Natural Weather Signals.


An interesting suggestion was made short
time ago by German physicist for making
use OF certain cloud forms as telegraphic storm
indicators. In connection with the aeronatftic
experiments conducted under the supervision
of the Signal Service ON excellent opportunity
is afforded for ascertaining how far and under
what conditions these natural weather moni-
tors which float aloft may be depended upon
for meteorological information. Humboldt
first called attention TO the delicate, uniformly
broken groups of clouds and small cloud strial
which move on the lines of the magnetic meri-
dams and converge perspectively toward the
magnetic poles of the earth. This eminent
authority connected these feecy and ILL
defined stratiied clouds with the Polar
or auroral lights, and conjectured, with
the great Arctic navigators Sir John Franklin
and Richardson, that they were the effect of
meteorological process, generated by and ac-
companying the magnetic storm. When ex-
ploring the Mexican plateau in 1903, and

General Toombs and Governor Brown
OF Georgia-A Smell OF Gunpowder.
A letter was recently published in the Grif-
fin (Ga) Daily Ne,os, signed r. Toombs, in
reference to certain act passed by the Geor-
gia Legislature, and in this letter these extra
ordinary observations occur -
The Legislature accepted the offer Of $685. 900 from
Lochrane, Kimball and Brown, who engineered the
bill through the Legislature in the name OF the
was applied to them in derisOn OF the pretences
under which the people were stripped OF this prop
erty for the use Of these ..orpha9s" This action Of
simple. did state further, as far as my
knowledge extended, all Of the public plunderers
who pretended to be democrats, from Tammany
Hall down to the smallest petty larceny thief on tho
State Road, were Greeley men, and so Is the fact.
Now Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, suspect
ing that he is the Brown alluded to by the
aforesaid r. Toombs, issues declaration of
war, in which he says that 'if General
Toombs intends by this language to say that I
have been guilty Of bribery in engineering
this bill through the Legislature I pronounce
his statement an infamous falsehood and its
author ON unscrupulous liar" And this Is
signed 'very respectfully, Joseph E. Brown"
We fear that General Toombs and Governor
Brown have both been overdoing their virtu-
Gus indignation but we hope that these two
fiery young gentlemen will settle this little
affair without an appeal to gunpowder. Let
them follow the good example Of Uncle Sam
at the Geneva Conference in the settlement Of
their indirect damages them try Board
of Arbitration.

s1cxico-Our Latest Despatchos-The
RevOlutiOnists Strong.

Our special telegraphic dispatches from
Matamoros, published in another part of the
paper, show that the revolutionists are strong
and hopeful, and that battle at or in the
vicinity of Monterey is imminent Though
General Trevifo was reported to have force
of three thousand revolutionists before the city
of Saltillo, he had not attacked that place, see
ing that the Juaristas had little ammunition,
no hope of aid, and must soon capitulate, and
he being, therefore, desirous of avoiding un-
necessary shedding of blood. On the side of
the government the generals and leaders still
talk hopefully and promise great things. Our
correspondent telegraphs from Marin, eight
leagues from Monterey, that General Cevallos
boasts that he will soon be in Monterey.
There was report Of the defeat of three hun
dred of General Ochoa Juarista cavalry, with
loss of hundred and fifty prisoners by the
revolutionary General Pedro Martinez. Ochoa
was concentrating his forces in San Louis.
In fact, there are the usual ups and downs and
changing fortune of war on both sides, without
anything decisive or any prospect of peace and
order. On the whole, the news is unfavorable
to the Juarez government, and shows that in
the northern and border States there is scarcely
q hope that Juarez can restore his authority.
1t is perpetual anarchy The only chance to
redeem Mexico from this deplorable con-
diton is through the intervention of the
United States.

weather, there will be genuine sensation in
the musical line at the Academy of Music.
This is the mercurial Strauss, whose waltzes
have set the whole world in whirI, and
VINO has undergone purgatory for the
last fortnight at the Boston barn such
as never musician was subjected to be-
FORE Here he will have an intelligent orches-
tra' worthy of him; an appreciative audience
and tributes to his genius more valuable than
the howls of the noisy crowd on Back Bay Il
was no easy task to get him out of the clutches
of the thousand and one committees of tho
Panjandrum. Mr.. Rullmann, New York
manager, the same who took full charge of the
Dickens readings, Independent of Dickens or
his agent, was the successful one in this in
stance. The Solons of the Hub stormed in
vain, Faneuil Hall protested, the Liberal Club
almost became sunstruck in their frantic en-
deavors to keep the great composer away from
the ungodly city Of Manhattan. But all in
vain. The sturdy manager stood his ground
under ninety-fve in the shade, and disregarded
the fierce expostulations that went up from
Back Bay to the Neck. As Strauss returns to
Europe on Saturday next there can be only
three concerts given by him. These will take
place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings, and the orchestra will consist of the
picked musicians of the metropolis.

