WAGONS LATEST PROPHECY
TIE GREATEsr STORM OF THE YEAR
APPROACHING TIE AMERICAN
COAST.

Ottawa, Ontario. March, o.
Prof E. Stone Virgins, the Canad-
ian weather prophet, after che calm
following the Dominion election, has
again attracted public attention. He
said to the Times correspondent to-
night:
There is at this moment on the
North Atlantic and approaching the
American coast a greater storm than
any that will Happen during the re-
mainder of this year or any during
1892. There will be no earthquakes
beyond a few shakes north of our
equator during these two years.
There will be some south Ofthe equa-
tor. Owing to Jupiter's southern de
c!ination, which is 10, his large right
ascen sion, twenty-five hours, wi |
contribute greatly to the storm now
pending"
When asked if the equinoxes Of
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn would in
fluence our atmosphere, he laughed
and said nc, but that this would pro-
duce a heavy storm on each of these
planets, but could not effect the earth.
t'Prot. Foster. an American Sc enlist,
he said Enormously claimes that the
cyclones in the South and the heavy
rains are fulfil ments of Fosters pre-
dictions abouta great storm period
this year. There will be no great
earthquakes with displacement in
North America until Aug, IT, 1904,
This will rock tne surface from Phi

that it can only be attained by knowledge
OF the geological formations of California,
from tie seabOard to the summit OF the
Sierras and the confines of Nevada, and
that such knowledge can only be acquired
by palnStaking aud care III research, and lhe
amassing OF all the details bearing upon the
question. The thousand and one details
upon which the geological problems OF the
country are based do not present themselves
all at once. They are frequently only incl
dental to the prosecution of mining or other
enterprises, and, although for the moment
they may excite comment in the immediate
vicinity OF their occurrence unless syStemati-
cally preserved by the bureau, they would
soon be lost in the rush of events.
1t cannot be expected that such work
can be done in season or two, as inquiry
into the geological surveys of England or

such geological investigations have been
many years in progress, and are still pro-

of Them.
DR.. A. E. BuZard, veterinary surgeon, has
returned from Monterey County and sec
ond official tour of a fortnight made at the
request of the Supervisors of The county, to
cause to be destroyed animals afflicted with
the CHAMBERS. He visited the same ground,
Salinas Valley, covered by him some four
or five months ago, and where thirty-three
horses were killed then only one was found
in Paris Valley on this second inspection.
A visit was also paid to a new district,
known as Stacks Canyon, about fifteen

pears there has been much loss of horse
flesh, though the nature of the disease was
never suspected during these four or five

$1,000 worth of horsefiesh, but only one case
was found to exist, though there had been
many deaths. Several well-auIhentieated
cases of human beings dying from CHAMBERS
have also been traced in the county.

STATE MINING BUREAU,
A Place Visited by More Than
$4,000 During the Year 1880.

Prominent among the State institutions is
tile California State Mining Bureau. AS is
well known, one object of this bureau is to
preserve systematic record of the annual
statistics OF mining, and to provide reposi-
tory where specimens OF the minerals of the
State are exhibited, and reliable information
concerning their character and the where
abouts of their occurrence may be OBJ
tanned. Another, is to gather in the field
and to record such details as may supple
ment previous geological Investigation and
result in knowledge, not only of the geo.
logical conditions under which minerals of
economic value may b. found in California,
but also of the relation the geological forma-
tions of the State bear to agricultural prob
lens. The satisfactory manner in which the
field work of this institution has progressed
and its records have been kept during the
last few years is fully demonstrated by it's
reports, especially the tenth, which has Just
been published.
From this report it Is ascertained that the
register of the institution shows that over
$4,000 people visited the museum In the new
Pioneer building during the year $780, which
was an increase of some 1000 over 1889 1t
is also stated that this by no means shows
the entire number visiting the museum, be-
cause vast number failed to record their
names. This not only demonstrates the
value of the institution as a means of popu-
lar education, but is satisfactory evidence of
an increasing desire on the part of the gen.
eral public to avail themselves of the means
of instruction and information concerning
the minerals of California. which the State
has placed at their disposal. 1t is obvious
that, as the requirements of rapidly deyel-
oping country begin to press upon its inhab-
itants careful study of its mineral re-
sources should be maintained from year to
year, and that the occurrence of minerals of
present or probably future economic value
throughout the country should be brought
to light that definite record of their
whereabouts, value and quantity should be
preserved, and that full information,
together with samples of all such mineral
deposits, should be KEEP. ON hand, ready for
the inspection of those in search of such
minerals as may be required by the various
departments Of manufacture throughout the
world.
In order to accomplish so desirable an end
1t must be apparent to every one at all ac-
Quainted with mining or geological matters
