THE WIND-CHANGING MACHINE VOL. 25. NO. 49. HERE is now nearing completion in the mountains of northern Virginia a weather forecasting outpost upon which the United States govh has expended thou HERE complete mounts ern VI ern for post urnment has lands of dollars during the past two years and which is unique in the world. This institution, known as the Mount Weather observatory is one of the most important and the government and when its new buildings are finished and its equipment fully installed this autumn so that the scientists can enter in earnest novel investigation is believed that the experiment station above the clouds will contribute more than any other factor to increased accuracy in weather forecasting. The new institution is very different from the ordinary weather observatory to be found in every one of our large cities, and it is even dissimilar in scope and function to the headquarters observatory of the weather office at Washington. However, the new observatory will, through the exploration of the upper air contribute greatly to accuracy in weather forecasting in general and will especially point the way to new development in what is known as long range forecasting. The project of this weather bureau station for upper air exploration is not a new one though the institution in its present guise, and particularly its home, now nearing completion, is comparatively recent inception. Some years scientists at various United States weather bureau offices and at the Blue Hill observatory near Rooster肚 up the study of the best methods for lifting soft-rocking instruments high above the earth's surface. Up to that time all human knowledge of the conditions of temperature, pressure, humidity, wind velocity and direction and other ingredients of the weather had been based upon observations made at or near the surface of the earth. Spurred by the necessity for a better knowledge of temperature and other conditions at great altitudes, the scientists of kites, and this was with ingenuous forms of kites, and this was with instrumented in 1904 by the use of specially designed balloons as vehicles for carrying the thermometers and other instruments to heights that could not be reached by any other means. Finally the United States took among the nations of the globe with a project for a special observatory designed for and devoted almost exclusively to aerial research. A piece of land was secured in an isolated part of the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia, and work was inaugurated on an establishment that is expected to do much to meet the future needs of meteorology and will play a most prominent part in ultimately enabling long-distance forecasting—the forecasting of a type of season than the more prophecies from day to day, such as are now given out, unfortunately however, the weather bureau was greatly retarded in new line of work by a disastrous fire which occurred at the newly established observatory on the morning of October 23, 1907, and which resulted in the total destruction of the main building, containing laboratories, offices, etc. The whole project for this upper air exploration station represents a scheme so new and untried that it was feared for a time that there might be a difficulty in obtaining the appropriations necessary for the rebuilding of the structures needed, but this did not materialize and now the officials are ready to take possession of a new home that is much more complex in every way than were the old quarters upon the buildings, at $10,000 has been expended upon the buildings, the lofty post—the one and only institution the weather bureau's 200 station in all parts of the country that is devoted especially to research work. Best of all, most of the new buildings are of the latest approved fireproof construction, so that the safe-keeping of the valuable instruments and the invaluable records to be obtained is well assured. The restored Mount Weather observatory occupies the same site as the old, namely the tract of 77 acres purchased by the government in the autumn of 1902. As has been said, it is in decidedly isolated locality, some 20 miles south of Harper's Ferry, and 47 miles in a direct line from Washington. Situated at an altitude of 500 feet above sea level on the very coast of the Blue Sea, the overlocks to the west the entire Shenandoah valley Strasburg to Harper's Ferry, while to the east all that portion of Pledmont, Virginia, between the Blue Ridge and the Bull Run mountains, is in full view. This extensive sweep of valleys, mountains and plains affords rare opportunities for the study of storms, but the construction of large buildings on this somewhat inaccessible site probably presented more puzzling problems for builders and contractors than any other governmental undertaking of the Kruger, Weather, as Jude Sam has christened his mountain, six miles from the nearest railroad station, that at Blumentown, Virginia. All the building material had to be transported to the observatory site by means of six and eight-horse freighting teams that found hard climbing on the steep mountain road that was specially constructed to give access to this outpost. Moreover, many other artisans who have gone from Washington to construct the new buildings had to content themselves with boarding places miles away from their scene of employment, for there are no habitations, other than those of the weather bureau officials, within some miles of the observatory. This isolation which, as may be surmised, has had its disadvantages is exactly what the government wanted for its