Decay of the Signal Service.

The meteorological work of the signal office began in 1870, when an appropriation of $15, 1000 was made for it. Instead of $15,0O a year, the meteorological work of the signal office now costs $900,00O, and has cost as much as $1,00O,OOO. In eighteen years, and with such liberal expendi- lures of money, this service ought to have increased, not only in the extent of its operations, as it has done, enor- mously, but in the character of it's weather predictions. But such im- provement has not been made, at least not to the extent that it ought to have been. The public have found this out, and, being more critical than former ly, as they have right to be, com plain when they suffer in health, con- fort or pocket through faiure of the predictions to be verified. Why is 1t that while the percentage of success ful indications in 1883 was 89. 1 it was in 1887 only 7S.9, or, allowing for the fact that predictions are now made thirty-two hours in advance, instead of twenty-four as formerly only S0,91 --Science.

ation among the savages, asked per mission to address the council. His adroitness in touching the Indians vanity, and promising them a liberal allowance of rum and tobacco, won their consent to Kenton's removal to Detroit, where, although confined as a prisoner of war, he felt secure against any further Indian barbarities. He finally, after a captivity of about eight months, succeeded in making his escape. He reached Kentucky in safety, to the astonishment of his friends, who had given him up for dead. Few more thrilling experiences are connected with sthe pioneer history of the West, a section teeming with wild and thrilling adventures, and few more intrepid and daring spirits than Simon Kenton could have sur vived them.-W.

Barbaric Ignorance and Brutality Anon g
 the Natives of India.
 The leading Bombay newspaper draws attention to two recent revolt ing incidents as conclusively proving the imperious necessity for social re- form and enlightenment in India before it would be possible to concede electoral privileges. In one case a tenant farmer, in the presence of the assembled villagers, amid the singing of songs and beating of drums, deliberately gouged out the eyes of his young wife, who was pinioned for the purpose by the neighbors, because he had been told by demon that they would be replaced by gold eyes. This superstition was shared by the whole village and neighborhood, including the police, wh o alleged that the un- fortunate woman had perished from cholera. In the second case the scene was temple midway between Chud- dergaut and Secunderabad. Three buffalos were hacked and hewn into pieces, which were strewn all over the road, and the peo- pie in the immediate vicinity of the lacerated animals were dabbling and dancing about in their blood, while others, holding the yet bleeding legs and joints, were whirling them round about their heads, and gesticu- lating furiously. A fourth animal, which was being cut up or wounded. was still alive, and added his painful bellowings to the horrible din. A lit tie further on some two or three men with bodies naked and painted, held a goat by the legs, while from the still living and quivering body they were tearing away with their teeth, mouth ful by mouthful, the bleeding flesh, squirting and sprinkling it over the adjacent crowd Other goats and buff faloes were close at hand, waiting their turn to supply the horrid sacrifice. To complete these Bacchanalian rites, a crowd of women, apparently intoxi- cated with drugs, with hair disheveled, wild in mien, and besmeared with blood, performed a kind of satanic dance, accompanying each movement with violent shrieks. The object of all these loathsome orgies, which were witnessed and participated in by hun dreds of persons, was, we are told, tc appease the Hindoo goddess who holds in her hand the scourge of smallpox.

WASTED SUNBEAMS.
A Suggestive Article on the Sunshine
 Wasted on House-Tops.

A Wasted on House-Tops.
 The relation of sunshine and oxygen to health was not at all understood a century and a half ago. No one knew that it was the oxygen of the air that purified the venous blood of its effete matter, and that the same element was absorbed by the corpuscles and con- veyed through every part of the sys- tenn for use in it's complex chemical processes. No one knew the disin- fecting power of oxygen out of the body, nor, until quite recently, that the sunshine itself was one of the most valuable ~disinfectants in nature.
 Within late years we have learned that contagious diseases are vastly more curable and less liable to spread, when treated in shelter-tents than in our homes s, or hospitals; and we are more and more caring for the ventila- tion of our dwellings and school-houses and churches, preferring the sunny side of our houses for sleeping-rooms. We are building our cities with wider streets and providing access to clear sunshine and pure air in extensive parks. We are, moreover, demanding more scientific and faithful plumbing and looking out better for the con- dition of our cellars. But we have not reached the limit of what is possible or desirable in this matter.
 Can not architectural ingunity con- trive some method of using the thou sands of acres of house-tops, so that roofs, now so useful in affording in- door protection, can be made addition ally useful, at certain seasons, by affording outdoor recreation and pro- lection from invalidismp Can not the same skill contrive new designs for the upper and most salutary stories of our dwellings, playing-rooms and summing rooms, adapted for the winter season, but so fashioned that too intense beams can be excluded in summer?
 In the more spacious dwellings, the upper floors could be revolutionized; ventilating shafts introduced; broad windows made to run the width of the house both front and rear; ready ac- feasibility to the roof afforded; and at least part of these floors made at tractive to children and invalids. A pleasure resort might ornament each residence; neighborly consent could widen the range, and turf and flowers brighten the plain. For the higher grade of tenement houses, such fresh air facilities would probably be hailed with delight by the inmates. Summer moonlight evenings could have new aspect; and rUund a fanily-lantern groups might gather, to read, sew or engage in games, and thus home-felt pleasure could quiet restless spirits. craving questionable or illicit amuse- ments.