The lRREpREssrBLE CATAcAzY AoAN-1t
appears by telegram from London, pub
lished in our columns yesterday that the
late Russian Minister at Washington-NIr.
.Catacazy-is up again in belligerent attitude.
He has written a pamphlet, it seems, "con-
tanning terrible revelations concerning the
administration of General Grant, and wants to
have it published. 1t appears, also, that this
is a little pecuniary speculation. He wants to
sell the pamphlet to some publisher One
Widemann has offered it for sale and states
that he has been engaged by Mr. Catacazy to
do so. No doubt the ex- Minister would like
to have revenge on Secretary Fish, and might
not object to turn penny at the same time.
He has singing pen as we'll as q voluble
tongue, and might make the fur fly and create
o sensation; but we advise Mr.. Catacazy to
keep quiet and retire upon his pension from
the Russian government. He may lose that
even, by imprudence, as he lost his position of
Minister, unless, indeed, that sly old fox,
Prince Gortschakof, should have no objection
to such hit at our Secretary of State, now that
the Russian government is in no way respon-
sible for the actions of Catacazy. The pen in
fue hands of those who have mania for writ
ing often Injuries the writer more than the
Rbieet assailed.

Northern Asia in 1929, Humboldt pushed his
investigations of this phenomenon. He found
that, in conformity with the magnetic varia-
ton, the direction of the delicate cirrus clouds,
or ''polar bands" as he called them, changed
from south to north to an easterly direction
or followed line running from southwest to
northwest in the Altai territory.
DR.. Prestel, scientist of Germany, has OBJ
served that in his own country such polar
bands extend from southeast to northwest, and
then change slowly to the line of
southwest to northeast. When such
cloud strial appear over Europe he has
found the telegraphic weather reports there
make it possible to compare the simultaneous
conditions and motions of the atmosphere over
the entire Continent, the storm area, even if
still far distant, being at the same time present
to all places over which the polar bands and
their vanishing points in the horizon are visi-
BILE. While the weather is still beautifully
clear in the lower depths of the atmospheric
ocean, the delicate filament of clouds fringe
the extreme limits of the advancing storm area,
and give unfailing indications of the upper air
currents which are bearing it onward Thus,
with the varying direction of the cirrus clouds
the meandering course of the storm centre is
said to be determined, the observer being able
to discern the coming disturbance while yet
five hundred or thousand miles distant, as
the storm thus Geographically announces its
approach by the fine celestial tokens. The
habitual observation Of such signs in the heav-
ems would doubtless enable the farmer and the
mariner better to appreciate the daily weather
probabilities.
The elucidation of this long-studied but OBJ
scure subject OF practical science is much
needed and will amply reward investigation.

surest safeguard of republican institutions.
But the action of the emancipated journals and
the heated personal character of the campaign
prompt the inquiry why so much earnest and
angry feeling should be called forth by Presi-
Dental election? What is it that causes
this great commotion the country through
whenever the chief executive officer of the
nation is to be chosen by the electorsp There
is too much reason to fear that the solution
patronage attached to the position. In the
present contest there is nothing to excite party
enthusiasm on either side, and no great issues
divide the people into distinctly defined oppo-
sition. The platforms of the two republican
conventions that have already been held are
substantially the same, except that the Gin
cinnati conventionists declare in favor of
civil service reform, which they charge that
the present administration has failed to make,
and of foreign policy different from that to
which we have been subjected under the un-
fortunate regime Of Secretary Fish. The Balti-
more Convention WILL no doubt, endorse in
the main the principles laid down by the liberal
republicans The candidates themselves occupy
a singular position. General Grant has never
been republican, and outside the war ques-
ton, now dead and buried, has no sympathy
IN common with republicanism. Yet he is the
candidate of the regular republican party
Horace Greeley is the father of republicanism
and the leading champion of its principles;
yet, although he carries with him large pro-
portion of original republicans, he looks to
the almost united support of the democracy
for his success. Grant cannot touch the re-
publican heart as it was touched by Lincoln.
Greeley cannot arouse democratic enthusiasm
as it was aroused by Mcclellan and Seymour.
We must look, then, for an explanation of the
heated partisanship of the campaign elsewhere
than in the loyalty and devotion of the polit-
cal organizations to their standard bearers,
and few will be disposed to question
that it is 10 DO found in the federal

Fred Horn, the Democrat Tycoon of

Now, as far as the merits OF demerits
Of Greeley are concerned, some Democ-
rats may not be willing to forget so rea5i.

si>tcntly for years incited the Southern
people to rebellion that he was the first
who, for nearly a week during the begin
niag of the civil war, advocated in his
Tribune ''peaceable SECESSION, and Mr.
Seward Gid not ring his little belf' for
him as he did afterwards for innocent
men, sending them to Fort Lafayette.

tricities. Some Democrats may think

of fact, he has already taken hold of the
attention OF the entire country, as. one
of the giant intellects and the most
brilliant orators in the Senate. He is a
tremendous worker, both in his profes-
sloual and public duties. Few men
could perform one half of his labor, and
live out halt their day.-Every word he
utters comes with the freshness of new
life. He grasps his theme so frmly,
and treats it with such strength of
thought and richness of language, that
he soon fills the empty seats in the Sen
ate, when word flies around the Capitol

His Senatorial colleagues and the public
at large will appreciate him better, and
be prouder of him, when they know that
there is not gentleman now in public
hfc who is go far from personal malignity
and resentment toward those who may
encounter his opposition, as Senator
Carpenter.-He is positively without
malIco and without guile.
And, yet in debate he carries every
thing before him. and leaves his appo-
nent without any idle reserves. as if
he were on the battle field under the
'black-fas" of a StonewalI Jackson.
The simple fact is that in debate, in
speech or in argument whether in the Sem
ate OF IN Court, Or before popular assem-
biies. Mr. Carpenter has never been
oyer-matched. Closeness of logic and
fullness OF expression are his peculari-
ties. His impulses too are all on the
side ofjustice and humanity. It is we'll
