Hicks Forecast For the Month of April.
The Hicks weather forecast for the month of
April, as published in Word and Works for
that month, is as follows:
April the LIST and I'd are reactionary storm
days on and about which may be expected a
decided rise in temperature, falling barometer.
high humidity and rain and thunder storms.
The storm diagram shows Mercury period to
be central on the 4th, so that cloudy and I'M
settled weather, with snow squalls very prob
able in the north, will be very natural for sew
eral days at this time. The moon at first quar-
ter on the 4th, and in pergee on the 5th, will aid
in prolonging these disturbances into the COM
bined Vulcan and Mercury period extending
from the 9th to the 18th.
About the 18th it will change to very warm in
western sections, winds will shift to easterly
and southerly, the barometer will begin falling,
and storms of rain, with some active hail, thun-
der and wind, will pass eastwardly over most
parts of the country from the 9Th to the 18th
inclusive. Let it be remembered that we are
still under the influence of Earth's Vernal eQui-
nox, and that both Vulcan and Mercury will
blend their powers, bringing marked crisis from
Wednesday, 8th to Sunday. 18th. Look first for

change to colder.
After few mornings of chill and frost, over
all sections central and northward, change to
warmer, with falling barometer and more April
storms will center about the 18th and 14th. The
transition state of the season through the most
part OF April brings, as rule, scattering April
showers" at almost any time. But this ten
dency to showers and squalls becomes decided,
general and often violent as we pass into the
regular and reactionary storm periods. In the
nature of things, hail storms are more numer-
GUS in April than in almost any other month
in the year, dashes of hail being common from
almost any local and dense thunder cloud. .,
A regular storm period is central on the 10th,
the moon being at last quarter on the same date,
and in apogee on the 18th. AS we enter this
period look for change to much warmer to set
in from the west-say about the 18th. The ba-
rometer will begin falling in the same section
with the rising temperature, and from about
Saturday the 18th, to Tuesday the 21St, very de-
cided storms will run their regular course from
west to east across the country. Very warm,
humid weather with low Observation-Disclosures
probable at this time-may well suggest storms
of great energy, and cause that degree of
watchfulness and caution the approach of
storm clouds, which the circumstances warrant.
AS in the other storm periods in April, look for
high barometer, westerly gales and very cool
nights to follow at the close of this period-that
is Immediately behind or west of the actual
storm MAJ areas IL is not thing uncommon for
to exist and be spreading down over the north
western states by or before the middle of storm
periods, often before the area of low barome-
ter, high temperature and storms has moved
east of the Mississippi river Hence within the
storm periods it is a common thing to have three
distinct kinds of weather prevailing in the
country at the same time, namely, warm and
fair east of the storm area, with storms of rain
or snow in central parts, and change to clearing
and much colder IN western and northwestern
extremes.
The next period in which storm conditions
will develop and run their courses from west to
east. will be central on the oath and 18th. The
moon passes northward across the celestial
equator on the oath, and on and touching that
date series of highly electrical storms are al
most certain to develop. Showery stormy con-
ditions will not pass off until after new moon on
the 9th, after which date will follow a brief,
short change to much cooler and frosts north
ward.
April comes to its close in the opening DAYS of
Vulcan storm period. Hence falling baron e.
ter and change to warmer will be in progress as
the month goes out. Summing up the whole
matter we believe that April will be an average
good month for all industries. The last half es-
pecially will be fine and pleasant. Showers must
be expected, with an occasional hard storm, but
we do not predict an excess of general rains,
but rather the other extreme.

A Nice Little Wild Cat (P) Story THE

on the tracks of the Northern Central Railroad
to Timonium early on Friday morning, had a

which Mr.. Jenkins describes as tiger, but
which is believed to be a wild cat which has
terrorized farmers in that section of the county.
when opposite the Baltimore county fair
grounds Mr.. Jenkins says that be saw the ami
NAL moving around in the underbrush. and,
thinking it was colt or deer, he shouted at 1t
in order to see it run. The animal sprang
from the underbrush, and, with fierce howl,
made leap at Mr.. jenkins. Fortunately
there were some box cars standing nearby, to
which Mr.. Jenkins made hasty retreat, and
did not glance backward until he had mounted
one of them. The animal had then disap-
peared. 1t has been seen in nearly the same
place by a number of other persons. Mr..
Jenkins says that he will arm himself and
take another route when going again to
Timonium.'
