Signs of Approaching Storms at Sac
ramento.
Mow Thoir Coming Maj* be Known Be
forehand—lnteresting Article
on tho Subject.
a
In the last monthly bulletin issued by
liirector Barwick of tho State Weather
IService appears the following article, pre
pared by authority of the Chief of tho
Weather Bureau at Washington, I). C:
A storm of any degree of severity need
Dot !>o looked for, anticipated, or ex
pected, unless brisk to high southerly or
southeasterly wiuds blow at tho rate of
Irom twenty to thirty miles per hour,
an.l the clouds move from the southeast,
■ ■■! oinpaiiied by a tailing barometer. The
storm will last as long as the clouds
move from the southeast. When tho
cloud movement veers to the south tho
weather becomes showery, whilo the
\v>nd's direction may still remain in the
southeast. When the clouds begin mov
ing Irom the southwest, the storm is
practically ovor and clearing or cessation
of rain may be looked for. The wind's
direction lollows the cloud movement
slowly, lagging behind several hours;
that is, the cloud movement veers to tlie
South j.nd southwest before the wind does.
The approach of a storm here, as else
where, is usually preceded from twelve
to twenty-four and sometimes thirty-six
hours by cirrus clouds. If the storm
center moves from the northwest in a
southerly direction, then the cirrus
clouds soon form into cirro-stratus, and
yery frequently before the approaching
Storm affects the barometer.
Tho wind is usually from the north
during iho day and from the south at
night, and as the storm approaches tho
wind will remain in the south, increas
ing in velocity, and at the same time the
moisture in the atmosphere will very
. tibly increase. If the storm is one
ol severity the clouds will begin moving
rapidly from tho southeast, desTccnding
toward the-earth's surface uutil they are
quito low, forming "scud" clouds, from
which precipitation soon begins, This gen
erally follows in from eighteen to thirty
six hours after the tirst cirrus clouds
make their appearance. At times cirrus
an.l cirro-stratus clouds may form and
give every indication of rain, but unless
brisk to high southeasterly winds blow,
no rain of any account need bo looked
lor. A storm center to the north of Cal
ifornia passing eastward will cause
cioinls to form and tho barometer to fall,
with Iresh to brisk southerly winds blow
ing, but if the clouds move from the
southwest, the observer can safely prodict
bul little rain will be precipitated, unless
the clouds change their course and move
from the southeast.
ihese are the general signs and indtca
- of our severe winter storms. In the
l eginning of the rainy season in Soptciii
i er and i irt..!ier, as well as at the end, in
May and -lune, tliese signs or indications
are not always to be roiiod upon, unless
.: oinetei talis rapidly and to quito a
low point. Even then it sometimes ends
in wind, with littlo if any precipitation,
ially ht the barometer begins to rise
rapidly, i Generally speaking, in Septem
ber and May, when threatening weather
appears and clouds hover over the Sierra
Nevada Mountains and move down upon
the valley from a northeast direction,
slight local showers may be predicted
without laii.
Hailstorms, with thunder and light
ning, usually pass from the soutiiwest to
rtheast, while the wind's direction
will he iresh from the southeast, i >cca
sionally thunder is heard and lightning
s.en in the north, northeast, oast, aud
southeast, with heavy bauks of euinulo
clouds or thunder-heads hovering
over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. A.s a
il thing these storms are local und
confined to tho region in which they
A great many times lightning
will he seen, but no thunder heard. At
su ii times these thunder-head clouds will
bo from in to .in above the horizon.
It is at the closing of tho rainy season,
in March, April and May, and that be
ginning ot tho rainy season, in Septem
ber, October and November, that thunder
and lightning storms are the most iium
i and of a much heavier variety. In
izteen years this station has beon
1 iJulyi, 1877, to June 30,1893),
thero have been recorded fifty-seven
electrical storms, including those where
sheet lightning was seen at a great dis
tance from the fetation and uo thunder
heard. Of those whicii passed ovor this
station and gavo heavy hail and rain with
vivid lightning and loud thunder, thirty
occurred in the months ot March, April
and May, as follows: Nine in March,
.v April and thirteen in May. In
lonths of September, October and
November sixteen were observed, as fol
low--: Ten in September, four In Octo
ber and two in November, leaving the re
maining eleven to be distributed among
tho other six months of tlie year, as fol
lows: Two iv January, oue iv Febru
ary, three in June, throe in July, one in
August and one m Dei ember.
There is occasionally a cold, drizzling
rain when the wind is blowing from four
to six and eight miles an hour from the
north, but Invariably on such occasions
oudg w iii be noticed moving from a
southerly and generally southeasterly
direction, The records show that the
greater number of our thunder and
lightning storms in May and September
move from the southwest toward the
northeast, and Irom tlie southeast toward
the northwest. Those from the south
re usually accompanied by surface
v in.is from the southeast, aud those
storms which pass from tho southeast to
ward the northwest have surface winds
from some northerly quarter; that is.
■ical storms aro accompaniod by
surface winds blowing in an opposite di
rection to that from which the storm is
traveling, especially those which come
Crom the southeast and pass to the north-

HE TERROR AND THE TENDERFOOT.
A Story of Cold Nerve -Developed Under
Stress ol" Circumstances..
New York Sun: "As a general thing."
said an old '4'Jer, "tbe tenderfoot wasn't
in it with the bud man of the mining
camp, aud it wasn't natural to expect
that he should be, but occasionally there
did appear one who could more than hold
his own. I recall a man named Caleb
Fin by, who came to Dream (lulch in its
earlier days, when that region was full of
bad men. lie was a tall, spare young
man, with a head full of brains, and ho
was quick and businesslike in every
thing that he did, but still ho was not a
man that the generality of meu would
havo picked out as tlie possessor of nerve.
"Mr. Finny set out one day to go to
the neighboring camp of Devil's Claw
Canyon. As ho was proceeding along
the road he suddenly came upon, or,
rather there came suddenly upon him, a
man who asked him to throw up his
hands. It was Big Bill Belter, the terror
of Devil's Claw Canyon.
*''I throw 'em up. said Mr. Finby,
cheerfully, as he raised them, 'because
you ask me to, and I don't want to seem
impolite. But at tho same time I must
inform you that you are taking au en
tirely unnecessary precaution; my guv
isn't loaded.'
"Mr. Belter was himself a man of fine
gall, and his recognition of that quality
ill another awakened in him a certain de
gree of admiration. Quick to perceive
tlie change in Mr. Belter's manner, faint
and undefined as it was, Mr. Finby
went on:
" 'But I realize now. as I have not dono
beforo, tho carelessness of going about in
this way practically unarmed, and if
yon'll permit mo I'll load now as a guard
against future contingencies.'
"Mr. Finny's hands came down .as he
uttered the concluding words, for he had
seen tbe hand that hud held the pistol
leveled against him fall slowly as the
Terror listened with a sort of astonished
amusement.
"Mr. Finby had in his hip pocket a
pistol aud in his waistcoat pocket a box
of cartridges, which lie had bought in
deference to the advice of friends, but
which he had never brought together
into useful conjunction, partly becauso
ho was not personally bloodthirsty, and
partly becauso of overconfidenoe in the
human race. But ho proceeded now to
load with perfect calmness, but in his
heart amazed at tlie utter lack of precau
tion now displayed by Mr. Belter, who
stood leaning against a tree and laugh
ing, apparently quite overcome by the
broad humor of the situation. Suddenly
it was discovered that .Mr. Finby's gun
was being held iv such a position that
Mr. Bolter could, without inconvenience,
look square iuto the muzzle of it, and
Mr. Belter discovered also at the samo
moment in Mr. Finby's eye a iitrnt
wliose meaning no sane man could by
any possibility misunderstand. Mr.
Belter was a man with a vast apprecia
tion of the humorous, but not even his
sense of humor could discover the
laiutest gleam of fun in the situation as
at present developed, and he suffered tho
ten 1 rloot to proceed without furthor
molestation."

THE GLOVE UPON THAT HAND.
Lot It Xot Ue a Blinding Murvel ln
Prlsnnitlc Hues.
If you have a taste for emulating tho
rainbrow in gorgeousness, so far as may
be, the giovors havo dono all in their
power this season to aid'you. Gloves of
cv rv shade of greeu,<*t'roin sea-foam to
apple, dangle beioro jour eyes. Gloves
of pink and gloves of purplo lie in their
cases, wooing the lover of color to buy
them. Gloves of lemon color and gloves
of orange are not lacking.
Thore are gloves as still with embroid
ery as the old-fashioned christening robes
used to be. There aro gloves that glitter
with steel and gloves that gleam with
bronze. There aro gloves with silk of
divers hues worked up the back. And
these aro all gloves that the self-respect
ing woman will avoid.
It is almost unnecessary to remark that
thoy are vulgar. Sometimes with a gown
of green or heliotrope it is permissible to
your gloves of exactly the same shade,
although even then quite as good an eilect
could have been gained by carefully
choosiug a shade of gray or m'odo or tan
that harmonised with the gown. Any
thing; that makes tlie hand—even though
it be a beautiful oue—remarkable is to be
shunned.
Put into your glove-box some black
suede gloves, which havo a happy faculty
of being appropriate with almost any
costume. Put in some soft gray gloves
and some mode color ones. Add a pair
of heavily stitched reddish-brown glaco
kid to wear with your severely made
dark walking suit, a couple of pairs of
white washable kid ones for wear with
your gingham dresses, and a pair of driv
ing gauntlets, and you will always be
well aud correctly gloved.

