THE PROBLEM.

Last Thursday Capt. Jas. N.
Lipscomb made short but pithy
speech at the Fair, and he struck the
keynote when he said that the man
for whom we are looking now, is
not the farmer VINO can make the
greatest number Of bales Of cotton
to the acre, but who can produce a
bale of cotton at the least possible
cost. He thinks, justly too, that the
premium should be awarded to the
man who succeeds in teaching the
country how to produce cotton at
four cents when the selling price is
ten cents. There is no doubt that
the real question with our farmers
is how o obtain a satisfactory yield,
and at the same time keep the cost
of production within proper limits.
In spite Of all that we may say, we
are obliged to admit that we cannot
control the selling price of cotton
and we cannot reasonably expect
the price to rise far above ten cents.
The aim of the farmer should be,
therefore, to diminish the cost Of
production /; that he can control, to
very great extent. Another sug-
gestioa Of Capt. Lipscomb's is
worthy Of attention-the suggestion
that more care should be devoted to
the production OF grain, hay and
vegetables.

STILL ANOTHER FATALLY DE-
sTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKE.

CoSsTANT1NoPLE, October IL
1t is reported that much damage to
property and great loss OF Life has
been caused by the earthquakes on
the peninsular between Chesme, IN
Asia Minor opposite the island OF.
Chios, and Tourda on the southern
cost of the Gulf of Smyrna. All
the villages in that region have
been destroyed, and it is believed
that upwards of one thousand per-
sons persisted. The survivors OF
the disaster are suffering fearful
priyations, and complete panic
prevails among them. Most of the
houses collapsed at the first shock,
burying their inmates. The people
who escaped became panic-stricken
and sought the fields, where many
are still huddled together in stary-
ing condition and suffering from
cold. Help for the stricken people
is going forward from Smyrna. The
Porte has issued notices stating
that twenty thousand persons are
homeless, and pleading fol. immedi-
ate assistance. A government COM
mission will start as soon as posi-
BILE to aid the local officials. The
report that one thousand persons
perished is confirmed.

Scotland, and, indeed, the whole British isles
oven are not large enough to study practical
mctcorology in--might as well attempt to
study our tidal system on an inland sea. As
before remarked, and as often stated in THE
REPUBLICAN, aside from tho regular
changes from summer TO winter,
our cool weather is tho result
of the positions of "high" and "low" q. c.,
high and low barometer). Low" on a low
line Il. O., the area of low barometer on low
limo of latitude-say, south Of Mason and
Dixon's linc) will cause It TO bo cold, for tho
reason that the wind being toward "low"
there will be north winds
Tho second cause for q cool spell (such Ms
wo have had considerable of this summor) is
the presence of "high," which is the atmos-
pheric hill. No warm air can como toward
"high'-no moro than water can run up hill;
and for q similar reason that the terrestrial
hill must be dry, the atmospheric hill must bo
cool.
If tho wise mon of the land would begin to
SEQ and understand tho wisdom revealed by
tho weather map they would pay little heed
to the great meteorologsts of Europe" and
their commonplace compilations. In this
wonderful map thoy would begin TO see u
greater revelation, and one that will bo Of
incstimable profit and pleasure to them.

THE POTOMAC REGATTA.
Active Preparation for the Rowing Com
tests TO Take Place Next Month.


The Washington regatta having passed of
so successfully, and having afforded so much
enjoyment to the many in this city who take
great interest in boating, the thoughts of all
are now turned to the Potomac regatta, which
will take place over the same course on
Wednesday, Sept. 26 under the auspices of
the Analostan and Potomac Boat clubs.
The events, as now arranged, are eleven in
number, and will probably be increased.
They arc as follows: Race for eight-oared
shells; trophy, Washington Light Infantry
cup, nine gold medals and champion Poto-
mac river regatta colors. Race for senior
four-oared Shells trophy, the Daily Post cup,
four gold medals, and championship Potomac
river regatta colors, Four-Oared light
weight shell crews: trophy, silver cup, four
gold medals, and Potomac river regatta
colOrs. Four-oared shell, junior crews; four
gold medals and champion Potomac river
regatta colors Four-oared shell consolation
race, four gold medals and Potomac river re-
gatta colors. Race for four-oared gigs; four
gold medals and champion Potomac river re-
gatta colorS. Race for senior singles; gold
medal Junior single race; gold medal.
Special single race for District of Columbia
scullers; gold medal. Consolation single race;
gold medal. Double scull race; gold medals.
The various cups will become tho property of
the clubs winning them in three consecutive
annual races.
Tho joint committee are already in receipt
of numerous inquiries regarding the entries
of prominent crews from different sections Of
the United States and Canada, some of those
from the latter place expressing great de-
sire to visit Washington, and wishing Co make
this regattasthe occasion of their visit. The
committee are putting forth great efforts
to make this successful affair, and
the number and kind of races, and beauty
and value of the various trophies will far
exceed those given ut the late Newark
regatta. Mess. Gait & Bro. are now making
up the cups, medals, &C., which, when COM
pleted, will be placed on exhibition in their
windows.
The joint committee, as at present consti-
tuted, is composed of Messrs. w. Il. and l..
McKennoy and Flowers, of the Analostans;
Austin Herr, $. +. WheAtley, and George
Johnston, of the Potomacs but in view of
the amount of work to bo performed, tho
committee will probably be increased in num-
hers.

More About the Weather.


In THE REPUBLICAN of the thirteenth in
slant was an article ON the weather copied
from the New York Herald The writer asks
if there is law of thermal fluctuations ?'
1t is natural for the human mind to seek for
law and to endeavor to ascertain tho work.
ings of the laws which govern nature, but it
must not expect to find nature regular or
similar in all things; irregularty or diver
sity is as much n law of nature as regularity
and sameness We SEQ that all nature
oboys the one law as much as the other.
In tho topography of the earth's surface
diversity is the rule, and but for this di-
versity We would undoubtedly have regu-
larity and sameness in our meteorological con-
ditions but the contrary we see is the law.
Our weather system more resembles the
movements of the Kaleidoscope than anything
else that we can compare il with, and the
Kaleidoscope, with its infinite variety, cannot
possibly surpass tho variety of nature But
IL seems as though men were determined to
find system of regularity Of storm and sun
shine.
Before the advent of the weather ma this
Yves not to be wondered at, but with the en-
lightenment of the past ten years ID is sur
prising that wise men should continue on this
inc.
This has been the "Weather Prophets"
hobby, but We SEQ what II miserable failure
1t is. OF course for some one locality there
is hit once in while, but even the most
favorable hit will not extend over much
territory.
Tho writer in the New York Herald speaks
of the late cool weather. but gives no reason.
To write such an article and not mention the
reasons would seem be equivalent to not having
knowledge of them. He refers to a great
Scotch meteorOlogist and his laws in regard
to temperature.
We have equal and similar data here at the
Smithsonian Institute, and from them more
than from any other ono source have the
weather prophets" relied for their ability To
forecast the weather. But practically these
tables are Of no value in the case. Again,
