Savannah One of the Places Where
observations Are 10 BE Made.
Savannah has been designated by the
interna tional cloud committee as one Of
the three cities outside Of Washington
in which cloud observations are 10 be
made during this year Beginning with
this month series Of cloud observations
viii be made by nearly all the meteorolog-
zeal services Of the world, in order that
the conditions which prevail in the upper
atmosphere may be studied and such re-
suits obtained as to be OF greatest value
In forecasting weather changes and the
accompanying cloud formations.
The international cloud committee has
provided for a series Of observations on
the form, hight and velocity Of clouds,
to continue for one year from May l.
Each meteorological service Is expected
to maintain one or more stations OF the
first class, at which full series of 0D-
servations will be made with theodolites
or photo-grammeters and a number Of
stations Of the second class. at which
observations Of the direction of the cloud
from the observer, its angular eleva-
ton above the horizon, the direction OF
it's motion, and its apparent velocity will
be made at least three times daily. Be
tween and o'clock a. m, noon and
o clock p. m, and from TO O'Clock
in the evening, and on special occasions
during the passage Of cyclones and anti
cyclones. perhaps oftener:
Prof. Willis l.. Moore, chief of weather
bureau, has had the object of upper air
observations in mind continually, and in
his last annual report said the Weather
bureau was devoting considerable time
and study for the beginning OF such work
In pursuance Of this policy the clou1
work Of the bureau during the coming
year Is to be conducted as spoken OF
above. At Washington the work will be
carried on in an elaborate manner. There
are three cloud observing stations OUT
side of the city of Washington, and the
chief of bureau has designated that Sa-
vannah shall be one of these.

WHARF Thieves Are Trained.

1t is fact that is not generally known
that in the east end Of London there are
still in existence several training houses
for thieves. Although the police keep a
strict and severe watch upon them, these
houses sometimes do n flourishing busi-
ness, and the proprietors are so cautious
move about so continuously, and take such
elaborate precautions that 1t Is only with
the greatest difficulty that any reliable evil
dence can be obtained against them. NOT
only that, but at the best of times, with
the most conclusive evidence, detective
often attacks them at the risk of his lie.
A short time ago man was arrested
and charged with burglariously breaking
into the house of n lady and stealing a
quantity of silver plate and other articles;
This arrest led to revelations. 1t transplred
that he was somewhat celebrated trainer
of burglars and had been wanted by the
police for months. At the time he was
sentenced no less than four OF his pupils
were in prison, and some half dozen Others
were being carefully watchcd.-Pearson

The Waves of an Iron Bridge.

A train always exerts greater STRAIN
ON an iron bridge when going quickly
than when going slowly, but the diner
ence in the strain depends ON the struc-
ture of the bridge and is much more IN
some cases than in others. When the
train goes over the bridge, 1t causes
wave to travel along the structure, ow-
ing TO the elasticity Of the iron.
That part of the bridge just in front
Of the train is raised little, and the
mart under the train is lowered, SO that
each part of the bridge is successively
raised and lowered as the train goes
over it, and the more quickly the tram
travels the more sudden this Will be-
and consequently the more violent.
The strain produced will vary with
the square of the velocity of the wave
SO that the train will exert four times
tho strain when it doubles its velocity
and nine times when it triples It's We

What 10 to 1 Has Never Done.

1t has never kept gold and silver at a
parity.
1t has never once given us, under free
coinage, practical bimetallism-that is,
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver.
The ratio of l6 to l was adopted in
1884. 1t represented the then CONNER
cial ratio, the market values of the two
metals.
In the 40 years following the adoption
Of this ratio and up to 1874 there were
coined less than 1000, 600 silver dol
lars, or not so many by 500, 900 as were
coined from Jan. to July l IN this
year.
And never during the whole period
did gold and silver circulate freely to-
gether as equal money. What reason has
Mr.. Bryan for his firm conviction
that they will do so now under free
coinage, when the difference in the com
mercial ratio is far greater than at any
time during the period from 1884 &c
1873?

The Voice of Nature.

The voice of nature is none other than
the voice of God. Our Lord Himself
tried to teach us that God, Of whom we
speak as SO far and so silent, is very
near and is speaking to us all day long.
We think ourselves very pious If with
narrow liberalism and stupid supersti-
ton we profess to worship the words OF
holy books, written hundreds Of years
ago, as though they Were the only voice
in which God ever had spoken or could
speak to us, and all the while we lose
the whole significance of our Saviour's
lessons from that other book OF God
whose secret lies ever open to the eyes
which will read TT. w. Farrar.
