Prof. Cot of the Chicago weather bureau not only furnishes the community with forecast of the weather, but teaches people how to be forecasters themselves, on very modest scale. When he was aked recently for an explanation of the fanjillar fact that rheumatic Joints and other feeble por tions of the body ached when rain was approaching he gave the phllpsophy of this xperlenre and made out the human body aort of barometer. Bis theory Is explained lni part In Trot. Garriott's book on meteorology, which con tains the following passage; 'As the normal pressure, or weight, of the atmosphere is about one ton to every square foot of surface at the level of the sea. and a change of one Inch In the mer curial coluraa ot the barometer means a Changs In pressure of about seventy pounds to every square foot of surface, decided changes An pressure must exert a marked irrftuenoe upon the body and Us functions. A change in the barometer of one Inch In twenty-four hours Is not uncommon In many portions ot the United States, and hi. rhanve In the barometer causes a change of about ooie-half ton In the weight f the atmosDhera that la sustained by the average human body. It is not difficult. therefore, to Imaaine that the physical or , - m ' r .. i . Maw h. n b) 1 1 . to ganisni ui ... these changes and that tt has become an Inherited Instinct to associate the) sensa tions experienced under different atmos pheric pressures with the kind of weather they Indicate. The organisation of diseased and delicate human bodies and of many kinds of animals Is extremely sensitive to unospherio changes, aad aches, pains and nervousness in humans and restless be havior on the part of animals, birds and la sects may, Ha a measure, be attributed to low, rapidly decreasing atmospheric pres sure that precedes and attends stoma periods." Tho. blood and other fluids of the tody, jrJf cox says, contain a considerable amount of air, and this air expand la pro portion as the sxterft! atmospheric pres sure on the btSdy Is reduced. In a time of low barometer this produces an internal pressure sgalnst the nerves, and wherever the nerves are already Inflamed there Is pain. - This pain, therefore, is a sign of low barometer, but not always of rain, as pre cipitation la governed by many influences.

MAN IS N0T SO MUCH Beside Other Animate He Seems Weak nnd Ineffective With Ills ' Brains -Fv the aid of mechanical Instruments, the products of his bralnt man can sweep along a prepared track at 120 miles an hour or gl!Je over the surface of the sea at about forty miles. He can also build towers nearly 200 times as high aa him self or burrow Into the cruat of the earth to a depth equal to about 7C0 times his own height. But strip a man of his machine-made instruments, weapons and clothes and the lord of creation la a poor thing at best. An spewelghing sixty pounds Is far more than a match alnglehanded for alt unarmed man of three times hi weight. Take a men's powers of running. His bes( speed for a mile is four minutes twej-e and three-qunrter seconds, which wonks out at about fourteen miles an hour. That common beast of prey, the gray wolf, lopes along at an easy twenty and thinks nothing of covering sixty miles In a night. The hunted fox has been timed to run two miles at a speed af twenty-six miles an hour. A rare horse at full speed travels thirty-two miles, while a grey hound, which is, so far as known, the swiftest of all four-lagged animals, runs at thirty-four miles. In Jumping we are equally behindhand. Roughly speaking, six feet In height and twenty-three In width are the limit of man's achievements. A, red deer has been known to clear a wall ten feet high, the chamois eaa do at leaat a foot higher, while as for the springbok of ' the South African veldt this creature will shoot tea let I up in the air just for tn fun of the thing. Some of the beasts of, prey are even more wonderful In their athletic per formance. The black Jaguar, for Instance, can reach a brancn fourteen feet from the ground. The greatest Jumper on earth Is the kangaroo. The sort known as ths "old man" has been seen to clear dead wood fences ten to twelve feet high, while it can leap with esse a width of fifty to sixty feet. . The record width cleared by a horse is about thirty-seven feet, while the ostrich, In running, clears twenty-five feet at a stride. The athletic achievements of fish are very wonderful. To see a salmon leap up a perpendicular fall five or six feet high Is a most ordinary sight. Many of the predatory fishes can travel at the speed of a torpedo boat. The writer has stood in the bow of a steamer traveling at four teen knot and watched a shoal of por poUes gliding along under ths cutwater. Every now and then, arpnrrntly for the sake of exercise, one of trem would break away from the rest and make a complete circuit of the moving steamer as quickly and easly as though the ship were stand ing still. Even if a man perfects a flying machine tt will be a very long time before he can hope to rival the feats of the birds. A dosen diffen-nt birds have been credited with speeds of sixty miles and hour and more, but It is only lately that definite erperiment has proved that the swallow Is far swifter than the Wild duck or carrier pigeon. A hen swallow was taken from Its nest In an Antwerp railway ststlon and sent in a basket by express to Com. plegne, a. distance ot lv miles. There, at 7:V In the morning, she was llbeiated. At t IS the bird was seen to arrive at her nest. Work this out and you will find that the tiny creatura traveled at tho rate ot U$ feet a second equal to 129 miles an hour. At this rate It would take a swallow only half a day to fly from Bel glum to North Africa, , In the matter of muscular strength man is not quite so far behind the rest of ths animal world, for trained athletes have achieved wonderful feats of lining. Btlll where would you find a man who eould run up a - mountain side carrying two others as heavy as himself. A rrtsxly bear has . been seen to carry a bullock twice his own weight up an Incline of one In thres.-Baltlmors eun Phenomenon Unnsnallr Well Marked on the Bis; Bridge a 4. t. Louts. The people of St. Louis think they know all about their famous bridge, and are ready to discuss any phase of the bridge question at a moment's notice, but very few of them know of the most curious and Interesting fact, connected with the structure that the rails as well as the trains move across the bridge. The rails travel slowly from one end of ths bridge to the other, pushed forward by the trains that pass over them, and are fed Into the track at one end and taken out at the other at the rate ot nearly CO feet per month. A rail laid in the westbound tracks at East St. Louis crosses the river In two years and seven months and reaches the Washington Avenue station in good con dition, while one laid In the eastbound track at the end of the bridge also crosses the river and slips through the "creeper" on the Illinois side In the same length ot time- They travel at the rate of twenty- Ideal food for children. W..EAT FLAKE CELERY makes the children plump tnd strong tnd prevents sour stom ach and constipation. The best food for growing children, in valids and the aged. Fo a! bv anil Grocers two Inches in twenty-four hours, and eighty-one and a third rails pass over the structure every year, counting uoth lines of rails on both tracks. This phenomenon Is caused by the un dulation of the track produced by the al ternate rise and fall of the rails which the distance between the trucks of a train occasions, augmented by the natural sway of the bridge. The ttack Is depressed at the point of contact with the wheel and rises as soon as the wheel has passed over, and the natural elasticity of the rails is acted on by ths forward motion of the train, creating a wave motion which carries the rails forward with the train. The exceptionally elastic construction of the bridge, which permits vibration from the motion of the trains and the wind at the same time, gives an added Impetus to the wave motion of the rails and sends them forward faster than they would otherwise so- It Is hard to understand how a rail that Is securely spiked and bolted to the road bed can move at all without tearing the track up with it, and the statement that the entire line of rails advances over the ties, moving wILh the train at the rate ot from forty to fifty feet per month, accord ing to the amount ot traffic, while the ties remain stationary, gives rise to the request to be "shown." The "showing" is easily done, for one needs only to go to the Washington Avenue station to see, the relief rails on the west bound track and the feed rails on ths eastbound track, and find courteous officials who will explain the phenomenon of the creeping rails and the device by which the dangerous peculiarity I ov.iooo,. Engineers who visit 8t. Louis never fail tqsee the "creepers" In use on the Eads bridge, and the device Is cele brated outside of St. Louis. The device Is as simple as It Is ingenious, and Is the Invention of Chief Engineer P. Jf. Pfelfer of the Terminal association. It consists of two relief rails and two feed rails on the forward and rear ends, respec tively, of tho tracks, laid alongside the main rails at ths point where the bridge proper Join ths approach. These relief and feed rails are a continuation of the bridge main rails, and curve slightly to the outside of the line rail. They Join the wedge-shaped ends of the approach rails at the aids In a position resembling ths frog of a switch,, and the wheels of the trains pass smoothly over the Joints at the same time that they push the bridge-line rails past the Joints. The Joints are kept well lubricated to prevent friction, which might be dangerous even with ths slow motion of the rails. Both feed and relief rails are secured to the ties Just as the main rails are held, and a distance of thirty-five feet, or three feet more than the length of a rail. Is allowed in front of the relief rsll at the forward end of the track to guard against sny emergency. The rails are fed In and taken out at the rate of about one rail every three weeks, and Joints and bolts are inspected every twelve hours. St. Louis Republic.

HUGE WAS THEJjALL OF TARA Description of Anelent Palace Blade Famous by Tout Moore's Poem. The name of this ancient palace is fa miliar to everybody through the well known poem of Thomas Moore, beginning: The harp that once through Tara's halls The soul of music shed. Now hang as mute on Tara's walls As if that soul were fled. Tara is a hll in Ireland made famous as the Sits ot the palace of the ancient king of that country. It was here that St. Pat rick began his great apostolate by preach ing to King Learr In 432. The site was abandoned Irt 5fi6 on account of a curse pronounced against the reigning king by St. Ruadhan. In the library of Trinity college, Dublin, there is preserved the fragment of an an cient Irish manusdrlpt which contains a description of the banqueting half of Tamar, or Tara, which is very curious. It states that "the palace of Tamara was formerly the seat of Coon of the hundred battles: It was the seat of Art, and of Calrbre Llf feacher and Charter Mor, and of every king who ruled In Tamar to the tlma of Nalll." In the reign of Carmac the palace ot Tamar was 900 feet square; the diameter of the surrounding rath, seven din, or casts of a daft. It contained 150 apartments, 154 dormitories or sleeping rooms for guards, and sixty men in each. The height was twenty-seven cubits. There were 150 com mon drinking horns, twelve porches, twelve doors, and 1,000 guests dally, besides princes, or atora,and men of science, en gravers of gold and stiver, carvers, model ers and nobles. The eating hall had "twelve stalls, of divisions In each wing, with tables snd pas sages round them; sixteen attendants on each side, eight to the astrologers, histor ians and secretaries. In the rear of tha hall. and two to each table at the door; IOC guests In all. Two oxen, two sheep, and two hogs at each meal divided equally to each side." We are also Informed that the quantities of meat and butter daily consumed hare surpass all description. There were twenty-seven kitchens and nine cisterns for washing hands and feet, a ceremony not dispensed with from the highest' to tha lowest. Punxsutawney (Pa.) Spirit. A Yankee Prince."
