EFFECT OF RAILROADS ON TIE WEATHER.
The opinion seems to be gaining strength,
that the Pacific Railroad is working great
change in the climate of the Plains In
stead of continuous droughts, all along the
railroad, rain falls in refreshing abundance
This result has been remarked upon in other
sections OF the west. In central Ohio, for
example, it is said the climate has been
completely revolutionized since iron rails
have formed a net work all over that region.
Instead of the destructive droughts formerly
suffered there, for some four or five years
years there has been rain in abundance-even
more than enough to satisfy the wants of
farmers. This change is thought to be the
result of an equilibrium produced in the
electrical currents which has brought about
more uniform dispensation of the rain
1t is fact within the observation of all who
remember ante railroads times, that we have
now few or no such thunder storms as we
formerly had in New England The iron
rails which touch and cross each other in
every direction serve as conductors and
equalizers of the electric currents, and so
prevent the awful explosions which used
to terrify us in former years. The telegraph
ic wires which accompany the iron rails
everywhere, also act an important part in
ditfusng electricity eq ually through the at
mosphere, thus preventing the occurrence
of severe thunder storms. [Boston Traveller.

THE PRESENTATION.

An item in the journal last week in regard to the
presentation of a Silver Service to Mrs. j. F
Moses by the Bucksport Fire Department, does moi
seem to our narrow minds to be correct, taking
everything into consideration. Very few ofthe mem
bers in the Fire Department knew any thing in re
gard to the affair until it was over, and quite q
number first heard of it through the columns of the
Journal and Whig d Courier
Mr. j. F. Moses is a generous hearted man, as
the members of the Fire Department can testify to
on numerous occasions, and his wife is a lady in
every sense Of the word. The members of both
Companies have not forgotten the night of the fire
at Riders Block, when the hot coffee served to
them from his house, and they would have esteem
ed it privilege to have signed the subscription pa
per for the Silver Service, had it been presented to
them, but by some '.Iocus Pocus" arrangement OF
few individuals, who are laboring under the idea
that they are the Fire Department. it was not pre-
sented to them, and we take this method to explain
our position members Of the Fire Department.

BEIss OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
