Chicago, Oct. -6.-The Journal has
a special from Colorado, which con-
firms the Associated Press reports as
to the republican victory, estimating
the majority at 1900 to 1000. The
Times specials, however, assert that
the democrats have probably carried
the state, and that at least full vote
must be counted before it is certain
there is republican victory.
Denver, Oct 6-Returns are just
received from Ebert county, which
gives republican majority Of 20,
a republican gain over 1874 Of 223,
and Grand county gives a republican
majority of 45, aiepublican gain OF
81. Deducting from the total of the
republicans majorities which the Of,
hclal figures assume to be correct all
that has been claimed by the demo
cratic state committee, it leaves the
ne, republican majority in the state
Z, ,eee. The legislature will certainly
be two-thirds republican, aud probab.
ly nearly three forths. All special re-
ports, designed to contute or throw
discredit upon the dispatches, are sent
out Tor mischievous purposes.

The hiring hy the Servian govern

berg, general manager Of the former
road, and Robert Harris, president of

went to New York few days ago to
get the assent Of the directors Of the
Burlington road to the sale. Ii the

directors may think his too ligh, and
may for this reason object to the puf-
chase. II is understood that the main
reason for the Burlington and Quincy
railroad desiring to purchase, this
road is to get rid Of competitor.

High and Lew naromter.

In a valuable paper, read before
the American Academy of Sciences,
at Washington, last week, Professor
Elias Loomis, of Yale College, said
that, in a large majority-say two
thirds-cf instances, if there is low
barometer at q given point, high
barometer is found at a locality to
the southeast at a distance Of about
1900 miles on this continent. OBJ
servations in Europe give the same
result as to coincidence and direc-
ton, but the distance there is about
1900 miles. In both continents the
high barometer is always associated
with low barometer. Thus, when
there is an area of low barometer
in Alaska, there is one of high bar
ometer, accompanied by cold, at
about the middle of the United
States when there is low barome-
ter in Iceland, there are records Of
high barometer and cold at Paris
and Vienna. The physical con-
nections between these areas of
high and low barometer is a sub
Jet for hypothesis In general
there is a flow of air to the central
portion of an area of low barome-
ter; it seems necessary to assume
that the air thus concentrating
must rise and flow out above. On
the other hand, it is shown that
with an area Of high barometer
there is a steady flow of air out
ward; it would appear that this air
must be descending from above
within that area, and must be con-
tinuously supplied, as the outward
flow does not send the barometer
down, Now if within an area Of
low barometer the air is going up,
and simultaneously within an area
Of high barometer is going down.
it seems at least probable that the
air which goes up in one comes
down in the other. But it will moi
yet answer to assume that this may
account for our cold spells, if We
admit that the air which was cooled
and went up in Alaska comes dowr
upon New York, bearing, so tC
speak, its cold; for there is q law o
compensation always at work. Thl
capacity of air for heat depend
upon its density; if carried to
hight the air expands, and, pounC

The moon and ono weatner

The notion that the moon exerts
an influence on the weather is. 60
deeply rooted that, notwithstanding
all the attacks which have been
made against it since meteorology
has been seriously studied, it con-
tinues to retain its hold upon us.
And yet there never was a popular
superstition more utterly withouta
basis than this one. If the moon
really did possess any power over
the weather, that power could
only be exercised in one of three
ways-by reflection of the SUMS
rays, by attraction, or by emana-
ton. No other form of action is
conceivable. Now as the brightest
light of a full moon is never equal
in intensity orquality to that which
is reflected toward us by a white
cloud on a summer day, it can
scarcely be pretended that weather
is affected by such cause. That
the moon does exert attraction on
us is manifest-we see its workings
in the tides; but though it can
move water, it is most unlikely that
it can do the same to air, for the
specific gravity of the atmosphere
is so small that there is nothing to
be attracted. Laplace calculated,
indeed, that the joint attraction Of
the sun and moon together could
not stir the atmosphere at a quicker
rate than five miles a day. AS for
lunar emanations, not a sign Of
them has ever been discovered.
The idea of an influence produced
by the phases Of the moon is there
fore based on no recognizable cause
whatever, Furthermore, it is now
distinctly shown that no variations
at all really occur in weather at the
moment of the changes of quarter,
any more than at other ordinary
times. Since the establishment Of
meteorological stations all over the
earth, it has been proved by mil
lions of observations that there is
no simultaneousness whatever be-
tween the supposed cause and effect,
The whole story is a fancy and .
superstition which has been handed
down to us uncOntradicted, anC
which we have accepted as true, be-
cause our forefathers believed it
The moon exercises no more influ
epce on weather than herrings dC
on the government of Switzerland

1t is worth while to go to St.
Petersburg (says the London
Times), if only to eat Russian
dinner. Like all northern nations,
the Russians rejoice in raw food
and startling contrasts. Some Of
their favorite soups are eaten cold,
and their tea is drank SO hot as to
be impossible to an English palate.
AS a preparation for dinner, some
Of a long list of relishes are chosen
and washed down by strong liquors.
You may take caviar, raw herring,
raw smoked salmon, raw dried stur-
geon, raw smoked goose, cheese,
butter or radishes, or even, like a
seasoned Russian, several of these
delicacies. They are the introduc-
ton to cold iced soup of "kyas"
"a beverage made Of fermented
rye), with pieces Of herring, Gu
cumber and meal floating in it; or
another cold soup Of green color,
or, what Is really good, stchi," a
cabbage soup to be eaten with sour
cream or fish soup. For your next
course-fsh-you are recommend
ed to select either Rastigai patties,
very much like mullins, with fish !,
or " solianka Ia dish composed Of
fish and cabbage. By this time
you should be broken in sufficient
ly to face with equanimity both the
words "porosionk pod khrenom,''
or their manifestations in the flesh
namely, cold boiled sucking pig,
with horse-radish sauce. You may
then add the really delicious chick
EN-, or veal outlets and roast mutton
stuffed with buckwheat, passing on
to capercailzle, riabchick Ia kind
of grOuse), or double snipe, with
salted cucumbers for salad, and
various sweet dishes, including Mes
selrode pudding in the land of its
birth. eff digestion requires itp
you may return to cheese and ca
war but if you have indeed sue
ceeded in eating all these dishe
with relish, there can be no appa
rent reason on the score of diges
ton why you should not go OF
again with the cold soup, anC
spend a few hours more or less din
ing in a circle. You ought mean
while to be drinking the wines d
the Crimea, the Caucasus, or Don
but you will not find it easy to ger
