the vapor In tho air are Danielrs and Reg.
nsults hygrometers and Mason's hygrometer
also called the psychrometer A modification
of the latter, called the whirled psychrometer,
has recently been adopted by tho United States
Signal Service. This instrument is so arranged
that the bulbs of the wet and dry thermom-
eters are whirled through the air quito rapidly
for about 80 seconds before the observation is
taken.
In the case of the former instruments tho
bulbs are stationary and are exposed whore the
air has free circulation. There are other in
struments of this class, such as De Saussure's
hair hygrometer and tho drying tube, the OBJ
ject. of which is to extract the vapor from q
measured volume of air and to weigh it.
The action of the ordinary hygrometer Is to
show tho difference between the temperature
of the air and the temperature of the dew
point by cooling down the air in contact with
tho bulb of tho wet thermometer until the
mercury has reached its lowest point. By
noting the difference between tho reading of
the wet Thermometer and that of tho dry Their
mometer, which is placed beside it, factors are
obtained which will give the relative humidity
and dew point of the air. The bulb of the wet
thermometer is moistened by the use of small
piooe of muslin or wicking attached to it, and
immersing in q cup of water.

All early medicine is surrounded with mys-

over the patient. Col. Garrick Mallery says
the Cbata medicine men have a way of finding
ont what herb TO use by chanting songs about
different herbs or modes of treatment. The
song the patient shows preference for indicates
the remedy; therefore, / suppose, the patients
life depends on his own choice Of medicine.

all the lower tribes OF mankind. Among these
ruder peoples all sickness is explained to be
caused by harmful spirits that come from with
out and take up their uneasy abode in man.
Higher UP these demons are seen by trutle-
laden sinners or the Joey Bsgstock breed in the
midnight watches. Indians take every night
mare TO &c 4 revelation Of the affairs of the
spirit world; in fact. some Of the earlier tray
elers have said that tho Indians god was his
dreams. Every dream must be explained and
every disease must he treated by man who
has power over the spirits and can drive them
out; therefore the pTimeval medicine was prin-
cipaliy s0rcerv and cOnjuFation.
The Indian doctor Is a man who thinks he
has this power, and when he has a patient,
works by this beautifully simple and universal
rule; the bad spirit is there, scare or draw him

nothing OF anatomy or physiology, but he has

Everyone IL familiar with the fact that in
como states of the atmosphere "A piece of wet
cloth hung mp in u shady place will dry quickly;
and that sometimes the air Is so dry, as in the
Plateau regions of the West, that covers of
books curl up aud furniture cracks and opens
at tho joints, owing TO the evaporation of tho
small quantity of moisture that these articles
usually hold absorbed. On the other hand,
during tho rainy season. or In parts of tho
Middle and Southern States, where the air con-

is difficult to keep articles OF clothing and
furniture free from damp aud mold.
These differences depend on what Is termed
the humidity OF tho air,-that is TO say, on the
quantity OF vupur it contains. In the condl ltion
first referred 10 tho air Is said 20 be dry in the

From Topics Of the Time in The Century, }
The proposed Yosemite National Park,
described in our September number, has
become 9 reality by the enactment Of
General Vandevers bill. BY this result,
for which the people Of this country are
largely indebted to the activity of Mr..
Holman Of the House of Representatives
and Of Mr.. Plumb OF the Senate. not
only an important addition Is made to
the area of wonderful scenery reserved
for public use. but IN end is put. within
considerable limits to the depredations
OF lumbermen and sheep herders. An
other important gam, and one Of great
practical value, is the projection which
this new reservation lnsures to the head

Tu0lumne rivers-thus not only insurihg
alarger and steadier flowo of the cataracts
