Horace johnson, who is styled the
Connecticut weather prophet, predicts
a v Winter, and figures it out on
the following points: The phenom-
enally large hay crops of the country ;
the hard, thick shells of crabs; the
thick corn husks; the abundant fleece
inside the husks. the high and
strongly-constructed muskrat huts and
the heavy fur of squirrels. Coons are
unusually fat, too, and horses and cat
tie have put out a very thick coat OF
hair. All these indications, Johnson
says, r signs OF a hard Winter COM
ing. Mr.. Johnson is the man who
predicted the great blizzard OF nearly
three wears ago.

WHY SOLDIERS BREAK SrEp. There
arc very few bridges in the worlt
over which troops are allowed To
march In regular step. In general,
when Coming to q bridge, particularly
suspension bridge, the drums or
bands are stopped. the array is
broken and tho soldiers pass over
without keeping step, or,rrather, tax
ing pains not to deep step.
The reason Is found in the fact that
q very slight initial vibration. IL con,
tinued, Is impaired to tbs whole
structure. and In q short time be-,
comes so strong downward strain at
every recurrence as speedily to en-,
danger fhe safety OF the stron gess
bridge.
The same principle is illustrated In
some houses. which can he made to

persistently and regularly pressing
with the foot ON a loose board in one
of the floors.
A similar curioss circnm. stance is