observatory. There DOMATIC WEATHER OMATIC WEATHER RECORDING APP AUTOMATIC WEATHER RECORDING APPARATUS are a number of reasons for this. In the first place, the study of the upper air, demanding which it as done, the use of balloons, requires a locality with a high wind velocity—one where sometimes during each day there is a strong possibility of hail and of at least eight or ten miles per hour. It also calls for a location ten miles or more away from cities and electric light wires, since in a populous section loose wires falling down as the result of accidents to kites or balloons in a storm, would prove very troublesome, and even a source of danger. Besides, the surrounding country for 15 or 20 miles should be comparatively low so that lost kites and the costly instruments are readily recovered. Secondly, magnetic work is the most important character is a feature of the operation of this laboratory, and this requires a location remote from cities. Thirdly, solar investigations which are likewise included in the research work call for a place away from the smoke and dust of cities and above the haze of the valleys. Fourthly, the physical laboratory which is a part of the institution, must be free from the disturbing jets of heavy traffic. Added to all these specifications was the supple-mentary consideration that it was desirable have a very important part of the weather bureau's work in order as practicable to Washington, in order as central office may be as closely in touch with it as possible. The varied requirements made it no easy to find an ideal site for the new institution, but the domain finally discovered in the Old Dominion seems to have proven itself possessed of exceptional qualifications. One of the principal buildings in the group of new structures recently erected at Mount Weather is the physical laboratory. This is a three-story structure of stone construction throughout, and with immense pillars of solid concrete supporting the portico. The whole building is to be given over to scientific purposes.

ROSSER 29 AFFIXING DISCOVERY AFFIXING RECORDING INSTRUMENT TO KITE BEFORE FLIGHT ments and the invention and construction of all forms of apparatus will be conspicuous features. The third floor of this $20,000 building will be given over to spectroscopic work of the most important character. A short distance from this laboratory, building is a handsome and well-furnished type usually found in residential suburbs. Since the fire this has served as living quarters for practically the entire staff of Mount Weather, but when work at the observatory is on a permanent status it will be converted into a two-family residence for the use of a couple of families who will bring their families to the mountain top. The main observatory and administration building which will serve, in a sense as the keystone of the Mount Weather group, will cost $45,000 and is a three-story structure of fireproof construction. The first story is constructed of solid concrete, while the upper stories have a facing of brick, backed with terra cotta. Alike to all the buildings at Mount Weather the whole construction and especially the fittings of windows and doors has been planned with especial care in order to afford protection against the high winds that sweep over the mountain in winter. The first floor of the main building is to be given over to offices, while the second floor is to be used for the most part by living rooms for the scientists. Beyond the administration building in the most isolated part of the grounds are two buildings from which the visitor is barred if he carries a watch, or offers a disturbing influence of any kind. These frame structures constitute the magnetic observatory, and contain many delicate instruments. One of the most important acquisitions of this scientific community amid the mountains is a new central heating and power plant. The power house, of stone and concrete construction, cost with its equipment more than $15,000. It contains a 45 horse power engine, directly coupled to a 25 kw. generator which supplies the current for lighting and heating the buildings; operating the machinery in the laboratories; producing the hydrogen needed to inflate the air; making liquid air; and providing the greatest power to the ground around the wire that holds captive the kites and balloons that are sent aloft with recording instruments. The stone and frame building which served as a power house in the early days of the Mount Weather observatory is now used as a kite and balloon house, and is the headquarters of the five men who devote all their time to serial work under the general direction of William R. Blair, and with the supervision of Defective Page Prof. Alfred J. Henry of Washington, the executive officer in charge at Mount Weather. More than 25 kites are constantly kept on hand, including the models used by all the various foreign governments that have undertaken scientific kite flying. There have lately been added to the equipment several specially designed kites for use in the higher airs. Being brought into the. The ordinary kites will fly in any wind with a velocity of ten miles per hour, or more, but are not adapted to use when the wind exceeds 25 miles per hour. However, the new style emergency kite at Mount Weather, weighing eight pounds, and having a lifting surface of 58 feet, has made successful flights more than a mile in height when the wind was blowing a gale of 46 miles per hour. Balloons than kites are on hand, for the reason that balloons are used only when the wind is too light to permit of kite flying.

