A RECORD
Lowest April Temperature, Greatest
Precipitation and Cloudy Weather.

The report of the director of the
Wyoming section of the climate and
crop service of the weather bureau for
the month of April shows that Albany
county, more particularly Laramie
Centennial and Sherman, broke the
record on several points.
The mean temperature of the state
for the month was 1872 degrees, which
is II degrees above the April average
for the past nine years. The average
precipitation was 4.46 inches, or 2.6S
inches above the normal.
The month was characterized by I'm,
usually heavy precipitation over neal
ly all portions of the state. Over the
cipitation occurred mostly as rain. but
over those portions Of the state above
1000 feet most of the precipitation &C
Cured as snow.
The mean temperature for the state,
as obtained from 80 reporting stations.
was 1872 degrees, which is slightly
above the April normal. The highest
mean reported was 1872 degrees, at
Lowell, and the lowest was 1873 degrees
at Centennial. The maximum temper
ature reported was IS degrees. al Bit

.ture at most stations was recorded on.
the Goth, that being the warmest day of
the month, the maximum temper
azure for that day being II degrees. The
minimum temperature at most stations
were recorded on the morning of the
18th, and on that morning a minimum
of 10 degrees below zero vas recorded
at Laramie. This is the lowest April
temperature on record for Wyoming
for the past nine years, the lowest tenn
perature previously recorded being 3
degrees below zero, at Sheridan on the
list, in 1889.
The average precipitation for the
state was 4.46 inches, which is nearly
three times the April normal. The
greatest excess of precipitation wa re-
ported from portions of Big Horn, Ere

But from the answers to these ques-
tons, the country will learn whether
the native American population is
holding its own, or whether, as SONG
have claimed, it is being gradually
supplanted and displaced by the chill
dren of recent immigrants.
In the light of such explanations and
only a few of the most important ques-
lions have been touched upon, it may
perhaps be clear to the public that no
question has been ordered by congress,
or has been asked by the census office
which, if properly and correctly an
swered, will not lead to suggestive in
~ferences regarding The American peo-
pie and their work.

May IS, 1900, will witness the great
est astronomical event of the year, at
least SO far as astronomers are able to
predict. This event is the total eclipse
of the SUM-, which will be visible ovel
portions of the United States, Europe
and Africa which are easy of access,
for purposes of observation.
The point at which the total eclipse
is first visible is LEI Clarion Island.
off the western coast of Mexico and
one thousand miles nearly due EAST of
the city Of Mexico. It is first visi.
bic on the the coast $50 miles south
of Mazatlan.
Owing to the fact that the moon is
at a relatively great distance from the
earth the shadow path will be narrow,
its greatest width being about 35 miles;
and for the same reason the duration
Of totality will be short, the point OF

east of Newfoundland, while the great
est duration on land is at Cape Henry,
where the u will be entirely obscur-
ed for about one minute and forty sec
onds.
For those who are not so fortunate
as to be located on the path of the
shadow there will be the partial
eclipse, which is visible over aeon
siderable portion of the earth. While
this does not possess the imposing
phenomena belonging to the total
eclipse it will nevertheless awaken
more or less interest. For Laramie
rather more than one-half of the suns

watch with interest as the moon moves
across the face Of the sun.

NOT PURPOSElESS
CENSUS QUERIES ALL LEAD TIC
SUGGESTIVE INFER
ENCES.
Age Returns Elucidate Every Other
Branch of Statistical knowledge
Necessity of Questions Regarding
Race Not Disputed-Why Number
of Living Children is Asked.

The blank schedules to be used in
the next census are now being distri-
buted by the census office to the emu
merators, who will start to work on
June l. The schedules contain ques-
tions which some persons may think
prying, purposeless, or excessive in
number. But their number and
character lave been determined by
congress, not by the census office, and
all of them have been asked in pre-
vious censuses. The only important
change since 1890 is that some ques-
lions have beer abandoned.
People are often offended at the
question, How old are your and arc
apt to wonder what use the govern
ment can make of their replies. TAX
en- as a whole the replies are as impor-
tant as any class of information the
census office collects. Age returns
penetrate and elucidate every other
branch of statistical knowledge. They
show where child labor is prevalent.
and where the proportion of persons
able to support themselves is large o.
small. They reveal the great number
of colored children and the short life
of the negroes under present condi
lions. They make it possible to ascer-
tain whether the average length of Ifs
is increasing or decreasing, how many
men the nation contains who are capa-
BILE of voting or bearing arms, and
whether the relative number OF chill
dren is increasing or decreasing.
In Mohammedan or semi-civilized
countries like India ho%useholders are
often unwilling to answer the question
regarding the sex of persons in tbs
house, but in civilized countries where
the sexes are regarded as on an equali-
ty, such unwillingness does not appear

A Clinical Preparation That Positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ.

made after a years patient labOra-
tory work aimed in a certain direction
1t is Newbro's Herpicide. a prepara-
ton that cures badness, prevents fall

caused by a germ or parasite that bur

hair at the root. There's no badness

Texas has just been visited with
another calamity. Unprecedented
floods are reported from various points
south Of Austin. Some of the rivers
are higher than ever before known
and the crops on the low lands have
been utterly ruined. The cotton
crop has been seriously damaged and
large number of cattle have drowned
in the floods. Information was sont
ny telegraph and telephone to every
available point and messengers sent
out. Consequently very few lives
have been reported lost. The most
terrific flood in the history of the
Colorado river has been surging down
the mountain gorges destroying every
thing in it's path. The river was from
I'D to IL feet higher than ever known
before. The Brazos river is higher
than at any time in II years. !
