RHEUMATISM AND WEATHER
Vhy Wearr Homaa Joints Indicate
li and Down t the
Barometer.
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

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-

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.

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."
Oeorge Cohan Is credited with an unu
sual achievement In his latest output, "A
Yankee Prince." It Is said that from tht
fiiet 11 lui iimnce, about a week fcfcO, not a
line or a change has been found necessary
and the piece goes from the start Just as
tt was written and staged by the author.
This Is a unique accomplishment and it Is
doubtful It it wss ever done before wltb
a Viuslcal piece In this country.
