4 weather prophet has found out how
to DO it. He writes to an agricultural pa
per, saying: when you wish to know
what the weather is TO be- go ont and select
the smallest cloud you can see; keep your
eye upon it, and if it decreases and disap
pears, it shows the state of the air which
will be sure 20 be followed by fine weather;
but if it increases in size take your great
coat with you, if you aregoing from home.
for falling weather will not be far off, The
reason is this: when the air is becoming
charged with electricity, you will see ev-
cry cloud attracting all the lesser ones to-
wards it until it gathers into a cloud into
shower; and on the contrary, when the
fluid is passing off or diffusing itself. even
large cloud will be seen breaking into
pieces and dissolring."

until Congress could be consulted. In
