Unique, and all those of high attitudes
They may begin on a small scale, but
increase in dimension and intensity as
they go on their course Of destruction;
They travel always in a norlh-Westerly
or very near to it-direction, and at.
ter striking the North America coast :
usually Texas. they proceed norttwacd
along the coast, sometimes reaching
Canada, and eventually spend their force
out in the Atlantic.
These cyclones revoIve from right to

there is perfect calm,
1t will be seen from the above, that
a storm approaching St. CroiX VII in
variably strike from the north east, and
should the wind wear round to east
and finally to south, the storm will
pass far out to the south Of the island.
but should it keep steadily at northeast,
with a falling barometer, the center
will pass over the island, and the wind,
after a calm of about AS minutes or an
hour-according to the size of the cen
ter-will swing round to the south and
south west, when the effects can be just
as severe as from the north east, but it
will then gradually leave US in peace.
The velocity of these cyclones some
time reaches as high as 120 miles an
hour, but the whole storm which is like
huge wheel travels comparatively slow
from II to 20 miles an hour. Thus,
when the center reaches St Kits, which
is about 100 miles from ST. Croix, we
may expect it within 5 or 6 hours When
the barometer continues falling, and ar
rives at 1866, it is wise to bar up."
The barometer will rise when the cen
ter has passed.
Durin~ these storms, the light heecy-
clouds, known as Cirrus clouds, and
which under normal conditions travel
from northwest TO north. east, reverse
their course and follow the direction of
the wind. they are a strata of clouds
very high up above the rain clouds, and
resembles fine cotton or fleece. These
are the main conditions to be noticed,
there are others which by long observa-
ton we may learn, but the above are
sufficient for warning US of the approach
Of the storm.

Judge S. E. Paul, presiding at

call Kittock ON the stand in alb

to questions by his counsel, that
he had met Matuskof twice but
he said he had never been init

Detective Testihes
That county officers were doing
everything within their power to
uncover the mystery surrounding
the death of Carl Seigert whose
body was found in the Poplar
Greek west of ScObey more than
a year ago, came to light at the
trial of Joe Kittock, charged with
manslaughter in district court,
when the state put George Matsu-
koff, a detective who speaks Pol
ish, en- the witness stand to cor
roborate the story of Elsie He'd
derrick, the accused mans niece
who testified that she saw her
uncle shoot a man at her grand
mothers home shortly before Sci

Defense Much Surprised

it was evident that Kittock and.
his attorney were taken by sur
prise. MaSsukoff has been around
Scobey for SOME time, got ac-
quainted with Kittock, he says,
and was much at the KittockI
home. He alleged he drank with
him and talked with him of the
killing of Seigert and the impend-
ing trial.
"They amt got nothing on me

spilled the BEANS" Matsukoff tes-
Kitrock told him.

the killing had BEEN done. To this
he said Kittock rejoined: Hell,
no! If they got that gun they will

On another occasion, Matsukoff
alleged that Kittock said: Gwen if

nothing on me, only the stony of
the kid and, believe me, I'll shut

When he went to the Kittock
home to make a social call and.

trial in English because he did not
want his wife to understand.
Said He Was Drunk
On this occasion, Matsukoff
said Kittock told him he was sor-

that it wouldn't have happened if

Clues to Character
BY ]. o. ABERNETHY.
Not Good in Mathematics.

1t is understood that no two per-
sons are exactly alike in size, FORM
disposition or character. Some in
dividuals Of ordinary mentality find
it quite simple to calculate rapidly,
while others. with much keener
minds, have a hard time with the
simplest sum.
Nature never intended that every
man or every woman should be an
expert calculator or even an average
one. And for that reason we are en-
abled to know the man who can make
a good Job at handling figures. be-
cause the faculty of number will show
by the development of that part of
the brain. Then, too, if he is lacking
in that ability his forehead will
show it.
Glance at the temples and on each
side of the angle of the eyes. II
there is narrowneSS between the tenn
pies. in proportion to the rest of the
head, you will know that here is a
chan who has no natural ability for
mathmatics, calculation or "fgUxing." ?"
If the faculty of number is small
there will seem to be a f1atness in the
temple region.
Persons with fiat temples are not
good in arithmetic, nor in judging the
quality of things. They also are un-
skilled and are not adapted to run
ming machinery. 1t is very simple;
once YOU understand the art of judg
ing people. you can pick an indiffer-
ent mathematician out of a crowd.

-Graywing the Gull.

Reddy Fox had been so interested
in watching the queer fellow who
swan backward and whose feet grew
out from his head, for that is what
those long, moving feelers really were,
that he had quite forgotten the pool
that had suddenly turned all black
when he rolled a stone into it. He was
reminded of it now by something that
happened. Unnoticed by Reddy. Gray
wing had picked up a stone. He flew
up until he was exactly over that
queer fellow in the water. Then he let
the stone drop. The water splashed
up right in Reddy's face and startled
him so that he turned tail and raced
away.
''Ha. ha, ha." laughed Graywing.
Reddy stopped short and looked
back. He didn't know yet what had
happened, but he was sure that Gray
wing had played a joke on him some
how. Reddy is just like you-he
doesn't like to have jokes played on
him. 1t made him cross. He had
opened his mouth to say something
sharp and unpleasant when he hap
pened to glance at the water. He
didn't say a word. He forgot that he
was going to say something sharp and
unpleasant. That water was turning
black right where Reddy had seen
that queer fellow. Reddy looked up
at Graywing and then down at the
water. Slowly, for he was very sus-
picious. he crept back to the edge of
the water. 1t was just like the water
that had so puzzled him in the little
pool into which he had rolled a stone
a short time before.

Women Who Have Important Tasks

BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER
BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER
Miss Ellen v. Bauskett.

The office of patent examiner is one
of considerable responsibility, as on
the correctness of decisions rest the
fortunes and sometimes the lives of
many men. The possession of a sin
gle patent may be the cause of the
rise or fall of a great corporation and
the making or breaking of the dreams
and hopes and work of years for the
inventor.
But not only is responsibility inher-
rent in the position; there is also the
need of a very wide and scientific
training on the part of the individual
examiner. Every one of them must
be able to fill a place in any of the
divisions, in the investigation of any
type of article, and when it is real
lied that that list includes every in
vention made in the United States it
will be seen what a tremendous range
is covered. Equal attention must be
given to a salt cellar or an airplane.
There is a small force of women en-
ployed among the men who are eN-
amining, and in this group Miss Ell
len V. BauSkett is the senior mem Der
She came to the Patent Office in 1890
from her home in Columbia, S. c., be
cause as she says, the only respect
able position for a woman there at
that time was teaching, and there
were so many applicants that you had
to wait for some one to die before
you could get place"
She was a graduate of the VIM
throp Normal School, in Columbia.
She had planned to be a linguist, and
had studied three languages-F'rench
Spanish and German. After short
time on the clerical staff, first in the
classification division and then In the
interference division. where investl-
cations are made into cases of two
or more inventors claiming the same
invention, she was sent into the sci
entific library, and her gift of
tongues" became of use. Here she
made translations from French. Span
ish. German, Russian, Portuguese,
Italian and the three Scandinavian
languages.
In the meantime, to meet the exam
ination required for the position of as
sitant patent examiner, she was study
ing at George Washington University,
taking the courses in chemistry and
engineering, with their associated sub
jects. toward the degree of B. S. In