By this way records at elevations of from 30,000 to 50,000 feet will be obtained. On the kite and balloon field at Mount Weather is a reel house or circular tower mounted so as it can be rotated. Its double doors may thus be made to face in any direction and this facilitates kite flying, no matter what the direction of the wind. The interior of this revolving tower is largely given over to the three horse power electric motor and the monster reel of forged steel carrying the upon which the kites are flown. The terrace upon which the kites are flown served to break in on kite flying in high winds to drumrons with were installed one after another, at Mount Weather, and each of which gave way under the pull of 20,000 feet of wire, but now the kite flyers have installed a forged steel drum capable of carrying 50,000 feet of plano wire line, and believe that they are prepared for all emergencies.

Sugar, says this authority, is one universal flavors of foodstuffs known. One heirloom sweet tastes sweet or sweatish. About one-third tastes not more than one-tenth taste either bitter or sour. The experience of millions of years, reaching far beyond our arboreal ancestors, has taught us beyond possibility of forgetting that, while there are hundreds of food value and scores of this tasty bitter that not only have no food value but also poisonous, and thousands of things, like leaves and sawdust and coconut matting, which have no food value at all, there are comparatively few things that taste sweet which are have no food value at all.

DOOM FAMOUS DANCE HALL Beloved Bal Bullier in Paris Is to Be Replaced by a Modern Building. Paris.—There is mourning in the Latin quarter, for the beloved Bal Bullier will soon cease to exist. One by one the old landmarks of this famous quarter, the home of the students and the intellectual center of Paris, are disappearing. Old resorts are being obliterated to make room for the pretentious upstart, modern buildings that are now so apparent in this section of Paris, so dear to the the bal Bullier. hearts of the artists for generations past. Old mansions with quaint and charming facades, old houses which are surrounded by happy memories of once noted men, fragments of history all are quietly vanishing from sight under the stern hand of progress. The Bullier was above all others the ball of the students. Through its vast doors passed many generations. Grave and dignified doctors, famous lawyers, celebrated artists and inspired poets did not disdain to give themselves to the joyous entertainments of this dancing hall during their student days in Paris. The erratic and fastidious Whistler, Bouguer, Constant, Thackeray and endless numbers of men whose works are living monuments, have all participated in the gayettes that occurred weekly as the brilliant dancing hall, where the little grisettes, the saucy models and the dainty little sewing girls created an atmosphere of light-hearted beauty and effervescent youth—the period where dull care has no foothold. The Bal Bullier has outlived the famous little restaurant, the "Hole in the Wall," where these famous men, then unknown students, gathered for their evening repast. Then there was the other cafe on the Boulevard St. Michel, the "Boulief," in student parlance, that the place where Verlaine, the Bohemian abside the sitting at a table surrounded by boon companions and composing his masterpieces. The Bal Bullier was first called "Le Prado," and later "La Closerie des Lilas," and under these names is often spoken of in the romances of the 1850-60 period. It has outlived its rival establishments, such as the famous Valentino and Mabille. The invasion of English and American families in this sacred domain of the "Four Arts" scattered the Bohemian students. The long-haired, careless fellows, so numerous a few years ago, are now seldom seen. The picture esque is vanishing. The charm is giving way to commonplace, everyday life. LAST OF WAR GOVERNORS William Sprague of Rhode Island Is Sole Survivor of State Executives of '60s. Providence, R. I.