A. ISSUED BY THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS COMPANY [Copyright. 11X)5, by The Chicago Daily News Co.] PREFACE. Much history of importance was made in 1905. On the very first day of the year Port Arthur fell after one of the most sangui- nary sieges on record. Then followed the battle of Mukden, un- paralleled for time consumed, length of lines, number of men engaged and casualties. To cap the climax the navy, and with it the sea power, of Russia was almost annihilated by Admiral Togo in the battle of the Sea of Japan. This virtually put an end to a war remarkable alike for the gigantic scale on which it was conducted and for the results achieved. The place of Russia as the predominating power in a large part of the far east was taken by Japan and new lines had to be drawn by the map-makers of the world. The fact that the president of the United States was instrumental in bringing about peace was also of great historical significance. Another development of far-reaching importance was the prog- ress made toward the substitution of a constitutional for an auto- cratic form of government in Russia. The struggle for liberty was continued throughout the whole year and was attended by scenes of bloodshed and destruction that shocked the civilized world. Still another event of international importance was the dissolu tion of the union under one king of Norway and Sweden. Each nation is now independent of the other, having its own king, cabi- net and representatives in foreign countries. Concerning these and many other happenings of 1905 the facts will be found briefly recorded in the following pages. An effort has been made to confine the narrative to such data as may be most frequently needed for reference and it is with that end in view that the chronology has been made as complete and accurate as pos- sible under the circumstances. While foreign affairs have necessarily received much attention, those of the United States have not been neglected. Even more than the usual amount of space has been given to the statistical, political, educational and other affairs of the nation. The same may be said of matters more directly concerning the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago. The Chicago Daily News Almanac and Year-Book for 1906 is therefore offered with the hope that it will be found a useful and reliable book of reference for men and women in all parts of the country.

The weather bureau of the United States department of agriculture publishes daily more than 100,000 weather bulletins, not counting the forecasts in the newspapers. Most of these bulletins are in the form of postal cards printed by postmasters from telegraphic reports and sent by them to outlying towns for display at suitable points. There is also an elaborate system of No 1. White flag. redistribution by means of telephones and railroads from established centers, so that there are comparatively few accessible places which do not now receive daily weather forecasts within a very short time after the observers have completed their work. The old system of conveying informa- tion about the weather by means of flag displays is also in general use. EXPLANATION OF WEATHER FLAGS. No. 2. No. 3. No. 4. No. 5. Blue flag. White and blue Black triangu- White flag with black flag. lar flag. square in center. Clear or fair weather. BLUE I Rain or snow. Local rain or snow. Temperature. Cold wave. When No. 4 is placed above No. 1, 2 or 3 it indicates warmer; when below, colder; when not displayed, the temperature is expected to remain about stationary. During the late spring and early fall the cold-wave flag is also used to indicate anticipated frosts. EXPLANATION OF STORM-WARNING FLAGS. Northwest winds. Southwest winds. Northeast winds. Southeast winds. "Hurricane 7 ' signal. A red flag with a black center indicates that a storm of marked violence is expected. The pennants displayed with the flags indicate the direction of the wind: Red, easterly (from northeast to south); white, westerly (from southwest to north). The pennant above the flag indicate? that the wind is expected to blow from the northerly quadrants; below, from south- erly quaurants. By night a red light indicates easterly winds and a white light above a red light westerly ids. Two red flags, with black centers, displayed one above the other indicate the expected approach of tropical hurricanes, and also of those extremely severe 'and dangerous storms which occasionally move across the lakes and northern Atlantic coast.

