ORRCASTI NO great atorm* by mean* of balloon* to the lateat acbeme of adence to en able the weather bureau to make Its promisee good. I'rof. W. L. Moore, the new chief of the bureau, will have the experi ments In charge. To a correspondent be *a!d: "W* know that a thunder atorm baa Its inception away In the upper region*, and begin* there sometime* before w# feel It here, and we know bow to pre dict It, but a* to the great atorma of five hundred or a thousand mile* in diameter, the main forces that sane* them may begin to operate there a long lime before we feel them down here. Our hlgb-slr exploration* are going to b# for tbe purpose of clearing up that much mooted question, and determin ing whether the*e great storm* origin ate there, and to determine also wheth er or not we can *e« the rery Incep tion of tbe atorm by tbia upper-air route and foretell It* corning some three day* before It arrive*. "Our experiment* will Ire along a line that baa heretofore been considered Im practicable, because there have been no oelloone created up to the present time that will carry our Instruments up to the height we want to go. We orooose to no somewhere between three nnil fir* miles, and we cannot use the balloon* or kite* a* they are now con structed for the reason that when made captive they will not remain for a suf ficient length of time In the air, but will fall to the earth. "Hut I have some Ideas by which I think we can erect, an air ship a sort, of combination between a balloon and a kite, combining the principles of troth —that will not only carry our Instru ments to tbo height we desire, but which will remain there for a sufficient length of time, although made captive. "We will have to have something that will be forced up into the air the tame as a kite Is, and yet a kite will not answer the purpose, for It is a bard thing to force a kite Into the air much over 1,600 feet. In this air ship, or whatever It may be called, we will place our Instruments, which will be automatic. Wo have yet to perfect some of the instruments, although I am MM 44 will l,« ■linpUt enouah, and the Outcome nrnmfiuM 4* 4»» r*«M#..i enough to pay us to make the effort. Our object will lie to Improve the man ner of making the predictions, so that a greater accuracy can be obtained. "In tho bat twenty-live “years wc have been able to almost reach the acme of forecasting, as can lie seen from our forecast*. We can even make better forecasts with our forces at work In the air. If wc are able to reach the upper air region* we can now make charts to show the condition of the at mosphere at the earth's surface-we can make charts to show the condition of the air at some place two or three miles high. If the experiments appear to be of no value, we will drop them and stop the exp -nse. i uu nuv nnuw i.iiui wb win w auw 10 forecast by that moans, and I am not •anguine, but we will strive to do so. 1 am now simply working In that direc tion. There is always a great deal of most valuable property lost by storms of great magnitude ,and If we are able to foretell such a storm two or three days In. advance of Its coming, It will give the people ample time to prepare for it. If we can And a way by which we will be able to read the air In the upper regions, we can forecast such storms.” I)»rne«lle I.if# of the Pint t'onaul. Much of the same policy was still displayed In the official receptions held in the Tullerles. In the Arst place, the domestic life of the itonspartes was carefully accented by tbs presence or Ku Arst consul's wife and sisters with sir families.

The same standards of con jugal Adelity ware to bs supposed valid In the Arst family of tbo land as In those of ths masses. Then, too, there was displayed a genial familiarity, sometimes even brusque and rude, like that prevalent among the middle class - the good fellowship which they ad mired above every other quality.

This was for a long time a famous phrase In America, It wua used on almoit every occasion, and on wo occasion but was accepted as something funny, The origin of this phrase la known, and It la a» follows: About fifty years ago to one of our nodical colleges (probably In New York state) the students had a trick of hazing every new man who en tered the institution nothing new in college life, however. They would tie him hind and foot, and carry biro be fore a mock tribunal, and there try him tor no me high crlroo with which they charged him. He would he convicted, i of course, and sentenced to be led to j the block and decapitated. A student named William Patterson came along In time and was put through the court ' and sente,need In the same solemn and ■ impressive manner. He wa* blindfold : ed and led to the block and bis neck ! placed In position. The executioner 1 swung his axe and hurl'd It Into tb< block, allowing It, to be xure, to go no where near Patterson's bead. The stu dents laughed when the trick was at an end, but Patterson was dead. He bad died from what medical men call “shock/' All the students concerned In the hazing were put under arrest, | and the question on the matter of sup posed assault came up: “Who struck Hilly Patterson?" On the trial It was shown that nobody struck him, but tbe medical students retained the Impres sion, and It soon took Its pace as a slang phrase, and held it, too, for a long long time. lamiri Urntnl In the came year, ISIS, be Kent forth bIko “The Vision of Blr Launfal," bis firet attempt at telling a story In veree.

Braitb used to say, "Liz was a good j Kiri and a noble wife, but just as soon as mother thought Liz wanted to run 1 the whole Oregon plains, there was trouble." With a dollar and a half Smith bought a pie" of land farther back In the woods, cut away some of the timber and erected a log cabin that sheltered him from the cold blasts of forty-five Northern winters. He hunted, and frappod, and fish'd, and was happy. And he was still happier when a boy and two girls arrived, to bring sun shine Into the home. But the happi ness did not last, for within six years the young wife died, and the children were sent away to friends. Then Bill Smith determined to spend the remainder of his days alone, except for the company of his dogs. "My dogs ore the most faithful friends I have," be used to say in recent years; "they are always v/ltb me, and have never de serted me, though my children have long since turned up their noses at the bid man and don’t care whether he is iallve or dead," ; After bis wife's death, the hermit learned to read, and each day he spent rsveral hours studying the Bible.
