WEATHER PREDICTIONS VALUABLE. Eev. M. J. Savage Save Gen. Greelv'a Forecasts Are Nearly Aliraye Right. In spite of the fact that I often hear it said that the prophecies of the weather bureau are generally wrong, the records of 1S90 prove that they were correct mora than 8i per cent, of the time. And most of the misses meant only that the predicted change was a little earlier or later than, the time set. Now, considering the ca pacity of New England weather to outwit the wisest prophet, I submit that this is a most remarkable record. In the office as Washington I examined a large map of the United States, in which were speck pins or pegs, indicating all the stations from which reports are constantly received. These re ports cover force and direction of the winds, barometric conditions, temperature, cloud, rain, snow, clear, all that are helps to a knowledge of atmospheric conditions. Twice a day lithographed maps are issued and sent out all over the country. These contain an accurate and graphic picture of the conditions all over the land. It was interesting to take the maps of a week and trace the changes day after day. The general informed us that he was obliged to make his predictions precise and definite. And yet a little thought v. ill show that such precision must be beyond any human certainty. Let tis look at a concrete case and see: Here, for example, is a storm center in northern Texas. It is movincr at a defi- ite speed east by north. Just which wav will it go? Will itkeep straight on. or will it turn farther north or farther south? Will the velocity of its movement increase or diminish or remain unchanged? Bv studying the atmospheric conditions in those regions toward which it is movine a shrewd calcnlat ion can be made. But sun- pose those conditions change? The experts in the office may hold different opinions, but some one must decide and the predic tion must be made. Brother Talmage the other day accounted for the failure of the government prophe sies by saying that pious prayers sometimes interfered, teaid he, "A storm starts; but after it has gone a little way it striken a prayer and glances off." This is an ele ment of uncertainty not usually taken into account. But if people are going to inter fere with the matter in this way, of course they have no right to complain of any fail ures on the part of. the bureau. But, leaving this one side, a little careful thinking will show how exceedingly diffi cult it is to forecast a matter so uncertain. It is a wonder tome that no larger number of failures occur. Tho worth of this work (which, on the whole, is the best in the world of its kind is incalculable. To our agriculture, to our shipping and to many other interests it is of untold service. More attention should be given to the purely scientific side of it. But this is not Gen. Greely's fault. M. J. Savage in Bos ton Globe. Crankiness of Opera Singers. Tenors are more troublesome than other singers. That is because they have a fair knowledge of the laws that govern supply and demand. The good tenor voice is more scarce than any other, and it is worth more to its possessor, and he is naturally more careful of it. An operatic tenor oftentimes makes himself positively disagreeable to all about him by his senseless course. In his opinion the happiness of mankind and the movements of the planets all depend upon the state of his vocal organs. To him life begins and ends with the voice, and to be happy it must be in good trim. A tenor especially is easily thrown out of condition, and because he is so sensitive is one reason why he is so impractical. His whole mind and his entire existence are concentrated upon his vocalization, and he becomes in time the worst repre sentative of that division of humanity known as cranks. When he is not anx ious about his condition he is worried lest in the evening's performance he shall not be able to strike his high "C" with proper force and clearness, nnd after he has strnck it be is alarmed lest his organ may have been overstrained in the effort. All this narrow channel of thought and action tends to make him foolish. There are ex ceptions to this rule as there are to every rule, but these exceptions are few. Chi cago Post. ' Ancient Gloves. There is nothing new u nder the sun. The carving of a long glove has been found in a hole where cave dwellers once lived. Jnst when these strange people existed has not been decided, but was thousands and thou sands of years ago, and the sculptured glove is of the same shape as the many button ones worn by ladies of the present. The gloves of the ante-glacial occupants of a cave are supposed to have been made of roughly dressed skin sewed with needles of bone; bnt they were worn just the same, and the general pattern remains un changed. There is plenty of other evidence that gloves are of very remote origin, although none that goes back so far. The Anglo Saxons wore gloves in the Seventh cent urybnt tho men were the ones then to ob serve the custom, the ladies covering-their hands with their sleeves. Earlier than this Norman officials and high personagss of that country covered their hands, and in many places in the; Bible the word "shoe" is used whim scholars maintain it means "glove." New York Ledger. Sjcns of HVcather. A recent little work on barometric plants, published in France, gives, among other interesting facts, the following: If the stalks of clover and other leguminous plants stand upright there will be rain; if the leaf of the wood sorrel urns-up it is a sign of a storm, as in also the-closing-.of the convolvulus flower, the expanding of the lettuce flower and the turning-upside down of the flower of the pitcherplantbut if the last named stands erect it will be fine, as It will be if the flower or the -sorrel opens.
