Sergeant James A. Barwick, Observer
of the Signal Corps, U. 5. A, and Mete-
orologist to the State Board of Agricult-
ure, has laid upon our table the Annual
Meteorological Review for California for
$780," as reported to the State Agricult-
ural Society. 1t is volame of over 100
pages. To catalogue its contents would
be to occupy more space than we have at
command. We have examined its tables
and text carefully and can say that it is
an elaborate exposition and entitled to
shelf room among the best works of its
kind. Sergeant Barwick has introduced
in it valuable papers relating to Calltor-
nia production and several articles by
observers and writers, notably some by
Lieutenant Finley of the Signal Corps.
One of the novelties is a weather map,
such as are issued by Lieutenant Finley
at San Francisco. There are papers from
Camille Flammarion on the planet Mer-
curry; by Felix l.. Oswald on Powers of
the Air; from the Scientific American"
on orange interests and the ladybird;
reports by volunteer observers on
weather for the year; his own tabulated
observations and comments; on Gil
matte Changes by w. II. Ii. Murray; on
Dew by a. X. Bartlett, etc. 1t is a work
OF high value and one to be preserved for
reference.
Perhaps the most enjoyable thing in
the June "Wide Awake" is the story,
The Pursuit of Happiness" by Tudor
jerks. A beautiful romance is by Annie
Bronson King, under the title, This
Way Went the Lady Mary to Paradise"
ga Vermont Boys Trip to Boston in
1885," is from the pen OF ohm L. Heaton,
with pictures by Garrett. Amanda
