cloud Is moving in the same direction,
which it is not always easy to do when
the cloud is of vast dimensions. By
limiting the observation to the displace-
ment OF one OF the edges or Of a part Of
the cloud large errors may be intro
duced, especially in the case where the
mass OF the cloud has only a slight We
locity. For, IL the cloud is increasing
in size, it may happen that the eastern
edge may appear to move east, the
southern edge south. etc.
IF we have to do with long cirrus
clouds, we should look at the axial re-
gion, which is also the whitest, the
clearest and keeps it's shape longest.
There is one illusion that must be
carefully guarded against. 1t Is gene
rally produced when one is looking at
the same time at very high and very
low clouds.
The first seem to move slowly, be-
cause they are far away, while the sec
ond appear to move rapidly, because
they are nearer. So, even when the two
are following a common direction, the
higher will appear to be moving in the
opposite direction to the lower.
"A good point of view, and, above all,
a nephoscope or the system of wires de-
scribed above, prevent this Illusion,
which is very common, and which at
fects many persons, even when they
think they can avoid it. scientific

A VERY SOLID FACT.

Those who are still hanging back and
refusing to admit that there has been
an important change for the better in
the business situation are respectfully
invited to consider one very solid fact,
and that is that, for the first time in
two years, every blast furnace in Ale
gheny county, Pennsylvania, is in full
operation. The last Of the idle plants
woke to fiery activity a few days ago,
and now thirty furnaces are working
every hour in the twenty-four to sup
ply the country's demand for iron And
as the Pittsburg Dispatch points out,
this means more than a return of past
prosperity. When the last boom in the
iron trade was at it's highest point AL
1egheny found twenty-six furnaces
enough to meet all needs. Now there
are four new ones, and each of them
| has producing power more than twice
as great as any Of its predecessors. The
| output, therefore, is not merely an
| equalling Of the previous "best record
but is an increase over that mark by
| about 25 per cent. To give the figures,
| this district, which never before produce
ed 5000 tons of iron day, is now send
ing to market almost, if not quite, 10 900
tons. This is more than the aggregate
output of all Europe as it was thirty
years ago. '.At the market price" says
| the Dispatch, ''this daily product is
worth upward of 100000. That means
100000 a. month, a truly tremendous
sum when it is remembered that it rep
resents only the value of the raw ma
terial. The finished product into which
this pig iron is all converted, and most
of it right here in this city, is worth
immensely more, how much more it
would be impossible even to guess"
| Put this in your pipes and smoke it,
| we who think that the only thing that
can save this mighty nation is 16 to 1.

LEND no THE LoRp TO- MoRROW.

Very many OF the good and generous
people of New Haven don't spend much
time thinking about the religion of
needy orphans. 1t is enough for them
to know that they are orphans and in
need. Such people give as freely as
they can on the New Haven Orphan
Asylum's donation day" and then they
give with equal freedom on the ''dona-
ton day. of st. Francis Orphan Asy-
lum. The latter donation day will be
tomorrow, and it is to be hoped that
1t will be abundantly successful. How
ever great progress the new wave of
prosperity has made it has not yet be-
come very conspicuous at the orphan
asylums. Let it roll in at st. Francis
tomorrow and make the hearts OF the
poor little ones and their faithful help
ers glad.

ly. But it Is distinctly stylish and SO
rich that it is rarely considered fit to
renew worn dress. so at present it
has the advantage over braid Of stand
ing as mark of newness. 1t affords
a fine chance for the designers, who
apply 1t to greatly enhance the beauty
of dress. One extremely dressy use
Of it Is set here by the artist. 1t was q
gown Of silver gray cloth, the velvet on
the skirt applied to stimulate yoke and
tablier. Then on the bolero, which was
laid in pleats in front and short and
square in back, it made an equally
dressy trimming. Velvet also lined the
outer collar, inner collar and belt being
gray satin. Beneath the bolero was a
blouse Of gray silk embroidered with
fine chenille. The possessor of such a
dress may survey any number of braid
ed gowns with entire complacency.
Gray is a very fashionable color and
it's favor has developed more shades of
it than we had realized it had Drab

dove gray on us for winter has failed,
except for those who can afford any
number of gowns. Dove gray heavily
braided with CLINT of tinsel, and trim
med with lot of gray astrakan of the
higher type, or of chinchilla or mouf-
fion, is all very well. if you are sure
your nose won't look a wee bit blue.
You see, the same nose that above the
cosy snugness of rich seal would ap-
pear nice and pink, besides in contrast
to brilliant red cheeks, is merely blue
and surrounded by notified purple
cheeks when. gray is worn. 1t is we'll

