SUlTSPOl CHANGES
t
May Possibly Ha?e Influence on the
Unprecedented Kainfall.
A TALK WITfl PBOF. F. W. VERY
Is Productive of Interesting Information
on the Weather.
J1ESOLTS EXPECTED FEOH THE CAMERA
A -risit to the Allegheny Observatory and
a chat with the professors "who dwell
among the stars," is always prolific of new
information about that ot which man knows
eo little the world o'er head. One of these
trips was made by a Dispatch reporter
yesterday.
The Observatory was deserted. Sottly
knocking, then going inside, a stroll
through the workshop, the different libraries
and at last into the rotunda where the creat
telescope is situated failed to disclose the
men who flirt with the man in the moon.
Mr. Brashear had left his home lor the
city previous to the reporter's visit He
had been chasing the sun's spots with a
camera around the yard back of the bonse,
endeavoring to catch their likeness. He
was testing a new heliostat, or instrument
to make the sun's rays ttand still, according
to etymology. The instrument is beine
made for Prof. Simon Uewcomb, superin
tendent of the American EphemerU, a pub
lication issued from 'Washington Observ
atory.
CHASrS'G SUJTBEAMS ALSO.
Prof. F. "W. Vezy was also chasing sun
beams among theclo ver.but was at last caught
in his study rapt in thought and eschewing
the results of his observations. In achat
the professor gave some interesting facts
and food for a good deal of solid thinking.
The unprecedent rainfall came natur
ally to be the first topic broached.
Pro Very said, that continued
rainfalls in one location were often due to a
simple law of nature. The first rain, falling,
cools the lower atmosphere and the ground
underneath. If warm moist clouds from
the South float o'er this spot they are con
densed, and this process or rains lollowing
rains continues until some great upheaval
of the atmosphere drives the moist clouds
by and gives the location a chance to regain
its normal temperature.
This talk naturally led to the relation of
the weather to astronomy and the possibil
ity of its being foretold "by astronomical ob
servations. THE OSXT SCIENTIFIC THEOBY.
Prof. Very said that the only theory of
any scientific weight at all in regard to the
possibility of the planets affecting the
amount ot rainfall was, that the position of
large planets like Jupiter might have a
great influence on the changes in the spots
on the sun, and thus affect solar radiation,
and there was a possibilitv of a remote con
nection between these planetary positions
and the condition of the weather.
It has been found that the spots on the sun
produce the least heat and they, taken as a
key, may be subject to unknown causes and
surrounded by influences that control solar
radiation. The radiation, of course, con
trols the condition of the atmosphere and it
the weather.
These influences on the bun's spots and
they on radiation may be due to the posi
tion of the planets, and if so, by astronom
ical observation it would be possible in the
years to come to predict the weather by in
struments and observations. This would
only apply to the general changes over cer
tain large districts and local causes, such as
the condition of the soil, etc., which could
furnish the key to the calculations for each
point
THE CAXEBA MAX X0 IT.
The camera is looked forward to as a
source of untold surprises in this direction,
as it catches tbngs that the eye cannot com
prehend. It gathers the impressions of an
object as long as exposed, and with the ac
cumulation ot there impressions makes it
possible to catch much more than with the
naked eye, which gathers only one impres
sion. The Professor thinks the "Weather Bureau
should have more appropriation and be
given more scope. As he talked of the pos
sibility that astronomy and the weather
night be kindred subjects, he warmed up
end said that, though science had not yet
i reached any solution of the question, there
irere great possibilities,and no one could tell
what might be the result of continued re
search and astronomical inventions yet tobe
brought to light.
Xeavinz the subject of the weather, the
reporter spoke of the length of the days at
this season of the year and the Professor
disclosed many interesting things in regard
to them unknown to the massesT Last Fri
day was the longest day of the year, or the
time when the sun reached its most north
ern point Friday morning the sun rose at
4:29 A. H, and bet at 7:34 P. M., making the
day 15 hours and 5 minutes Ion?. The
length of the days will not change a minute
until about a week from lait Friday. In
September it changes about a minute a day
as the sun goes farther South.
A MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Coroner McDowell Invcstlrntes the Aban
doning of n Dend Infant Nothing of
Criminal Character In It.
The dead body of a child, which gave
promise ot developing a murder mystery,
was found on the New Brighton road, in
Allegheny, yesterday afternoon. The dis
covery, which was made by Officer Ken
nedy, caused the police authorities and Cor
oner McDowell a great deal ot work, but
turned out to be merely indiscretion on the
part of the father of the infant
The policeman when he found the body in
a pepper box lying in a ditch on the road
made an investigation and found that the
box had been thrown out of a buggy by a
man who had driven along the road a few
minutes before the box was found. He im
mediately secured a description of the rig
and telephoned it to the Mayor's office. De
tective Samuel McUJure started out at once
to look for the man and found him near
Woods' Kun. He placed the man under
arrest and drove to the Mayor's office with
him. On the way the man said his
name was William Hood, and that he
was a farmer living at DeHaven station on
the Pittsburg and Western Railroad. The
child, he said, was not alive when born, and
he intended to bury it in the Bellevue Cem
etery, bnt chanced his mind and threw it
into a ditch. He was about to return for
the body when he was arrested.
Detective McClure put the man in the
lockup and notified the Coroner, the child
having been sent to Lowry's undertaking
rooms. Last night, Chiet ot Police Kirsch
ler and Coroner McDowell investigated the
matter and found that the child had not
been alive and no crime had been com
mitted. The Coroner immediately ordered
the release of Hood, and instructed him to
bury the body as soon as possible.
The wife of Mr. Hood is seriously ilL
She called at the Mayor's office in Alle
gheny several days ago and entered snit
against a man who had threatened to knock
her brains out with an ax. Her husband
has been greatly worried over the affair, and
in speaking of his action last nicht-said he
could not account for it. He did not in
tend to do anything wiong, and after he
had thrown the box containing the body out
of his buggy he relented and started back
to get it Mr. Hood is well known on the
North Side, and it is said that he recently
inherited a fortune of $500,000.

