Hail

The formation Of hail is begun at
an elevation exceeding sixteen thou.
sand feet, in middle latitude. where
the temperature is considerably below
that Of melting ice, and the icy parti.
cles in falling join together, forming
larger ones, and thus the grcatc.t size
is attained below the height Of four
thousand feet. In the formation of
the hail two currents Of air invariably
have place.
Previous to the fall of hail the air
is hot and highly charged with moist.
ure. 4 cold current, rushing in, dis
places it and rapidly forces it upwards
to a great elevation, where it becomes
chilled and the vapor condensed.
There are thus two clouds informing.
ling, as it were, the one consisting Of
vapor condensed into water, with a
temperature near thirty-two degrees,
and in the other the vapor Is precipi.
tated in the form Of snow. with n TEN.
perature, it may be, as low az twenty
degrees. In front of the haiLcloud
the air is whirled rapidly around n
horizontal axis, causing the snow to
collect in small balls which, becoming
forced into the adjoining warmer
water.cloud, is coated with water Mt
the freezing point, which becomes con.
gealed by the cold Of the snow nucleus :;
and still the whirling motion continues,
and the rapidly.forming ball is whirled
through the snow-cloud and watery
cloud alternately with amazing rapid.
ity, and layer after layer of soft snow
and transparent ice are added, until,
in few minutes, a ball is formed. per.
haps as large rs three or four inches
in diameter. All the time the clouds
have been filling rapidly and are at
an elevation of about four thousand
feet when the hail escapes from the
vortex and falls to the earth.
The hail in falling makes a peculiar
cracking noise, which is heard by those
below some seconds before it reaches
them.
From the nature Of its formation
the fall Of hail must bo of short duFa.
ton, and generally lasts but from four
to ten minutes, and very rarely con.
tinues for so long as fifteen or twenty
minutes. 1t falls only at the begin.

Pacheco, of California I; Ex-Governor
Brown, of Tennessee; Ex-Governor
Brown, of Georgia, and others, equal
ly distinguished, are members OF VIM
dom's company. Their road is to run
across Northern Mexico, from gulf to
ocean, cutting through the silver coun-
try and tapping the numerous lines OF
road that run south from the United
States toward the City Of Mexico. The
number and magnitude of the Ameri-
can railway enterprises in Mexico is
quite astonishing. There are now four
lines being constructed from the Rio
Graude to the City Of Mexico, and
one from the City of Mexico south
ward to the borders Of Central Ameri-
ca. These are the north and south
lines.
Jay Goulds line runs farthest to
the East, and running from the Rio
Grandc to the City Of Mexico, along
the rich lands east Of the mountain
chains, will drain II rich country, and
have the advantage of connection with
Gould's great system Of this country.
Huntingdon's line, which runs paral-
lei with Gould's, but little farther
west, is also being pushed. The Rio
Grande is already bridged for con
ncction with the Huntingdon system,
and the line graded a couple OF hun
dred miles further south. a third
line, lying still west of Huntingdon's,
is largely owned by foreign capital.
Gen. w. j. Palmer, the President,
says he will be running through trains
to the City of Mexico in less than n
year. His line touches American soil
at Laredo, Texas.
The Mexican Central, which is to
run from FL Paso to the City of Mcxi-
co, through the table lands Of Central
Mexico, is also to be completed in
1881, according to the promises Of its
President, Thomas Nickerson, the late
President Of the Atchi-oR, Topeka IL
Santa Fc. To connect with all these
at the City Of Mexico, and extend
their traffic to the borders of Central
America, is General Grants line. The
English will find the field well occu-
pied aud 4 good many millions Of
American capital disputing their en-
trance into it.-Iimca.S'dr.

A Crazy and Dishonest Platform.

There is an extraordinary resolution
in the platform of the Pennsylvania re
publcans:
THAT any surplus in the public treas.
ury arising from n redundant revenue
should, after paying the national debt
as fast as its condition permits, be dis.
tributed from time to time to the scy
eral states upon the basis OF population,
to relieve them from the burdens of
local taxation and provide means for
the education Of their people"
The platform calls for an economical
administration Of the affairs OF the com
monwealth it contains not one word
IN favor Of an economical administra.
ton or the affairs OF the nation It
calls for the abolition Of oil taxes not
required for necessities Of the state gov
ernment; it says nothing about abolish
ing the taxes not required for necegsi.
ties Of the United States government.
II declares that fraud and waste must be
stopped at Harrisburg it is silent about
fraud and waste at Washington.
That is why We say the platform is
dishonest.

United States government over and

Nick Mcdowell, who, driving along
the street in his buggy one day, saw a
beautiful girl standing at the window
He Immediately stopped and hitchcd
his horse, rang the bell, inquired the
lady's name, was ushcrcd into the
parlor, announced his own name, said
he was pleased with her appearance
and wished to marry her at once
Nothing but the knowledge that she
was actually in the presence Of the
celebrated physician kept her from
fainting. To her plea Of surprise at
this unexpected announcement he only
replied, Now or never. When she
asked to lake q week to consider he
said, 4 am going down street to attend

spare right now.

area than is covered by the fall of hail.
Hailstoncs usually average from
one.thirteenth to one.sixth of an inch
in diameter, but have reached to up
wards of four inches. On May 9TH,

on August 18th, same year, hailstoncs
fell in New Hampshire weighing eight

make a sphere with a diameter of four
inches, and circumference Of twelve
and half inchcs--somc Of these cx.

the average depth Of hail was four
inches. This was exceeded by Il storm
which passed over the Orkncys, at the
North of Scotland, on July 9th, 1918,

tary Window goes to Europe in a few
days. 1t is intimated that portion
Of his time there will be devoted to
the Mexican railway enterprise, Of
which he is the head There is dim
suspicion that England, seeing how
rapidly American railway enterprises
were taking root in Mexico, has con.
cluded it wise to look after business
there, and this accounts for the renewal
of the relations between England and
Mexico, broken off years ago. The
controversy regarding Mexican bonds
held in England ia, it is said, about to
be satisfactorily terminated, and it is
expected that tidal wave" of British
capital will set toward Mexico.

after this, and his report on that sub.
