From the study Of phenomena Of thun-
der-storms in the Paris Giroude, VI.
Lespiault comes to the conclusion that,
valleys are more struck by hail than
hills or tableland. II seems that GER
tain depth below the clouds is necessary
for the formation or the fall of hail TO oc-
cur without obstacle. Further, the iii
rections of the valleys traveTsed have a
marked influence on the directions of
the clouds, though they only cause a
momentary detection, and the clouds,
after following them "a certain time. are
carried on in the general direction Of the
vertical movement. For example, if a
valley be in the axis OF the zone of hail,
or little inclined to that axis, the hail
clouds seem to be carried along that val
lev as dead leaves are carried along by
the wind in u trench. If the valley be
sub1ieided by "a mountain spur into two
others the hail cloud also divides and the
two secondary valleys are ravaged in
their turn, at least to the extent in which
they are within the zone hail Valleys
lying across this zone have also an in
fluence, though less marked. When the
cloud come to pass over them they show
a Tendency 10 descend aud 90 spread Gus
zone is broader over valleys than over
plateaus, and the rayages are often
greater.

My idea of a guano island had always
been that 1t was very rocky and covered
with white substance resembling NOR
tar before the sand is mixed with It,
imagined, too, that it exhaled an odor
differing somewhat from the orange
groves of Tahiti. Had | not been told
that | was ON guano island | would
not now have known it from the sur
roundings. Instead of being rocky the
soil was mellow and dark and every
where vegetation was most luxruiant.
The air was remarkably clear and pure.
During n walk around the island [ then
learned that there are two kinds of
guano; or rather, that of certain quail
ties which all guano possesses. Some
of these qualities predominant in that
found in given locality, while guano
taken from islands aieferently lecatssd
possesses in much stronger de-
gree some other essentials. Thus the
guano of the islands off the coasts of
South America, exposed to the rays of
tropical sun, where the surface of the
land is never cooled and where rain
seldom or never falls, possesses the
strongest ammoniacal properties. Not
only the eNcretions of birds are depos
tied there, but the birds themselve,
come there to die; and eggs have fire
quently been taken out n little below
the crusts which form over these de
posts that are almost pure ammonia
The glano of these islands has a strong
pungent odor and is white and heh
brown in color. But the guano of tn,
islands of the Southern Pacific is mad,
up OF decomposed coral, forming mostly
phosphatcs Of lime and magnesia. 1t j,

NEW YORK, October, IA special
cabiegram from Dublin says: The Marquis
of Waterford in resigning the mastership
of the Curragmore hounds, said he did so
because League had been formed TO pre-
vent hunting throughout Ireland. When
he was hunting last Thursday the chapel
bells rang, the horn was blown and large
crowd of people gathered and stoned him
and his friends. They killed the dogs,
stabbed several of them with pitch forks,
and hooted and yelled till they compelled
the party to go home The Curraghmore
hounds are the finest pack in Ireland.
The Empress of Austria was to have hunt
ed with them this season. Between e5,,
600 and Fl, 200 will be lost to the neigh
borhood by the breaking up of the pack.
In Kildare the League has given notice
that if either the Marquis of Drogheda, the
Earl of Mayo. Lord Clanclarry, Mr.. Sohn
LaFouche, or Mr.. William Blacher appear
in the hunting field hunting, they will be
stopped. The above named gentlemen

In consequence of earnest appeals, James
is 10 remain in the Cabinet until after the
star route trials 1t is not improbable that
Window may hold on till December. Also,
that when James goes, President Arthur
can succeed Window by New Yorker;
unless james goes now the President will
feel obliged to choose WINDOWS successor
outside of New York.
There is much speculation with regard
to Cabinet changes. Window was asked
if his visit to the President had any con-
nection with his retirement lie replied
not, and that no official communication
on the subject had yet reached him. Judge
Folger and Ex-Governor Morgan, both of
New York, continue to be the most promi-
nently mentioned in connection with his
succession. There appears to be deep
ening impression that with the exception
OF changes in the Treasury Department
and the department of Justice, the present
executive officers will continue until De-

REPUBLICAN REPUTATION.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 12.-Governor Pillsbury
to-day sent to the Legislature message
on the bond question. 1t recites that the
old bonds are rapidly approaching matur
ity; that the act of last March for settle
ment has been declared void by the Su-
preme Court. and the matter is now in the
hands of the Legislature for settlement. 1t
declares that the honor of the state is con-
cerned in the payment of these bonds,
and calls attention to the fact that by the
acceptance of the plan now proposed by
the bondholders half the whole amount
due, 81 900. 900 will be saved. He earn
estly recommends the Legislature to re-
enact the bill of last winter accepting
Chanaberlain's proposition, and setting
aside stats bonds to pay these bonds.
