Nature reports an attempt recently made
by Herr LiEnar, of the Austrian Meteorolo-
gical Society, to determine the daily course
of cloudinesS over different parts of the
earth's surface. In most places there are two
maxima and two minima in the day. Liz
mar distinguishes four types: 1. A maxi
mum about midday minimum in the even
ing; tnis occurs, e. g., at Madrid (the maxi
mum in summer becomes as late as 2. M. }
3 A maximum in the morning and min
imum at midday; this is found at Los
Angeles, on the plateau of the Rocky Noun
tains. 3. Two maxima and two minima
the chief maximum in the morning, and the
chief minimum in the evening, this type
being met with in Vienna in winter and au-
tumn, and in Bombay. A. Two maxima and
two minima, but the chief maximum about
midday and the chief minimum in the even
ing; this is the case at Vienna in summer
and spring. The greatest amplitude of cloud
mess appears at the stations on the Rocky
Mountains plateau. the sky being sometimes
quite covered with clouds in the morning
and quite clear few hours later. 1t is curl
Gus that the Sherman Station has cloudi-
ness exactly opposite in its course to that OF
Los Angeles This meteorological element,
perhaps, deserves more consideration than
il has hitherto received.

Tirle dug for the Old Years tomb,
And laid my dead beside il
(FOr the sexton gave me room.
Twas q skeleton form OF sorrow
At last buried away;
1t had stalked through my souls castle,
And haunted me many a day.
And then. as peered down deeper,
i saw there yet was space
For a grudge that long had shadowed
My hearts most sunny place;
And cast the blighting burden
In the grave where il belonged,
As / said. There are fates more bitter
Than to be the one who is wrOnged."
And down on the lid of the coffin
Laid a vain regret
For a time and pleasure vanished,
For day whose sun was set;
And Just as the tomb was closing,
flung in a selfish thought,
To lie in the dark and molder,
And perish as it ought.
And while the bells were ringing
Their midnight chimes. i said:
S'Since good endureth forever,
Let the dead year bury its dead"
And then. like radiant angel
Outlined in the skies above,
With the glad New Year in his bosom
saw the Spirit of Love.
And he spake: ''It is only sorrow
And sin and folly that dies;
Whatever was good in the Old Year
In the soul OF the New Year lies.

Look up, for the stars are truel.