[Condensed from Rules of Practice in the United States patent office.] A patent may be obtained by any person who has invented or discovered any new and useful art, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, or any new and use- ful improvement thereof not previously patented or described in this or any other country, or more than two years prior to liis application, unless the same is proved to have been abandoned. A patent may also be obtained for any new design for a manufacture, bust, statue, alto-relievo or t>as-relief; for the printing of woolen, silk or other fabrics: for any new impression, ornament, pattern, print or picture to be placed on or woven into any article of manufacture; and for any new, useful and original shape or configuration of any article of manufacture, upon payment of fees and taking the other necessary steps. Applications for patents must be in writ- ing, in the English language and signed by the inventor if alive. The application must nclude the first fee of $15, a petition, speci- fication and oath, and drawings, model or specimen when required. The petition must be addressed to the commissioner of patents and must give the name and full address of the applicant, must designate by title the invention sought to be patented, must contain a reference to the specification for a full disclosure of such invention and must be signed by the applicant. The specification must contain the follow- ng in the order named: Name and resi- dence of the applicant with title of inven- tion: a general statement of the oblect and nature of the invention; a brief description of the several views of the drawings (if the invention admits of such illustration); a detailed description; claim or claims; sig- nature of inventor and signatures of two witnesses. Claims for a machine and its product and claims for a machine and the process in the performance of which the machine is used must be presented in separate applications, but claims for a proc- ess and its product may be presented in the same application. The applicant, if the Inventor, must make oath or affirmation that he believes himself to be the first inventor or discoverer of that which he seeks to have patented. The oath or affirmation must also state of what country he is a citizen and where he re- sides. In every original application the ap- plicant must swear or affirm that the In- vention has not been patented to himself or to others with his knowledge or con- sent in this or any foreign country lor more than two years prior to his application, or on an application for a patent filed in any foreign country by himself or his legal rep- resentatives or assigns more than seven months prior to his application. If appli- cation has been made in any foreign coun- try full and explicit details must be given. The oath or affirmation may be made be- fore any one who is authorized by the laws of his country to administer oaths. Drawings must be on white paper with India mk and the sheets must be exactly 10x15 inches in size with a margin of one inch. They must show all details clearly and without the use of superfluous lines. Applications for reissues must state why the original patent Is believed to be de- fective and tell precisely how the errors were made. These applications must be ac- companied by the original patent and an offer to surrender the same; or, if the original be lost, by an affidavit to that ef- fect and certified copy of the patent. Ev- ery applicant whose claims have been twice rejected for the same reasons may appeal from the primary examiners to the exam- iners in chief upon the payment of a fee of $10. The duration of patents Is for seventeen years except in the case of design patents, which may be for three 'and a half, seven or fourteen years as the inventor may elect. Caveats or notices given to the patent office of claims to inventions to prevent the issue of patents to other persons upon the same invention, without notice to the caveators, may be filed upon the payment of a fee of $10. Caveats must contain the same information as applications for pat- ents.

Yeamina tions These are conducted by boards of examiners chosen from among persons in government employ and are held twice a year in all the states and terri- tories at convenient places. In Illinois, for example, they are usually held at Cairo, Chicago and Peoria. The dates are announced through the newspapers or by other means. They can always be learned by applying to the commission or to the nearest postoffiee or custom house. Those who desire to take examination are ad- vised to write to the commission in Wash- ington for the "Manual of Examinations," which is sent free to all applicants. It is revised semiannually to Jan. 1 and July 1. The January edition contains a schedule of the spring examinations and the July edition contains a schedule of the fall ex- aminations. Full information is given as to the methods and rules governing exam- inations, manner of making application, qualifications required, regulations for rat- ing examination papers, certification for and chances of appointment, and as far as possible it outlines the scope of the differ- ent subjects of general and technical ex- aminations. These are practical in char- acter and are designed to test the relative capacity and fitness to discharge the duties to be performed. It is necessary to obtain Civil-service r.ct approved Jan. 16, 1883. an average percentage of 70 to be eligibl for appointment, except that applicants entitled to preference because of honorable discharge from the military or naval serv ice for disability resulting from wounds o sickness incurred in the line of duty neet obtain but 65 per cent. The period of eligi bility is one year. Qualifications of Applicants No person wil be examined who is not a citizen of th< ' United States; who is not within the ag< limitations prescribed; who is physicallj disqualified for the service which he seeks who has been guilty of criminal, infamous dishonest or disgraceful conduct; wh< has been dismissed from the public serv ice for delinquency and misconduct or ha: failed to receive absolute appointmen after probation; who is addicted to th< habitual use of intoxicating liquors to ex cess, or who has made a false statement in his application. The age limitations li the more important branches of the public service are: Postoffiee, 18 to 45 years rural letter carriers, 17 to 55: internal rev enue, 21 years and over; railway mail, 11 to 35; lighthouse, 18 to 50; life saving, l! to 45; general departmental, 20 and OTer These age limitations are subject to change by the commission. They do not applj to applicants of the preferred class. Ap plicants for the position of railway mai clerk must be at least 5 feet 6 inches IE height, exclusive of boots or shoes, and weigh not less than 135 pounds in ordinary clothing and have no physical defects. Ap plicants for certain other positions have t< come up to similar physical requirements Method of Appointment Whenever a va- cancy exists the appointing officer makes requisition upon the civil-service commis- sion for a certification of names to fill the vacancy, specifying the kind of position vacant, the sex desired and the salary. The commission thereupon takes from the proper register of eligibles the names of the three persons standing highest of the sex called for and certifies them to the ap pointing officer, who is required to make the selection. He may choose any one of the three names, returning the other two 'to the register to await further certification. The time of examination is not considered, as the highest in average percentage on the register must be certified first. If after a probationary period of six months the name of the appointee is continued on the roll of the department in which he serves the appointment is considered absolute. Removals No person can be removed from a competitive position except for such cause as will promote the efficiency of the public service and for reasons given in writing. No examination of witnesses nor any trial shall be required except in the discretion of the officer making the re- moval. Salaries Entrance to the departmental serv- ice is usually in the lowest grades, the higher grades being generally filled by pro- motion. The usual entrance grade is about $900. but the applicant may be appointed at $840, $760 or even $600.

