Long BRANCH NOf' NOW lork uIApnlc'I
Chamberlain's Club House, where
he invested nearly 100000, is the
property of Phil DAILY, of Philadel-
phia, a man of means aud good
reputation, who paid only $4,000
for the whole property, which is
one of the largest lots and best
cottages. Roulette, faro and some
other games are dealt here, and
there is a quiet attendance nightly,
the game having run up on Satur-
day night to $4,000. 1t is said that
the unObtrusiye, square. dealing men
alone come out even. A few years
ago Morrissey and Chamberlain
were enyied for their means and
standing; with their mutual part
ner, McGrath, they were considered
to be worth 100000 to $500, 900
apiece. McGrath bought a farm
in Kentucky, and it is his best
stake yet. The other two lost
theirs; Chamberlain in lavish gen.
erosity, Morrissey in the vanity of
politics. Morrissey's floating debts
are very numerous, often the loans
of other sporting men. John
Chamberlain retains a very large
goodwill, and although he will
have no interest in its management
the race track he bought and estab
lished will probably become thu
greatest in the country, replacing
Jerome Park. 1t was noticed las

We must comprehend that the
transparent, invisible air is press
ing inward to the center Of the
earth. The pressure varies accord
ing to the state Of the weather, and
the changes are indicated by an in
strument called a barometer. Gen
orally speaking, the falling of the
mercury in the tube Of the barom-
eter indicates rain, and its rise
heralds clear weather. Sometimes
the rise is followed by cold winds,
frost and ice. What these changes
really indicate, however, can be de-
termined only by comparing the
barometric changes at certain hours,
in a number of places very far
apart. This is done by the signal
service. Observations are made at
about one hundred and forty sta
tions, in different portions of the
country, at given hours, and the
results are telegraphed at once to
Washington, where our faithful
weather clerk" receives them,
reasoning out from them the "prob-
abilities" which he publishes three
times in every twenty-four hours.
But the atmosphere varies not
only in weight, but also in tempera-
tire. The thermometer tell us of
such changes.
Besides this, the air contains a
great amount Of moisture, and it
shows as much variation in this
characteristic as in the Others. For
the purpose of making known the
changes in the moisture of the at
mosphere, an instrument has been
invented called a "wet bulb" ther-
mometer.
We are thus enabled to ascertain
the weight or pressure, the temper
ature, and the wetness of the air,
and now 1T only remains Tor us to
measure the force, and point out
the direction Of the wind. This is
done by the familiar weather-vanC
and the thermometer. The vane
shows the direction, and the anem.
ometer is an instrument which in.
dicates the velocity of the wind.
1t is by a right understanding o
all these instruments that the sig
nal service officer is enabled to tel
what the weather says of itself; fo
they are the pens with which tn
weather writes out the facts from
! which the officer makes up his re
ports for the benefit of all concern
ed. Thus, however wildly an
blindly the storm may seem t
come, it sends messengers tellinl
! just where it arose, what course
will take and how far it will ex
: tend. But it tells its secrets t
those only who pay strict attention

ABOUT THE WEATHER.
How Old Probabilities COntItves TO
Predict its Changes.

st Nicholas Tor July.I
One who is popularly known un-
der the somewhat disrespectlul title
of "Old Prob," or "0ld Probabili-
ties" has become the herald of the
weather to the sailor, near the
rocky, dangerous coast; to the far
mer, watching his crops, and wait
ing for good days to store them; to
the tarveler, anxious to pursue his
journey under fair skies, and to the
girls and boys who want to know,
before they start to the woods for a
picnic, what are the probabilities"
as to rain.
Every one who reads the daily
paper is familiar with the "Weather
Record" issued from the "War
Department office of the Chief Sig
nal Officer" at Washington. These
reports give, first, a general state
ment of what the weather has been
Tor the past twenty-fOur hours, all
over the country, from Maine to
California, and from the lakes to
the South Atlantic States; and then
the probabilities" or "indica-
tons" for the next twenty-Gour
hours, over the same broad terri
tory. The annual reports of the
chief signal officer show that in only
comparatively few instances do
these daily predictions fail OF fulfill
ment.
The reason these prophecies are
so true is a simple and yet Won
derful one. The weather itself tells
the observer what it is going to do.
