WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
"A General Improvement In Conditions
Throughout Northern New England.

l
throughout Northern New England.
The weather of the past week ending
April ~ mas not varied very materially
from that OF the preceding one. JIutil
saturday, when The sun appeared, it was
continuously cloudy and, generally. with
superabundance Of rain. Fog and
easterly winds we're prevalen, i'm coast
sections. AS whole, the weather was
too cool for vegetable growth and i'm
favorable for farm operations.
There has been a general Improvement
in matters pertaining TO crops. and to
farming In the northern st ties. Except
In the mountains, the snow has disan.
peared, and frost has left the ground
Flowing has progressed, except where
too wet. Grass and winter grain have
improved, and considerable work, pre-
paratory to blowing, seeding and plant
ing, has been accomplished. The season
for this portion of the section is about
the average. But for the southern states
of New England the season has made no
progress it is reported as week to a
fortnight late, farming and spring work
backward, and crops are much retarded
OF all farm products, grass has made
the most Improvements, and, at the
present time, promises an abundant
yield. Fields, meadows and pastures
are becoming green in the most north.
erly portions, and took has been turned
to pasture as far north as portions of
New Hampshire and Vermont
There is little to report in connection
with the cereal crops. Winter grain is
improving slowly and in good condition.
Oats have been sown in a few Instance
in Connecticut, and are doing well.
So far as can be determined, fruit buds
are in good condition and the outlook
promising to crop. While no bloom
has appeared the buds are hegiuing to
unfold in some of the southern sections
OF Massachusetts and Rhode Island. In
the vicinity of Middletown, Conn cur.
rent and raspberry canes were consider
ably winter killed.
The planting of garden vegetables has
progressed slowly, but the weather has
been too cool and wet for general field
planting. In parts of Rhode Island and
Connecticut carly peas, lettuce and
radishes are up, and in a few Instances
early planted potatoes have rotted in the
ground.
Tobacco beds are reported in very sat
isfactory condition, and preparations are
being made for at least an average
acreage of this crop.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is

wires. There will be double windows
capable of flooding the rooms with
light, also light-proof shutters Taak-
ing them absolutely dark. There will
be fire-proof vaults for the storing Of
the standards. A separate building,
l 900 yards or more away, will install
the engines, dynamos and other heavy
machinery essential to the work. AS
a whole, the institution will be a mod
ern temple Of science, of which the
country may be justly proud. The
bureau will also establish a standard
electric cell, measuring standard volts;
indeed, electric standards of many
kinds. Although applications of cleo
tricity represent a rapidly growing
business with investments of 2,000,-
000, 1000, there are in this country no
facilities for testing meters and other
instruments used in electric measure
ments. A standard thermometer will be
another Of the many instruments to be
stored in this bureau. With this will
be compared for correction the mil
lions Of thermometers used by physi-
clans and surgeons, by scientific labor
atories and great Industrial establish
ments. For a long time Uncle Sam has
had an Office of weights and measures
for giving out, mostly to its scientists,
standards of weights, measures and ca
pacities which have been adopted for
Z %enience, but not by law. 1t has al
ways been a part of the coast and geo.
detic survey, but is now merged into
the new bureau of standards. What is
practically our standard for measur-
ing length at the present time is to be
found here. This is known as the
STANDARD meter" a bar of metal, kept
in three or four cases for it's protec-
ton. This bar cost 50, 500 and the met
al alone in it is said to be valued at
81, 500. The United States standard kilo-
gram, which was similarly obtained
from Paris, is a duplicate Of the
worlds standard kilogram, installed in
that city. 1t is a small cylinder of the
same metal used in the construction Of
the standard meter. This metal, by the
way, is an alloy of platinum and irid-
ium, selected because it cannot be de-
stroyed by heat. 1t cost $1,000. Two
bell jars, one fitting over the other,
protect it from the dust. 1t is handled

a LESSON FROM AMER1cA.

During the Paris exposition an
American firm obtained permission to
drive ar artesian we'll in the Bots de
Vincennes neal Paris. The city Of
Paris has two artesian wells which re-
quired respectively nine and six years
to be driven. The American we'll was
sunk to a nearly equal depth, 1885 feet,
last summer in two months. The
French were surprised at the rapidity
of the work, as well as by the homeli-
ness and simplicity Of the apparatus.
The American company has since Of
fered to donate the well to Paris as
an addition to its water supply, and
some of the French scientific journals
express the hope that "the practical
lesson which the new world thus offers
g~ratuitously will not be without its
fruit"

Bureau Of

Uncle Sans new supreme court OF

rotary Gage a quarter million dollars,
is the largest bureau added to the gov
eminent for many years. You have seen
it referred to in the news dispatches
as the national bureau of standards.
That is it's official name. 1t might be
more properly called the supreme court
of weights and measures, because it
really will be the tribunal of last p
peal, whereat disputes as to the ac-
curacy of weights and measuring in
struments can be finally settled. This
new bureau will save millions of dol
lars a year to our great industries,
will make the researches of scientists
more accurate, will enable the surveyor
to stake out our building and farm lots
with greater precision, will give the
common people better measure of dry
goods, groceries, gas and electric light,

ness or error. A representative of each
measuring or weighing instrument to
be thus tested and stamped will be
stored in the new bureau as ''the"
standard of that particular measure

its class must be compared. There will
be a standard yard graduated into
standard feet and inches; other stand

and multiples. Today we are dependent
upon Germany, France and England
which have standardizing bureaus-for

cArAKRu AND IT'S SYMPTOMS.