A MYSTERIOUS WATCH.
Ita Work Deftly Concealed Beneath the
Stem A Puzzle How It la Operated-.
The Only One in Amerlcn.
Mr. I. E. Isaacs, of 419 Smithfield street,
is the possessor of a watch which is a nov
elty in that line. St Paul says that faith
without works is dead, but here is a watch
that hasn t anv works that anyone can see,
save the hands, and they point the time ac
curately; and, as a time keeper it certainly
isn't dead. In appearance it is a metallic
frame with a glass center, in which are two
hands which appear to have no connection
with anything except the glass.
On opening the border, however, very
complete, bnt minute machinery is seen at
the base of the stem, but still no connection
can be traced between the works and the
hands.
Some people have suggested that the
chain forms a circuit from a battery con
cealed in the Jregion of the small of the
wearer's back, and that the watch is oper
ated by electricity. One man gave it as his
opinion, after critical investigation, that
the watch was a device of the devil.
The curiosity is called the "Mysterious
Watch," and its value consists mainly in
its rarity, being, it is said, the onlv one in
the United States, which fact, like the
rarity of an old volume or a picture that
cannot be duplicated, makes value. It was
brought from Paris, and cost $50, and the
cost is certainly not in the case.
THE MOOT COUBT.
SUEPEISED BY FIEfi.
The Dress of n Young; Lady Ignited While
She Was Ont Walking;.
A peculiar accident happened on fifth
avenue, near Market street, about 230
o'clock yesterday atternoon. As a young
lady passed Market alley somebody threw a
lighted match which caught in the folds of
her blue ratine dress. The dress took fire
and instantlv blazed up above her head.
S. P. Boberts, of E. P. Boberts & Sons,
and two other men ran to the lady's assist
ance. They hastily laid her on the pave
ment and tramped ont the flames. Her
dress had the side burned out of it, but the
lady escaped injury. She went into Hugus
& Hacke's where her dress was fixed up.
She refused to give her name.
EXIGHTS OF ST. JOSEPH.
A Trial Held In the High Tower of the
Court Bonn Yesterday.
A novel and interesting meeting of the
Law Students' Association was held yester
day afternoon in the Court House. Owing
to their inability to obtain the regular meet
ing room, the stndents decided upon hold
ing Moot Court in the topmost room of the
tower. There they held one of the most in
teresting trials in the whole series.
The case was that of the Commonwealth
versus Doc. Harris. The defendant was
charged with embezzlement of 555,000 from
his former employes. The prosecuting at
torney was J. C. Carney. He was ably
assisted by Messrs. Goss and Amnion. The
defendant was represented bv the promising
young attorneys, Messrs. W. S. Ashworth,
James McKirdy and P. V. McMullen,
who, in a series of powerful and eloquent
speeches, succeeded in obtainingan acquittal
ot their client
The locaf organization of the Master
Plumbers' Association of the United States