—William Sprague of Rhode Island, by the death of ex-Gov. Frederick Holbrook of Vermont, has become the only survivor of the state governors upon whom fell the brunt of preparation for the civil war. Ex-Gov. Sprague was 79 years old September 12. Elected governor early In 1860, he answered President Lincoln's first call for troops with a regiment of 1,500 men and a battery, which were equipped at an outlay of $100,000 by the firm of A. W. Sprague & Co. He himself rode to the front at the head of the outfit at the first battle of Bull Run. The ex-governor married Miss Kate Chase, daughter of Lincoln's secretary of state, in November, 1863, but was subsequently divorced and remarried. In 1873 his firm failed for $17,000,000 with liabilities of $9,000,000. FINEST CATHEDRAL Scottish Rite Temple in Fort Wayne Is Dedicated. Masons of High Degree at Exercises Attending Opening of $200,000 Temple—Has a Fine Banquet Hall. Fort Wayne, Ind.—The new Scottish Rite cathedral in Fort Wayne, costing about $200,000, and said to be the finest in America, was dedicated on the evening of November 17 in the presence of visiting members of the order from most of the larger cities of the far east and the middle west. The dedication was preceded by a banquet, at which 1,000 plates were laid. The banquet-room of the cathedral fills the entire ground floor and is one of the largest and most ornate banquet halls in the west. Owing to the illness of Sovereign Grand Commander Samuel C. Lawrence, 33, of Boston, the master of ceremonies was Barton Smith of Toledo, 33, puissant lieutenant commander, assisted by John Corson Smith, 33, grand minister of state. William Geake, 33, of this city, commander-in-chief of the Fort Wayne Sovereign Consistory, assisted in the dedication. The dedication was held at the regular time of the fall meeting of the consistory for the Valley of Fort Wayne, and 300 took the Scottish Rite degrees. Degrees were given from the fourth to the Thirty-second. Heretofore this valley had no jurisdiction beyond the eighteenth degree, from 19 to 32 were conferred here for the consistory has already nearly 1,100 members, the Fort Wayne consistory has become one of the largest in the country. The cathedral, which was designed by Mahurin & Mahurin of Fort Wayne, is at Clinton and Washington streets, in the residence section, with the handsome First Presbyterian church across the street. It is built of Bedford stone on all sides and is thoroughly fireproof, being finished within with concrete floors, marble stairways and waitscoting, and iron. Front View of Cathedral. balustrades. Some rooms are finished in Cuban mahogany, but there is very little inflammable material anywhere. The heating is by steam and the lighting by electricity. The cathedral is three stories high with a spacious basement. The ground floor will be the banquet and ball rooms, with galleries. The social rooms are on the second floor, which is also provided with quarters for lares. There is also a room for the Mystic Shrine. The third floor is ooed with a mastery auditorium which is arranged historically with tiers of opera chairs rising stably, so that they in the rear seats can all see the work on the large floor below. There are seats for nearly 600 in this auditorium. The organ loft is to the north and at the south end there is a spacious stage provided with scenery, the work of a St. Louis firm. The proscenium arch is elaborate with the designs and emblems of the several degrees. The decorative develo- mentation were the work of a Chicago firm. The organ was made in Rock Island at a cost of $8,000. Left Parson with Victory. A west of England parson once refused to read the Athanasian creed. The parishioners complained to the bishop, who told the parson he must read it. Now it so happened that the creed may be "said or sung," so on the following Sunday the parson addressed his congregation thus: "Next we shall sing it, and, with heaven's leave, I will sing it. Now, clerk, mind what you are about." After this they both struck up and sang it with great glee to a fox-hunting tune, which, having previously been practiced, was well performed. The indignant parishioners sent word hot haste to the bishop about what had happened, but he said they had been sung, so the parishioners decided to dispense with it altogether in future.—London Opinion. Starch Fiends. A Pitsburg steam laundryman, employing over a hundred girls, says that his profits are slightly reduced by the starch eating habit that prevailed in and most other laundries. As coffee roasters chew coffee, so laundresses get a liking for starch. Cases have been known where girls have eaten three or four pounds a week. But the starch habit, unlike the habit of drugs or of alcohol, benefits the health. Starch laundries become plump and dust. Starch, all the time, costs money, and laundry fight against starch eating as passionately as teetotalers fight basiline beer. HAVE YOU READ THE APEAL?

