Signal Officer Barwick Reports the
Barometer as Falling.
The Signal Service temperature at A.
NJ. and P. NJ. yesterday was 490 and 73o,
while the highest and lowest was 74O and
4S0, with gentle to fresh southwesterly
winds and cloudless sky. The barom-
etrical readings at 5 A. NJ. and P. NJ were
5000 and 29.98 inches, which shows that
the barometer is affected by the low
barometer and storm area in Washington
and Oregon.
The highest and lowest temperature one
year ago yesterday was 70o and 470, and
one year ago to-day 760 and 500.
There was quite low barometer, ac-
companied by rising temperature and
rainy weather. in Washington and North
ern and Central Oregon, where an appre-
ciable rainfall was noted.

niece IN the neck with the pitchtork came
over him he would rush ont aud stab the
figure got him into an asylum and he
was eventually cured.
II remember another case where man
in Arkansas wrote me saying that one
day while he was digging in the garden
his little cLa4d came running out to play.
As soon as ne saw her sudden desire to
kill her with the spade came over him.
He said the feeling was so strong that ho
had to tell the child to leave the garden.
Afterwards he declared that he feared he
would kill his family wrote him to 90
to an ASYLUM Immediately, because If ho
did not the mania would grow and he
would certainly kill some one, in which
event he would be morally as guilty as if
he had planned the murder in his sober
senses.
THE case of De Mallard, the French
man, is.a noted one, and from the fact
that the victims were all women it is
peculiarly interesting. He used to adver-
tise for servant girls When they came
he would lead them of to some secluded
spot aud murder them. There was no
other object than mad thirst for human
blood lie is known to have murdered
six women in this way, and is supposed to
have killed many more whose bodies were
never discovered. He was executed. The
books are full of such cases, and they are
not confined to men, either. Women have
figured quite as prominently. One French
woman between 1858 and 1857, murdered
over twenty people She used poison in
every instance, and her victims included
relatives, ueighbors, physicians and nuns.
She attended II number of her victims
while they We're ON their deathbeds and
gave every evidence Of being deeply
affected Perhaps she was. OF course
she had no object except an insane desire
to see people die

of which are of the same general family.
In some cases it is kleptomania, in others
mania for suicide in others for murder,
