New York Times.
A great discovery in tho field Of
weather prophecy has recently been
made by Prof. Macgregor, Of the Royal
Society. The published records Of his
experience is extremely interesting, and
they certainly give us good reason TO
believe that satisfactory substitute for
the barometer has at last been found.
Prof. Macgregor tells us that his at
tention was attracted to tho use Of girls
for sciensifc purposes by overheariAg .
young lady remark that her ''bsng
would not keep crimped IN damp wealth
err Upon this hint he Immediately be.
gan q series Of experiments, stretching
over period ofeleven months and in
volving the use of3o7 girls. He began
by taking red-haired girl, with luxu-
rant bang, upon which he caused to be
crimped with great care on on evening
when the atmosphere was particularly
dry. The next morning the bang pre-
sented a beautifully "frizzed" appear
ance, but as towards the afternoon the
dir grew perceptibly foggy, the profess
sor expected that the bang would lose
its crimpidity-to use scientific term
II did nothing Of tho kind, and so far rs
he coulp see the state Of the atmosphere
had no effect on it.
Instead Of heing discouraged by this
failure, Prof. Macgregor persevered. IL
occurred to him that the color Of the
hair might be an important factor, and
that red hair might retain its Grim
pidity in circumstances where other
hair would lose that quality. he there
fore ordered from charity school three
dozen orphan girls Of from twelve to six
teen years of age, and Of assorted colors
in point Of hair. Twelve Of these
were black-haired, twelve were brown
haired, and twelve were red-haired. All
of these girls wore bangs and were in
every way well adapted for scientific
Investigations. by along series Of care
full experiments, he proved that on the
appearance of wet weather the bangs OF
the br0wn-bared girls, without excep-
tian, became limp and straight, that a
like effect was produced OH the bangs OF
ten Of the twelve black-baired girls,
while the red-haired girls were not a
particle Influenced either by the hu.
midity or tho dryness of the atmosphere.
Further experience upon the ladies OF
every age from sixteen to forty-fve gave
like results, and the conclusion that the
bang Of brown-haired girl is IN infalli.
bic indicator of the approach Of wet OF
dry weather, may DO unhesitatingly nc
copied. The professor also discovered
that red-haired girls also show pecu.
liar susceptibility TO electricity. When
q thunder storm is brewing their bangs
become STIFF and bristling, and in three
instances, when the professor tried to
smooth down bristling bang he receiv.
ed violent shock in the region Of the
ear. He is not prepared to say as YET
that tho presence Of the unusual amount
Of electricity in the air can always be
detected by the use of red-haired girls
but he is strongly inclined to think that
further investigation will prove that
such is the fact.
