FAIR HAVEN.

The regular monthly meeting of thel Mems club of Grace NJ. E. church was held in the parish house last evening It was voted to hold the next meeting on Feb. F, ..t which time Elmore $ Wade will give a talk on his trip in the west
 There was some discussion about having a ladies night and it was final ly decided to hold it at the next meet ing night. The committee on enter- tainment will provide refreshments for the occasion.
 The president introduced L. NJ. Tarr, the New Haven weather observer, who, he said, had made study of meteorolo- gy for many years. He said he had listened to one of MT. Tarr's lectures and he said that it was most inter- esting and instructive lecture. He said that good religion and good weather were intimately connected. In ancient times, these two subjects were more intimately connected. He said that the subject of the weather was very broad subject for kicking and he had never lived in place where in year in and year out where such fine weather | was characteristic as in New Haven. He said he had lived in the north and in the south, in the lake region and on the prairies Despite the good weather here, New Haven had many kickers l about the weather. He said that while l in the great majority of cases the fore i casts were right. and yet there were some failures. The weather environed 1 the people on every side and the more 1 that we knew about it the better The 1 first weather prophet was Noah An i other was Elijah. There were many l other prophets who had to do with the l weather. He said he did not know what 1 the peope would do for a subject of 1 conversation but for the weather. The most interesting subject of the l spheres was the atmosphere. If the atmospherel was suddenly eliminated the human race would exist only two minutes. He said his subject for the evening was storms There is no section in the country where there were so many storms as in this sec tion. While some think these storms are a drawback, this was not so, for producing the best variety of charac- ter in all the world And certainly New England character is the best of all. He explained that the heavy rain fall of this latest rain was made up of particles of moisture taken up near the equator and then forming into clouds and sweeping north and drop ping down in rain He said the weather map was one of the greatest educational influences of the country. These maps are furnished at 110 cities in the United States and Canada No more important factor had ever been issued to the people of this country.
 The lecture was illustrated by a number of stereopticon pictures and proved most interesting and instruc- tive. After the lecture refreshments were served.
