Recurring storm Periods.


Mr. T. J. Murday, an English writer, publishes In
the Newcastle Journal a fascinating theory OF
storm recurrence. storms OF different types cross
the same meridian at different intervals Of time.
but In his view each recur5 at given place so
regularly that. by the application OF this theory
Its arrival and intensity can perhaps be predicted
many moaths- Thus, Mr.. Murday says: Every
storm tnat crosses the British meridian saws as
plainly as though IL spoke, Look out FOR me again
3s3 days (or whatever length OF period the dis
tur0ance may belong TOY after This date.'" IL is
well known that certain types OF weather are re-
current. Possibly storms may be so The prime
difnculty, however, Is 10 determine the length or
the interval between successive visits OF the same
storm, even supposing we should know that It
would recur. Until this difficulty, which we fear
Is insuper.be, Is overcome It will lie impossible TO
fOretell the precise date which a storm will re-
turn 10 given point on the globe. But II Mr.
MIrday can clearly prove that the greatest known
British teInpests are periodical, and he can dis
cover the exact period OF their return his theory
may be exceedingly useful in weather prediction.

From the Boston Gazette.
There is widespread belief that beneft IS to be
gained from flushing pipes by letting water run at
faucets. Flushing means rinsiny by a copious
and rapid flow OF water. The stream from a
faucet Is too slight to accomplish any thing toward
cleansing the tenacious slime that forms on the
inside OF drains, and is merely waste OF water TO
allow such feeble stream to trickle through a
soil pipe.
Col. Warnings "Perfect Sanitary Formular
embraces two tnjunctions: First TO allow no
organic decomposition within the dwelling or
within drains under unnealthful conditions:
second, 10 allow no drain air TO enter the house
under any circumstances. / would add to these
The following: Drain, purify and ventilate
eradicate every hint or dampneSS from the site
ana foundations; not to store up anything capable
OF decomposition within or about your dwelling:
let the hidden things be revealed; use plenty OF

A Washington special to the New York
World says: That the Democratic ma

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-Gen. Greedy,
chief signal officer, was before the house
appropriations committee to-day to urge
that immediate appropriations be made
to maintain the service stations in various
places, principally in the West, many of
which have already been discontinued and
other stations at important points which
would likewise be forced to discontinuance
unless action was taken to provide means
to pay the necessary expenses. Gon.
Greeley stated hat the usefulness of the
signal service was greatly crippled because
the last congress cut down the a~ppropria-
tons to the uarrowcst limit. He prom
ised the committee that if this matter was
given prompt attention the Western sta
tons would be preferred in their re.estab-
lishment and maintenance.
