be lined for blocks with teams hitched to the
curbing. Uotween those two linos will lien

reason for this stntoof things One man snys
it Is liecnuso horses nre cheaper hcrothiin enst

Who caii tell?
Did you notlco it! Tlmt new overcoat

atony in the east anil came back with Soni
moiiH from his Now Yotk trip. It requires
courngo to dress in the topx'ty-tlp of metro
politan style, hut Hemmons has to do it in his
business.
It Is the Inalienable right of a free Ameri
can fitiren to loaf if he cnu nttord It but
the privilege of choosing an idling place is
rather more circumscribed. Lincoln has its
full ipiotn of lonfcrs, and they seem to have
selected the north side of O street between
Tenth uml Kleventh os their trystlng place.
The corner at Zieiner'x ticket olllce might
well have been called the Loafer's Haen, and
Indies passing to and from the po-tolllee
have been compelled to run a gauntlet ol to
bacco Juice and profanity, not to mention
worse things. The authorities have at last
wakened to the fact that that sort of thing
was a nuisance, and the policeman on that
bent hns been quite faithful this week in
making the loafers "move on." At least that
was true of the II, & 31. corner, but the Union
l'acitlc corner hits lxs?n worse than ever.
Why, It Is so bud along that Mntcli ol stieet

There niny be more heinous crimes thnn

The cards rend 7:.'t0 p: in., the expectation of

must have know n tlmt the hostess wns plan

The result wns that thirty or moro persons

Imagined. This kind of thoughtlesuess or ig

The CoriUKIl's attention has liecu called to it
several times with rixpiests to "write mi urti
cle on it." Tlio mutter Is hurdly lmKrtunt
enough for n phllllplc, unil u brief statement
of the cuso is sufllclent.
Among the newspaper eorresjxnidents nt
DesMoines two years ago, reporting the Iown
legislature, wa3Ir. W. F. Foster of the Hurl
ington hicAtji'. Hu hud been known for
some time us the Iowa weather prophet, but
the correspondents had no time that session to
mike weather Investigations. Ilye-ti.e-llyo
met Foster again the other ilny ut Omaha,
where ho bus been writing editorials for the
It.jiiiblicdn, and in an interesting tnlk guth
ered an Inkling of souiu of his ideas. Foster
ridicules thu idea that the sun is a molten
muss nf matter sending us light and heat He I
miiintuit s that space is colder thnn un icebox
mid the heut of tlio sun, if theie were such a
thlng.couldliot be transmitted tliP ugh it .Tlie
higher one goes upon u mountain the colder
he llmU It, uml valleys an ulw nj s the w iirniest
plucui. Foster's theory- ami many other
scieulists hold to It is that the heut and light
which vve suppose come direct from the sun
nre electricity, which is transformed into
heat and light by tho resistance nt our at
mosphere. He lieHove that all the planets
throw olT electricity, which Mils space. He
thinks storms are caused by elect i leal dis
turbances. The orbits of tlio planets are not
on tho sumo plamj, so that they cross each
other's tracks Whenever one planet crosses
tho equator of another there is mi electrical
disturbance, according to tho Foster theory,
resulting in the distill banco Of the earth's ut-
Unisphere, nunc or less sov ere. depending on
the sire of the planets, their positions and
their distance from tl'ecai th. lly forecasting
these usugos mid estimating their cttoet
Foster makes his weather picillctmns.
Foster talks with much posltiveness of his
theories, but it Is with the calmness of mi
earnest ninu rather thnn the liMpiaclous as
surnnce of a crank Ho claims to have mi
tlclpntisl the recent terrible tornadoes In a
prediction made last December. "Hut the
trouble Is," he says, "tlm pupcrs nml the pco.
pie will talk mine nhimt one failure than a
doen successes." Foster Is full of curious
theories curious liecmise wholly at odds
with accepted theories and he hns a leadj
answer for objections when urged, lie has
lectin ed ,0(10 times on his weather theories,
hut Is tired of it and prefoisnewspaiier wink.
Ills oillee room is full of chaits, drawings
and astronomical apparatus. I'nllko the
crank we am familiar with he is not eternally
iHiring people with his hobby. His talk of
the other ilny was the llrst explanation of his
work that ho had made since coming to Omn
lia. That surely Is n crcdltnblu distinction
over the average hobby ride.
You hnvo doubtless heard farmers mid
others tnlk about the cll'ect of the changes of
tlio moon on crops Foster has discovered that
between certain lines of lnttitudo there is
an aerial disturbance moving from west to
enst that brinks out every live uml eighth
tenth days. This corresiondn so nearly with
the changes of the moon that he thinks it may
have given rise to thv ixipulur notion that the
moon liasan cM'cct on the spioutingof seed.
Among the regular and most interesting
features of the Ciil'ltlKH If the weeklv letter

Hye-the Uye llrst met .Mr. Wellmaii, several

He was an industrious woikcrnn, I found time

Two ladles weie discussing the subject of

a landlady. Tholxmrderiiskcd: "What is the

qileutly end by tho girl offering to do the
work for them just to get them out of tho

table salt, or camphor. It stems to mo there's
