Officials Offer Four Reasons.
The following reasons are given by the
offlclala for believing that McGirr met hlB
death by the train:
'James McGirr had not been killed and
left on the track because
1. He waa alive when he vomited at the
nolnt where he appeared to have been
atruck by the train.
3. He was alive when struck by the
train and it was that which killed htm, be
cause of the position of the wounds and
the vast quantity of blood that 'escaped
from these wounds, particularly that In
the back of the head.
9. That none of the other Injuries on his
body had been Inflicted previous to this,
because they had not bled, there being
practically no blood on his body or limbs
nor any on hi clothes.
4. That Robert Culllaon, while return

STUDYING THE UPPER AIR
Experiments by Meteorologists
termlne Atmospheric t'ondltl
been
to De
Ions
at Mlara Altitudes.
Attention ha recently been directed to
an extensive series of experiments con
ducted at various spots on the surface of
the earth to determine by means of high
flying kites and so-called sounding bal
loons, the conditions of our atmosphere at
different distance from the earth. These
experiments may mean the beginning of
co-operation between meteorologists in
every part of the world In investigating
not only the stratum of air that blow over
the lowlands and sweep around the high
mountains, but the layers of atmosphere,
equally important to our comfort, which
dwindle out Into the "ether."
Observing at high altitudes Is not abso
lutely a new Idea, but within recent years
records have been obtained at heights
which not long ago would have been Judged
practically impossible.
Aided by a Hodgklns grant from the
Smithsonian Institution, Dr. A. Lawrence
Rotch, director of the Blue Hill Meteoro
logical observatory. Just outside of Boston,
by means of sounding balloons, haa several
times aecured records of temperature, pres
sure and air currents ten miles away from
the earth. Other investigators at Mount
Weather, Bluemont, Va., have succeeded
In obtaining similar records at equally high
altitudes and the results obtained may
furnish data valuable In dally weather fore
casting. In fact, the observation of air
current at higher altitudes may soon be
considered vitally necessary In correct
weather predictions.
The history of attempts to Invade this
atmospheric realm at a gerat distance
from the earth Is Interesting.

A woman went Into a grocery store at
Twenty-ninth and Cuming streets the other
day, ordered a Binall bill of grocoriea and
offered a 150 bill that looked good in pay
ment therefor. A girl, In temporary charge
of the store, could not make the change
and directed the purchaser to a nearby
drug store where she might get the bill
ctyinged. The woman was about to go
when Mis Clara Chase, 1018 North Twcn-ty-nlnth
street, who happened to be In the
store, volunteered to change the (50 bill
as a matter of accommodation. The stranpo
woman was very grateful and transferred
tho bill to Miss Chase or good coin of the
realm and went away with her purchases.
The bill looked a little Busplclous, but
being of the People's National bank of
Helena, Mont., and the strange woman as
suring Miss Chase It waa good, Miss Chase
accepted it as such.
Miss Chase subsequently undertook to as
certain the genuineness of the bill and
found it was of the wildcat species, and
consequently she la to0 wiser In experience
Aid of Police Invoked.
The aid of the police department was In

but ahe had dropped completely out of

but simply an obsolete bill, It does not

Dr. Lawrence Rotch not long ago wrote
for the Smithsonian institution the story
of high altitude Investigations in this coun
try. In speaking of researches Into the
upper air subsequent to those of Wilson
and Franklin, he says:
"About 1837 there existed In Philadelphia
an organisation called the Franklin Kite
club that flew kites for recreation. Espy,
the eminent meteorologist, was a member,
and he state that on those days when
columnar cloud form rapidly and numer
ously, th kite wa frequently carried up
ward almost perpendicularly by columns
of ascending air, a phenomenon which is
often observed today. Espy calculated the
height at which clouds should form by the
cooling of the air to Its dew point, and
then employed kites to verify his calcu
latlona of the heights of the clouds. Both
these methods are utilized In the measure
ments of cloud heights at Blue Hill.
"Kites were employed to get tempera
tures of 100 feet or more above the Arctic
ocean early In the nintecnth century, and
In 1847 Mr. W. R. Blrt of the Kew observ
atory In England flew a kite for the pur
pose of measuring temperature, humidity,
wind velocity, etc. In 1881 Mr. Douglas
Archibald in 'England revived the use of
kites for meteorological observations and
outlined a comprehensive scheme of ex
ploring the air with kites, which included
almost all that has been done since."
Dr. Rotch has this year traveled In
Europe, studying the methods and results
of foreign meteorologists. In October,
hoa-ever, he proposes making further re
searches, assisted by his first hand knowl
edge of what others are doing along the
same line.
Since the study of meteorology aa an or
ganised science in this country was prac
tically originated by the Smlthsontsn In
stitution through Its first secretary, Prof.
Joseph Henry, it haa been the policy cf
the institution to encourage researchea In
this direction. The present secretary,

