To FOretell the Weather.

If the sun sets in crimson clouds and
rises brilliant, or if the stars are numer-
GUS and bright, we know in general
way that we may reckon on a duration
of fine weather.
Dews and white morning fogs are
symptoms of clear days.
A dark and vapory sun, and sickly-
looking moon with blunt Lorns, and a
circle around her, or pallid, big and
non -scintillating stars, are all signs OF
approaching iains.
II the sun comes up pale and t, IN
turns red, or if the moon is large and
ruddy, With sharp, black horns, we may
count on wind.
The chickweed is called "the poor
nuns barometer" because it shuts up
its flowers when wet is approaching.
The aurora borealis, when very bright,
forebodes stormy, moist and unsettled
weather.
A haze around the sun indicates rain;
it is caused by fine rain or mist in the
upper regions of the atmosphere.
A halo around the sun hasoften been
followed by heavy rains.
A halo around the moon is also an in
dication of rain. The larger he halo
the nearer the wet spell.
Lack of dew is another rain sign.
Sharp, white frosts in autumn and
winter precede damp weather, and three
successive white frosts are an infallible
sign of rain.
Previous to rain the flies bite sharper
and stick to us closer, and bees remain
in the hive.
But few of the many signs that we
have briefly instanced only apply to the
immediate future, and have nothing to
do with the far seeing prophets whose
representations, also largely based on
natural causes, peer into future months
nay, years in advance.

The widest gauge railroad in exist

A subterranean forest was recently
uncovered at a depth of ten feet below

Some of the trees are of great size, and

readily distins uished.

These insects are not responsible for the
destruction of the trees, but simply for
fastening the process after it has been
begun.

gods and their offerings. Taken alto

rear of the temple. The body, which
had been forced into tub which re-
scmbled nothing more than "Sake

work and then covered with straw and
fagots. The executioner, for so we had
named him, then lit the straw, and sit
ting down commenced smoking his
pipe. As the body became heated it
began to expand, and finally the tub
burst. A horrible sight was the result.
The corpse--it was that of an adult
male-had been forced into such small
space that it was doubled mp in knot,

raised itself, then both legs, then the
other arm until, rs though still endow-

flesh burned and horrible stencil filled
the whole place. Sick, disgusted and
yet fascinated we gazed on the scene,
while the operator. leaving his pipe,
took long stick and rolled the body
back and forth 80 that it might burn
more evenly. The firing was kept up
till the body was entirely consumed.

On Saturday Hawlry, OF the Senate,

political purpose whatever, from any
officer or employee Of the United States,