Silver and Wages.
[Los Angeles Express.]
Some men who work for wages have an
ides that freo coinage of silver would be a
good tiling for them as well as for the
owners of silver mines. This could oniy
be true if free coinage would raise wages
or would add to the purchasing power ot
the wages now paid. Now tiie chief ad
vocates of free silver declare that tiie
effect of it would bo to raiso tho value of
silver bullion to a parity with gold. If
ithis be true, and sil.er money is to be
; made and kept as good as gold, there
i would be no reason to demand more
j wages. But if silver money is not to lie
das gold, tho worker for wages
would sufler, lor a silver dollar would
not buy as much as it does now. Cer
tainly no change in our coinage laws cau
mako silver money any better than gold.
Advocates of free silver may argue that
free ■ oinago would benefit workingmen
by making money more plentiful ana
ising the employment of labor. But
tlie fact is that if the mints of the United !
- were kept running to their full !
capacity tney could not coin silver dollars
Easter than at the rate of 30,000,000 or 40,
--"o.>o,imo a year. Under the present law for
tho purchaso of silver bullion tha certiti
eate-s issued amount to s..|,iioo,ii,io a year.
lt is far easier to keep silver certificates
j in circulation than the coined silver dol
lars. Thore are upward ol 300,000,000 sil
ver dollars in the Treasury now, ■
j which silver c«rti_icates are outstai
; The certificates are more convenient for
: circulation than the coin. It has
impracticable to keep more than about
,000 silver dollars in circulation as
i coin. If more bo forced into the channels
of circulation it is speedily carried bao__
to tho Treasury.

appear to bave laid this rulo down in so
many words, but it is a logical deduction
from bis action. It is noteworthy that be
has not sent nominations to the Senate.
Members of Congress who have called
upon him with reference to changes in
their local offices say that thej- have met
with a very chilling reception. The Presi
dent in private conversation beforo the j

TUE PRESIDENT IX NEW YORK.
New York, Aug. 11.—President Cleve
land arrived hero shortly after noon, and
went with Secretary Lament to the Vic
toria Hotei, where the I'resident re
mained till evening, He and Lamont
will then go to Buzzard's Bay, whore La
mont will remain till Monday.
Alter lunch tho President and Colonel
Lamont were driven to Dr. Bryant's
house, were the latter joined the party,
and they were driven to the Victoria
Hotel, where Colonel Lamont left the car
riago. The carriage was then drivou to
tho dock of the Fall Kiver Line to take
the steamer Puritan. As the President
alighted it was noticed that his step was
not as elastic as when ho came from Buz
zard's Bay last week. His eyes looked
heavy. The President immediately wont
to his cabin.
Dr. Bryant was askod: "Is it not I
strange, doctor, that the President should
leave the seat of Government while Con- j
gross is engaged with legislation of a vi
tally important character?"
He replied that ho was not prepared to
criticise the President.
"Perhaps a domestic event is requiring
his presence?"
"It would be unprofessional on my
part to speak of that matter."
The colored porter who waited on the
President said just before the boat de
parted at 5 o'clock that the President was
undressing to go to bed. The improssion
prevailed on the Puritan tbat tne Presi
dent's condition is far from well.

