THE New England Meteorological Society
proposes to find out this summer all it can
about thunder storms, and to that end invites
observers in every town in New England to
unite in marking the leading features of such
storms as come within thei ken, and report
to headquarters. The simplest data are such
as can be gathered by any One-the time rain
begins to fall, direction of the wind, duration
OF ram, etc while more delicate ana difficult
observations, such as the height of the storm
clouds, character of lightning flashes. and
velocity of wind, are to be undertaken by
specialists.
The Japan Mail has a long notice of a new
theatre called "Chitose," zone thousand
years." which has just been opened in Toxic.
II has several improvements on the regular
Japanese theatres, but the HdH notices that
1.-THE scenery is of little merit, according to
usage; while the costumes, also according to
usage, are invariably excellent, and often
superb The Mail does not attempt to eX-
plain this inconsistency. 1t is the same in
Chinese theatres; the actors wear the most
costly and beautiful dresses, and are care
fully disguised and made up, while the seem
cry on which they play Is sordld and map
prOprlate TO degree.
AUSTRALIA is by no means destitute of
rivers. The Murray is larger than the Dan
ube, being navigable l, ZIG miles in New South
Wales and 5S7 in South Australia. The Ed
wards and the WakoOl tributaries of the Muir
ray are together navigable for 400 miles; and
the Murrumbdgee, another tributary, is
naviga BILE 800 miles. The Darling is naVigdbe
for Los miles from Wentworth, where il joins
the Murray, to " algett in the North, making
in all LA miles of inland navigable waters in
this colony. and making the navigable water
IN one line from Walgett to Wentworth Los
miles, thence 10 the sea 1877, or IN all 2.345
miles. so that the Darling stands third
amongst the rivers of the world, estimated by
their navigable length.
A FUNERAL in st. Pauls Cathedral is not
only a rare event. bat it is also an exceed
ingy costly homer. The fees paid by the cor
poratiOn Of London for burning the late Lord
Mayor in the Cathedral were about $4,000.
When royal funeral takes place at Windsor,
| the preliminary fee to the Dean and Chapter
''for breaking the ground" Is $1,000. This
item is the more unreasonable inasmuch as
the royal vault is not under st. Georges
Cha, ell, and no ground Is broken. the only
disturbance being the temporary removal of
certain slab on the hOOro of the choir in order
that the coffin may be lowered INTO the vault
beneath, whence it is wheeled along pas
sage 10 the royal tOmb-house, underneath the
Albert Memorial Chapel.
THE understanding among the troublesome
Indians was that on Red Clouds return a
new agent was to accompany him, and in case
a new agent did not come the Indians would
no longer sustain Red Cloud IN his opposition
TO the schools, the government. and progress
A private dispatch saws that Red Shirt, Torn
/ Belly, and Calico are sub-chiefs hitherto
prominent in uphOldinZ Red Cloud and the
fact that Red Shirt did not attend Red Clouds
lOcaI council, and was consequently Thrown
away or depnsed rs sub-chief, and that
Calico md Torn Belly made "splendd
speeches"-i. l., speeches in favor OF the gov
trnmeut-indicatest that Red Clouds support
is leaving him, and he will rapidly take his
proper place among the minority as a relic Of
former barbarism and non progressiveness.
