SOME of Winnie Ream's Roman work,
Just arrived in New York, includes fig
ure of Sappho and figurino represent
ing the spirit of the Carnival. The
former is described as full-length
figure, almost completely draped the
hands are crossed in front, and she
holds in the right stylus, and in the
left a scroll of papyrus, on which is
written, in Greek, the words from her
own poem, "Thou must die, and no
memory of thee shall remain. At her
feet lies lutte; her tunic is edged with
Greek embroidery, and the sandals upon
her feet, and the fillet that binds her
hair, add to the classic effect of the
whole. The Carnival figure represents
young girl seated, and in the act of
hrowing s wreath of flowers, her face
it up with laughing grace. An an
tique flower stand, from which flowers
are overfowing, is by her side, and a
mask is thrown at her feet. A mosaic
pavement and broken capital of a col
umn over which shining lizard is
crawling, reminds us at once of Rome.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS


'What is the use of the weather bul
letiDS?" is question not unfrequenuy
asked in these uncertain days by persons
who conceive that the chief object Of the
signal service reports is to inform them
when to go to market with an umbrella,
or when to accept an invitation to pic
nic, or Sunday school excursion. The
New York Times says the real purpose
Of tie Bureau is TO explain, as accurately
as possible, the progress and course OF
such storms as are likely TO threaten yes
5. ls and impede navigation. Most Of
these are to be predicted both as TO their
extent and direction. Al storms Crigina-
ting in large movements Of the upper ar,
and extending over greet areas, can be
thus watched aud pointed out a little in
advsnce of their arrival. Tnere are
storms other than these dangerous to ships,
but which cannot yet be foretold, because,
though violent, they extend only over a
limited area, and last but short time.
There are also other storms not very
violent, but OF which it is desirable to
hsve forewarning. They are often pure
ly local. Concerning this class, also, the
War Department does not yet undertake
TO give knowledge. From its last publ
cation we infer, however, that it is pro-
crossing rapidly toward an attempt to Go
even this. Ia proportion as the officers
in charge receive more minute informa-
lion, and in proportion as they discover
the general laws and local conditions IN
| accordance with " h ca their information
il to be interpreted, they will be able 10
give US more AMI bstter prophecies.
They are doing noble and excellent
work, and one by which the entire CON-
munity is benefited more than they ct
present realize.
The practical benefits of The govern
ment signal system were lately demon
strated. A terrific storm originated in
the Rocky Mountains, starting southwark,
but on reaching Corinne, Utah, TUNED
eastward. lis course, as II varied, was
reported by telegraph all over the coun-
try. The signal stations on telegraph
lines are all furnished with the weather
| instruments heretofore alluded to, So that
when the storm ragged north of COIinne,
and was reported at Omaha, the report
was sent no further, as the instrument at
that point gave no sign of its approach.
| The moment it turned east from Ulah he
barometer at Omaha told more surely than
tic telegraph that tie. storm was coming,
and il was telegraphed on 10 the lsk's,
where the shipping was put IN order to
receive it forty-eigh. hours before it ar
rived. Taus did this admirable system
save life and properly by its timsly VAIN
ing.