Scoring the mal-address of the carpetbaggers and the biased tendencies of Northern teachers under whom Southern Negroes have been wrongly educated, Prof. John Wesley Gilbert of Augusta, Ga., implored the Arkansas Southern Methodist conference, which is in session at Morilton, Ark., to aid him in correcting these evils. Prof. Gilbert is a Negro, and is connected with Payne College in his home city. He said that the teachers sent down from the North know nothing of the real need of his race, and, that as a result, a false perspective was given his people and a misconception of their place in the body politic.—Associated Press Dispatch. The Reverened Gilbert's meaning is, of course, simply that Northern teachers inspired in the Afro-American a J. B. H. FAVORS EQUALITY OF CITIZENSHIP. Senator Cullom of Illinois Tells the Appeal Representative That He Still Stands Firm Against the Disfranchisement of the Afro-American. In a recent interview it was made equality of civil rights and citizenship to appear that Senator Shelby M. Cullom, Illinois' Senior Senator and grand old man, favored disfranchising the Afro-American in the South, but the Senator explains that his remarks have been misrepresented. To a representative of THE APPEAL, Senator Cullom declared that he does not believe in disfranchising the race and insists that the Afro-American on an spirit of manhood which led him to aspire to higher and better things. This unfortunate tendency Rev. Gilbert is laboring to reform and to make the Afro-American perfectly resigned to become simply a hewer of wood and a drawer of water for the Caucasians. more infirm at thirty others are at fifty. So the question of efficiency cannot be decided by simple consideration of age, but by the physical and mental condition. WHITE SLAVERY. Rev. Gilbert would make the Afro-American more humble than Uriah Heap, just as he was in the times of slavery, perfectly willing to accept the white man as massa. THE APPEAL is fearful that this attempt to Rev. Gilbert to reform the race is a little too late to effect that purpose. Senator Stone seems to be laboring along the same line of policy by swaiting the waiter who is not sufficiently expeditious in bringing his steak. He sees in the dilatory movements of the waiter, the awful effects of the teachings of Northern white teachers, abolitionists and rampetengers. Those eminent statesmen, Tillman and Vardaman have already called the attention of the country to the same subject. In the opinion of THE APPEAL, Rev. (?) Gilbert is a flunky who deserves the contempt of every self-respecting Afro-American. THE EFFICIENCY OF AGED CLERKS. As to the comparative value of old and young clerks, the report of Secretary MacVeagh's efficiency committee was to the effect that many of the old clerks of the Treasury Department are among the most efficient of the establishment, making up through accuracy and experience any lessened usefulness that might result from a decreased output of work. This is in precise accordance with many other facts having a bearing upon that subject. While there have been many wonderful instances of precocity upon the part of young men, yet it is a known fact that much of the choicest literature is the work of very old men. And so in all departments of human endeavor, the old veteran holds such a prominent place that his services cannot be dispensed with. Recently, while witnessing the performance of one of the finest musical bands in the world, we noticed specially that the majority of the performers were grayhaired and bald-headed. In fact the efficiency of any set of men cannot be judged by the ages of the individuals, since many men are [Name] M. B.

He said that he did not favor the curtailment of any of the political and civil rights of the Afro-American.

So the question of efficiency cannot be decided by simple consideration of age, but by the physical and mental condition. WHITE SLAVERY An underground railroad, by which white slaves are spirited away from St. Louis and brought under cover into Chicago, as elaborate as any by which black slaves ever were brought into the North during civil war times, has been unearthed by former State's Attorney Clifford G. Roe. We should like to see some of the ante-bellum Southern clergy who used to show from the Bible that slavery was an institution existing by special design of the Almighty, apply their arguments to this new phase of the subject. They would be specially applicable and could be used with scarcely one change of thought. We regard it as their imperative duty, and, besides it would pay as the other did in days of yore. As the Afro-American was forced by circumstances to entertain correct views respecting slavery, he may be relied upon to do all in his power to help throttle the hideous old monster. THE APPEAL would be delighted to learn of some Afro-American who was enabled to render his white brother efficient service in the matter of putting an end to this atrocious traffic. SIX OF ONE; HALF-DOZEN OF OTHER. Ex-Senator Money of Mississippi recently said: "No man is disfranchised by the constitution of Mississippi, but a majority of the Negroes have disfranchised themselves through their failure to meet the requirement that all taxes must be paid two years previous to registration." It is doubtless a fact that a great many of the Afro-Americans of Mississippi have not the intelligence necessary to know the value of the right of suffrage and it is not surprising that they disfranchise themselves. The white brother, however, in more enlightened communities than Mississippi often does the same thing and will not take the trouble to go to the polls, except under the impulse of great excitement. For instance, the present drolapor condition of things in Chicago has been brought about in great part by thousands of good citizens disfranchising themselves.

