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

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.

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.”

domestic life of the itonspartes was

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

Milwaukee livening Wisconsin: A
slung phrase of some forty five or fifty
years ago was embodied in (be question
of "Who atruek Hilly Patterson?" 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.

h little boy. He grew up without see
ing ft school-house or ft church, and
' at twenty was married to the daughter
| at a guide who lived several miles die
J tai.t. This girl Smith saw but ft dozen
I times before be proposed to her, and
Ifthc was taken to the home of Smith's
II arents. But the mother-in-law made
1 trouble, and the newly-wedded pair
v.ere invited to seek other quarters.
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.
