On tho top of a mountain of Virginia,
sixty mllea southwest of Washington
ah tho clouds drift, is Mount Weather,
nnd on Ilh pcnlc tho meteorological ex
port are at work perfecting a system
of Jong range weather forecasting so
thoro may bo fulfilled tho prophecy
mndo by Professor Willis h. Moore In
Now York that before long the stnto of
tho weather could bo foretold accur
ately a mouth In ndvnnco. Crop fore
casting will also bo taken up by the
weather bureau ns soon as tho weather
forecasts havo advanced satisfactorily.
The Importance of such foreknowledge
as will ennblo men to forecast tho har
vests cannot bo estimated.
Professor Mooro has spoken once;
nowvbe Is silent; but' silent thongh ho
bo to-day, It Is posslblo to give after
tho manner of a layman an account of
tho dolnga of tho men on Mount Weath
er wlwso minds aro filled with the hope
that they are about to seize tho secret
of tho sky and nun, and by correlating
them lenrn to know on what days It
will rain or snow nnd on what daj
there will bo calma or hurricanes.
Tlw obuorvors on Mount Weather aro
trying to fix tho law which governs the
varlutlons from timo to time of th,o
heat which comes to the earth's atmos
phorlc cnve!ojo from tho sun. It Is tho
FAMOUS FERRIS WHEEL.
Attraction of Tiro Great Exhibi
tion:) JVovr a Heap of Jsnk,
The famous Ferris wheel, which was
ono of the great attractions at tho
World's Fair at Chicago and again at
the St Louis Exhibition, was blown up
by dynamlto recently by tho wrecking
company which had purchased tho sal
vage upon tho fair grounds. The wheel
weighed 4,200 tons. It had an altitude
of nearly 200 feet and when built fif
teen years ago In Chicago cost $760,000.
It was built to ecllpso tho Eiffel Tower
at tho Paris Exposition, and was tho
marvel of tho world, moro than 0,000,
000 persons from cycry comer of tho
hnbltiiblo globo having been carried in
Its cant.
Many have boon tho deaths It has
caused among the workmen who have
labored In tho work of 6cttlng It up,
taking It down and re-crectlng It In the
several migrations It has had In Its fif
teen yoars of existence. Daring rides
havo been taken upon Its outer rim, on
lbs cross-rods or uion tho roofs of Its
cars whllo In motion by thoso who bad
no fear of altitudes.
Many couples lougliig for new thrills
In the marriage ceremony have elected
to bo Joined In wedlock In ono of Ita
cans whllo tho great wheel Mowly cir
cled In tho nlr. ,
Tho wheel mado money for Its con
ccBHtonalrcs at tho World's Columbian
ExDOBltlon at Chicago In 1802, and
after tho closo of that fair It was dls-
mantled and sot up In a summer gar
den In North Clark street In Chicago.
It did not provo so profitable an at
traction there, and before tho opening
of tho Bt Louis World's Fair It was
purchased for $200,000 and ro-crocted
on the exposition grounds.
At St Louis It nlso proved a money
makor, but after tho fair, although It
was atlll In good condition, It was de
cided that Its money getting days were
effect of the sun's heat on tho atmos
phere which governs tho weather. There
Is a periodicity of sun-spots, and sun
spots have a governing Influence, so It
Is that tho problem of tho spots Is
being studied Jn connection with pres
sure, density and volume In tho matter
of the varying heat
Tho theory In that If tho law of nil
tlieso things can once bo determined, an
ndvnnco can be mndo from mere sea
sonal predictions to actual diurnal fore
casts. There are. of course, local Influ
ences which may war against external
Influences, but with study it is believed
that the relations of tho two cnn be
ascertained, nnd that true prophecy
mor. WILMS l. Moortc
concerning weather conditions for all
sections of tho country can bo made.
Under authority of Congress tho sta
tion at Mount Weather, Virginia, was
established threo yenrs ago. It Is do
voted to meteorological research, and
the plant Is adapted especially to the
study of atmospheric conditions. Daily
on Mount Weather tho study continues,
and at Intervals kites and balloons aro
sent into the upper air with automatic
registering attachments for recording
conditions. Temperature, moisture and
air movements at great heights ure as
certained by means of these balloons
and kites ; the absorption of solar heat
by tho nsmosphere is measured and de
termination Is made of tho dissipation
of solar light and heat In addition
to this tho observers aro engaged In a
work which would seem to belong rath'
cr to tho field of poetry than to tho
field of science tho analyzing of the
sunbeams.
