70 get them started last night and then
IL went out in about half an hour. Dr.
Lyons. however, delivered his lecture
20 a body OF much interested teachers
IN spite OF the delay and punctuation
We must have object work he said
1T is sometimes hard TO find stones 10
suit us, but the weather is always with
US. The observations should be sim
pie and regular. A good thermometer,
in the shade. Observations every day,
or twice or three times a day at the
same hour. The winds, clouds and
rainfall should be observed too. And
the barometric pressure if possible.
All this may be shown on charts by
means OF lines. Many people do not
understand the barometer. It simply
measures the pressure of the air. High
barometer means that the air at that
place is heavy. Low, that it is light.
The air will flow from high to low, and
that makes wind. Every teacher should
get at least two copies of the Pilots
chart-one for mid-winter and one for
midsummer. They show barometric
pressures and many other interesting
things.
Irregular winds, to continue where
we left off, are of two kinds, first, those
whose origin is above. Our rain Of
Monday came of this kind of wind. If
you noticed the clouds last week you
saw high clouds going in opposite di-
rection to the wind. These showed
that there were two layers of air. The
upper finally broke through, and the
result was the storm. One remarkable
feature of these winds is that rain often
falls with a rising barometer in them.
The other kind of irregular winds is OF
local origin. These winds are always
whirling, because the wind comes from
all directions toward the point where
the air is lightest. They are of two
kinds, (a) dust WhirlS, over dry plains,
always in the daytime, and in calm
weather, harmful only in great des-
erts; OBJ ordinary storm winds, called
by scientists cyclones. The thunder
storm is variety of cyclone. The day
is calm and the sun is hot. The air is
sultry, i. e., hot and wet. 1t goes up,
cOndenses, forms clouds, wind springs
up blowing from all directions toward
the cloud. the cloud spreads the thun-
der begins 10 roll, the wind dies out,
and the rain falls in torrents. Tornado
is the proper name for a destructive
cyclone a tornado is a cyclone with
in q cyclone" DR.. Lyons then gave a
very interesting account of tornado
he was in in Florida and exhibited a
number of charts.

GOLD SHIPPED TO CANADA.
Drain Upon United States BanIs-Get.
ting Serious.


CHICAGO. Aug. A special from
New York 10 the Tribune says: The
syndicate of foreign bankers which
came into existence to check the drain
on the United States Treasury reserve
eXerted by Europe has been signally
successful in its efforts in that direc-
ton, but the Withdrawals of gold for
shipment to Canada continue.
1t was very generally said in official
and banking circles down town that all
the gold withdrawn for Canada nets
supposed shippers a premium of at
least one-half OF 1 per cent. over ana
above any profit on the exchange trans
action. The agents of the Canadian
banks Indignantly deny that the gold
is withdrawn Tor the sake of the pre-
MUM on it: that It is simply sent to
Canada because il IS cheaper to send
gold than exchange. They say that as
the money is owing and has to be re-
mitted when called for, gold has to be
sent because Of the lmpOssibility of get
ting exchange except at much greater
expense.
The effect OF heavy Withdrawals from
| banks last week IS partly offset by the
knowledge that the bankers syndicate
has been extended until it is now said
$3.50, coo, 900 of exchange can be supplied
if necessary between now and election
time. The syndicate was originally
formed to furnish S50,0OO,O 900 to SIS
600, 600.
The Chicago banks volunteering to
strengthen the Treasury with some of
their gold have made all of their depos-
its at the Chicago Sub-Treasury Cash
| Ter Pratt said the total amounted to
81, 425,000. The gold IS now being weigh
ed for shortage.
All coins falling below a ten-grain
limit must be made good by the banks
depositing. Thus far in the test the
gold has been found OF standard weight.
The deposits bring the supply of the
yellow metal in the Chicago Office up to
81, 100000.

THE HOWL OF THE WOOL MEN.

Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, who is
the president of the Wool-Growers' AS
ISOLATION and their spokesman, will
be satisfied with nothing less than a
bounty to wool-growers. lie says the
new Dingley horizontal tariff gives
no protection at all; inadequate pro-
lection is no better than free wool. !"
lie says the Mckinley tariff was also
a failure, that under it prices of woods
constantly declined, and the result
would soon have been a failure 10 Sc
cure prosperity to American sheep
husbandry. Even in Texas, where the
cost of growing wool is as low, if not
less, than in any other State, sheep de-
elined in numbers from 4,2iS,sl2 in
1890 to ESQ, 269 in 1894.
This ought TO teach Mr.. Mckinley
that when an interest gets hold Of the
teat, it will never turn loose, will never
be satisfied, but like Oliver Twist
continually say, please sor, / want
some more" There is no satisfying
men who think the government ought

