STORMS AND CLOUD BURSTS.
Interesting Items cullcd from the Weather
Review OF the Signal Office.

Tho following interesting items have been
reported to Gen. w. B. Hazen, chief signal
officer, and appear in the weather review just
issued: a....... ..
Capt. Brooks, of tho steamship Arizona, re-
ported that he steamed through no less than
1900 miles of fog during recent voyage from
Queenstown to New York.
A hailstorm of thirty minutes duration
visited Essex, Iowa, and broke nearly all of
the window panes in the town. The hail
stones accumulated to depth of nearly five
feet on the windward sides of buildings.
Another hailstorm near Medicine Lodge,
Kan, killed a largo number of young calves.
A cloud burst occurred at Baldwin, Miss,
and an area of three and half miles of terri
tory was submerged with nine inches of water
in forty-ive minutes 1t was caused by two
large and dense cumuus clouds (or " thunder
heads") approaching each other from oppo-
site directions and commingling.
A beautiful mirage was observed on San
Francisco bay. Small schooners long dis
tance away appeared very large, and the ship
ping and ferry boats in the harbor appeared
with inverted images, one above the other.
A large and brilliant meteor was observed
at Keokull, Iowa, and although the sun was
shining brightly the body and luminous trail
were plainly visible. No cloud was observed
Mt its disappearance.
Another meteor passed over Fallston, Har-
ford county, Maryland, at night. 1t pro-
duced such a bright light that the smallest
objects on the ground were plainly visible.
During an earthquake at Turbo, on the
Gulf of Uraba, the earth opened and water
flowed out flooding the streets to depth of
two feet. Many houses were shaken down,
and small villages in that neighborhood COM
pletely engulfed.
A waterspout 100 feet in height was OBJ
served on Lake Monroe, Florida. 1t moved
several hundred yards and then disappeared.
Another large waterspout was observed by
the schooner Jennie N. Huddell at sea. 1t
had rotating motion, was funnel shaped,
and resembled smoke from q steamer.

uome Comrorts In Coren,

Official advices from Mr.. Foote, the newly
appointed United States minister to Corea,
state that he has taken up his residence in the
capital of that little known country, but that
life there is attended with many discomforts
and privations. The only house he has been
able to obtain is a rude one Of wood and
paper with paper windows, and is situated in
an undesirable location in the midst of novels
and filth. The climate Is one marked by
great extremes of heat and cold. The only
fuel obtainable consists of the boughs of Pine
trees, and everything in the shape of food
except the simplest necessaries Of life has to
be brought there from abroad

she cannot run, in a snort time she

exhibit no temper. Never strike her;
she must first of all get acquainted with

She must learn not to fear you. When

The New York Times says "This is
an age of great fortunes. Never before
in the history of the Republic have
there been so many men who are very
rich. OF course this term has a purely
relative value. One who might have
been very rich' in 1912 would not be
accounted rich at all with the same for
tune in 1882. But the number of men
who are worth, say, ten millions or more
is far greater now thsA ever before
since the foundation Of the Americ an
Republic. These fortunes have been
made in various ways. Here in New
York our richest men are, or nearly all
have been, spectators in railway Sc.
curities. There are three or four es-
tates, the property Of old New York
families, held together by family I'M