DESERT SAND STORM.
Vivid Description of a Terrible Naturi
 Phenomenon.


 Vivid Description of a Terrible Natural Phenomenon.
 The following vivid description of one of the terribly destructive sand storms of the deserts occurs in ''Fra- ser's Travels in the Khorassan:" Morning still found me in a wide and trackless waste of sand. The wind, which blew so piercingly all night, lulled, as it generally does towards morning; but the hay vapor, loaded with light particles of sand, through which the sun rose red as blood, gave warning that the calm would not con- tinue long; nor had 1 pursued my course another hour before the roar of the desert wind was heard, columns of dust began to rise in the horizon, and the air became gradually filled with driving sand.
 ''As the wind increased, the whole plain around me, which had been heaped by former tempests into ridges, like the waves of troubled sea, now got into motion; the sand blew from off their crests, like spray from the ocean, and covered myself and horse with it's dense eddies; while, often un- able to distinguish the true course, my horse toiled over the ridges, sinking up to the very girths in the deep, baff1ing substance.
 ''I continued for some hours to per- severe, struggling against the fury of the gale and the clouds of suffocating sand. To my alarm my horse now be- came terrified and restive. He snort ed, reared and appeared unable, as well as unwilling, to face the sharp drifting of the still-increasing storm. In vain 1 tried to sooth and urge him on; caresses and blows were alike 1n- effectual.
 "To abandon my horse would have been to give up hope; for l could not proceed single'mile on foot; yet to remain stationary, as 1 was forced to do by the animals terror, meant cer tain destruction. Every thing that offered resistance to the torrent of sand, which some times poured along the earth like rapid stream of water, was overwhelmed in an incredibly short time; even when my horse stood still, but for a few moments, the drift mounted higher than his knees; and, as if sensible of the danger, he made furious efforts to extricate himself.
 Quite certain that my only hope lay in constant motion, and in the chance of gaining the leeward side of some hillock or mass of rocks that might afford a shelter till the storm should blow over, I gave up my true course, turned my back to the wind, and made all possible efforts to press forward; and, at last, when man and horse were exhausted, during a partial lull, 1 observed something like a rock looming through the dusky atmos- phere. It proved to be but a bank of drifting sand with hollow on the lee side, but here my worn-out horse and I found a tolerably good shelter for some hours till the storm lulled."

SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
The Effect of Personal Veracity on the
 Strength of a Nation.

The Effect of Personal Veracity on the
 Strength of Nation.
 It is reported of certain college in the United States that the one offense which the faculty will not forgive is the offense of lying. A student con- victed of this breach is not allowed to stay in the institution. It is well known how stern the code at West Point is in regard to veracity. The Romans in their best days set the high est value on truthful speaking, and the story of Regulus is familiar to every school-boy. It is so mean and con- temptible to lie, and the one lie breeds so many other lies to bolster it up, and the habit so saps all ideas of honesty as to lead to other transgressions that, alike in private and public life, the liar should be made to feel the degradation of his conduct, and, if possible, induced to reform. Without confidence, hu- man relations would be wholly con- fused and unstable. Most affairs pro- ceed on faith in the spoken or written word. Every lie, to some extent, dis turbs the equipoise. It is exceedingly fortunate that, as a rule, candor pre- dominates and falsehood is the excep- tion. Most right-minded people early learn to recoil from the stain and stigma of false speech and dealing, and the community never quite forgives a convicted liar. The nations in which personal veracity is exacted are the strong and responsible nations. It was in the vigorous days of Persia that the three things inculcated were to ride a horse, shoot bow and speak the truth. The lying communities are the weak and vicious ones.

For nurse has often told That he's great-grandpa to Santa Claus, Then he must be very old" So they softly crept to the play-room, Little Ted and blue-eyed Nan, And waited long and patiently To see the sleepy man. At last it came their bedtime, And nurse looked all around For baby Nan and little Ted, But neither could be found. So then she sought the play-room, And loi behind the door The sleepy-man had caught them both, And laid them on the floor.