NOVEL SUBSTITUTE FOR SILK.
A Process by Which lt Is Mndo From
Cobwebs and Wood.
A prominent revenue officer of Mont
pellier, France, nauied lion, conceived
the idea of using cobwebs as a substitute
for silk. Tho notion wus uot a now one. In
1066, when one day, near Merseburg, Ger
many, tho neids, meadows and trees wero
covered by masses of peculiar blue cob
webs, the women of tliat town, both mar- ;
ried and unmarried, wanted to preserve
souvenirs of the strange phenomenon.
Thoy, therefore, by spinning, made orna
mental strings and similar trinkets of the
cobwebs.
Ron had gloves and stockings manu
factured of common cobwebs, and sent
these articles, together with a treatise on
the raising ol" spiders, to the Academy of ;
Sciences ul Paris iv 17(i<>. A commission I
was appointed for examining theso propo- |
sitions, to which commission the famous
; natunilist Keaumur belonged, the iv- '
\ ventor of a theromoineter still bearing j
- _____ name. He showed that Bon's plan I

was impracticable, because not enough
ilies could be procured for fepding the spi
oerskept for breeding. This seems to be
credible, il oue considers that nearly
raO,ooo spiders would yield only one
pound of silk. Bon's' idea was
repeatedly revived, and particu
larly American spiders, yielding a more
compact thread, were recommended;
put cloths made of cobweb silk always
remain curiosities. Thus tho French
naturalist l.'Urbigny had a pair of solid
trousers for which South Americau
spiders had furnished the raw material.
Reaumur, however, went lurther tlian
Hon. **\\ c shall borrow from animals?"
he asked. "If a common worm is able
to change the foliage it eats into silk,
man, with his higher intellect, shall bo
able, too, to make silk of similar things."
let Reaumur failed when be attempted
to prepare silk of gnms and resins, ln
the meantime mankind has advanced,
chemistry has beon greatly improved and
at Paris. Prance, they now manufacture
silk of wood.
In this respect even two methods havo
become known of laic—that of Chardon
net and another of l>u Vivier, both of
which in rcalityaro based upon the same
contrivances. If one pours nitric and
sulphuric acid, not particularly concen
trated and in a limited quantity, upon
cotton, consisting of cellulose "(woody
substance), one receives a kind
of weak gnu cotton, that, placed
into a mixture of ether and al
cohol, becomes a mucous mass known
as collodion. Exposed to the air this mass .
becomes solid again by votalization of
tho ether and the alcohol. The two
_.- rench chomists named prepare of wood
a mass similar to collodion, that, placed
in water, becomes solid nearly instan
taneously. Prom this mass, under water
threads are spun that are called artiticial
silk.
It Is a well-known fact that artificial
products always are inferior to natural
products. This is also tho ease with tho
artificial silk just described. It is glossy,
It is true, but it differs in sonic degree
Irom natural or gonuinesilk, particularly
by its combustibility. It burns with a
brighter Maine than- silk proper, wool, or
even cotton. Ladies, therefore, wearing
suchstull will do well particularly to be
ware of coming in contact with tire.
Nevertheless the beginning has been
made oi producing artilicial silk at the
laboratory. Perhaps the time will como
when man will excel the silk worm in
the production of silk. Por the present,
however, tlie silk worm still excels man
in this respect.

Dust In the Air.
Natural science is not ouly occupied
with groat and important problems, but
devotes considerable attention aud thor
oughness to very small ones. Angus
Rankin has given two years of anient
■study and research to tiie problem of
dost particles in the air, and the re
sult of his examination is that in mount
ainous regions 696 particles of dust are
allotted to eacii cubic half-inch of air in
one year. In London 100,000 panicles of
dust fall to each cubic half-inch of air
(iv ring the same space of time, and other
large cities aro not likely to faro better

Last Great Sea Fight.
Tho battlo of l.issa was the last grout sea
fight in history and the ouly ono wherein
armor-clad vessels have opposed other
similar vessels in any number. It was
fought on July 20, 1866, between the Aus
trians, under Admiral Tegotholf, and tho
Italians, under Admiral Persano. Each
sido had twenty-three vessels; but eleven
ol tho Italian lleot wero armor-clad,
whilo the Austrians mustered only seven
annor-clads. The battlo was remarkable
for the amount of ramming done by the
Austrians and. for that reason, has been
mentioned in connection with the cutting

A Good (;uine.
Golf is the latest fad among the Anglo
maniacs. It is a good gamo, too. although
Bafe and somewhat slow. There is very
little diil'eronco betwoen "shinny" and
golf. In the former a player gets an oc
casional whack on a peculiar bone just
midway between tho knee and the ankle,
and kuows thereafter ho has been enjoy
ing himself. In golf much tho same kind
ol a snub-ended stick and a ball are used,
but tbere is supposed to be more science
in tho links. Golf is really a second
cousin to "shinny."