Catarrh is an Inflammation of any
Of the mucuous membranes of the
body. 1t is marked by the usual signs
of Inflammation and, as the word i'm
plies-being derived from a Greek
word meaning to flow down-by a
more or less profuse discharge. Ca
tarrh may be acute or chronic, and the
latter, as will be explained later, may
be either atrophic or hypertrophic.
Acute catarrh unfortunately needs no
description, for it is only too familiar
to us all as a cold in the head. In this
case it is the mucous membrane of the
n~ostrils which is inflamed. The most
obvious symptoms are swelling of the
membrane, which may be SO great as
to close the nostrils completely, and a
profuse discharge. When acute catarrh
attacks the pharynx or larynx we have
q sore throat, and If the Inflammation
extends still farther we have bronchi-
tits. In the latter case the most evident
sign Is a cough due either to the pres
ence Of a mucous discharge, or to i-
ritation caused by the air passing
through the inf1amed bronchial tubes.
In young children the Inflammation in
the larynx causes much swelling, and
this gives rise to the difficult breathing
and hoarse voice which characterize
one form of Group. If catarrh attacks
the stomach it causes severe indiges-
ton, and when the intestinal mucous
membrane is affected the most promi-
nent symptom is diarrhoea. ConJunc-
tivitis and acute Inflammation OF the
ear are the expressions Of catarrh OF
the eye and the drum of the ear. In
chronic catarrh the process is less &C
tive; there is usually little or no pain,
but the discharge is profuse and thick.
In hypertrophic catarrh the mucous
membrane becomes permanently thick
ened, but in atrophic catarrh it is
thinned. Atrophic catarrh is not real
ly an Inflammation, but rather the
result of a previous Inflammation
which has destroyed the mucous mem
brane, leaving in its place merely a
thin skin. covering the surface, but
answering none of the purposes OF a
mucous membrane. A catarrh may be
caused by anything that acts as an
irritant to the mucous membrane
dust, sulphurous, ammoniacal, or
other strong fumes, undue dryness Of
the atmosphere, and so forth, in the
case of the air-passages Or eyes; indi-
gestible food, alcohol, and SO forth, in
the case of stomach or intestines. Often
the Inflammation is due to the action
of microbes, which are probably al
ways present, but can work harm only
when the soil has been prepared for
them by mechanical injury, or by con-
gestion caused by a chilling of some
portion of the surface of the body.

DECREASED SINCE
THE DAYS OF ADAM
AND NOAH?

Adam have been a freak in this array
of colossal nature?
Civilization and multiplication of the
races diminish the lives of individuals
as well as the statures. Why? Posi-
bly, because our civilization is an I'M
natural perversion of the life contem-
plated by Jul Creator for us, and as
free agents we are gradually destroy
ing the race as a penalty for our wrong
power to multiply having been given
us, death is a natural consequence, but
death by natural decay, instead of
death by disease, crime, war, pesti-
lence, results of civilization, was con-
templated. Hence our civilization and
all other civilizations are more or less
responsible for the inevitable extinc-
ton Of the race.
A curious mathematical coincidence
lay in the above proof of mans decline
in stature and age. Thus the stature
of man in a few more than 5000 years,
according to Hale's chronology being
the age of the human race, and accord
ing to my deductions, has decreased
from 65 to s feet, at which rate of de-
crease the world will be depopulated
in 461 years. or the year 1852. The
age of man has likewise decreased
from 900 to 20 years in the same time,
at which rate the race will become ex-
tinct in about 461 years, or the year
1882. AS you observe, both deductions
reach the same conclusion.
There may be an element of truth in
this theory, at least it is worth prob
ing. The great trouble with us to-day
is that we are too easily satisfied; we
lack the ability and energy to figure
out" or search for evidences of truth"
and instead accept all kinds of theories
and dogmas as they are presented to
us, surrounded mostly by a halo Of
fanaticism, impossible and absurd.

HAVE AGE
AND STATURE

The impression is quite general that
the people of prehistoric times were
much taller than those of the present
day. In 1718 Henrion, a member of
the French Academy of Sciences, pub
lished a pamphlet in which he asserted
that Adam was 1913 feet 9 inches tall;
Eve, 118 feet 9 inches; Noah, ~ feet;
Abraham, 20 feet; Moses, Is feet. He
gave elaborate reasons for his state
ments. A p~resent-day scientific student
of the Bible goes Henrion one better
and makes Noah 81 feet tall and at
tributes to the food survivor a weight
of 1875 pounds. His reasons for this
estimate are not bad, either. He says:
According to Genesis, Noah lived $50
a and then died. The average life
of man to-day is about 70 years. 1t is
a w~ell-defined rule in nature that an
finals, bipeds and q~uadrupeds live
about three and one-half times the
number of years required for individ-
ual maturity. Thus man in this CEN
fury natures in 20 years and dies at
the age of 20 years. Dividing the. age
of Noah by three and one-half we find
that he matured in about 27O years.
The average man of to-day at maturity
measures about 5 feet and weighs 125
pounds. Five feet in 20 years is equiv
alent to three inches in one year. APP
plying the same rule to Noah's matur-
ing years, we find that at his maturity
he was 81 feet tall and weighed 1875
pounds. It stands to reason that if
Noah was so great in body Adam must
have been equally as large. The mere
fact that Adam was never born evil
dences that he vas a gigantic man.
Everything created during the forma-
ton ages was according to a very large
standard. The trees we're skyscrapers,
the animals immense and all other
things in proportion. Why should
