I THE KAPPA ALPHA BASoUET-A FESTIVE
REUNION OF BRETHREN.-Last evening the
Eta chapter of the Kappa Alpha order of
Richmond College held their annual re-
union at the st. Claire Hotel. Besides the
members Of the chapter there were present
representatives OF the A., l., and Z chap
| ters, and several other invited guests. The
company assembled in the parlors OF the
hotel, and after an hour spent in pleasant
social converse repaired to the spa
cious dining-room, where sumptuous
banquet was spread. The table was beau
tifully decorated with flowers, and the taste
displayed in the arrangements reflect great
credit upon the proprietors OF the hotel.
Their wel-known skill was fully displayed
on this occasion. The committee OF ar
rangemen:s Of the Eta chapter was COM
posed OF Messrs. Fl. e. Cabell, N. A. Tur-
ner, r. E. Glover, and R. Fl. Pitt.
Mr.. Ashton Starke, OF Eta, presided with
his inimitable wit, and under his skiful

How the Weather is ForetoId.

The atmosphere has weight, Just as water
or any other fluid, although it seems to be
perfectly bodiless. We must comprehend
that the transparent, invisible air is press
ing inward toward the centre OF the earth.
This pressure varies according to the state
OF the weather, and the changes are indi-
Gated by an instrument called barometer.
Generally speaking, the falling of the mer-
curry in the tube OF the barometer indicates
rain, and its rise hcralds clear weather.
Sometimes the rise is followed by cold
winds, frost, and ice. What these
changes really indicate, however, can
be determined only by comparing the
Darometric changes, at certain hours,
in number of places very far apart.
This is done by the signal service.
Observations are made At about one
hundred and forty stations, in different por-
tions OF the country, at given hours, and
the results are telegraphed nj once to wash
ington, where our faithful "Weather clerk u
receives them, reasoning out from them the
probabilities" which he publishes three
times in every twenty-four hours.
But the atmosphere varies not only in
weight, but also in temperature. The ther.
mometcr tells us Of such changes.
Besides this, the air contains q great
ulllOuuL VI lAOlStNlSs anu ~ SLoho oo iAiNSh'
variation Ill this characteristic as in the
others. For the purpose OF making known
the changes in the moisture OF the atmos.
phere an instrument has been invented
called a wet-bulb thermometer.
We are thus enabled to ascertain the
weight OF pressure, the temperature, and
the wetneSs OF the air, and now it only re-
mains for us to measure the force and point
out the direction OF the wind. This is done
by the familiar wcathervane and the ane
momctcr. The vane shows the direction
and the thermometer is an instrument which
indicates the velocity OF the wind.
1t is by right understanding OF all these
instruments that the signal-serVice officer i:
enabled to tell what the weather says OF it
self; for they are the pens with which Tho
weather writes out the facts from which tht
officer makes up his reports for the benefi
| Of all concerned. Thus. however wildly
and bindly the storm may seem to come, i
sends messengers telling just where it arose
what course it will take, and how far it will
extend. But it tells its secrets to those only
who pay strict attention.-JameS II. Flint

. The relation between drainage and health
in large cities is we'll exemplitied in statis-
tics furnished by St. Louis. For period
Of four years, commencing from 1860, du-
ring which time the city had a population
OF 100000, and was, generally speaking,
without sewers, the average mortality was
5000. In 1865 a great extension Of the
sewer system was entered upon. In 1870,
in q population OF 100000, the death-rate
was only 6,670. There are now 180 miles
Of sewers, and though the city numbers
over 100000 inhabitants, the mortality Of
last year was less than the average during
the period between 1860 and 1870, and for
the last four years it has been on an average
but 8,40D, with a steady decrease from the
beginning to the end OF the period. No
cause for the decreased mortality, other
than the development OF the sewer-system,
Is apparent. - W Washington Star.
