WASHINGTON, April s.-The prospects for an

fifty to 100 miles before it has parted
with its electricity and becomes broken.
The dry surface, you see, is a nOn-con-
ductor. Telephone and telegraph wires,
and especially wire fences, are conduct
ors. They conduct off the electricity
from the cloud and the cloud is broken.
''There is another brand new fact, 1
may mention. The clouds are disposed
to run toward the center where their
electricity is conducted, and hence
when approaching a city. they are so
suddenly deprived of their electric en-
ergy that they collapse, producing cy-
clones and waterspouts. We have had
two severe electric storms this season,
and both have scattered death and de-
scruction in their trail in the neighbor-
hood Of two cities, Ottawa and Montreal.
This is why we read OF disastrous cy-
clones destroying towns and villages Of
Ohio and other western states where
thunder clouds are suddenly being
formed in the great northern current Of
the Mississippi valley. Take away the
wire fences" said the professor, waving
his hand solemnly, and cyclones as well
as drOughts will cease, and let the Can
adian government permit wire fencing
to be built in the northwest territories
and they may cease to expect that vast
agricultural country to become the
granary of civilization las it will become
the home OF drought and cyclone"

1t has been discovered that at least a

In the Academy of Science Of Paris,
on the SHOWS, ice and waters of Mars, M.
Flammarion, in reply to some recent re-
marks on the meteorological condition
OF this planet, pointed out that the vary
ing state of the polar ice caps had long
been carefully observed by Maedler,
S~chiaparelli and others, the inference
being that Mars is not in a state of glac-
iation. On the contrary, Its tempera-
ture is equal to, If not higher, than that
Of the earth, and its polar SHOWS melt
periodically to a far greater extent than
on our planet.
1t has been estimated that If the heat
generated within the body were allowed
to accumulate within us, and none to be
given off, it would be sufficient to raise
the body to the boiling point in thirty
six hours.
Speaking of M. Pasteur, a recent wri-
ter says: HE is of average height, has
a large, high forehead, small gray eyes,
soft and intelligent; short neck, broad
shoulders and an emaciated face; he
wears a full gray beard and moustache

The Weather Plant.

That remarkable specimen of the veg
etable world, the weather plant" con-
%tinues, says a Vienna correspondent, to
excite considerable interest there. Men
of science who on its first discovery
were unwilling to express an opinion on
its prognosticatlng virtues, now agree,
after extensive experiments, that the
shrub is, in truth, prophetic. Thirty
two thousands trials made during the
last three years tend to prove its infal-
libility. The plant is a native OF Cor
sica and Tunis. Its leaf and twig'
strongly resemble those OF the acacia.
The more delicate leaves of its upper
branches foretell the state of the
weather forty-eight hours in advance,
while its lower and harder leaves indi-
cate all atmospheric changes three
DAYS beforehand.

walls were blown down. To see lighters

astonishing. The poor people who lived

Fire.Proof buildings.

The Real Estate Record says that fire
ruins show that porous terra-cotta bricks
and blocks best resist fire, water and
frost. Next to these in the order of
fire-resisting qualities come concretes
and bu~rned-clay work. In the best work
done the iron work is incased in porous
terra-cotta, tile or brick work in roof,
floor and tile construction. The hollow
tiles are faced with vitreous tile, slate
or any good weather-proof coating, or
with a single thickness of brick. Iron
and steel framework incased in fire.
proof materials gives the best possible
results. There is a growing preference
for light porous walls of hollow material
protecting an iron or wooden frame
work. Massive and heavy walls of brick
or stone will do for architecture, but
they are not as much Of a mechanical
necessity as they were regarded a few
years ago.

Sweetly sang the birds one even;
Crimson was the sun, INT low,
Flushed was all the summer heaven
With n glorious afterglow:
Softly sighed the wind in whispers,
Leaves made answer, soft and light,
Natures choir was saying vespers
In the temple of the night.
Why doth sadness hold thee, maiden,
With the sunlight on thy breasts
Why with anguish art thou ladenl
While all nature breathes of restl
'Love Is lost,' the maiden faltered;
"All is dark, and sad am l."
Still the choir sang on, unaltered,
Still the anthem filled the sky.
Suddenly her soul responded
To the hymn that round her grew;
Anguish from her heart rebounded,
Sadness from her bosom few;
Light upon her soul was shining
Light that falls from heaven above;
''Cease, oh! cease" she cried, "repining
Life is crowned with perfect Love-"

Are Women Fitted to Govern?

