TIPS OR THE WEATHER
Scheme For Posting Accurate
Data For All In Streets.
OFFICIAL BOOTHS TO BE USED
Kiosks Containing Most Improved Typo
of Weather Recording Instruments
Will Bo Placed by the Weather Bu
reau In Centora of All the Larger
American Cities.
"Old rrobs" purposes to court popu
larity by bringing his records and pre
dictions down to the street level and
giving the loiterers in City Hall park,
New York, and similar places all over
the United States direct u% ial Intel
ligence of the state of the atmosphere,
Its warmth and density and its prob
able disturbances, says a Washington
correspondent of the New York Trib
une.
Professor Willis L. Moore, chief of
the United States weather bureau, has
perfected plans to set up kiosks con
taining thermometers, barometers and
weather recording Instruments of the
most improved and accurate type In
the centers of all the larger cities, In
the crowded business districts and in
the pnrks chleily frequented. It has
long been the habit of most persons to
reject the figures of the weather bu
reau during particularly hot or cold
seasons because Its thermometers are
placed on high, breezy buildings or
protected from the biting blizzards of
the street levels. Thermometers of un
certain scientific value which are af
fected by soda fountain sales at drug
stores and other business places have
been readily taken as the criterion of
heat and cold, with the result that the
masses do not realize the value of ac
curate figures and have to get their
ideas of temperature through unrelia
ble sources.
In order that this may be obviated
as much as possible the weather bu
reau will erect small kiosks, in which
the best thermometers, both stationary
and recording, will be protected from
the sun's rays and exposed to the pub
lic. There will also be constantly on
exhibition a standard barometer,
which will enable people to possess an
intelligent Idea of atmospheric condi
tions for themselves. Besides these in
struments, weather maps and such
data as are of popular information will
be displayed on the sides of the booths
and will be kept up to the minute by
boys on bicycles.
The booths, or boxes, will be built so
as not to exceed two feet square and
six or eight feet high and with a view
to making them as sightly and as deco
rative as possible. They will be made
to conform as much as possible to the
surroundings with the idea of making
them as familiar articles to the public
as the mail boxes or fire alarm sta
tions.
The weather bureau has a general
appropriation which will cover the ex
pense of establishing a limited number
of these kiosks, which, according to the
present plans, will be distributed
among the larger cities and in those
districts where such instruments are
likely to be most appreciated. In order
that ample protection may lie afforded
the delicate and expensive instruments
they will be combined with the letter
boxes, so that the same police regula
tions which govern the United States
mails will restrict any injury or dis
figurement of the booths or instru
ments. It is expected that after the
booths have been established laws will
be enacted which will insure further
protection to the property.
If the plan is greeted with the popu
lar interest which is expected. It is
probable that the weather kiosks will
lie established all over the United
States.
GOLDEN RULE JUDGE.
Toledo Jurist Has Flags, Plants and
Mottoes In His Courtroom.
Judge Austin, who recently took
charge of the police court in Toledo.
0., lias adopted the Golden l!ule plan
for dispensing justice, says a Toledo
dispatch to the New York Sun.
His first move in preparing for his
new duties was to have mottoes placed
on the walls of the courtroom. Fur
ther touches of adornment were to be
added by the installation of a large
American flag and palms and other
plants.
Over the bench Is the motto "Do
unto others as you would have others
do unto you." Other mottoes on the
walls are "A wrong confessed Is half
redressed," "Men may rise on stepping
stones of their dead selves to higher
things," "Honor and shame from no
condition rise; act well your part--
there all the honor lies."
These mottoeß are intended to have
a puidlng influence upon prisoners, at
torneys, court attaches and juries.
Judge Austin will bar all minors and
loafers from the courtroom. He has
been dabbed the Golden Itule Judge.
Arizona's New Seal.
The terr'«ory of Arizona has ac
quired a new great seal, says a I'henix
correspondent of the Los Angeles
Times. The old seal was adjudged
out of date, its design being about as
stiff as the decorations on the tombs
of the pharaohs. In accordance with
the legislative act establishing it, it
contained w hat purported to be a rep
resentation of the San Francisco moun
tains, a pine tree, a cactus and a deer.
These features are Included in the new
seal also, but they are far more life
like and more true to nature. The de
signer is Warren E. Itolllns, an artist
who has siient much time In Arizona
painting the Grand canyon and in
studying Indian types.
Worse and Worst.
A convict In a German prison hud

