The fall of rain during the last quarter
of 1882 is the smallest for three months
ever known in this vicinity. Professor
Draper says that the rainfall has steadily
decreased since 1869 and he has secured
sufficient facts to give him confidence in
the theory that the fall of rain runs in cy-
cles of 60 years each. Statistics for the
last $50 years show that where the rainfall
would steadily increase from year to year
for period covering about 90 years, cor.
responding period would follow where each
successive year would witness a gradual
decrease in the amount of rain. The
maximum rainfall for the last cycle was
reached in 1865. Since then there has been
a constant decrease from year to year in the
amount of rain. Prof. Draper fears that the
effects of the scarcity of rain during the
last three months will be severely felt in
some parts of the country. The smallest
rainfall ever recorded in this city was in
1886, when the total amount for the year
was Oh inches. The fall of-rain during
the last three months of that year was,
however, considerably in excess of the
quantity which fell during the last quarter
of 1882 The figures for the last quarter
of 1886 are as follows October, inches ;
November, 9 inches December, 2.3
inches total, CO inches, as against 4 7
inches during the last quarter of 1882

MUMMY FLOWERS.

Several of the royal mummies discov-
cred last year at DER. -Bahari were, 1t
will be remembered, found garianded with
flowers, those flowers being for ths most
part in wonderful preservation. NJ. Arthur
Rhone, in recent letter to lie Temps has
described the extremely curious way in
which these gsrlands are woven. They
consist of the petals and sepsls OF various
flowers. detached from their stems, and
inclosed each in folded leaf OF either the
Egyptian willow (Sahr salsGJ) or the Nina
sops Kam4ael Bruce The floral ornaments
thus devised were then arranged in rows
the points being all set one way-snd
connected by means of thread of date
leaf fiber woven in kind Of chain stitch
The whole resembles coarse "edging
OF vegetable lace work. Among the flow
ers thus preserved are the bright blue
blossoms of the DeLphiaium orientGlis, or
larkspur the blue lotus, or NymphCEa
cgruiea the white of Nymph@d lotus,
with pink-tipped sepals; the blossoms OF
the .Ses5aaid 1Egyptjacd and the orange
hued' flower of tue Cartadmus tinctorias,
or saffIower, so largely employed as a dye
by the ancient inhabitants Of the Nile
valley. The dried fruit, az well as the
dried yellow blossom of the Acacia Nijotica
| is likewise present and mention is also
made of the blossom Of a species of
watermelon now extinct. The fore
going are all interviewer 10 the gsrlands
| in which the mummy of Amenhotep |.
was deliberately swathed. With Others of
| the royal mummies were found fine de-
tached specimens Of both kinds of lotus,
| the blue and the white, with stems, bios

zee EANFALL IN NEW YORK.

A remarkable fact in relation to the rain.
fall in this city is disclosed by the statis
tics compiled by Professor Daniel Draper,
az the Central Park Observatory, for his
annual meteorological statement. The to.
tai amount of rain that fell in New York
City during the last quarter of 1882 is
found to be but little more than one.third
Of the average rainfall in this vicinity for
the last three months of The past Al years.
The figures are as follows:
