Spring time is with us again Soon the grass trees

will be another attraction for within them myrads
Of fish that hungry and watchful for the unucIy
worm, bug fly that be caught in the swirng wat
of the stream aght upon the surface of the placid
waters The fruit trees will be filled with blossoms and
the BIRDS already busy in building their nests, will fill
the air with music that charms and which fills the heart
with spirit of hankuness and respect for the Creator
Man also takes a life His spirit is lighter his
step quicker the gloom Of winter has passed from him.
He has longing to get out into the green fields the
woods and pastures and fill his lungs with the perfume
laden that sends the Blood tngng to the EXTERN
tiles OF every vein and artery Of his system He longs
get out his fishing tackle and cast fly chuck bug to
lure the festive denzens of the waters from their hiding
places and then gather around the campfire cook and
feast upon his fnny prey take them home his fam
lily and friends and tell them about the excitement of the
day. the big one that got away the whale that woudn t

Spring is houseceaning time 1t is the time when the

THE JURYMAN

Trial by jury is a good deal like
absolute monarchy in one respect;
1t is an excellent theory provided
you can get the right men to carry
it out.
Max Steuer, a New York lawyer,
said recently that men of big af-
fairs make the best jurors"
1t is always difficult to get compe-
tent jurymen.
An incident is related of an i'm
portant insurance case which was
once tried in Chicago involving many
millions of dollars. The taking of
evidence and the pleas of the counsel
had occupied three weeks. Just be-
fore the jury retired a venerable look
ing juryman with long whiskers
arose and asked the judge if he
might be permitted to put one ques-
tion. The judge consented.
WELL" said the juryman, stroking
his beard and looking very judicial.
there is one word which has been
used great deal which do not un-
derstand, and l wish the court would
tell me what it means. 1t is the
word defendant.

CHAPTER XIV

Fairchild did not hesitate. Scrap
ing the watery conglomeration into
tobacco can, he threw on his coat
and ran for the shaft. Then he
pulled himself up, singing, and dived
into the fresh-made drifts of a new
storm as he started toward town !;
nor did he stop to investigate the fast
fading footprints Of some one who
evidently had passed the mine short
time before.
Into town and through 1t to the
scrambling buildings Of the Sampler
where the main products of the mines
Of Ohadi found their way before 60
ing to the smelter. There he swung
wide the door and turned to the little
room on the left, the sanctum of
white-haired, almost tottering old man
who wandered about among his test
tubes and "buttons" as he figured out
the various weights and values of the
ores as the samples were brought to
him from the dirty, dusty, bin-filled
rooms of the Sampler proper A queer
light came into the old fellows eyes
as he looked into those of Robert
Fairchild.
Don't get 'em too high!" he ad-
monished. Fairchild stared.
"What?"
Hopes I've seen many fellow
come in just like you. I've been here
thirty year. They call me Old Under
taker Chastinel"
Fairchild laughed.
''But I'm hoping"
yep, Son." Undertaken Chastine
looked over his glasses. you're just
like all the rest. You're hoping. Trot
'er out and let the old Undertaken
have look at 'er."
Sobered now, Fairchild reached for
his tobacco can, which had been
stuffed full of every scrap of slime
that he and AIRY had been able to
drag from the powder hole Evident
ly, his drill had been in the ore, what
ever 1t was, for some time before he
realized it; the can was heavy, ex
ceedingly heavy, giving evidence of
putty VI SOhCthAhS at tCuct DuI Oh-
dertaker Chastine shook his head
Cant TELL" he announced. "Feels
heavy, looks black and all that But
it might not be anything but straight
lead with sprinkling of silver. And
then again"
He began to tinker about with his
pottery. He dragged out scoop from
somewhere and prepared various
white powders. Then he turned to
the furnace with its high-chimneyed
draft, and filed a container with the
contents Of the tobacco can.
Let 'er roast, Son." he announced.
"That's the only way. Let 'er roast
and while it's getting hot, well. you
just cool your heels"
Long waiting-while the eccentric
old assayer told doleful tales of other
days, tales Of other men who had
rushed In, just like Fairchild, with
their sample Of ore. only to depart
with the knowledge that they We're
no richer than before, days when the
news of the demonetization of silver
swooped down upon the little town
like some black tornado. closing down

HOW UPPER AIR. OBSERVATIONS
AID WEATHER FORECASTING

The observations of the winds at
high levels made twice day at a
number of Weather Bureau stations
both serve the needs of aviators and
also supplement the observations at
the earth'S surface on which weather
forecasts are based.
The Atlantic coast storm of October
1924, instead of following the usual
track of such storms, northeastward
along the coast north of Cape Hat
teras, followed a most exceptional
course from the vicinity of Cape Hat
teras to eastern Lake Erie. The rain
area attending this storm extended
far to the west and the northwest of
the region in which rainfall ordinarily
occurs in connection with coast
storms.
Forecasters of the Weather Bureau
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture state that there was moth
ing on the daily weather maps, as
Drawn from the ordinary surface OBJ
servations, to suggest that the storm
would take this unusual course, but
that pilot-balloon flights and the OBJ
served movements of the upper clouds
for day or two preceding the storm
showed that at an altitude of two or
three miles the winds were blowing
from souhtherly instead of from a
westerly quarter, as they usually do
at these levels. This abnormaIitv in
the upper winds justified the predic-
tion on the morning of October %
that the storm would move north
westerward, as it did, and that the
accompanying rains would extend
over the Appalachian Mountain re-
gion and into the upper Ohio valley
and lower lake region.
