in the club,
1t was about o'clock in the morning.
We, of course, knew that Mr. Booth
was i'll, but his death was not expected
Immediately While we were talking
over our meal suddenly every light in
the club went out. My companions be-
gan to call for the waiter and protest
loudly. From the darkness right at
our elbows a voice, that Of Mr.. Nc
CONCEAL, the manager of the club. said:
Flush! Mr.. Booth is dead"
The day Mr., Mccullough died hap
pened to be studying the play of Gym
beline." l was reading the song in
act A.
Fear no more the heat o. the sun
Nor the furious winters RACES.
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages.
Golden lads and girls all must
AS chimney sweepers come to dust.
when a friend of mine opened the door
of my room in the Sturtevant House
and said, "McCullough's dead. From

Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star
Spangled Banner on board the British
frigate Surprise during the lombard
ment of Fort McHenry, Baltimore, by
the British in 1914. When the British
attacked the city Key went on an err
rand, under a flag of truce, to the
British fleet, but was detained while
the bombardment took place. He
watched the progress Of the fight from
the British ship during the night, and
in the morning, seeing the stars and
stripes still waving triumphantly, COM
posed the famous song. 1t was at once
printed and became almost instantly
popular.

Measuring IA Snowfall.

The snowfall on mountains is esti-
mated in a number of ways. One
method is to measure the height ac-
cumulated on board one meter square
supported one meter above the ground,
and then sliding it into zinc tank for
determining the water it makes on
melting. Another type Of instrument
is a tube which is pushed down
through the snow then closed at the
bottom by a shov4 to retain the con-
tents of the tube bn withdrawal In
remote places, SIZED only at consid-
cradle intervals, tt b snow is collected
in tank, only tie snow water for
a stated period being measured. Vase
line oil in the tank covers the water,
preventing evaporation, and calcium
chloride hastens the melting Of the
snow.
