question whether at some time in the near

strous water famine. 1t is due to the pub
lie that the oficials in charge should explain
the cause of the scarcity and impurity of the

deavor to remedy present evils than to be

those that may prove insurmountable.

As the end of the summer draws near the
changes in the meteorological conditions
over the whole country become rapid and
uncertain in their operation. The vast ex-
panse of surface represented by the areas
of the United States and British Amer
lea, with its variations Of geological charac-
ter and topography, presents complicated
field for observation which necessitates the
employment Of on elaborate system, as per-
feet in its organization as that of the Signal
Service, in order to secure the most
reliable information. As the season adj
vances the southwest will become the
region from which we may expect many
storm centres to commence their transit
over the United States. OF these several will
originate in tho tropical seas, and will be
due to the influence of the waves of cold air
that will press from the northeastward on
the atmosphere Of the regions of perpetual
summer heat. causing O disturbance of the
atmospheric equilibrium and q consequent
generation of cyclonic storms. It will be
observed that in certain ATTITUDES of the
United States, embraced between the thirty
second and forty-second parallels, tornadoes
Of extraordinary violence occur during the
summer. These destructive meteors are due
TO the same influences operating on o COM
paratively small scale that combine to
create the cyclones in the equatorial
seas. But tho latter, having an uninter-
rupted scope for their movements, do not
exhaust themselves readily like tho lorna
does, which are frequently broken up by
typographical distractions to their progress
We draw the attention of our readers to this
yubject somewhat in advance of the period
Of change, although indications are not
wanting of its near approach. Already the
weather variations in the northern attitudes
Are becoming frequent, and the areas of low
barometer descending as it were, from the
Northwest, follow each other with rapidity.
Alterations of warm and cool weather arc
becoming more marked, and we are called
on to notice certain unmistakable signs Of
atmospheric distur bance in the Gulf, where
the winds are becoming daily more variable.
Cooler and clear weather may be looked for
in New York during the next few days.
1HE ACCIDENT 10 tne Tacluc nail stedIuer
Colon seems to have been of a serious nature.
Her machinery, which was manufactured in
Scotland, and, as it seems, imported under
special act of Congress, broke down and
left her SO perfectly helpless that she had to
be towcd back to this port-a distance of
seven hundred and fifty miles. A flaw in
the forging of the crank shaft caused the ac-
cident. Two men were scalded to death by
the displacement of the steam supply pipe
from the throttle chamber, and these. fortu-
nasely, were the only casualties. 1t is posi-
BILE that as the flaw in the crank was too far
beneath the surface to be seen there is no
one to blame but the manufacturers but it
will be difficult to comfort the friends of the
poor men who lost their lives with this state
