A Buddhist TemDle for Paris

According to M. Claretie, of The P1ris Temps, Paris is shortly to possess & Buddhist temple. There are in the French capital a considerable Sumber of Buddhists who have no place of public worship. The want is, it seems, to be supplied by rich English lAdy. Sbe has bought plot of ground, end the masons are already at work. It appears that this is not the first time that B Buddhist temple has been opened in Paris. During the last international exhibition, when so many rich Hindoos came to France with numerous reti- nNes, an application was made to M. Eardoux, then minister of public works, for permission to open Buddhist temple in the vicinity of the Champ de Mars. The minister consented; but it was said that he had some difficulty in getting Marshal Mac1. ahon to sign the Necessary decree. l e yielded only on its being pointed out to him that the guests of France could not be refused permission to perform their religious Gsuties.

FLORENCE, - JANUARY IA, 1888
THE FATHER OF THE WEATHER
Ire ubIes Met by MT. James r. Espy
 in Carrying ont His Ideas.

Ben: Perley Poore.l
 James P. Espy is the father of the present system of weather signal service. He was a Pennsylvanian by birth, and so poor in early life that he had not been able to learn to read when he was seventeen years of age. He subsequently, mastered the English language and the classics, and long before he knew why began to study the mystery of the moving clouds, and to form his storm theories. At last he came to Washington and asked of con gress an appropriation of S5,OOO year for five years, but he was met with jibes and ridicule. Senator Preston of South Carolina said Espy was mad man, too dangerous to be at large, and the senator would vote special appro- priation for prison in which to contine him. Espy was in the senate gallery at the time. Wounded to the quick, he left the capital and went to New York, where he delivered course of lectures with great success. They were re- peated in Boston, and he made money enough to enable him to visit Europe.
 Not long after reaching Liverpool, Jan. $, 1859, a great storm occurred. He went to Lloyd's, consulted the news papers as they arrived, noted the direc- tion of the wind as given at different places, and frovl these data constructed the first great storm map ever prepared, with the hour points marked. Every line and curve and point exemplitied his theory. He was at no loss now for audiences. He appeared before the British association of scientists, at Lon don, at which Sir John Herschel was present, an interested auditor. He crossed the channel to Paris, and the Academy of Sciences appointed a com Eittee, composed of the illustrious A:ago, "to report upon his observations and theory" The effect of this report, when it reached Washington, was not much different from that which followed, afterwards, the announcement of Morses first transmitted message over sle wire from Washington to Balti- more.
 In due time Professor Espy returned to Washington, and one of the first pub lie men he encountered was Senator Preston. They met on Pennsylvania avenue. Towards the conclusion oi taeir report, MT. Arago's committee had expressed the hope that the government of the United States would place Mir Espy in position to continue his i'm. | pertant investigations and complete his remarkable theory by means of all the observations and all the experiments which even the deductions of his theory may suggest in a vast country, the home as 1t were of the aerial meteors, storms wa erspouts and tornadoes. Senator Preston was prompt to apologize fol the mistake he had made when his language drove Espy from the senate gallery, and he was as profuse in his promise to help the storm king on il the spirit of the French report. It is { matter of history that he did so: that Espy got his S25, ,OOO, and that to hin we owe the first step in the formation cs the present signal service. He pub Eshed several reports. which aro-noNs | very rare.