Dr. Eliot's "new religion" is nothing new, being simply the old blatant infidelity of Celsus and Porphyry, Voltaire, Rousseau and Tom Payne. It may be summed up thus: No heaven, no hell, no miracles, no saints, no prayer, no immortality, no divinity of Christ, no God's image in man, no value in the sacraments, no nothing. The Doctor says that his new religion will have nothing supernatural about it. but a child can see that it is supernatural nonsensical. The Doctor is a most pronounced infidel and shows upon every occasion; for instance, when he recommends Byron's Manifred and Shelley's Beatrice CeCnci, both of which are chock full of the most revolting immorality. They are both as unclean as Manon Lescault or Rousseau's Confessions. Under a proper construction of the law, neither Manifred or Beatrice Cenci is transmissible through the mails. Anent the subject of vagrancy in the South, the New Orleans Times-Democrat remarks: "In Georgia a law was framed aimed at those Negroes, and apparently it reached them at first. All other Southern states followed in the footsteps of Georgia, and splendid results were promised from this legislation. It was expected to furnish a much more abundant supply of labor during the busy farm season of the year; to put an end to the drain of a large idle class, doing nothing and providing nothing and to reduce the depreciation and other petty crimes of the idle Negroes. "But for some reason or other the law has never worked as it was expected to do, but has dropped into a state of desuetude. It is admitted by all that it is a good law and that it is constitutional; it was built on practical lines, and has been tested and found fit." If the Southern states will ever have the good sense to pass laws aimed at vagrants and loafers of all classes, they will, probably not fall into "a state of desuetude," but there will be a fair probability of their enforcement. A law aimed at "those Negroes" is a fraud upon its face and ought to fail.

Among the prominent members was Superintendent of the Illinois Central, Mr. Dow, who declared: "The question of substituting women waiters for Afro-Americans had been taken up at former meetings of the association, but it was decided that women would be unable to do the work satisfactorily. The Lake Shore road and others employed white men instead of Afro-Americans, for a while, but all returned to the original system." congratulate himself over the fact of his re-election, but the knowledge that his majority was cut from 60,000 to 8,000 will prevent him from feeling very jubilant. The death of William T. Harris deprives the United States of a most distinguished and enlightened educator. As such Mr. Harris received great honor both at home and in Europe. This may seem a very unimportant incident, but it is one of great significance, since it refers to the matter of gaining a living. It is the testimony of the railroads of the country to the established fact that in certain lines of industry, the Afro-American has no rival. The New York Tribune highly commends Representative Ransdell of Louisiana for preaching the gospel of diversified farming to his constituents, but adds: "An indictment of southern agricultural methods when uttered by southern lips is not likely to be either welcome or effective, but the appeal of the same plain truths when preached by a southerner is clearly shown by the commendation which Mr. Ransdell's remarks have received in the press of his section." The remark is much less true than it would have been if made twenty years ago, but the fact is that the Southern people are rapidly breaking away from their Chinese-like conservatism and are beginning to suspect that somebody can teach them something. So they are quite cordial in --- welcoming experts who can teach them methods of circumventing the boll-weevil and for producing better crops. In respect to everything except politics, the South is becoming quite teachable. During the last decade, the number of persons killed from walking on railroad tracks mount up to about 50,000. This is an appalling fact, but the blame does not entirely rest, where we are inclined to put it, upon the railroad officers. It is due in great measure to the carelessness of the people who suffer and to the absence of good roads. The track is, in thousands of instances, the best or most available road between points. We were once in a city where, on a certain occasion, the track was the only possible road from our stopping place to the depot. So thousands of people continue to walk the track, despite the fact that it is a punishable trespass. But the law is