jolly pictures by Stephens. Besides all these,
there are no less than three serials now running
in st. Nicholas. "What Might Have Been
Expected, by Frank II. Stockton, story fcr
boys, which was commenced in the first num-

watery adventure, description or decidedly
curious Christmas tree. Then there is the first

Monthly weather ReNtew.

We have been furnished by Prof.
Jno. X. Payne, of the United States
Signal Service, with a copy of the
weather review for the month of July,
from which we take the following ex-
tracts:
N careful examination ofthe meteor
illogical data accumulated in this
office during the past month, from
both the regular and volunteer obsarv-
ers, has rendered it necessary to con
slider facts referring to an unusual Sc
ries of atmospheric phenomena.
The month has been particularly
marked in the occurrence of severe
local storms, which have, in some
cases, proved greatly destructive to
both life and property,
The accompanying charts show an
intimate relation existing between the
barometric pressure, temperature, pre-
vailing direction of winds and moisture,
in the several geographic districts, and
illustrate in q fOrcible manner that
each of the elements above named is
an important but variable function of
the weather, while a comparison with
previous months and years would inui-
cate that decided changes in atmos
pheric conditions depend more directly
upon the supply of aqueous vapor.
Generally, the weather has been fa-
vorabe for agricultural pursuits. This
is especially so on the Pacific coast,
where the yield of wheat is reported to
he greater than in previous years, al
though there are sections in the north
ern portion of this region where ex-
cessive rains have been Injurious, and
the low temperature prevented the
maturing and ripening of the grain.
1t is now quite certain that the late
frosts, which occurred in Virginia,
North Carolina, Mississippi and Ten
nessee, will materially reduce the fruit
crop in these regions, and that the
drought in the Ohio valley, Tennessee
and Arkansas, has caused an almost
total failure of the tobacco crop. There
has been a deficiency of rain in the
regions north and west of the Ohio
valley, but the excess in previous
months has produced excellent crops,
except in limited localities, where
drought or insects have completely de-
! stroyed vegetation. In some districts
the agricultural interests have been
| improved by the occurrence of timely
rains, while in others too much rain,
or almost a total absence of it, has
caused a total failure of particular
crops.
PrObd6ilitieS-The critical compari.
son between the separate items of the
published tri- daily probabilities and the
| subsequent weather reports, shows
that on the average, during the month
S5.7 per cent. of the predictions hav,
been well verified.
