The weather for the past few months
has be source of much annoyance to the
public generally. as well as the cause of fl
nancial distress to the agricultural portion
of the west.
This leads many to suppose that Hszen'
the present head of the United State Signal
Bureau is not able to manage the weather
in good style They attribute the past
winter with it's excessive and unprecedented
SHOWS, the spring and It's concomitant
freshets, to poor management on the part
of the weather bureau. Now the drought
and its resulting distress causes well
grounded belief that to have good weather
we must make change in the department
of government whose duties consist III
warning the public of the approaching
storm as well as the continued sunshine.
Vennor, the Canadian weather prophet,
is the man whose presence in this country
is deemed necessary, before we can enjoy a
change in the atmospheric elements. Ven
nor can't do worse than Hazen, and there
fore change in that Office may result il
much good.

WILL THE POPE LEAVE ROME
From the st. James's Gazette. Aug l.


A public meeting was held in Rome yes
terday to protest against the laws which
guarantee his palaces to the Pope. 1t was
presided over by a man who had spent six
teen years in the Papal prisons. When
the meeting approached the resolution,
agents of the Government interfefed and
prevented its being read. The Chairman
said the people knew its purport, and
putting it to the meeting, it was carried by
the unanimous voice of 5000 persons
Serious proposals have been made lately
| that the Pope should transfer the seat o.
the Holy See to America, where an indie
pendent position would be assured him
In the Vatican Councils it is considered al
most impossible that the Pope should leave
Europe; but the proposal has been noted
| and will be taken into consideration witt
others if the Pope should eventually decld'
to leave Rome. Most of the powers arr
understood to have expressed the opinion
that the Pope should not leave Rome.

The vice president becomes the Presl-
dent absolutely and not Professionally in
case of the death of the President. Death
is one of the enumerated conditions in the
constitution whereby '.the powers and du-
ties of the said office devolve upon the
vice president"
The first instance of the vice president
succeeding to the Presidency by death was
John Tyler. At that time an extra session
was called, which convened on the 31st OF
Nav, 1s41 During the extra session the
following from the Congressional GLOBE

that only 1.-THE powers and duties of the Office de

Mr. Wise answered..
HE was glad the point had been raised becaus
the vote on the amendment would settle the rela

the present incumbent would claim the position tina
he was bv the Constitution by election. and By tn

Rock Island, as city, may not be con
sidered complete success; for 10! these
many moons it has been Flooding along
towards eternity without a fun and COM
plete board of health.
At the commencement OF the present
fiscal year the Mayor nominated the
members for that departmet. OF these nom
inees four were physicians and one was an
ordinary citizen.
The four physicians were divided among
themselves, three being advocates of large
doses and one follower of the little pill
system. The former refused to serve on
the ground that they considered the efficl-
ency of the board was decreased by the
absence of a lawyer and the appointment
OF four physicians. This fact was
well known and yet the mayor allows
several weeks to elapse without supplying
the vacancies with new appointees. A
board of health is needed as badly in Rock
Island at the present time as in the past,
and why the mayor should ignore that de-
partment is question not easily answered.
Two of the members appointed last spring
qualified and are ready to work, but being
q minority of the membership, they are
unable to act in any official capacity. II
viii only require the appointment OF an
other member to make the commission q
legal body, and there is no good reason
why such appointment should not be
made. 1t is certainly to be hoped that
move will be made in that direction with
out delay.

STEERING SHIPS By ELECTRICITY
From Engineering


A patent has recently been taken out
for means of steering ship by electric
ity. The apparatus is the invention of Mr.
w. F. King, an Edinburg electricion, and
wasrecently tried on board a ship sailing
between Glasgow and London Its object
is to dispense with he1msman, and make
the compass itself steer the ship. ForAthis
purpose the compass card is fitted with an
index which is set to the true course, and
one degree on either side of the true course
two metal contact pins are adjusted; each
pin is connected to single Daniel cell, and
when the ship deviates as much as degree
from her course to one side or the other
the index comes into contact with one OF
other metal pin. The result Is that posi-
tive or negative current flows and actuates
a hydraulic apparatus which works the
helm

1t is surprising how many good features
and traits are now seen by administration
papers in Chester A. Arthur, vice-presi-
dent of the United States, since the recov-
cry of President Garfield has been given
up.
They forget that he (Arthur) was turned
out of office for iEcompeteney and venality
They desire him to forget that they ever
were opposed to the Stalwarts and in IA

servable in politics; that he will run for
governor next year and president in 1884.
OF course he will be elected. We have

say the failure to nominate him was mis-
take, because with him as a candidate the
business scare would have been impossible

Tunis.

