Professor Nipher's recommendation of
state weather service, as supplementary
to the national signal service, is calling
attention and general discussion to it,
That our service is incomplete at present
Is evident. The chief damage done to
our crops is not by tho great storms that
destroy shipping and wreck buildings,
but by storms quite local in origin and
in rang. The general service can only
refer To- tllcsc in general terms as local
storms in northern Illinois. or in
western New York or "along the gulf
but state service would have for its
special work To forecast these less eX-
tended and localized disturbances and
announce them to the agriculturists
Professor Niphcr reminds lis that in 1893
the telephone will he public property,
and can lac used by such u state service
to communicate with every farm.

The lark asccnds until it looks 10 larger
than a midgc, and can with difficulty be
seen by the unaided eye, ard yet every
note will be clearly audible to persons
who are fully half II mile from the nest
over which the bird utters its song.
Moreover, it never ceases To sing for
moment, u feat which seems wonderful
to us human beings who find that song
of six or seven minutes in length, though
nterspers',l with rests and palscs, is
more than irving. Even II practiced pub
lie speaker, though he can pause Mt the
end of each sentence, finds the applause
of the audience Il very welcome relief.
Moreover, the singer and speaker need to
use 10 cNertion save exercising their
voices. Vet the bird will pour out con-
tinuous song of nearly twenty minutes
i'll length, and all the time has to sup
port itself in the air by the constant use
of its wings. The Naturalist.