programme of the Seventh Annual Conven
tion of the national organization, which
will be held in this city during the coming
week.
The meeting was held at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel, and Mr. Charles H. Hum
bert, President of the Pittsburg Master
Plumbers' Association, occupied the chair.
The programme is full of very interesting
details, showing that the plumbers not only
intend to accomplish agreatdealot business,
but that they also mean to enjoy themselves
and entertain the coming guests.
Over 300 delegates are expected to be
present, and they will be taken care of in
the different hotels. The Seventh Avenue
Hotel will be headquarters of the Natio nal
Association. A number of the delegates
will also bring their wives and friends
along, and the programme provides for the
proper entertainment of all of them.
EAELT AEBIVALS.
A good many are expected to arrive to
morrow, bnt the convention will not go info

be taken up.
The third day will be taken up by the
reading of papers on scientific and such sub
jects, bearing directly upon the plumbing
business. Then the election of officers will
also be taken up.
On the evening of the third day the local
organization will give a grand reception at
Old City Hall. At 8 o'clock all the mem

Old City Hall will be exquisitely decor
ated with the most choice selection of
floral beauties of the season and the refresh
ments are to be served by E. W. Hagen.
Mr. Charles H. Humbert, Chairman of
the Committee on Arrangements, said yes
terday that the local organization had done
everything to make this convention one of
the most brilliant and successful in the his
tory of the association. This will be the
first time the plumbers have held a conven
tion in this city, and Pittsburg was chiefly
singled out on account of the great indus
tries represented here, and also to study the
progress made in the plumbing business
during the advent of natural gas.

THE MILKY WAY.
The Grand Sight of the Sky Resembled In a
Grcnt Drycoods Store.
Here is the threshold of the Milky Way
was the idea which at once suggested itself
to anybody who stood at the entrance of
Fleishman's store yesterday, for never was
there such a mass of beautiful white dis
played before any human eve as in the win
dows, shelves and on the counters of Pitts
burg's favorite drygoods store.
It was the celebration of the triumph of
the white rose; the firm had arranged to
have a white opening in commemoration
of the victory, and there was no doubt of a
brilliant success. Breezes of fragrant air
were watted toward you as you walked along
through the rushing multitude of anxious
buyers. Tne smiling blossoms of the bril
liant water lily beamed upon the beholder
from immense vases. Pretty little girls
greeted you with gleeful laughter while
they tendered you an exquisite white rose
for your buttonhole. The white velvets, the
white silks and satins, the white scarfs.of all
textures and materials.the white laces which
floated from pillar to pillar like the white
crests of ocean waves, all this a scene of
pure whiteness lent to tne whole aspectof the
store a glimpse of heaven where all is white
and innocent
As the goods of whiteness from the
simplest article of muslin to the most ele
gant silk and lace work were handled by
nimble hands, packed away and carried off,
scenes from the "Arabian Nights" and the
wonderful Kiosks of Bagdad were vividly
recalled.
"What is this all about?" Mr. Fleishman
was asked at last.
"It is simply our usual monthly opening.
We have started the idea of changing it
from flower to flower as the year advances
and the months roll by. The people have
taken to the innovation very pleasantly,
and our floral openings are becoming as
elaborate as our establishment has grown
larger and more popular."

THE TRUE TAILOR SYSTEM
Is neither obstruse nor, theoretical, but
plain and simple, being learned by most
pupils in one day's time. A tailor's square
and tape measure is his outfit and should be
yours. So do not be deluded or persuaded
into buying or using a set of "graded
scales," charts, models or machines called
"tailor systems."
In regard to the claims of the so-called
"tailor systems" I will simply remark that
any method which does not use a tailor's
square and tane measure independent of
pieces of pasteboard or graded scales cannot
properly be called a tailor system.