further grant from the Hodgklns fund to

Taking; Care of a Piano.
A piano Is a delicate Instrument too
delicate to be subjected to any and every
sort of misuse which It undergoes In many
households. If comparatively new, do not
make the common mistake of keeping it
closed all the time when not In use. . as
this will hasten the discoloring of the
keys.
v Particularly to be avoided are extremes
of heat and cold, as well as dampnexs.
The piano should never be near a steam
radiator, hot air register or healer of any
sort, nor should It be placed against the
outside wall of the house. It will need
dUMtlng twice a day. If In a city house;
for this use an old, soft silk rag, rubbing
over the smooth, polished surface only in
one direction, and with absolutely no
pressure. Rubbing the keys with a piece
of muslin dipped in alcohol will keep them
clean.
Frequent tuning of I he piano la necessary
If it stands In a draft. The music room
should have preferably a hardwood floor,
with few rugs, and as free from thick
draperies and upholstery as practicable,
for these absorb the sound. There Is no
general rule for placing a piano In a room.

trial flly at the Foot of Lake
Mlchlann.
It I authoritatively announced that th
United State Steel corporation will Invest,
additionally, $4000,000 In the city of Gary.
To those who do not know that Gary I
a creation of that great steel corporation,
designed as a home for an immense steel
producing plant, tho foregoing sentence 1
not Intelligible. This city, which is a
consequenco of these works. Is built on a
large tra-t of land, on the shore of Lako
Michigan, in Indiana, across tho lake from
the city of Chicago. In the works men
by the tens of thousands are to be em
ployed. The city Is Intended to accommodate a
population of 800,000. Without Its building
there would not be sufficient accommoda
tions for the men employed In the works
and for their families. So, with the wave
of a wand, the magic of which Is abundant
capital, a great city is brought Into being.
Work was begun two years ago. Today
what was then nn arid sand plain bears a
large city. Broadway, the chief thorough
fare, has been constructed In Its length of
three miles. For two miles It now lins
pavements and sidewalks of concrete," and.,
for that distance Is lined by blocks of busi
ness buildings ready for -tho dealers. By
October 1, a sulllcU nt number of hous. a
will be completed In the residence district
to shelter 60,000 people. The sewage," gas,
electric and water systems are ready fur
use. And now, at this Btago of develop
ment, the corporation finds that if uiusl
appropriate $45.XXO0O more than Its first In
vestment of $70,0n0.000, to be used In widen
ing the scope of Its Steel plant.
There arc other communities of a popula
tion of 300,000 and larger, 4ndoed. But all
of them are of natural growth and de
velopment. Never before In the history
of city building has a city, even approaching
this population, sprung Into existence, as
It were, over night, as has Gary. When
It begins Its municipal life, It will do sn
on equal terms, In all Its equipment, with
those which have taken a hundred years In
which to grow. It Is, Indeed, the marvtl
of tho day.
It seems to be customary to call this a
model city. In the term Is suggested that
new and advanced theories of sociology
will be applied. There have been such cities
builded, and lullma:i Is a notable Instance.
Success has not uttendod them. There I
no Intention on thu part of the Steel Cor
poration to make the city of Gary a model
city in that sense. It will have a charter
as other cities have. A inunlclpol govern
ment will be establiahed as In other cities.
It will have Its own self-government, and It
must work out Its own destiny, as other
cities have as Steelton, In Pennsylvania, .
the home of the Pennsylvania Steel works,
which it resembles except In size, lias done.
A few years ago the mayor of Steelton was
a roller man In the worka. A majority of,
the directors of the various bunks vi re
employes of the mills. The property of
thu city was, in the main, possessed by
the employes. And they were all Inde
pendent of the steel works. These condition!
yel obtain. The expectancy of tho great
steel corporation Is that almjjar condition
will obtain In Gary. Thut corporation,
wanted great works at that point. Its ten
of thousands Lhal would be employed ni'ist
be. housed, with their families. Hence the
city of Gary. The corporation gives to It a
fair start, and will sell Its residential and
commerolul property willingly to those
who will buy. It doea not intend to aa
sume paternalism.
