TO TELL THE WEATHER.
Prof Draper Tells What He Knows About
Practical Indications.

GFhCtlcat
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
spoiled in Philadelphia by a rain
storm that came on just at the
beginning OF the eclipse, the sky was
clear at Boston until after the eclipse
was over. BY communicating with in
tervening towns he learned that the
storm travelled eastward at uniform
rate. Simultaneous observations taken
in all parts OF the country show that
nearly all great storms follow the same
General direction-from the west to
the east. The same is true of cold or
hot waves. Therefore. to tell what
the weather viii be, in advance, we
have only to had out the conditions
that prevail west of us. This is prac-
tically the course pursued by the sig
nal service.
The directions of storm. is frequent
ly diverted by some local cause. A
low barometer, or large amount OF
moisture in the air, attracts storm,
and may either change its course en-
tirely or hasten its advance. Tho rate
at which a storm travels between two
points is, in fact. calculated by the gra-
dent or decline of the barometer from
one point of the other When storm is
advancing the wind blows to NEE. it.
Thus a wind blowing from the east or
southeast indicates the approach Of a
storm from the west. When the storm
center has passed, however, the wind
changes and follows the storm. IL a
person has a good barometer and a
wind gauge he can tell pretty correctly
when storm is coming. Without the
instruments the clouds may be watched.
and when seen TO be moving rapidly
from the southeast, and there are indi-
c"tions OF the presence OF much moist
ue in, the air, storm is not far away.
The old Scotch saying that
A red sky at night is the sheperd's delight,
A red sky in the morning, shepherds take
warning,
is partially true in this country. The
red sky in the morning indicates an
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 alti-
tude produces a large bow and at a
low altitude small bow. The small
er the bow, therefore, the nearer is
the moisture, and, consequently, the
sooner will the storm develop. The
old saying that the number of stars to
be seen inside of the circle indicates
the number OF days before the arrival
of the storm is not reliable, as the
position OF the moon in the heavens
may make the number great or small
without. regard to the storm condi-
tons. All attempts at predicting the
weather for months in advance are
mere guess-work. Such suppersti-
tions as trying to foretell the severity
OF winter by the thickness of the
breast-bone of the goose or the fur Of
animals originate in some obscure
quarter and are not worth the circu-
lation and attention that they receive.

GALVESTON, TEX, Jan. Frank
Patterson, who was arrested yesterday
by Chief of Police Jordan upon kilograms
that he was wanted for embezzlement in
Fort Worth, also for murder, is still IL
custody at police headquarters City
Marshal Farmer of Fort Worth, upob
whose dispatches Patterson was arrested I,
has not yet arrived for his man. Patter-
son says the charge of embezzlement
grew out of the fact that Jake johnson i,
of the firm of Johnson & Foster,
proprietors of the Palais ROYAL, a
gambling house IN Fort Worth, gave him
$50 to engage a man who was flushing
considerable money in game of poker
If Patterson was successful he was
to have half of the winnings.
Failing to induce his man to
enter into the game of poker, Patterson
says he lost Johnson IS $50 and more il
Johnson s house at faro. As to the,
charge of MURDER Patterson says he is
guiitleSs; that he has no knowledge of
ever numbering or attempting to murder
anyone. Patterson is q native of
Kentucky, and prior to his
gambling career was a commercial
traveller. He is married, and before his
arrest he and his wife were boarding in a
respectable boarding house on Avenue III :,
this city, and since his detention at the
police station his wife, who is quite a
ladylike woman, has called to see him

most outragously and perhaps fatally beat
little three ear-old negro child. 1t
seems from the best information your

abused child was an orphan. The said
John Hammer was made its lawful pro-
teetor and for some disobedient act the
child was fearfully beaten with quirt
and a rawhide cracker was worn out on
the little innocent s body. Complaint
was made this morning before w. n.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Jan. IA better
day for the observation of an eclipse
of the sun than that given the entire
Northwest could have scarcely been con-
ceived of. Clouds were almost un-
known, and warm atmosphere added
to the pleasure with which the people
watched the eclipse, which in this state
was almost three-quarters, while farther
west it was almost total. In many parts
of Dakota and Minnesota New Years
day was celebrated with picnics, excur-
sions and ball games, the observation of
the eclipse being part of the days pleas

watch the juxtapositions of the sun and

The fact that feeders from Kansas,
Iowa and neighboring states have found
it cheaper during the past season to go
upon the Kansas City and st Louis mar
kets to buy such stock as they want to
put up, paying commission and freights
to the market and to the place of
feeding, more conveniently than they
could go out on the ranch and find the
cattle they want and pay range prices,
has caused comments from stock journals
urging upon cattlemen s associations the
ACCESSIBILITY of appointing agents to go
among the feeding section to
place such steers as the rangemen
are intending to dispose Of Such
proposition has been suggested to several
of the leading cattlemen of Fort Worth
by q GAZETTE man, and it has been
faYorably entertained by all TO whom
presented. 1t appears the feeders do not
care to waste time coming to the range
country, flying around for weeks from
ranch to ranch looking for q particular
class of cattle when theYcan go on the mar
kets almost any day and secure what they
want without trouble, though at higher
prices than they would have to pay OH
the range. The difference between the
range and market valuations is more
than Offset by the loss of time and the
expense of searching the ranges. If an
agent of the rangemen were to go among
the feeders he could be provided with a
list of such cattle as were open for pur-
chase with as concise a statement of the
terms of sale as would be possible under
the conditions. Under such an arrange
ment feeders would be able to secure the
cattle they would want i'll advance if they
chose, or they could be given informa-
tiou as to where they could go to find
what they wanted, so they could inspect
before purchasing; in fact, different
methods of contract could be pursued to
accommodate the different views of pur-
chasers. The benefit to the rangemen
would be in the increased value OF their
stock. They would save freight to mar
ket and the commission, for in all eases
such charges comes from the pockets of
rangemeu Then they would be able to
sell at their leisure without being COM
pelled TO take the risks of the markets.
Fort Worth cattlemen favor such pro-
iect, and it would not be a miracle if it
were in operation next year.

grade Herefords have advantages over
any others.
