THE STORMS 'SPATH.
A Study of Our Weather
Phenomena.
ON WET AND DRY WINTERS.
rarsden Manson Reads an Interest
ing Paper Before the Members
of the Society.

Marsdan Manson read an extremely in
teresting paper last night before the men,
bers of the Mechanics Institute, which
held its quarterly meeting in the art gal
lery at the Pavilion. The subject of the
paper was "The Importance to California
of North Pacific Weather Stations" and
in treating OF this subject Mr.. Manson
found opportunity to discuss the conditions
which affect the weather of the continent
generally.
Investigation and study have demon
strated that the track of storms across the
continent has been very nearly the same
from the earliest time to the present." said
he. "This track or belt very nearly COIN
cides with the boundary line separating
Canada from the United States, and is Of
the average width OF six degrees.
That this in general has been the path
way of the storms passing around the
gl ODE is proved by the fact that the noun
tains in this track have been worn down
and there are no such peaks as are to be
found on either side of the imaginary line,
thus shown that through all the ages the
elements have expended the most of their
force, and what might have been rugged
mountains now are mountain ranges

approach those that tower on either side.

The guards at the House of Correction
are compelled to be on the alert on visiting
days to prevent opium being smuggled in
by visitors to friends who are prisoners.
Several arrests have recently taken place,
but the smuggling still goes on.
Yesterday was visiting day and two

see two young men who are serving terms
for vagrancy. The guards had reason to
believe that on previous visits these girls
had been clever enough to supply their
male friends with the drug and Depu-
ties Barber and Nealou determined to
keep close watch on their movements.
They saw them hand some lines to the
young men and they promptly seized the
lines. Sure enough the inside OF the fruit
had been scooped out and the space filed
with opium. the dissected peel being glued
togather.
Kitiie and Ella were placed under arrest
and were taken to the Seventeenth-street
station In the patrol wagon and booked on
the charge Of smuggling opium into the