The national holidays, such as July 4, New Year's, etc., are such by general cus- tom and observance and not because of congressional legislation. Congress has passed no laws establishing holidays for the whole country. It has made Labor day a holiday in the District of Columbia, but the law la of no effect elsewhere.

NOTE Only nicknames that ars well known and "state flowers" officially adopted or com- monly accepted are given in the foregoing list DEATH OF SECRETARY JOHN HAY, John Hay, secretary of state, died sud- denly early Saturday morning, July 1, 1905, at his summer residence at Newbury, N. H. He had been ill for several months and had recently returned from a trip to Europe with bis health apparently restored. His breakdown was caused by overwork in tbe state department, especially in connec- tion with developments growing out of the Russo-Japanese war and the Venezuelan trouble. At Bad Neuheim in Germany he was treated by Prof. Groedel, an eminent specialist, and when he left there he was hopeful of complete recovery, even up to the day before he died. He was buried in Lakeview cemetery, Cleveland, O., July 5. Only his family, President Roosevelt and members of the McKinley cabinet were present. STATISTICS OF POPULATION. STATISTICS OF POPULATION.

The center of population is the center of gravity of the population of the country, each individual being assumed to have the same weight. What is known as the median point is the point of intersection of the line dividing the population equally north and south with the line dividing it equally east and west. The center of population in 1900 was at a point six miles southeast of Columbus, Ind., or north latitude 39 degrees and 9.5 minutes and west longitude 85 degrees 48.9 minutes. The median point in 1900 was at Spartanburg, Ind., or latitude 40 de- grees 4 minutes and 22 seconds and longitude 84 degrees 51 minutes and 29 seconds. The center of area of the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii and other recent accessions, is in northern Kansas, in approximate latitude 39 degrees 55 minutes and ap- proximate longitude 98 degrees 50 minutes.

Area of Porto Rico is approximately 3,600 and of the Philippine islands 114.000 square miles (land and water, 832,968). NOTE The areas as given above were computed under the direction of Henry Gannett, geographer of the United States geological survey, for the census office. In some cases the tlgures vary from those given by the general land office, but they are believed to be as nearly correct as possible. In the case of states bordering on the great lakes the water surface of the latter has been included in the computation of areas by the land office and excluded by Mr. Gannett. This will account in large measure for the apparent discrepancies. 72 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1906. IMMIGRATION INTO THE UNITED STATES. Fiscal years ended June 30.

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY. xne general assembly of the presbyterlan church was held at Winona Lake, Ind.. May 19-27, 1905. The Kev. James U. Mof- lat was chosen moderator. On May 22 tne assembly, without a dissenting vote, declared for union with tne Cumberland Presbyterian church on the doctrinal basis of confession of faith of the presbyterian church in the United States of America, as revised in 1903, and of its other doctrines and ecclesiastical standards, the scriptures of the old and new testament* to lie ac- knowledged as the inspired word of God and the only infallible rule of practice. The Cumberland church took similar action at its general assembly. At the meeting of the southern presbyterian church in May the committee on federation with other branches of the church was continued for another year, but the general sentiment seemed to be against union.
