PUZZLING WEATHER MEN.
They Are Asked TO Account for Daily
Showers From Coudess Sky.
Package of sulphur Said to Have Fallen
From the Sky Received Mt the signal Of
hce-Belief That the Sender Has Bet
ter Information as to Its Source

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-The officers Of the
Weather Bureau of the Signal Corps have
been advised of phenomena in North Car
oHno IN the shape Of rain from rloudess
Ky, and they are confronted with the co.
nundrum Why" and "Wherefors," Ac-
cording to reports from Charlotte, N c.,
at about three O'Clock in the afternoon,
they have daily shower and not cloud
III sight, Notwithstanding the fac. that
Sergeant Barry, at Charlotte, had ma36'
report to the Office confirming the re-
ports OF the phenomenal showers he
d!d not attempt TO explain, being com
plete!y mystltied, and none of the officials
here are disposed to offer an explana-
ton. They wanted to see it first before
they would even believe it. Re orts of
fall OF rain from cloudless sky are fire.

put none have been attended with the same
regularit, and peculiar circumstances as
the daily shower at Charlotte. When Ser.
Seant Barry witnessed the phenomenon II

toma y shower, but he waited until the
sun shone brightly, whn tho phe-
nomenal shower put in its appearances
The rain has for its central point two oak
trees in a yard in Charlotte, and oc-
casionally it moistens the earth for nearly
quarter Of an acre about them. The rain
can be seen falling from above the trees,
and upon Investigation the twigs and
leaves are found to be perfectly dry This
has been going on, it is said, for over three
weeks, Sergeant Barry's report, which
has just been received, was dated October
2lst, aud on that day he witnessed the
phenomena. From the absence Of further
information, the Weather Bureau here is
inclined to look with suspicion on the mat
ter, as so many wonderful things have
been reported which proved either untrue
or easily accounted for, This morning q
package containing sulphur was received
at the Signal Office from a man down
South who stated that it had fallen fr m
the sky during storm, and was gathered
by him and sent to Washington for expla
nation. Upon careful examination by q
powerful gloss the contents showed unmis
taxable signs of having been broken with Q
hammer, or some instrument Of that kind
leaving the impression that the sender was
bett r informed as to its source than h,

THE PEN MlCAN.
A Somewhat Peculiar But important Ar
tclc of Food In the Northwest.


The meat cut in long flakes from the
warm carcass of the buffalo and dried
in the sun, is afterward beaten into
shreds by ilails upon floor Of buffalo
hide on the open prairie. The hide is
then sewcd into a bag, the meat
iammed in, the top sewcd up all but
one corner, into which more meat is
crowded, and then the fat, which has
meanwhile been fried, is poured in
boiling hot, filing every crcyice. A
species of cranberry is often added
with the meat. The whole forms a
bolster.shapcd bag, as solid and as
heavy as stone, and in this condition
it remains perhaps for years, until
eaten. Each bag weighs from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty
pounds. One who has tried it will not
wonder that it was once used in the
turmoils of the contests between the
Northwest and Hudson Bay Companies
to form redoubt, armed with two
swivel guns.
We have two ways OF preparing this
.-one called "rub-a-hoo, when it Is
boiled in a great deal of water and
makes soup; the other more favorite
dish is rousseau when it is thrown
into the frying-pan, fried in its own
fat, with the addition. perhaps, of a
little salt pork, and mixed with small
amount of flour or broken biscuit. But
sometimes, when our philosophers are
hard put TO it, and forced to
take their meal in thc canoe, the penn
mican is eaten raw, chopped out of the
bag with a hatchet, and accompanied
simply by the biscuit, which has re-
ccived the sobriquet of "Red river
granite These wonderful objects, as
large as sea biscuit, are at least three
quarters OF an inch in thickness and
against them the naturalist S geological
hammer is always brought into requisi-

But the 'iniidel dish, as we termed
rousseau, is by comparison with the
others palatable, though it is even then
impossible to so disguise it as to avoid
the suggestion of tallow candles, and
this and the leathery, or India-rubbery
structure of the meat are its chief dis

lose its charms when taken as diet

Schwatka was in the city yesterday. He
has just etulIed from Alaska He said he
was quito amused at the controversy OF
two New York newspapers over his dscov
cry OF tho Jones river Alaska. "One
paper says there is no such river
went on the Lieutenant, 'and If there is
one it is M old one with new name
| am Just going to try aud catch the train,
el o | would show you the truth OF
my discovery, but you can say that the
Jones river is a new discovery; that | fol
lowed it for thirty miles; that it is not
down on any record or map, but that 1t
will be on every oilic. al III pof this coun-
try, and be recognized the world over"
Lieutenant Schwatka started out at the
head Of private expedition sept ou!
last Spring for Alaska. The mission was
of an exploring character purely, to
make an accent of Mt. St. Elias, which is
nineteen thousand and five hundred
feet high He had a party of about
twelve men with him, including In
dians and ALL MIR Schwatka said that the
expedition was entirely successful IN Its
object, or reasonably so; that they climbed
the mountain to the height OF seventeen
thousand two hundred feet, and were pre-
vented from going higher on account OF
the clouds Tho snow line is at the base OF
the mouutsin and several miles Of glacier
had to be traver.ed before tho party reach
ed the base prior to the ascent They were
four days i'll making the ascent.