At Mount Weather, as Is learned
from a brief statement of tho Secretary
of Agriculture, the observers are study
ing "tho relations to tho atmosphere
of tho magnetism ef tho earth, the tem
perature of tho soli and even the mo
tions of tho earth. All these phenom
ena have been shown to havo more or
less Intimate connection with meteorol
ogy." As a part of tho system of experi
mentation which it lo hoped and bo
llovcd,for that matter will result In
making long-distance forecasting possi
ble, balloons aro liberated from time to
tlmo at many of the weather stations
In different parts of the country, the
balloon work being m connection with
that at Mount Weather. It Is consid
ered of tho utmost Importance that tho
condition of tho atmosphere abovo the
land to the greatest attainable heights
should bo known every day of the year,
especially In tho time of storms and of
Intense cold.
Two years ago Senator Bard of Cali
fornia introduced a bill in the Senate
authorizing tho treasurer of tho United
States to pay $160,000 In prizes to
prophets who could give evidence that
they were able to tell a month ahead
whether It was to be cold or hot of
whether It was to rain or snow, or to
bo as dry as tho bono of proverb. The
bill was eleven pages long, and to the
layman's eye tho whole tiling looked
like eleven pages of humor. It was
laughed out of the Senate Into a com
mittee room, and there It lies to-day.
BtTENS OF 8A2T FEANOISOO'S CITY HALL.
FEARFUL SCENE OF HAVOC BY EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE.
The most striking illustration of tho havoc caused by the great Pacific
const earthquake Is to be found in tho ruins of tho City Hull,, San Francisco.
Tho fire came along afterward and did much to destroy tho building, but
nevertheless, tho greater part of tho damngo resulted from the earthquake
Itself. The great central, tower, which Is seen hi the picture, was entirely
stripped of the stone and brick work, exposing the steel skeleton and spiral
stairway leading to tho dome. Tho street back of the City Hall was plied high
with shuttered columns and portions of tho upper structure. These columns
for tho most part were mndo of cast-Iron, jind tho hollow lnsldes were stuffed
with n mixture of mortar and broken bricks. Tho columns were of such
height that In. falling, portions of them landed on tho sidewalk on tho oppo
site side of the street The Corinthian capitals became separated from tho
columns In falling, and struck tho street with such forco as to become Im
bedded in the bitumen pavement
The City Hall cost nearly $7,000,000. During tho construction of tho
building, yenrs ago, there were stories that Inferior workmanship was done
upon It Whether or not this was true, the fact remains that the building
went to pieces In the shock, and tho bricks fell apart ns If held together by
sand Instead of cement and mortar. Tho entire building, which stretches over
nearly two blocks of ground, must bo torn down.

Grandfather's Cure for
Constipation
Tho Early Era.
In tho early days of Christianity
many styles of dating were In vogue,
and oras wore established with the an
nunciation, tho birth, tho transfigura
tion, tho ascension and other oventa in
tho history of Christ ns starting points.
A man's tendency Is to keop himself
cloan first, his houso second n wom
an's tondency Is to keep tho house
clean first and herself second.
REAT medicine, the Saw
buck. Two hours a day sawing
wood will keep anyone's
Bowels regular.
No need of pills, Cathartics, Castor
OH nor "Physic," if you'll only work tho
Sawbuck regularly.
Exercise Is Nature's Cure for Consti
pation and, Ten-Mile walk will do, If you
haven't got a wood pile.
But, If you will take your Exercise In
an Easy Chair, there's only one way to
do that, and make a Success of It.
Because, there's only one kind of
Artificial Exercise for the Bowels and Its
name Is "CASCARETS."
Cascarets are the only means to exer
cise the Bowel Muscles, without work.
They don't Purge, Gripe, nor "upset
your Stomach," because they don't act
like Cathartics.
They don'Mush out your Bowels and
Intestines with a costly waste of Dlgestlva
Juice, as Salts, Castor Oil, Calomel.
Jalap, or Aperient Waters, always do.
No, Cascarets strengthen and stimu
late the Bowel Muscles instead.
These are the Muscles that line tho
Food passages and that tighten up when ,
Food touches them, thu3 driving that
Food on to Its finish.
They are the Muscles that turn Food
Into Strength through Nutrition.
Well, a Cascaret acts on your Bowel
Muscles as If you had just Sawed a cord
of wood, or walked ten miles.-
That's why Cascarets are safe to take
continuously In health; and out of health.
Because they move the Food Naturally,
digesting it without waste of tomorrow's
Gastric Juice.
They thus work all the Nutrition out of
it before it decays.
The thin, flat, Ten Cent box Is made
to fit your Vest Pocket, or "My Lady's"
Purse.
Carry it constantly with ,you and take
a Cascaret whenever you suspect you
need one. ,
Thus you will ward off Appendicitis'
Constipation, Indigestion, and other
things besides.