From our window there is charm
ing spectacle Of flat roofs, white domes
and minarets, here and there touched
with pinky light. A sluggish breeze
fitfully rustles among the leaves of
palms and bananas surrounding the
hotel and lazily plays among the avn
ings which still hang along the bal
comics, on which visitors to the hotel sit
waiting for the dinner-gong; while the
natives may be seen basking in the
cool, brief twilight on the low, fiat
rooted houses, among which rise here
and there in solitary grace palm tree,
and, alone in its proportions, the mas
sive outline of the city mosque. On
the minarets of the mosque mysteri-
GUS lamp is lighted; a dim figure with
uplifted hand, as from a great pulpit,
calls to the four quarters of the heav-
ems. Dreamy silence, mystic twilight
and air of miserable melancholy such
are the first impressions on setting
eyes on this immense city. Good
Words.

From detailed accd( No OF the
method of producing colored photo
graphs, given in the Photographic
Ne,cs, itappears that two impressions
are taken from the negaai~c, the first
being weak impression, in. order to
give the outline for guiding the appli-
cation of the coloring, and the second,
after the colo rs have been spilled, be-
ing an impress sion Of sufficient strength
to give the Gle ar drawing, lights and
shadows, and details of the picture.
The first impression is colored with a
hair pencil in vegetable colors, the
various colors being laid on smoothly,
fatty and lightly, without any regard
to shading or soflening of, but bright
er than they are intended lobe finally.
The colors are specially prepared, and
contain a large proportion Of albumen,
which enables them to be fixed by i'm
mersion in alcohol. This picture is
ag ain albumenizcd and selsitized, and
undergoes a second exposure under the
negative (Which requires careful adj
justment), u much stronger impression
being obtained, and theHcture is then
finally fixed, and can BIO enameled if
desired.

A Boy 8 idea Of Heaven.

The two little sons of noted Brook
Ign clergyman engaged in a discussion
on heaven and the probable occupation
of the ransomed who are to dwell
there. Johnny asked Jimmy If he
supposed they would have apples in
heaven, to which Jimmy replied that
he supposed they would, for the tree
of life was to bear twelve manner of
fruits, and he saw no reason why APP
pies should not be among them. The
inquring johnny then suggested diff
fculty about the cores. and said he was
afraid boys would not be allowed to
throw them on the golden pavements.
Jimmy medtated n few moments, and
then said that way out Of this diff
Guilty appeared plain 10 him. lie tnld
johnny that they could 80 to the edge
of heaven, and lean over The wall and
throw the cores down to tho people on
earth. I'VE are told" continued JIM
my, 'that we shall have great many
pleasures in heaven, and don't see
why that shouldn't be one Of them"
Although the conclusion arrived at by
these lads was not exactly such az
would have been reached by more ma
ture theologians, it was not wider OF
the mark than are the opinions which
IRE sometimes gravely pronounced by
the learned concerning the condition
and employment Of tho just in tho
world Of glory.

The Rags Of a Nation.

A Chicago rag dealer estimates that
each of the 50000,000 people of the
United States discards an average of
five pounds Of clothing yearly. which
makes 250,000.000 pounds for the
whole. Then, he says. there ate the
tailoring establishments, big and little,
whose cuttings are not much less in
quantity, in the aggregate, than the
cast off clothing of the nation ut large,
while their quality as rags Is greatly
superior. Then there are carpets and
bedding and curtains, and other domestic
articles of cloth OF some kind which
make up a goodly bulk in the course of
a year. These different articles COM
bincd make up another 250.000,000
pounds of cloth material, which has
been discarded from use, and which
eventually finds its way into the rag
mans bale. His estimate is that ono
hundred carloads Of rags enter and
leave Chicago daily.

The Wrong Box,

A pleasant story is going the round
of the Paris clubs at the expense of the
Count and Countess de M. The
lady is not only classed among the
fashionable beauties of the day, but
her name is always to be found on the
list of subscribers to those charitable
Institutions which are supported by The
contributions of the aristocracy. The
count is an excellent sportsman, con-
sidering that no garden party is COM
plete without, the music of the hunting
horn and q paper hunt The count
and countess invited a number of
friends to take part in picnic and pa
per hunt to take place on their estate,
and the host decided that luncheo
should be spread at q certain spot in
the middle of the forest, where the
death was to be sounded and the hon
ors done to the winner He ordered a
sumptuous Luncheon, giving Paris
house carte 6lanGe, and gave instruc-
tons that the case containing every
thing should be sent by a certain train
to the station, where it would be called
for by his men, who had orders to take
it on to the appointed spot. The hunt
took place, and the count and his
friends, hungry as they should be, ac-
cordig to the cid saying, were delight
ed to find that the case containing the
luncheon arrived at the point of meet
ing with them. Ladies were helped
off their horses, and everyone prepared
to do honor to the banquet. The case
was opened; but to the dismay of every
one the contents had been changed by
some vexatious spirit, into socks, stock
ings, nightcaps, blankets, and under
clothing of every kind. When the
first disappointment had been got over
by hungry men, there was a roar of
laughter, and the countess explained
that mistake must have been made
in the cases, as the things which had
been served up to appease the appetiles
of the chaSSeu,S had been bought by
her for her poor, and the case contain
ing the provisions had been left at the
railway station by the carlessness Of
