TELLING THE WEATHER.
Some Interesting Points in Regard t

Some Interesting Points in Regard to
Meteorological Science.
Benjamin Franklin was the first to
discover that storms in this country
travel from west to east He was in
terested in observing an eclipse and
found that while the observations were
that came on, just at the beginning OF
the eclipse, the sky was clear at Bos-
ton until after the eclipse was over.
By communicating with intervening
towns he learned that the storm trav-
eled eastward at a uniform rate. Sim
ultaneous observations taken in all
parts of the country show that nearly
all great storms follow the same gen.
eral directiOn-from the west to the
east. The same is true of cold OR hot
waves. Therefore,, to- tell what the
weather will be-, in advance, we have
only to find out the, conditions prevail
ing west of lis, This is practically
the course pursued by the signal serv-
ice.
The direction OF a storm is frequent
ly diverted by some local cause. A
low barometer, or large amount OF
moisture in the ain. attracts storm.
and may either change its course en-
tirely or hasten it's advance. The
rate at which storm trav-
els between two points is,
in fact, calculated by the
gradient Or decline of the barometer
from one point to the other. When a
storm is advancing the wind blows to
meet it. Thus a wind blowing from
the east Or southeast indicates the ap-
proach of storm from the west.
When the storm center has passed,
however, the wind changes and fol-
lows the storm. If person has
good barometer and a wind gauge he
can tell pretty correctly when a storm
is, coming. Without the instruments
the clouds may be watched, and when
seen to be moving rapidly from the
southeast. ana there are indications OF
the presence of much moisture in the
air, storm is not far away. The old
Scotch saying that
red sky Mt night is the shepherd delight;
red sky in the morning, she perd's take warn.
ing.
is partially true in this country. The
red sky in the morning indicates al
excess of moisture in the air, and a
storm is therefore likely to occur be-
fore many days.
The circle around the moon, or lunar
rainbow, shows the presence OF moist
ure in the air. Moisture at high
altitude produces large bow and at a
low altitude a small bow. The smaller
the bow, therefore, the nearer the
moisture, and consequently, the sooner
will the storm develop. The old say
ing that the number of stars to be
seen inside of the circle indicate the
number of days before the arrival OF
the storm, is not reliable, as the posi-
ton of the moon in the heavens may
make the number great or small with
out regard to the storm conditions
All attempts at predicting the weather
for months in advance are mere guess
work. Such superstitions as trying to
foretell the severity of a winter by the
thickness of the breastbone OF the
goose or the fur of animals originated
in some obscure quarter and are not
worth the circulation and attention
that they receive. Chicago Inter-

The most valuable. book i'm the
world is said to be Hebrew Bible at
the Vatican in Rome. In 1S12 Pope
Julius then in great financial straits,
refused to sell it to a syndicate of rich
Venetian Jews for its. weight in gold.
The Bible weighs more than 1876
pounds, and is never carried by less
than three men, The price refused
by Pope Julius was therefore about
$I25, 900, and that, too, when gold was
worth at least thrice what it is now

TIE NEGEO's CHANCE.

If the negroes of Virginia, aspiring
to equality in politics at least, are ever
TO do anything to break the chains OF
theiv second slavery. it appears that
row is the time TO do it. and IN dong SO
receive something like respect from the
white people who have taxed them
selves to educate them. There has not
been seen in political annals a more
discraceful chapter than the connection
between the negroes Of this State ana
their herding by the Bell Wether Ma
hone. the arch wolf in Sleeps clothing.
Is there not an appeal. even at this late
hour. or rather in this late year, to ask
those benighted people if they mean to
take the one talent given them by Uod

BY the same token we call attention
TO the opinion of one OF the enlight-
eped Republicans Of the North. VINO
came to look up the truth IN the Dan
vile massacre. lie happened to sc

is that the negro when under the kind
" control of Christian civilization is
good citizen and worker in his prope
sphere. but that he becomes a savage
when intrusied with power.

THE REVOLT AGAINST MALONE.

The anti. Malone meeting in Lynch
burg reported in our special dispatches
indicates that the kicker leaders can
organize following on principle OF
opposition to personal. arbitrary tyran'
ny. and that there are plenty oil peo'
pie in the Republican party who see that
Cameron, and Yost. and Riddleberger'
and Wise have better motive Tor thcir
actions than mere personal pique. A po'
liticai machine may work for many
seasons and reap the harvest oil Oince-
and honors, but every machine must DE
adjusted upon correct principles or II
will break. and this is the moral oil
every one, and the thing that is rapidly
working the destruction of the National
Republican party.
II is notorious that in the days OF pr
racy. when swift sailing vessels had
such advantage even over men-of-war'
that men of ability like Morgan could
not hold an organization together very
long. The elementary disintegration TO
separate is stronger than the motive OF
plunder to bind bad men together. II
this were not so the world would be So
cial chaos instead Of picture OF grow
ing harmony under wise laws.
The Virginia Readjusters had what
they believed to be a good cause and
they were closely united, but the
minute their chief led them into the
Republican camp under false colors'
their fate as a party was sealed, and the
good ones among them made haste 10
get back into the camp Of their friends,
while others followed Malone, simply
because they had feeling OF Natlonal
Republicanism and were ashamed to
leave even a bad cause.
The present stampede OF Mahone ;
former leaders must appear ominous
even to the little monkey Boss himself
enthroned on his self-made pedestal of
fancied greatness.
Where is he to get speakers TO take
the place Of Cameron, RiddleberSer,
Yost. Wise, and score of others. HIS
moonshine circulars, ground out by rat
printers in his "boozing ken at Pe'
te.sburg, may do him much good III
remote country districts, but your coun-
try Virginian likes to hear the party
doctrine intoned to oratory, as he has
enioyed it on the couTt-green. and a
single blast from a raging Democratic
stumper will tear a thousand moon
shine circulars into shreds and SEND
them flying to the winds.
The FIRST organized expression OF op'n
ion by popular meeting shows that th
revolt against Malone in his own cam
is not simply personal affair OF a few
angry leaders. but feeling that ma

that Malone needs to be elected Cover
