A HOMEMADE BAROMETER.

There Is nojreason why every boy should
not possess a barometer of his own, which
he will find not only endlessly useful in
planning his little holiday trips, but which
will afford him Infinite interest as well.
All ne has TO do is to take a gramme of
each of the following substances: Cam
phor, saltpetre and ammonia salts and dis
solve them in about 10 drains Of alcohol.
When the dissolution Is complete, shake
the mixture well, and pour it into glass
bottle. one rather long for its width is pre-
ferred. Cork tightly and seal with wax,
so as to prevent the air from penetrating
into the bottle.
Expose this improvisedSbarometer on the
outside of the window, on the moth side of
the house, If possible and the crystalliza-
tons which are produced announce a
change In the weather.
Absolute clearness of the liquid denotes
fair weather.
If the liquid becomes disturbed, or roily
as We say, it is a sign of rain.
If downy masses form in the bottom Of
the bottle, it will freeze, or at least the
Thermometer will descend; the more these
masses rise toward the top, the more rigor-
Gus will the cold become.
Little stars in the liquid foretell a hard
storm.
Large flakes are a sign Of cloudy weather
or of snow.
Thread-llke objects in the top of the bot
tie indicate wind

say it runs around and around upon the
ground, digging little holes and tear
ing up the ground. Ii is pretty sight,
If you can get the nerve TO enjoy it.
Many people are made deathely sick by
lightning. This is not fear. This is
because the electricity in the air i'm
mediately preceding flashes Of light
ming has acted upon the nerves. The
result is that trembling feeling conse-
quent Upon what is called turning the
stomach" The electricity of these at
mOspheric disturbances does really turn
the stomach, throwing many people IL
to SILVER. Strictly speaking, this is
not fear. When such people feel like
rushing into a closed room and light
ing the gas or the candles they are I'M
consciously acting in a highly scientific
manner. Those whose nerves are up
set by Jh2se atmospheric disturbances
will find ii highly beneficial to sit in
MgE,ed room with the windows closed.
A man who loves to watch the light
ming in the fields, but whose wife en-
dures torture during his excursions into
the storm, dresses up habitually in pa
per Innings, and, with wooden soles
TO his shoes and a looking glass in his
pocket, goes forth and executes dances
of triumph while she observes him
from her point OF vantage, window.
Next thing there will be insurance
companies that guarantee you that YOU
will never be struck. But look out
for them! There will be a saving
clause somewhere that requires you al
ways to dress up in newspapers and
sleep in feathers.

In this wavering downward course 1t

easily.
Many people who are in constant fear
of lightning stuff their clothing with
straw to a certain extent. II they are
cycling through an open country, and
are certain a storm is coming up, and
IL they cannot tarry for it to go by,
they nut q layer of straw-a nOn-con-
ductOr-in their clothing, and speed
along confident of no harm.
theoretically a man should wear a
lightning rod in his hat if he would es-
cape being struck. This would work in
I many cases, but there would be ia
tally once out of three times, and the
fatal stroke would kill-dead! Not
shock. but actually kill, burning the

runs down the rod the house is scOrch-
ed by the line of fire. and sometimes
quite Injured; but nothing to what ii
would have been if that lightning stroke
had distributed itself evenly all over
the roof.
If man were to act on this princi-
pal and should stick a lightning rod
in his hat, the lightning would be at
tracJed by il and would pass along the
rod into the mans hat and so down
his spine-a decidedly unpleasant eX-
perience for him. The way to offset
this would be to wrap the rod in straw
and bury the end in the earth. The
representative lightning man would
have 10 take up his standstill in an
open field, near water if possible. He
would attach the lightning rod to his
hat and poke it down his clothes con-
meeting the lower end with a sheet of
water Thus. fixed for a storm, he
could defy stroke. This was tried,

Lightning, when ii leaves the clouds,
Is one big spark. If it were to descend
in that original form it would come
down like a falling star. But IL has a
long way to travel, and their air offers it
TO so much resistance that the light

to get through the air. The wind ef-
f5cts il, too. And when it touches the

PERALTA-REAVIS CASE.
Progress of the Trial of Reavis for
Conspiracy to Defraud Uncle
sam in Judge Laughlin's
Court.

In the United States district court,
Judge Laughlin presiding, the trial of the
cause entitled the United States of Amer
lea against James Addison Peralta Reavis
and Miguel Noe, conspiracy to defrand,
continues in progress, but will probably
be concluded tom borrow evening.
The indictment against the defendant,
who has for months been in the custody
of the U. S. marshal at the U. s. Jail con-
nected with the penitentiary, charges him
with conspiracy to defraud the United
States out of parts of its public lands by
the presentation and prosecution in the
United States court of private land
claims of an alleged grant of l3,00O,O 900
acres of land in Arizona and New Mexico
made by the kings of Spain to Don
Miguel de Peralta de la Cordoba, baron
of the Coloradoes, etc.
There is another similar case pending
in which Sandoval and Valencia, of Cali
fornla, are defendants as we'll as Reavif
and Noe, but this case will probably not
be tried this term. Warrants were sem
to California for the apprehension OF Noe
Sandoval and Valencia, the latter two
wanted as witnesses in pending trial
Noe escaped to Mexico and the other two
persons named are now ia Santa Fe.
great deal of time has been consumed
in reading the voluminous mass OF docu
mentary testimony, but, after this /
com pleted, it is presumed that rapl
progress will be made.
