Solar and Terrestrial Weather

The recent warm spells of weather and
the remarkably low pressures over the
country, seem to be due to some excess
of solar heat. There is one question
anon scientists whether the maximum
activity of the sun, rs evinced by his
huge mysterious spots, is now impen-
ding or past. But there can be no doubt
that since the middle of 1882, when Pro-
fessor Facchini at Rome noted a marked
increase in the number of spots, the
forces of combustion on the SUMS sur
face have been unusually active.
In the current number Of the North
American Review, Professor Balfour
Stewart gives some strong reasons for
concluding that during q period of max
imum spottedness the sun is sending the
earth maximum supply of heat-"that
the magnetical and meteorological pro-
cess Of the earth are most pro-
nounced when there are most sun spots
and this would seem to indicate that the
SUMS radiation is stronger on such oc-
%casions. This view in conformity with
direct solar observation and with all OBJ
servations OF terrestrial weather changes
on a large scale yet recorded.
This conclusion of Professor Stewart
has far more than a scientific interest,
for if it is correct, and this sun-spot
maximum is not past, we may hope for
an early improvement on the lnclem-
emit seasons of of 1883. The first effect
of M exceptional radiation Of solar heat
on the earth would be felt in excessive
evaporation of the oceans and conse-
quent excessive cloudiness and rainfall,
involving an unusual amount of cold,
dreary weather. But this would after
ward give way to clearer skies and
more genial seasons.
More than a month ago the Herald
pointed out that the probabilities were
in favor Of a milder autumn on the east
ern side of the country than the COM
paratively cold summer, and especially
its closing weather. indicated. This
forecast is apparently being 0 real
lied. October's maximum heat in this
locality has exceeded eighty degrees
(on the 18th inst.) which is the highest
temperature recorded here SO late in
this month. with but two exceptions,
since 1873. The present meteorological
conditions over the country, and so far
rs known, in the West Indies, increase
the probability that this forecast will
yet be more fully veritied.-New York
Herald.

S~eIf-Iimitation of Diseases.

Once, when one cut bis finger, he
thought to cure the wound by putting
on some healing balsam. As matter
offact, It would have healed just as soon
and well if bound up at once in its own
blood and thus simply protected from
dirt.
The power to heal belongs to our
physical organization, So, too, many q
roison fails to cause death simply be-
cause the system, by its W estab.
lished method of working, gets rid of
the poison through the various elm
mating organs, and then repairs what
ever of harm may have been done. In
some cases the only object of the reme-
organs to special activity, or to sustain
the system while the elimination is 60

cures itself in a few ~days-often in spite
of the nostrums taken. Give a typhoid
patient abundance of pure air, sponge
his body frequently with a little soda
and water. to reduce heat, and keep up
his strength with a milk diet, and in the
great majority of cases he will recover
without a spoonful of medicine. Shall
we get along, then, without a doctor?
No; for the case might prove to be ons.

We would merely impress ON our

A similar limitation was affirmed,
even in respect to brain diseases. can

doctors at recent meeting. One said that
members of his own family were living
at an advanced age who, in earl Ter life

years ago a patient of his-whose BROTH

She Wouldn't Knock.

Those who are familiar with the habit
of Southern negroes of entering a room
without knocking-a habit which no
amount of correction seems able to
eradicate-will appreciate the following
from Texas Siftings:
Mrs. Yerger. a short time ago, hired a
new servant. On the first day that the
new COOK and wash-lady assumed her
duties, she walked deliberately into
Mrs. Yerger's room without knocking.
Mrs. Yerger was making her toilet.
"What do you mean by coming into
my room when l am undressed?"
"You is so particular bout bein' dress

There is reason to believe that more
cases of dangerous and fatal diseases are
gradually engendered annually by tie
habit Of sleeping in small, unventilated
rooms than have occurred from a chol.
era atmosphere dnringany year since its
appearance in this country. Very many
persons sleep in eight by ten rooms,
that is, in rooms the length and breadth
of which multiplied together, and this
again multiplied by 10 for the height of
the chamber, would make just 800 cubic
feet. while the cubic space for each, &C.

is required. Four thousand feet of air
every hour! And yet there are multi-
tudes in The city Of New York who
sleep with closed doors and

do not contain 200 cubic feet of space,
and that l 600 feet is to last all night, at

The Canadian woods are ready to be
drawn upon, and wise uses of the eppor-
tunities they supply viii allow our own
forests to be gradually thinned out and SO
made to last for ages. There is great
danger of the total destruction of the
forests around the head waters of the Mis-
sissippi. and Missouri rivers and their
affiuents, and the sincerest protection is to
allow foreign woods to be drawn upon
without restriction by legislation in this
country The nation is not called upon to
protect the forests of Canada or other out
side localities at the expense of its own.
