WIND AND WEATHER.
A Low Barometer Accompanies a Coo
Gale From the North.

A Low barometer Accompanies Cool
Gale From the North.
The Signal Service temperatures at 5
A. NJ. and 3 P. NJ. yesterday were ZOE and
7l0, while the highest and lowest were 76o
and co., with fresh to brisk northwesterly
winds and cloudless sky.
The barometrical readings at 5 A. NJ.
and P. NJ. were 29.65 and 1894 inches.
showing an unusually low barometer for
this season, without the appearance OF a
cloud, which is no doubt due to the de-
creased amount of moisture in the air.
For instance, when this northerly breeze
began to blow, on the 18th; the relative
humidity in the atmosphere at A. NJ.
was 81 per cent. (which is complete
saturation). at p. NJ. the same day, ~
per cent; at \. NJ. the 18th, 90 per cent;
at P. NJ. the 18th, 50 per cent; at 3 A. NJ.
the Goth, 81 per cent, and at 5 p. NJ to-
day, the 10th, IS per cent; showing that
the percentage of the amount of moisture
in the atmosphere at the A. NJ. observa-
ton had decreased from 81 per cent. to 81
per cent, and from the 3 p. NJ. obServa-
tion from AZ per cent. on the 18th to 50 on
the 10Th, and increased yesterday to IS
per cent. Thus, although the wind is
blowing from the northwest, its drying
qualities have been squelched, and it is
now increasing in moisture.
No doubt we shall soon have a moist
southerly breeze, and under such circum-
stances our grain raisers need fear no
failure in crops, for their grain will be
out of the way of another severe norther
Although the wind continued from the
north, heavy clouds obscured the sky in
the southwest after 6 o'clock last evening,
and the velocity of the wind was in
creased to quite q gale.

RAMIE ROOTS.
Superintendent Murray Has Them
Now Growing Here,
He Expects to Have Surprise In Store
for Visitors at the Next
State Fair.

w. III. Murray, Superintendent of
Ramle Culture in California, is in the city
attending to the planting of some of the
roots here. Mr.. Murray is an enthusiastic
worker in the cause of ramie, and is de-
tern1ined on making a showing before
the year passes. He is hampered some
what, however, by the refusal of Con-
troller Colgan to draw warrants to defray
the expenses incurred in setting out the
plants in different portions of the State
Mr.. Colgan is inclined to believe that
proper fund was not created by the Leg
islature out of which money expended
for this purpose can be drawn.
Attorney-General Hart thinks the Con-
troller could safely draw warrants, and
considers the intent of the Legislature in
the passage of the bill creating the office.
1t must have known that there would be
expenses incurred, outside of the salary
Of the Superintendent
See that new exposition building over
there" said Mr.. Murray to a RECoRB-
UNION reporter yesterday. well, right
in the conservatory in the southwest cor
ner, where the west and south wings of
the building join, I've got fifty ramie
plants growing in boxes filled with earth,
and they are doing firSt-rate. They are
already four feet in hight. and I tell you
when the people come to Sacramento
during the next State Fair we will have
something there that will surprise them.
Those plants will be almost twelve feet
In hight, and visitors will be enabled to
get an idea of what ramie really is. We
propose to have all the necessary ma
chlnery ready to cut and work the ma
terlal, and l have an idea it will be one
OF the features Of the exhibition at the
pavilion
Mr.. Murray has had plowed a strip of
ground ten feet wide along the west side
OF the south wing of the building. and a
similar piece adjoining the west wing and
on the south side Of it. The work was
done yesterday, and the w. r. Strong
Company has undertaken to plant 400
ramie roots in this space.
Mr.. Murray has obtained permission to
use the city water, free of charge and
estimates that the plants will be over five
feet high by September. He states also
that Mr.. Williamson is going to planttwo
hundred roots in space fifty feet square
On the grounds surrounding the exhibit
building near the depot. This work will
be commenced Immediately.
'People out here have no idea what
demand there is for this product" said
Mr.. Murray. Il have an order now for
1000 tons from firm in Boston, and will
endeavor to fill it as soon as l can. An
other thing which is not generally known
is the fact that moths cannot live in car
pets made of ramle, and the finest kinds
OF carpet can be made from the fiber of
this plant"
Mr.. Murray carries with him a book
containing ramie statistics, and also
samples of cloth made from the fiber of
the plant, and appears to take delightin
giving information on the subject of its
culture.

FREEPORT ROAD
1t Is Being Converted Into Handsome
Driveway.

'We will have the finest road in Cali
fornia, and one of the finest in the United
States, when that job is finished" re-
marked prominent resident of Freeport
to RECoRD-UNIoN reporter yesterday,
when asked how the task of crawling
the Freeport road was progressing.
According to this gentleman's state
ment, about mile of the road is now
graveled near Freeport, and the work
would be continued as long as the dis
trict's money held out. Residents of this
vicinity have always been noted for their
go-ahead qualities, and it is not to be
wandered at that they intend making
theirs the one great road of the county.
The road is being graded, and the
gravel that is used is rocker-washed and
brought down on fiat cars from r. W.
Parker's pits, at Folsom. Freeport
folks hope that their road will by this i'm
provement become a favorite one for
persons who are in the habit of taking
evening and Sunday drives.
