Poor President Harrison. The New

drove Conkling and Platt out OF the

The Name OF Iowa.

The State derives its name from the
tribe now known as the Iowa tribe.
Much learning, or at least research,
has-been wasted IN the attempt to show
the orthography and definition of this
word among the Indians themselves.
While Washington Irving, with the Ii
cense allowable to an imaginative
writer, states that the meaning Of the
word is beautiful" and recounts the
incident by which the phrase was .4rst
applied to The country, saving that the

A New Storm Theory.

There is some ingenuity, whether
mach practical sense or not, in the
storm theory put forth by a railroad ex-
pert, who takes the 80. 600 locomotive
engines in North America as a basis.
and calculates that they send forth into
the atmosphere 1000, 900, 900 cubic
yards of steam every day. Adding to
these figures the 10000, ,G0O, 600 cubic
yards of steam discharged by other non-
condensing engines, we have a prodig-
lous volume of aqueous vapor which
must presently c6ndense and fall back
upon the earth in the form of rain. Yf
this calculation is anywhere near cor
rect is it not wonderful that there is as
much humidity in the atmosphere. or
that rain is so much more FREQUENT now
than of old as to draw lnvidious COM
ment from persons of advanced wears
and Wellspreserved weather memories.
