William 2. Gladstone has upon his
corr>ry home HaWarden. a weather
1sue in the form of a British lion that
is Of copper so bright that in some
lights il looks as black as iron. The
lion has a curly tail and his head wears
the joyful expression of being about TO
spring upon its prey. The head of the
lion points to- where the wind lies. If
his head is at the north the wind is
north. The heaviest part OF weather

and the other blue. The large heavy
end is the one chat does the register
ing.
20 is a remarkable fact that, though
England put up weather vanes and
had it's factories before Columbus came
over here to- discover us. most of the
English weather vGuCs are now made

The youngstsr hasn't got it quite right

the difficulty before the boy Is out OF

Levi p Morton has very large In
dian feather upon his country house.
It is very ornamental has the corners
OF the compass underneath, and makes
a suitable finish 10 the finely trimmed
cupola of his magnificent seat. The
cost of such a vane is not over SlOO at
the most, and from that price down
ward you can get feather or an arrow
at all costs, down to $3.50, which IS
about as cheap as vanes ever come.
The weather vane ornament upon
Blenheim is a rooster. 1t is an Amerl-
can rooster, and was purchased and
placed there by Mrs. Hamersly when
she became the Duchess Of Marlbor-
ough. 1t is bright gold and is very
large. Its pole is 100 feet high, and the
bird itself from tail to head measures
six feet That is large for gold roost-
err Larger than that would reflect I'M
pleasantly upon the eyes from the dome
of private house.
HILLS WAVING VANE.
David B. Hill has a "banneret" upon
"Wofert's Roost." It is only three feet
long, and did not cost more than $50.
1t is dull black and is finished in some
of the dark ways referred to.
The secret Of the success of the Amer
lean weather vane is due to Yankee
ingenuity. The Americans have in
vented way of making the vane turn
around at the slightest puff of wind.
This ease Of action makes a vane in
valuable. A train of cars of copper,
covered with gold leaf and looking
large enough to hold fifty people, turns
around completely at a touch of the
finger laid on in the lightest way. At
a tap the train whirrs The secret of
the delicate adjustment is we'll kept
aand this is why foreigners send here
for weather vanes.
Mr. GladstOne's lion was shipped to
him in a big case, as carefully done up
as though it had been perishable fruit
and was destined to be cherished in
doors instead of being exposed to wind
and rain
\ blow never affects a weather vane,
for il runs before the wind, as it were;
but if the vane be too large for the stee-
pie it will shake the steeple as it re-
wolves. One of New York's largest
buildings had to have its costly, heavy
vane removed.
More horse vanes are sold than any
other design. Next come the arrows
and bannerets, and close to them come
the other animals. In the country a
finely turned plough is liked.
Weather signal men say that the
vanes are most interesting to observe
upon a windy day. and one Signal Ser
vice man has. within his range, a GER
tain vane which is the most delicate
one he has ever noticed 1t revolves
with a puff of air too faint to be OBJ
served by others, and warns him to get
ready TO observe changes.
The making of serviceable weather

There has never been such . storm
here since 1894.
Nearly every telegraph wire out o,
Savannah Is still prostrated. Storm
news is coming to the Morning News
from many points in Georgia and Flor
Ida by mail.
The storm appears to have struck
land at Tampa and swept northward
to Savannah, thence jumping on to
the north. All the correspondents
agree that the velocity of the wind
was unusually high, even for cy-
clone, but its duration at each place was
short-about an hour. Had the storm
been long continued, every thing in its
path would have been levelled to the
ground, and the loss of life must have
been heavy. The property loss is es-
timated at between S350.OO and $780,
600 The loss of life is four, so far an
known. The victims are all colored.