Popular Science Monthly: Most
men who have associated. much with
girls and ONE remember how many
needed lessons they have learned from
them in refinement and ~benevolence;
and how they have had, OF the other
hand, to steel their minds against their
aimlessness and pettiness. And from
youth to later years they have observed
one popularity for which no remedy
has been yet found, and that is, a pro-
nounced frailty OF the rational faculty
in thought or action. This character
istic Is Offset by a strength and eleva-
shines with ineXtinguishable luster in
the wife and mother. 1t is to this
that man renders the homage
OF respect, admiration, and such devo-
ton as he is capable of. But, are these
the qualities for our governors? Men
who display personal bias in ever so
small a degree, unless accompanied by
unusual merits Of another kind, are
not selected by their fellows for posi-
tions of responsibility and trust. Strong
understanding, vigorous judgment, and
the absence of fear, favor and alice
ton :" are what men desire in their
governors; for only through minds of
that character can justice be obtained.
On account of their stronger sympa-
thies girls always think themselves the
moral superiors of boys, who are often
singularly devoid Of benevolence, es-
pecially toward the lower animals.
Some women imagine, for this reason,
that their entire sex is morally the SUI
perior OF the male. But a good many
women learn to correct this opinion.
In departments of morals which depend
on the emotional nature, women are
the superior; for those which depend
on the rational nature, man Is the su-
perior. When the balance is struck,
can see no inferiority on either side.
But the quality of justice remains with
the male. 1t is on this that men
and must alike depend, and
| hence it is that women SO often prefer
to be Judged by men rather than by
their own sex.

DR.. Tanners New Hobby.

New York Post: DR.. H. S. Tanner,
who became famous about eight years
ago by fasting forty days in Clarendon
hall, New York city, arrived in Chicago
the other day from New Mexico. He is
apparently in perfect health, and his
girth is such as to suggest anything ex-
cept abstinence from food. About the
last news from the doctor, previous to
his arrival, was that he was in New
Mexico, living there On a purely vege-l
table diet. AT present he eats two meals
a day in summer INT one meal a day
winter.
He says that he had been in Mexico
for four years, pursuing Investigations
into the subject of suspended animation,
or counterfeit death. He is convinced
that large numbers of people are annu-
ally buried alive all over the world and,
from his study of varions cases,
and the records of societies, on
the subject, in Holland and else
where, he believes that, so subtle is the
principle of life, no n can undertake
to say that it is extinct until decomposi-
tion-the only sure sign-has set in.
He declares that the dead in this coun-
try are buried with indecent, with
criminal haste, and that burials of per-
sons who are not absolutely dead are
murders.
The doctor is also pursuing another
branch of semi-suspended animation,
viz: Information. He declares that
bears and other alternating animals do
not use their lungs during the hibernat-
ing season, and he is convinced that
man can hibernate. He refers to the
long frances OF the Hindu adopts, ac-
complished through long seasons of
fasting, and declares 1t to be his belief
that these frances are merely seasons Of
h~,bernation. The doctor says he is
studying with a view to making some
experiments in this line, and that the
time may come when he may permit
himself to be sealed up in an alright
coffin and laid away until such time as
he shall designate for it to be opened.

A New Process.

The Revue Scientifque gives an ac-
count of a process for depositing thin
coats Of metal upon other metals, which
has peen lately introduced by Mr.. A.
Levy. The inventor dispenses entirely
with batteries and dynamos, the new
process being based upon a double chem
ical decomposition. In depositing a
layer of nickel upon either copper or
iron, a solution of a salt Of the metal is
prepared, preferably the calculated
chloride, and after the object has been
secured it is suspended in the solution
at the extremity Of a zinc wire, which
partially enters the bath. The zinc is
attacked by the salt, and it replaces the
nickel in the chemical constitution OF
the solution, the object being conse-
quently covered with a layer OF nickel.
When this process is employed for cop
per-plating cast iron, Mr.. Levy substi-
tutes an alkaline bath in place OF the
acidulated One.

The New Comet.

New York World: The comet discov-
cred by Prof. Barnard at the Lick OBJ
oervatory about two weeks ago is a most
~eccentric specimen OF a class of astrono-
knical phenomena nOt noted for conven-
SiOnality. 1t has no tail, a sin of Omis-
sion as great on the part OF a comet as
Che lack of o queue in the case of a Chi
naman. 1t seems to be coming this way
1t the rate of 5000 900 miles a day, a
rate Of speed that could hardly be ex-
pected from a bobtail comet. Where it
bame from and whittier it goeth no as
tronomer can tell. But it will be long
remembered as the first comet ever dis
covered from u California observatory,
and as such its antics will be watched
with interest.
Prof. Lewis Boss of the Dudley OBJ
servatory at Albany, has completed cal
eulatious OF the orbit Of the new comet.
IL is twice as far away from the earth as
Che sun is, OR about 100, 200, 900 miles,
and is about 170, 1000, 900 miles from the
sun. Calculations indicate its nearest
distance to the sun at l25 900 900 miles.
Should 1t fall below this the comet will
be a brilliant object in November.
