WEATHER MEN IN 1747,

How Franklin and Jefferson Co-Op.
perated in Taking Observations,
From the Forum.
About 100 years after the invention of the
barometer, viz. in 1774. Benjamin Franklin,
patriot, Statesman. diplomat and scientist
OWNED that certain storms had a rotary
motion and that they progressed in
northsasterly direction. 1t was prophetic
that these ideas should have come to him
long before any one had ever seen charts
showing observations simultaneously taken
at many stations. But, although his ideas
in this respect wers more important than
Ills act of drawing the lightning from the
clouds and Identifying it with the cleo
tricity Of the laboratory, yet his conten-
poraries thought little Of his philosophy of
storms, and it was soon forgotten. 1t will
be Interesting to learn how he reached his
conclusion as to the cyclonic or eddylike
structure of storms.
Franklin had arranged with a co-worker
at Boston to take observations of lunar
eclipse at the same time that he himself
was taking readings of 1t at PHILADELPHIA
Early on the evening of the eclipse an un-
usually severe northeast wind and rain
storm set In at Philadelphia, and Franklin
was unable to secure any observations. He
reasoned that as tha wind blew ferceIy
from the northeast the storm was of course
coming from that direction, and that Bos-
tor must have experienced Its ravases be-
fore philadelphia. Reports indicated that
the storm was Widespread. What was the

The pathetic story of the last time that

A NEW POMPEu.
Discovered by Excavators Oh the Site

From the Literary Direst

Discovered by Excavators Oh the Site
of Ancient Priene.
From the Literary Digest
Th1s title is perhaps an exaggeration but
1t Is certain that If the published reports
are true, the German archaeologists who
are excavating on the site of ancient Priene
have made a discovery OF the highest in
terest. 1t is well known that Priene is In
Asia Minor, and that the modern city of
Samsoun occupies Its ancient site. Several
years ago an English expedition unearthed
and studied ths temple of Minerva, the
chief sanctuary of the city, built by order
OF Alexander; but it's ruins, although in
teresting, were abandoned, and they have
since been despoiled by the Inhabitants Of
the nsfghborhood. In 1895 the Germans re-
sumed the exploration Of the region in be-
half or the Berlin Museum, at the expense
OF the Prussian government and under the
direction OF young architect, Wilhelm
Wilberg. The work of excavation is al
ready suhciently advanced to enable us to
Judge of Its rare Importance; whole city
is being unearthed, in almost as good pres
ervation as Pompeii. And this is the NOR,
In portant because up to the present no
similar discovery has ever been made that
gives precise indications of the general ar
rangement of a Greek city of its public
monuments or Its individual dwellings,
The city thus exhumed is assuradly of the
period OF greatest Greek beauty; the streets
cross at right angles and ara laid out with
the greatest regularity, and we can identify
coionades, theaters, market places, shops
and houses with their decorations and in
terror arrangement. South Of the templs
of Minerva has been found the agora, sur
rounded with great colonnades, while OPEN
Ing on one Of its corners Is a small square
ecifice somewhat resembling a theatsr and
constituting perhaps the place of meeting
of the city council. It ls in admirable
preservation, and sixteen rows of seats can
be seen still in place. Worthy Of note is
vault In ons OF the walls-a thing extraor-
dinarily rare in Greek architecture. We
should add, in closing, that among the
structures that have been entirely exhumed
is theater whose scene is intact, which
will doubtless solve some of the problems
connected with this special part of the
Greek theaters.

Tor observations, but thSt a terrific north

IN Philadelphia. Northeast Of Philadelphia
the time OF the beginning of the storm had
been later than at that city, the storm not
reaching Boston until twelve hours after
It's commencement at Philadelphia
IN considering these facts line of in
onctive reasoning brought Franklin to the
conclusion that the wind always blows to-
ward the center of the storm; that the
northeast hurricane which Boston and Phil
adeiphia had experienced was caused by
the suction exercised by an advancing
storm eddy from the southwest which
Drew the air rapidly from Boston toward
Philadelphia, while the source of the at
traction-the center of the storm eddy-was
yer thousand miles to the southwest of
1ne latter place; that the velocity of the
northeast wind increased as the center of
the storm eddy advanced nearer and nearer
from the southwest. until the wind reached
the conditions of a hurricane; that the
wind between Boston and Philadelphia
snifted and came from the southwest after
the center of the storm eddy had passed
over this region, and that the force of the
wind gradually decreased as the center of
attraction passed farther and farther away
to the northeast.

WHEN PLANTS SLEEP.
They Have Various Hours, but All

From the Gentlemans Magazine
The mimosa goes to sleep when night

the sun will cause its leaves to fold up and
the stalk to sink down, and in fact the
Wnoie plant goes to sleep. In going to sleep
the mirnosa is not however, at all singular

there are come which, like the beasts of
the forest, hall the setting sun as a signal
for activity. This sleep of plants, which is
the same physiologically as animal sleep.
does not exist without reason. The art of
sleeping is, in the higher animals sympto-
matte of repose in the brain and nervous
system. and the fact of plants sleeping is
one proof Of the existence of a nervous svs-
TEN in the members of the vegetable king
dom.
Plants sleep at various hours and not al
ways at night. The duration of plant sleep
varies from ten to eighteen hours Light
and heat have little to do with plants sleep
Ing, as different species go to sleep at diff
ferent hours Of the day. Thus the comm On
morning glory opens at dawn, the Star of
Bethlehem about 10 o'clock the ice plant at
noon. The goats beard, which opens at
sunrise, closes at midday, and for this rea-
son is called 'Go-to-bed-at-noon" The

Nations Have Lost the Habit Of Fight

From the Review Of Reviews
The war between Spain and the United
States was ended On August r. having run
course Of less tbsh four months. All re-
cent wars in which important members of
the worlds family of Lations have been
pitted against each other have been OF a
short and decisive character. Last years
war between Turkey and Greece began
April II and was terminated by n truce
preliminary to a final peace treaty at the
end of four and a half weeks The Greeks
had thought that their superior navy and
the esprit de corps OF their people would
offset the great superiority of the Turkish
army. But the Greek fleet ACCOMPLISHED
next to nothing and the invasion of the
Turkish army vas irresistible. The war
between Japan and China showed the great
superiority of the japanese both On sea
and on land, with the result that a war
Which began on July %, 1894, was ended
by the utter defeat of China after eight
ncntns. The great war of Russia against
Turkey, which began April "a 1877 came
to an END with the Russian army lying Just
outside of Constantinople nine months
later. The Franco PrGssian war which he
gan July %, 1870, found the Prussians max
ing peace at Versailles On January y, 1SIl
Bismarck's var of 1866 in which Prussia
Hiaue al attack against Austria, lasted
only seven weeks. Civil wars and fnsurrer-
tfcns have tendency to drag on for a
longer time; but all the circumstances and
conditions Of modern life are favorable to
breVity and positive conclusions in wars
between distinct Eaticns Nineteenth cen
tury life is practical, and nations have lost
the habit of fighting on and on merely to
grahfy a false seEse of pride or out of con-
slderations of hatred and revenge The
cumulative force of precedent has helped
to make 1t the established rule of modern
craftsmanship to seek peace with a public
adversary on the best terms possible at the
earliest moment when it is clearly appar-
ent that the fortunes of war can have no
favorable turn. To fight on when there is
no nope of victory is to commit national
suicide. Modern public opinion-at least i'm
All countries having parliamentary instiru-
tions-acts forcibly and sensibly upon ques-
tions OF this sort. 1t is not that patriotism
