Damage Already Done.


San Francisco, 3.-The rain con.
tinues throughout the northern and
central portion of the state, extending
from the Sierra Nevadas to the
Pacific Ocean. The rainfall increases
az the storm continues. The rain
was heavy in Shasta, to day, falling
at the rate of one inch an hour.
Several cloudbursts occurred in that
county, doing considerable damage
out fortunately no lives were lot.
No approximation OF the losses
there can De made at present.
Dispatches from Sierra County
say that both the north and south
forks of the Yuba River, have been
unpreoedentedly high for the last
twenty four hours, and the treshet
will reach Feathern River some time
tonight. The situation at Sacra.
mento is critical, and tomorrow may
see the plsce under water. The
American River is rising fast and
the Sacramento River slowly, ard as
the country oil around Sacramento
city is now under water, the immense
floods coming from Upper Sacramento,
Yubs and American Rivers, it is
feared, will be enough to overflow the
levees that surround that place. 4

In our solar system we have only
the earth, possibly Venus, and, it
may be, some of the satellites.
Enthusiasts who make a special
study Of sun-spots and attendant
phenomena believe that the corner
stone of q new science is now being
laid by the discovery of an init
mate connection between terres-
trial storms and activity Of the
heated gases surrounding the sun.
just what the connection is they
are not yet able to clearly define,
although electricity is suspected Of
being the agent through which the
effects are manifested upon our
planet. 1t is known that the
gaseous envelope of the sun is
affected by eruptions Of such pro
digious magnitude as to be utterly
beyond our power of conception,
these disturbances appearing to us
in the form of rapidly changing
spots on the solar disk. The spots
come and go at remarka bly, regular
intervals, a complete cycles Of the
various stages of activity from
maximum to minimum and again
to maximum being performed IN
about eleven years-the so-called
"sun-spot period" The present
year has been one of great solar
commissions, and sun-spot physicists
have been taking measures to verify
their theories that sun-storms pro
Once marked effect upon the
earth and its inhabitants. Their
views seem to be strongly confirmed.
While the present has been a year
of violent terrestrial storms and
earthquakes, these scientists claim
to have proven by simultaneous
observation a correspondence be-
tween minor meteorological phe
nomena and changes upon the sun.
The eminent meteorological, Prof.
Piazzi Smith, Astronomer Royal
for Scotland, with many others, are
of the opinion that the state Of the
sun will some day become an i'm
portant factor in weather forecasts
and similar calculations.
A new theory of the so-called
fascination Of birds by snakes is
that the bird mistakes the snakes
tongue, which the reptile keeps in
constant motion, for lively worm,
and watches it with the expecta-
ton of devouring it.

The SHORT CORN CRoP.-Our
exchanges from all parts of the
United States confirm the report
that the crop has been cut short
by the drouth. The failure in Lou
isiana so far as we have seen, is not
due so much to the drouth as to
shallow blowing in the preparation
of the land and close crowding of
stalks in the drill. We have seen
a few fields of corn which were
planted early on deeply broken
ground and thinned out to a single
stalk, 80 inches apart, which have
not suffered from the drouth. We
have proven to our own satisfac-
ton that subsoiling, proper thinning
and shallow cultivation will make
a good crop of corn in both wet and
dry seasons. Three fourths Of the
planters of Louisiana persist in
planting their corn too quickly, on
badly prepared ground, and large
number leave two stalks in hill.
The result in this climate, if the
season is favorable is a crop of
6 nubbins;" if the drouth comes,
nothing but stalks. It is too late
to amend our agricultural sins Of
omission this season, but they
should be remembered next spring
when the blowing for the new crop
begins.-[N. o. Democrat.
