FoREcAsTING THUNDER STORMS.
How to Become Familiar With Certain
Signs of Their Coming.

How to Become Familiar With Certain
Signs of Their Coming.
Popular Science Monthly.J
When the daily weather charts are drawn,
if we find that there is an uneveness in the
isobaric lines-that is, if these are vavy, or
bulge out irregularly-we know that thun-
der storms are likely to burst somewhere or
other over the country, but that is all we
can say. At each station the barometer is
unsteady-the mercury moving up and
down in the tube-during the actual con-
tinuance OF the storm, but this oscillation Of
the mercurial column has nothing to do
with the irregularity in the isobaric lines
above mentioned. Forecasting these storms
is, therefore, always an uncertain and thank
less task, for local success is rarely attained.
Among the earliest symptoms OF the ap-
proach Of thunderstorm Is the appearance
on the western horizon of line of cumulus
(wool pack) clouds, exhibiting peculiar
horizon, for most of our changes Of weather
come from that quarter, and it has been
proved that thunder-storms, like wind
storms, advance over tie country, generally,
from some westerly point. The bank Of
clouds moves on, and over it appear first
streamers and then sheets of lighter upper
cloud-cirrus Cor mares tail), which spread
over the sky with extreme rspidity. The
heavy cloud mass comes up under this film,
and it is general observation that no cleo
trical explosion or downfall of rain ever
takes place from cloud unless streamers of
cirrus, emanating from its upper surface,
are visible when the cloud Is looked at side
WAYS from a distance.

whose very beauty was of strangely pen
siye and wistful kind. Even the gentle self
possession and the wisdom beyond her years
she showed at times seemed to him pathetic
sort of thing; he had a fancy that during her
childhood she never had had the chance of
playing with young children.
But it was too late to retreat; and indeed
she welcomed him with q pleasant smile as
she bade him good morning. 1t was he who
was embarrassed. He talked to her about
the common things surrounding them, while
anxiously casting about for something better
fitting such a rare opportunity. And at last
he said:
eyes, I am sure your grandfather and
get on very well. And I have been wonder
ing whether, when you and he make that
pilgrimage through Scotland, he would let
me accompany you."
In her beautiful and child-like eyes there
was a swift flash OF joy that made his heart
leap, 30 direct and outspoken an expression
it was Of her gladness to think of such q
thing; but instantly she had altered her
look, and faint flush Of color had over
spread her faee-the pale Wild rose had
grown pink.
"Your way of travelling and ours are 50
different" she said, gently.
"Oh, but" said be, with eagerness, "you
don't understand how the idea Of long
wandering on foot has fascinated me; why,
that would be the whole charm of It'll You
don't know me at all yet You think / care
for the kind of thing that prevails here
that can't get on without pine apples and
chairs with gilt backs? Why-but I don't
want to talk about myself at all; if You would
let me come with you on that pilgrimage
Won would find out little. And what an
opportunity it will be, to 60 with your
grandfather; history, poetry and romance
all brought together. Scotland will be q
wonderful country for you before you have
done with it. And-and-you see-I have
gone on pedestrian excursions before-I
have q pretty broad back-I can carry
things. You might engage me as porter;
for even when you send your luggage on,
there will be few odds and ends to fill
knapsack with; and can tramp like any
gsberlunzie.
She smiled a little. and then said more
seriously
IT am glad to have the chance of speaking
to You about that scheme of my grand
! fathers; because, Mr.. Harris, you must try
to dissuade him from it a. much a. pos
sible."
"Dissuade him2"
"Yes," said she, quietly. 'You must
have seen how completely my grandfather
lives in a'world Of Imagination, and how
one thing captivates him after another, es-
pecially If it is connected with Scotland
and Scottish song. And have no doubt
| he would write beautiful book about such
q tour - that; for who knows more about

she continued, with little embarrassment,

something else-and-and-he is under per-
sonal obligations about it-and he must not
be allowed to forget them"

She was looking at him inquiringly, and
yet difidently, as if she were asking herself
how far she might confde in him.

ber of the Third Missouri Cavalry, and his
name was Dick Mccullough. The raiders
were defended by a shyster lawyer from New
York, and were given fair trial. We had
some fair lawyers in the prison and upon
the courtmartiaL.
THEIR FATE WAS SEALED.
The sentence, however. was that six of the
worst prisoners were guilty of murder, and
should be hanged. This sentence was SUBJ
mitted to General J. b. Winder, the rebel
Commissary General. He considered it q
day or so, and finally confirmed it. had
acted as sergeant OF my company in ar
resting the raiders, and supposed that our
work was ended when we had given them
into Wirz's hands. / Isupposed that Key
would himself carry out the rest of the pro-
gramme, whatever that might be. On the
morning of July II, however, one of the
bows Of my battalion came to me and said:
''McE cElroy, Key is going to hang the raid
ers to-day. He wants you to get your COM
pany together and 60 to the ration place on
the South side, and guard the men who are
to put up the scaffold."
This message struck me all sghast. had
talked very strongly in favor Of hanging the
fellows, but had no idea that I would be
asked 10 participate in carrying ii out ]
was soon made to realize, however, that my
only way out of the trouble was to do what
was asked of me or else to make q humil-
isting backdown and figure as a black
guard. 1 accepted the less disagreeable
horn of the dilemma and went.
WOOD WAS PRECIOUS.
There were two reasons for guarding the
scaffold, first, because we expected q rush
from the friends of the condemned to inter.

Maisrie flushed downright red this time;
but she sought to conceal her confusion by
saying quickly:
''Then again you must not misunderstand
me, Mr.. Harris; you must not think I am
saying anything against my grandfather;
am only telling you of one little peeuliarity
he has. Saying anything against himl-I
think could not well do that; for he has
been goodness itself to me since ever can
remember anything. There is nothing he
would not sacrifice for my sake; sometimes
it is almost painful to me to see an old man,

her head away; anyhow he dared not break
in upon the silence; these condolences had
been sacred things. And indeed there was
no opportunity for further speech on this
subject; for presently old George Bethuns
made his appearance, radiant, buoyant,
high-spirited, with q sonorous stanzs from
Tannahill to greet the awakening Of the new
day.
Now no sooner had Lord Mussslburgh ar
rived on board the Villeggiatura on the
same morning than Mrs Ellison went to
him and told him all her story, which very
much surprised him, and also concerned him
not little, for it seemed as though he was
in a measure responsible for what had hap
pened to Vincent.

assure you of one thing; it is quite true that
your nephew was in the room when Mr..
Bethune and his granddaughter called on
me, but am positively certain that there
was no introduction and that he did not
speak a single word to them there. How he
got to know them I cannot imagine; nor how
they could have become so intimate that he
should ask them to be his guests down hsle
at Henley. And his sole guests, you say?-
Yes, admit, 1t looks queer. hope to

CLAIRE FoNTAINE.

But something far more strange and
wonderful happened to him the next morn
ing; and that was his first tete tete con-
versation with Maisrie Bethune. 1t was
quite unexpected, and even unsought; nay,
when he stepped outside and found that she
was alone on deck, he would have shrank
back, had that been possible, rather than
break in upon her solitude. For even here
at Henley, during the regatta time, which
may be regarded as the High Festival of
-Jovance and Filtration. there was no
thought OF pretty and insidious love making
in this young mans head or heart. There
was something mysteriously remote and re-
served about this isolated young creature,
