Squirrel Skins and the Weather.
Tackled upon the wall in one corner of
my room are three native gray squirrel
skins. The agile chatterers that were
once within these soft jackets were shot
last October in the Maine woods, and their
furs were tanned and sent 10 me at the
same time by an enthusiastic sportsman
OF my acquaintance. The ordinary wav
in which these skins are preserved in the
country, is by merely lacking them upon
a good broad single, sprinkling a little
salt over them and then setting aside for
week to dry. For almost a wear now
have these furs been upon my wall in A
soft, plant and dry condition. as thew
should be. Last Tuesday, though. when
the atmosphere was so excessively SAT-
urated with moisture found them soak-
ing wet, with great beads of water distrib-
uted over the surface. The salt with
which they were permeated, had simply
been unable to Withstand the humidity in
the air. and had, of consequence, been
dissolved by it. If squirrel skins prove
to be such an accurate register of atmos-
pheric moisture, it might not be a bad
idea for the Signal Service Bureau to
adopt them henceforth as standard nv
grometers, or at least to use them in con-
nection with their other instruments.
