Woodford a~nd.sasasta Have n long Con-
ference in the Afternoon.
Madrid, March 29.-Beyond the fact
that a few policemen and a couple of
civil guards stand outside the Amer
lean legation, there is absolutely no
sign in Madrid of the tension between
Spain and America. SO far as the gen.
eral public is concerned. the matter Is
little discussed, ever the press to-day
being generally hopeful of a peaceful
settlement.

sired on that occasion TO express the de-
sires of his government on the subject OF
the situation I'm Cuba and the %reconcen-

conference decided some of these points,
and that he had promised to study Gen

to a abine council: considering them
from every point of view In order that the

strange Disappearance of the German
Bark Marie s~icdenburg.

BARK Marie sicdenburg.
Philadelphia. March 2g.-The German
bark Marie Siedenburg, from Dublin,
Jan. 81, in ballast for this port, is miss
ing. and fears are entertained that she
has foundered and that her crew
found watery graves almost in
sight of land. Seventeen days ago the
missing bark was sighted off Scotland
lightship, of New York harbor, ard
orders were put on board of her by a
pilot boat addressed to Captain Men
kens, her master, ~instructing him to go
to Philadelphia. Since that time the
time the Marie Seidenberg has not been
seen or heard from. The disappearance
of this ship is one of the strangest
affairs I'm naval history. She had only
100 miles to cover when last sighted to
reach the Delaware and she
should have reached there the next day.
The tugs are cruising for her and her
agents are watching day and night for
news of the missing ship.

Do the Heavenly Bodies Produce
Atmospheric Changes?


Eds. Record Union: The observa-
tions which your correspondent from
Novelty Farm has made upon the seven
year cycle, and his suggestions about
the yearly growths of trees to demon
strate that every seventh year is dry
one, are probably good if the tree is Sc
lected with good judgment, though
some trees may be injured as much by
a superabundance as by a scarcity of
water
OF course, if the theory could be es-
| tablished as a fact, it would be of inn
mense value to the agriculturist who
depends solely upon the rains to ma
ture his crops. This is the practical
side Of the matter, but there must be a
scientific side to it. We naturally de-
sire to know the cause of the seventh
year famine. Tradition tells us of a
seven years of continued abundance,
and then followed seven years of con-
tinued famine; but this is one year Of
famine in every seven, neither of which
conditions appear to have a known
cause, and yet cause must have ex-
listed in the former-if such condition
existed at all-and of the latter be true,
there must be a cause for it.
There is every reason to believe that
the moon has some effect on atmos-
pheric changes. 1t is conceded that the
moon has an influence ON the waters of
the ocean, producing tides The at
tractive force of the moon raises the
water several feet above the point of
equilibrium. OF course the moon exerts
the same force on the land, SO that
bodies directly under its influence would
weigh less if tested by delicate scales
But as the particles of earthly matter
do not move SO readily as those OF
water, the attraction of the moon on
the land is not readily perceived.
Now, If the moon exertS such an in
f1uence on the water of the ocean, why
not on the atmosphere? The sun, also,
by its attraction eXerts an influence on
the waters of the ocean and ON the air.
When the sun and moon are about in
line with the earth at new moon, both
eXerting their attractive power on the
atmosphere, it is reasonable to suppose
that the air assumes the shape of a
cone the base of which rests upon the
earth and the apex points toward the
sun and moon, high up in the aerial
regions. This tends to rarity and light
en- the air, the barometer falls, and you
say that is an indication of rain. Now
in this case, the primary cause of the
falling of the barometer is the attrac-
ton of the sun and moon, acting in
conjunction, lifting off a part of the at
mospheric pressure.
When the moon is near the sun at
one of it's nodes, at new moon it will
have the appearance of lying almost di-
rectly upon its back, or the horns Of the
little csescent will point upward. Such
a position indicates that it is almost
directly in line with the sun, and there
fore both sun and moon act in conjunc-
ton on the air.
And it appears to have been the ex-
perience of the Indian that when the
new moon assumes a position with the
horns of the little crescent standing so
that he can hang his powder horn up
on them" then there will be moocha