One morning the governor said to the

"Then give him a cooker} book to

FEATHERED ANGLERS.
How the Great Heron Stabs Fish With
Its Lancelike Bill.
While the kingfisher feeds by day,
the great heron begins his fishing at
dusk just as the stars peep forth.
When 1 am about to make the last few
casts and stop fishing In a trout pool
I hear the loud whiz of Ills vast stretch
of wings passing close by, flying low
to a favorite shallow part of the river,
and down drop his long legs, and he
lettles right down to business, motion
less as a stone. Sometimes for half an
hour not a feather moves.
He watches with unwearied patience
When he does strike it is as quick and
as sure as fate, for the flrst luckless
fish that approaches within ills reach
is seized with surprising dexterity.
Like the kingfisher, the heron beats to
death those fish of larger size, swallow
ing them whole, headforemost, such
being their uniform positions when
found in the stomach. He will then
at once assume the same attitude of
silent watchfulness, and the finny tribe,
though frightened at his first dash
among them, return again in a short
Interval only to be transfixed with his
long lance shaped bill.
Hornaday's "Natural History" says:
"When a heron is fishing it stalks slow
ly and silently along the shore, prefer
ably In water about six inches deep,
Its head carried well forward, but
nbout on a level with its shoulders,
while its big eyes keenly scrutinize ev
ery object in the water. It takes long
steps and plants each foot softly in the
true still hunter fashion to avoid
alarming its ganre. When a lish is
found within range the kinks of the
neck fly straight and the fish is seized
between the mandibles. The fish is
not stabbed through and through."
This latter statement Is only correct
when small fish are taken. I have it
on expert • authority that herons re
peatedly stab large trout up to two
pounds in weigiit, making a hole in
the back large enough to insert the
thumb.—Louis lihead In Recreation.
THOUGHT HIM A SPY.
An English Official's Narrow Escape
In France in 1870.
The thrilling adventure which befell
Captain Haworth, one of Queen Vic
toria's messengers, vividly Illustrates
the perils of the diplomatic service
when a member of that corps is
traversing a country where the storm
and stress of war is raging.
It was during the Franco-German
war, and Captain Ilaworth was on his
way home charged with dispatches
from the English ambassador, then at
Tours. He got as far as the town of
I.e Mans, when something suggested
to the excited townsfolk the idea that
lie was a Prussian spy.
lie was arrested, carried before the
juge de paix and 'required to give an
account of himself. He explained that
he was in the service of the British
government and produced his creden
tials. He was then asked to show the
contents of the little bag which, as he
affirmed, contained his official dis
patches. Tills he absolutely refused
to do, though he showed them the gov
ernment label and seal.
His refusal was thought suspicious,
and he was plainly told that unless he
could produce some more satisfactory
evidence lie must be prepared to die.
The unlucky messenger was actually
led away for execution and was saved
only by some little glimmering of com
mon sense in the captain of the guard
he was committed to.
This officer remonstrated with his
prisoner on the folly of refusing to
satisfy the court by submitting his pa
pers to their inspection. Captain Ila
worth told him that their bullets should
go through that bag and his breast at
the same time and that then they
would have to reckon with the British
government. The officer seemed to be
impressed and sent him back to the
authorities. After further parley the
Englishman was ordered to clear out
of the town with all speed, an order
which he did his best to comply with.
Cruel of the Judge.
A man was recently being tried for
tnnrder, but the evidence against him
was so weak that the Judge directed
the jury to find a verdict of "Not
guilty" Rnd notified the court of his
intention to stop the case. But the
youthful counsel for the defense want
ed the opportunity of becoming fa
mous. He asked permission to address
the court. "Certainly, Mr. Cantspout,"
remarked the Judge. "We'll hear you
with pleasure, but first, for safety's
sake, we'll acquit the prisoner."
The learned counsel blushed.—Lon
