The EuuinOctial Storms.

When the earth passes either side of the
ecliptic. it is more than liable to create
much disturbance in the elements, and
Storms usually occur about the equinoNes-
They are known as equinottlll i'f:n>', and
generally consist in this section OF the
Northern Hemisphere of cold rains from
the northeast, which last for several days
at a time In point of fact, however, any
storm which might occur about the present
time might be called an equin octial storm.
No such storm is recognized by the Wealth
er Bureau of the United States, and cqui-
noctial days have more than once passed
without the storms, which are considered
by some people as sure to put in an appear
ancc. The first part of September this
wear has proven one Of the hot spells of
the wear, but the weather about this time
should grow colder and the real fall set
in. Rain-storms occur on an average
of every four days during March and
September, and one generally comes on
the day, or within one or two days, of the
equinox. On September 2and: 1889, there
were slight rains; in 1890, light rains; in
1891, clear weather, and in 1892, light
showers

Who Was This p

Some day. since 4 gentleman from Anne
Arundel county, who had been on board
one of the yachts in the PatuNcnt river,
enjoying the hospitality of the Phiadcl-
phia SportSmcn, was, while on his way
home, very much startled by hearing the
cry of some wild animal presumably Il
panther or wild cat. After some difficulty
he located the animal in Il large tree in
the wood through which he was riding.
His horse was evidently frightened, mani

Gus animal. This only convinced the gen
tlcman that he was right in his con lecture
as to the particular tree in which the

spring: he thereupon tur ned and went to
Marlborough, distant about 4 miles, where
he soon collected a party of well armed
men who FASTENED to the designated place
and after some time spent in diligcnt and
cautious hunt, not knowing at what mo-

one of them. They heard the cry again but
it sounded rs f their game had gone deep
