Cluster Chronicle.
JOSEPH KUBLER, . PUBLISHER

Washington saw a parhelion at y
o'clock the other day. This phenom"-
non in usual parlance is called a sun
dog, and is peculiar to more northerly
ATTITUDES han that of Washington.
The parhelion in question was exceed
ingly brilliant and was observed 10y
thousands OF people. The sky was
hazed and presented a dull. milky APP
pcarance. The outer circles had a
radius of about 90 degrees, the sun nc-
cupying the enter of the circle. The
inner edge Of the circle was red ana well
defined, but the outer edge was not SO
well defined. The sky within the halo
was much darker than ii was for n dis
lance of several degrees without the
halo. The light. as is always the case
I'm parhelia, was polarized in the diioc-
ton of a tangent 10 the circumference
proving that the light had suffered re-
fraction. This halo was formed 10y the
refraction Of the light OF the sun
through the crystals OF ice floating in
the atmosphere.

A physician points out that several
fallacies are common with regard TO the
weight of the human body. The man
who congratulates himself on his gain
Of several pounds in weight over a given
period may have no cause for rejoicing,
for he may be under Il delusion, Very
few persons, says this investigator, haN"
any correct idea of their own weight,
As a matter Of fact the weight Of the
body is continuously changing, owing TO
innumerable influences. ON a warm day
after breakfast a man will lose more
than a third Of a pound per hour. Sev-
enty per cent Of the body consists Of
water, and its weight varies constantly.
The inference To be drawn from the loss
or gain Of a pound or W. may be mis-
trusted. Fluctuations of a few ounces
are Il sign that the body is i'm "A healthy
state.

An engineer has pointed out that one
inch of rain falling upon an area Of one
square mile is equivalent To nearly H.
500. coo gallons. weighing 1i5, 200, 600
pounds. or ~, 600 tons. Assuming this
water to have fallen from clouds about
half a mile, or say 1900 feet above the
earth. we have for the energy repre-
scented by ii about 1000 horse power.
With pumping machinery working At
the low rate of consumption of two
pounds of coal per horse power per
hour ii would take 200 gross tons OF coal
To raise the water represented by one
inch OF rain on a square mile To- the as
sumed height of 5000 feet. As a matter
of fact, rain often falls from clouds
which are at much greater height than
5000 feet above the ground. so that the
figures given are quito conservative
ones.
