ABSOLUTELY PURE
Weather and MeteOrOlOgy.

Let us illustrate the difference between
weather and meteorology. A man sets out
from his warm and comfortable suburban
house. He finds thin but vigorous snow
storm beating in his face. The wind is
strong and chilling without being tempest
uous. The particles of snow sting his skin ;
the wind Whistles in his ears. He finds it
rough, wiutry day. He says as much to
other suburbans who are coming edgewise
up to the station, and they agree with him.
This is weather or condition of the air az
fecting human bodies or minds.
Now at the top of the cupola on the roof
of the postolIice, on the same day, there is
a thermometer of extreme nicely of con-
struction, aud an thermometer, which meas
ures every puff of wind, and rain guage
or snow guage or whatever it may be-
There is no human being there out of
doors. Everything is automatically record
ed, and man merely comes out occasional
" and waits on these machines. They re-
cord and record all day, and at the END OF
the day their records are summed up into
figures, which say that the temperature was
above the normal, and the wind was of
moderate velocity, and the precipitation
was half an inch your rough wintry day
has vanished in column of unmeaning fg-
ures.
Now, monthly meteorological report"
is but an aggregation of such unfeeling fig
ures, and while all these days may have
left total impression on the part of all the
people who experienced them Of unusual
roughness and wintriness, the monthly me-
theological report tells there has been an
excess" of 43 219 plus degrees Of tempers-
ture during the month That is meteorolo-
gy.
But people do not care about meteorolo-
gy. The thing that interests them is
weather.-Boston Transcript.

The pet dog is passing through a trying time. What with his long coat of hair, the dog catcher and the fieas, life is indeed burden. It is an odd bit of information. which may be news to some, that the reason dogs suffer so from the heat and pant so is because they never per- spire. In fact. no other animal than man does perspire save the horse. and the COW does a tiny bit just above her nose.
 The long haired canine pct is a thing of much attention. The watch fu and wary can avoid the dog catcher. but no one can guard against the flea The best way Co ahate the nuisance Is to each morning rub thoroughly into the hair of tho dog a goodly quantity of Persian insect powder, The dog should first tse laid on a large white cloth amply strewD with the powder, then comb industriously. and the fleas will every one drop oif. Icing stupefed by the powder.
 This course Is advised in prefer, enee to too much washing with dog soap, as the soap only partially does away with the iieas and makes the coat too dry and harsh. To cut tho hair makes it grow out ooar7ser and heavier-in fact. ruins the texture. as the soap does the gioss and smooth. ness. New York Herald.

LARGE WATER STORAGE EN-
 TERPRIsE.

The future development of the agricultural resources of this terri tory will be by means of water storage. Nearly all the available natural supply of water has been utilized aud reservoirs for catching and holding the flood waters of the streams will have to be resorted to in the future. There seems to be little doubt that the Walnut Grove dam will be rebuilt during the com ing summer This will afford water supply for the reclamation of thou sands of acres of very rich agricul- tural lands, as we'll as for washing the gold from very rich placer grounds and for motive power.
 Another water storage enterprise equal or even greater than the above has recently been snaugurated by W. W. Horton. a New York gentle man, who has just returned from the site of the proposed dam by which 1t is intended to catch the waters of large area of country and utilize them for irrigation and mining purposes. Mir. Horton was accompanied on his trip by Profes- sor Blandv and W. If. Smith, who made some surveys of the country from which the former has prepared a map of the country in which the enterprise will be located. The site selected for the dam is on the Bill Williams Fork of the Colorado river, a short distance below the mouth of the Santa Maria river. The dam will be ll0 feet high, aud t is estimAted will have a storage ca pacity of 40,OOOOO0O0O gallons of water, or about four times the eapac. ity of the largest dam now tn exist ence inthe United States.
 The title of the company is inc Western Arizona Water Company. IL will have a dual purpose, that of irrigation and mining. Water will be conveyed by means of largo steel pipes down the canyon a dis tance of fifteen or eighteen miles where it will empty into canals and be used for irrigaiing thousands of acres of as choice land as can be found anyEhere. The land pro posed to be brought under cultiva- ton by the enterprise all hes in Yuma county.
 Along the Bill Williams Fork ara also gold bearing placer groands which have been successfully worked for years by means of dry washing, and which, by this crude method have paid well.
 The capital required for carrying out the enterprise will be about S750,OO0, but we doubt If capital could secure S more inviting pTopo- sition for investment than this or one which would yield such good returns

One Is rasped to force the ballot to the bottom of the box, and has letters or marks to desig- nate the ward and precinct in which Ii is voted. The ballot also passes over self-feediug cylinder betWeea two other rollers which aid in it's deposit. The nachise is worked by a single revolution of a crank, which also registers the num- beT of each ballot and rings a bell as Is 1t deposited. The bell notifies the judges that another ballot has been cast and the voter that it has been safely deposited. The box is also provided with a key to throw the mechanism out of gear when the polls have been closed. $. F. Exchange.
