The Weather.

This is by all odds the most able
weather that has ever visited Car
son during the present month.
This paper does not usually use
such strong language, but there ap-
pears to be general feeling in the
community that some swearing has
to be done by some newspaper of
large circulation. A snow storm
may be expected at and time. If
the weather gets any worse, the
APPEAL is ready to take a contract
to curse the weather at 5 cts a square
for the following fiscal year.

The Keely Motor.

NEW YORK, June 10.-The Times
reviewing recent experiments Of the
Keely motor, says the latest tests
of Keely's motors, run by etheric
vapor, have not been of a character
to increase public confidence in the
reality OF his pretended discoveries
The actual discovery of a new mo-
tor of the capability which Keely
claims for his etheric vapor would
be promptly followed, we may be
sure, by its utilization. Keely
seems to be content with expert
ments and with occasional exhibi
tions Of his apparatus. Keely is
undoubtedly q humbug.

Billings today, and gave him judg-

Some one the other day asked how
there could be any chance for frost unless
the mercury fell much below 40 degrees
~ degrees being the freezing point for
water Very possibly others may have
had the same question in mind. foI it is
common to say that II the mercury goes
below 40 degrees there will be frost The
explanation is, of course. that at Tia, sur
face of the ground II is colder. The earth
loses heat rapidly by radiation, aud tue
evaporation from the moist ground helps
reduce It's temperature so that the frost.
which means frozen vapor of water and
implies IA temperature of more than ~
degrees where the frost is found my and
often does occur when Thermometers nung
In any ordinary exposure show neatly 10

In a general way ii is reckoned that the
difference OF temperature between the
surface of the ground at night and point
n few feet above it Is < degrees or 10
degrees. A difference of - degrees has