never enforced, and the thing, killing included, goes on. --- The hookworm is monopolizing, at present, as much attention as the Cook-Peary and Jackson-Jeffries controversies. Some of the Southern brethren are quite indigent at Mr. Rockefeller for his donation to fight the monster, but then it doesn't take much to make them indignant, and nobody gets excited when the southern brethren get on a rampage. But if the danger from the worm is as gerat as is asserted by the medical men and is a menace to the other parts of the country it must be fought no matter how much Dixie rages. For an Afro-American to get justice from the courts of the South in any case in which he is opposed to a white man is the rarest of occurrences in that section. That the poor man and the rich one do not stand on the same footing before the courts is true all over the world, but in the South conditions are worse than anywhere else. The scheme of the Virginia lily-whites to gain political power by going back upon the Afro-American voters, like other best-laid plans, went decidedly agley and the state went the same old way. Gov. Draper of Massachusetts can ```markdown ``` congratulate himself over the fact of his re-election, but the knowledge that his majority was cut from 60,000 to 8,000 will prevent him from feeling very jubilant. The death of William T. Harris deprives the United States of a most distinguished and enlightened educator. As such Mr. Harris received great honor both at-home and in Europe. LOBSTERS THAT BORE WELLS Are a Boon to Australian Colonists, According to Story Told by the Traveler. "Lobsters dispel drought in Australia." The speaker extracted with his silver pick a delicate morsel from the huge scarlet claw. "Australian colonists, at the height of a drought," he said, "often find their dried springs miraculously flowing again. Fresh-water lobsters work that miracle. "In every creek and spring, you see, there are large lobster settlements. If these lobsters fail to find moisture, they perish. Hence, when their streams dry up, they follow the water down into the earth. They dig, dig, dig—just like our Panama canal workers—and in the end their strong claws pierce through the soft clay covering of some hidden spring, and a rill of sweet, fresh water bubbles up." He lighted a cigarette and gazed through the open window at the moonlit sea. "Some thousands of lobster artesian well borers, working away frantically like that, day and night," he said, "are bound to discover enough springs to break any reasonable drought."—Los Angeles Times. ```markdown ``` An unsectarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

One of the very pleasant and enjoyable social functions of the week was the celebration of the Twentieth Anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E.

The house which was beautifully decorated for the occasion, was crowded between the hours of 8 and 11 by their many friends, who had come to wish them many more years of wedded bliss. There were the recipients of a large number of beautiful, valuable and useful gifts. Light refreshments were served. CRISPUS ATTUCKS CHARITY BALL The officers, managers and Trustees of Crispus Attucks Orphanage and Old Folks' Home, and the charitable public generally, are highly elated over the success of the third annual entertainment and ball which was given for the benefit of that institution last Monday evening at Hiwatha Temple. This success was due as much to the indefatigable efforts of these officers, managers and trustees as it was to the generous public with whom they have labored for several weeks. The crowd was slow gathering, but it got there just the same and midnight found the hall packed with one of the largest, most representative and handsomely dressed crowds one could wish to see. The regular fixed program was not carried out owing to the lateness of the gathering, but the addresses by Mr. W. T. Frances, Mr. F. D. Parker and Rev. H. S. Graves and the music by the orchestra made all forget and forgive those did not hear and they had just that much more time for dancing to the delightful music of Mme Hale-McCullough's orchestra. A very excellent supper had been prepared and pales and when the hungry crowd of over two hundred swooped down upon it just after the grand march up San Juan Hill, led by Prof. A. C. Irwin, they soon were enabled to say "We have met the enemy and he is ours." As is usual in all such cases, there are some folks who work without showing their hands just as there was in this instance, but those who deserve special mention for work that could not be hid are: TRUSTEES AND MANAGERS.

