A CHEAP BAROMETER.

The cheapest barometer for household use
is made by putting common leecb into
phial OF water, which may oe hung up any
where 10 the shade, near door or window.
The leech is peculiarly sensitive to approach
ing atmospheric changes. II the weather
proves serene and mild, he remsios nosiouless
at the bottom of the glass, rolled up in spiral
form. II be is discovered At the surface Of
the water, you may be certain that rain is
about to occur, as there be will stay till it
o,mes on and the weather becomes settled
If windy time 10 to occur, he sports with
great and incsssant activity through the
water, and seldom rests until the blow has
actually come on. Ifs heavy storm Of sbun-
der and rain is to succeed, for some days pre-
vlous it lodges almost cons tantly outside the
water, and discovers consoued ubessiness
of movement. 10 the frost, ss 10 clear sum.
lner westher, it lies constantly at the bottom
of the glass; and, in snow, as 10 rainy wea'
tber, it pitches its dwelling upon the very
mouth Of the phial, which should be left un-
corked to enable the animal to breathe. Bui
linen rag should he stretched over 1t to pre-.
vent an escape. A common sigh, ounce pbal
is large enough, filled about tbree.tourths
with hydrant water. During the summer
months the water should be changed once q
week: in winter once fortnight.