dove gray for winter Is to be pondered

CLOUD DRIFT AND THE WEATHER

An Important Element in Weather Pre-
diction.
One of the most important elements
in weather prediction is the direction of
the wind, and by this is meant not the
local currents near the surface, but the
great and more steady ones high in the
air. The surest way to get the trend of
these is to watch the clouds that drift
along with them. 1t would seem an
easy matter to tell in what direction the
clouds are moving, but J. r. Plumadon,
the French meteorologist of the Puy ae
Dome observatory, tells us that 1t is oy
no means what it seems The Lltera-

the subject in an article il Les Science

.LEPROSY,

Shall we annex leprosy If we annex
Hawaii? DIR. Prince Morrow thinks
we shall, and he calls attention in the
North American Review to this aspect
Of the annexation project. Leprosy
has made notable advances within the
last fifty years, and is now spread over
more than one-fourth of the habitable
surface Of the globe. The islands which
the annexation party seems so eager to
annex form one of the great leprous
centers. DR.. Morrow tells us that it is
undoubtedly "a contagious, or rather a
communicable disease" and that while
it was formerly supposed to be of
hereditary origin, it is now known that
heredity has but little or nothing to do
with it. The tradition Of the islanders
is that the Chinese brought the dis
ease to them about 1S4s. BY the year
1866 it had spread among them to such
an extent that 1eper colonies, for the
isolation of the victims, were establish
ed at Kalibi and Molokai. Since that
date, only thirty-two years ago, $500
lepers have been carried there, and
over 1000 of these have died.
There is, it seems, no prospect Of
extinguishing the disease on the is
lands. The death rate among the
lepers has been lowered, but the num-
Der of persons stricken seems to have
increased since the foundation of
the leper settlements. 1t appears, fur
Their, that white foreigners are not ex-
empt from the contagion, as they furn-
ish an increasing percentage Of the
total number of lepers in recent years.
White Europeans and Americans num-
bered eighteen Representatives in the
Molokai leper colony, according to the
latest official report, and DR.. Morrow
states that many more foreign whites
contract the fearful malady, and leave
with it for their own countries DR..
Morrow says that if annexation comes,
it will be 'idle to think Of combining
leprosy to the islands, or rather ex-
Guiding it from this country by quar-
antine measures" No practicable
means of inspection could detect the
symptoms Of the disease in its earlier
stages. Only the more advanced cases
could be kept out. 1t is somewhat re-
assuring to be told that in the dry, cool
climate of our northwestern States lep-
rosy would tend to die out from natural
causes, but it is a disquieting intima-
ton to be informed that "the warm,
moist, more tropical climate of our
southern seaboard seems favorable to
the development Of leprosy." In proof
of this, DR.. Morrow states that in
Louisiana it has made alarming head
way, and that CDR. Blanc and DR.
Dyer, of New Orleans, have recently
reported more than $50 cases as coming

The Habits of the r1ikadO.

His majesty's daily customs are regu-
lar He always goes to his study at y
a. M. and remains at work there until
4 p. m. He reads and signs all Parlia-
mentary laws and DEGREES.
When a Cabinet Minister addresses
his majesty about any public matter
he inquiries about the subject, the pur-
pose and condition, and decides it. He
is firm and not changeable. When he
decides a matter once he cannot after
that be moved.
AT the beginning of Matsukata's Cab
met Parliament decided to reduce the
salaries of the Cabinet Ministers and
other Government officers. The Prime
Minister Count Matsukata, addressed
his majesty about it. His majesty did
not consent, and he said: Many Off
GERS cannot live upon d fixed salary.
Some Cabinet Ministers have been
obliged to borrow money, and / have
advanced money from my treasury to
support them. If the present Cabinet
Ministers retain their places by borrow
ing money all Cabinet Ministers there
fore cannot do So Therefore l cannot
consents to the reduction of salaries"
Count Matsukata retired from his
majesty. However, the Cabinet once
more debated the question with the
Count, and Matsukata went again to
consult with the Emperor.
His majesty was not inclined to see
him again, and sent an attendant to
say: Il have already commanded about
the reduction of salaries. / cannot see
you any more" The salaries were
therefore not reduced.
His majesty understands the condi
ton of the lower classes, and familiar
izes himself with the private conduct of
the Cabinet Ministers. When he reads
newspaper articles relating to the pri-
vate misconduct of any Cabinet Min
lister and attacking him his majesty
sometimes smiles.
His majesty is fond of reading books
and newspapers. He is especially fond
of German books. He likes to compose
Japanese poems. which he can do read
lily. His ability in that respect is much
admired by his attendants
His majesty dislikes all pretense and
hypocrisy.
When it has been reported to his ma
jesty that some of his subjects have
given their lives in time of flood or
earthquakes TO preserve MS majesty S
picture he has been much touched, but
he is anxious TO discourage his subjects
from such Quixotism, and to preserve
them from any but necessary danger.
Withal the Emperor's life is happy
and peaceful one, blessed by the love
and respect of grateful subjects, and
when his majesty makes a tour any
where in Japan without his guards he
is in no danger. but is received every

SLEEPING WITH DANIEL.