It probably has been the privilege of most of us to listen to that most noted of celebrated Grand Operas, Lucia De Lammermore, by the great master Senor Donzette, and to have our very hearts swayed in the soul inspiring harmony Italia has infused to Scottish poetry. Yet it is for us who attended the charity concert and ball last Tuesday evening to know that we, if a darker race, are to infuse a new phase, a new era in God's great gift; music the language of the soul by the rare gift in the rich beautiful color and velvet character of the Negro voice. Those who attended and heard the quintette render the sextette, the inspiring climax of Lucia, can enthusiastically say, it was the greatest exhibition of our more advanced musical students, ever witnessed in the Northwest. The masterful interpretation and delicate shading of difficult and many voiced Lucia was a revelation THE MUSICAL "THE MUSICAL" to the most optimistic, showing a complete understanding of the composer's intention. Miss Harriet Loomis, as Lucia, the deceived, excelled all previous efforts. Her beautiful and highly cultured voice responded most easily to the great requirements of the higher registers. Mr. Claude Jackson, our promising and rapidly developing tenor, surprised his closest adherents in the character of "Edgar" his operatic tenor showed to great advantage. Mr. J. H. Hiekman, Jr., St. Paul's cultured harpings, added new laurels to his already enviable reputation. His "Henry" was portrayed in a thoughtful manner. Mr. A. L. Hedge, our sweetvoiced lyric tenor, carried the character of "Arthur" in a most creditable manner. Mr. A. J. French as "Bede the Priest" did all that was required of the deep bass "Chaplain," and in all respects it was an inspiration to every one as to what the immediate future may bring to our people in the musical world.

LADIES' UNITED CHARITIES CHARITY BALL. Tuesday evening, Dec. 30, Hawaia Temple was the scene of the second notable gathering of the week in the name of sweet charity, and to one who had been present at the ball the night before it was hard to realize that such a magnificent crowd could be mustered up the next night. There was an element of newness that doubtless had somewhat to do with its success as it was the first annual affair of the Ladies of the United Charities, and it was so satisfactory all around that there is a little doubt that it will not become a fixed event in the social calendar of the Twin Cities for the immediate future. As this was the first effort of the ladies and was also a sort of new departure the public was on the quivive to see how it would come out. And to say that the ladies—Heaven bless them!—have covered themselves with glory is putting it mildly. For some unaccountable reason the people of the Twin Citys have gotten into the unfortunate bad habit of reaching public entertainments LATE. And that's what they did Tuesday night. An excellent program had been arranged, but owing to the late-night it was cut short and consisted of an overture by the Hale-McCullough orchestra, an excellent and timely address by Rev. A. H. Leatad, a fine mandolin solo by Mr. Kenneth Hamilton, a superb address by Mr. F. L. McGhee, a charming solo by Mr. Claude Jackson, a splendid selection by the Tuxedo Quintette, composed of Miss Hattie Loomis and Messrs. A. J. French, J. H. Hickman, A. Hedge and L. Jackson, and as a fitting finale a soulless soprano solo by the Saint's superior songstress, Mme Adile-Crawford Minor. And, then, the ladies had an opportunity to show their magnificent gowns to good effect as they promenaded or tripped the light fantastic too—and there were some gowns there, too, and some lovely ladies in them. Seldom, if ever, has a handsomer, more handsomely habited crowd of ladies and gentlemen graced that handsome hall. To use a common slang expression, "They were there with the goods." There was no regular supper, but to cream, cake and punch were served. Everybody had a delightful time and can be counted on to attend next year if possible. The splendid success of the affair is due to the support and co-operation of the following: Officers. Mrs. J. E. Cloak. President. Mrs. J. A. Vass, 1st Vice-President, Mrs. Allen French, 2nd Vice-President. Mrs. S. E. Hall, Secretary. Mrs. B. R. Durant, Treasurer. **Committee of Arrangements.** Mesdames, L. M. Terrill, M. Weber, E. W.

CARD OF THANKS By Order of Committee One of the most auspicious events St. Paul society has enjoyed for many years was the first annual Concert and Ball given by the "United Charities," composed of many of St. Paul's representative women. To say it was a grand success is speaking mildly, and the committee of arrangemeats with Mrs. J. E. Cloak as chairman, wishes to tender its sincere thanks to all who assisted in anyway, and wish to especially thank the young people for their generous patronage to a cause that is well worthy of attention, and to those taking part on the program we wish to tender our most grateful compliments, and in the language of Rev. Leadat: "In assisting charity, there is always a return to you." The "United Charities" are cheered to hope that their "Annual" will become the largest and most successful society event of each coming year.