ness The only thing to do is to let
each business take care of itself, as

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

The Senatorial situation in Ken
lucky is most complicated. On joint
ballot the Legislature is tie,
with the two Populists not voting.
1t seems to be conceded that one Pop
ulist will vote with the Democrats and
one with the Republicans. If so, the
tie remains. The Democrats have the
Senate and no partisan legislation
and no gerrymandering can succeed.
The Republicans have the House. Their
hope of success lies in turning out the
Democrats whose seats are contested.
All along we have expected them to do
this and thus take the Senatorship.
But il seems they will have some diff
Guilty in doing this. The Democratic
Senator'S have served notice that II
such high handed methods are resorted
to they will refuse to go into joint
session and prevent the election OF
Senator during the constitutional linn
it of sixty days.
The situation in both parties is com
plicated. Blackburn and McCreary are
making a hot fight for the Democratic
caucus nomination. Blackburn s
friends seem confident and it is be-
lieved if Blackburn is the nominee the
two Populists will vote for him, thus
securing his election. One Of the Pop
ulists (Poore) gave a pledge, however,
before the election that he would vote
with the Republicans. special from
Frankfort to the Atlanta Constitution
says: ut is not certainty by any
means that Poore will do this
The Republicans are confronted,
also, with a hot fight for the caucus
nomination, the chief aspirants being
Congressman Evans and Congressman
Hunter, with the chances that Cover
nor-elect Bradley will step in and take
the plum, if Republican caucus nomi-
nation carries plum with it.

ner is the first native born Congress-
man elected from this State to call the
war between the States the ''Rebel-

he is drifting. The Colonel is MAX

his colored constituents and thereby
insulting every ex-Confederate in the

HEAVY GOLD WITHDRAWALS s.
The True Amount of the Reserve is
Now Only S58, 326,7Io.

Washington, Jan. THE Treasury
to-day lost 81, 1884, 900 in gold bars and
$1,096,000 in gold coin, and received
from the Mercantile National bank
of New York 100000 in exchange for
currency making the net loss for the
dav $2.159,00O. This leaves the true
amount of the reserve at the close
of business SOS, no. In financial
circles here the fear is expressed that
to-day's heavy Withdrawals are but
the beginning Of heavy expectations.
It is recalled that during last Jan
uary the Withdrawals amounted to
about S45.000, 900 OF which 100000 900
were withdrawn in two weeks, and
over $1,000, 900 in one day. The fact
that thirty days must elapse before the
new bond issue can be closed and the
contracts awarded seems to add TO the
anxiety heretofore felt, and in some
quarters the opinion is expressed that
before the first of February arrives the
gold reserve will have been reduced
considerably below any point it has
reached hitherto.
ANOTHER BIG SHIPMENT TODAY.
New York, Jan. Considerable in
gold shipping houses to-day, and adj
ditional orders were given after the
close of business. The actual amount
to be shipped tomorrow is $2,725,000
and this total is below previous esti-
mates. 1t is currently believed that
the exports for the week will exceed
$4,000
1t was rumored that very large ag-
gregate amounts of gold had been de-
posted at the sub-treasury in exchange
for greenbacks. The only definite in
formation that came to hand on this
point was of two deposits of 100000
each, one by Zimmerman & Forshay,
bullion dealers who have been import
ers of the precious metal, presumably
i'm behalf of the Morgan bond syndi-
cate, and the other by the Mercantile
bank of New York. So far as could be
learned these deposits don't reflect any
concerted treasury relief movement by
the banks and the objct of the deposits
was concealed in both instances.

THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.
A Way Pointed Out by Which the Diff
Guilty MAY be Settled.

London, Jan. Mfr. Henry Norman,
special commissioner of The Daily
Chronicle, cables his paper as follows:
There is a heroic way of settling the
whole difficulty fraught with honor
to both governments and with results
OF priceless worth to both peoples.
The present delay consist in the fact
that the United States Government
considers itself honor bound to insist
upon certain course which the Brit
jsh government considers itself in hon
or bound to refuse to adopt. Every
day spent here has convinced me
more strongly that it is impossible to
exaggerate the seriousness of such an
international situation. If the British
public is misled by the optimistic senti-
ments of New York il may find itself
suddenly face to face with an appall-
ing danger. IL the American govern
ment acts only in the belief that be-
cause Great Britain is threatened with
an European crisis therefore she will
knuckle down to an American demand,
it may suddenly discover that the Eu-
ropean crisis has blown over and that
war with England is on its hands. In
All the government departments here
the situation is regarded as very Sc
rious, despite every effort made on be-
half of peace.
Nov, the kernel of the dispute be-
ing the principle of arbitration, the
solution may be found therein also.
If Lord Salisbury will say that, al
though he must maintain his refusal
to arbitrate on Venezuela by itself he
is prepared to conclude a treaty with
the United States under which all
uestions failing of diplomatic settle
ment shall be submitted to arbitration,
