Giddixgs, Texas, July 1st 1891.
Editob B,uoceb. I have just re
turned from Aaansas Pass, where I
met Messrs. B. B. Eivers and Julian
McFarland, of Brenham, injoying
the delightful Gulf breeze, for wnicn
that city is fully noted, it being one
of the most pleasant summer resorts
upon the Texas coast.
I also attended the sale of lots at
PortlaDd, which is beautifully situa
ted en CorpuB Christi bay, about
saven miles north of Corpus Christi
and through which runs the 'San
Antonio and Aransas Pass railroad.
This town has a growth of about
six weeks and has about five hundred
inhabitants and is destined to be to
to Corpus Chaisti what Brooklyn is
to New York. The picturesque land
scape view, the .varied and beautiful
scenery and the delightful gulf
breeze, all well repay the visitor to
Bockport.

AS EXAMPLE OF HAIL MAKING.
The interesting phenomenon of
hail m the actual process of forma
tion has been witnessed by Prof.
Tosetti, in Northern Italy. In the
afternoon of a squally day, he was
looking eastward from a house
which, with two others, enclosed a
court, when he saw the rain, which
was streaming from the roof to the
right, caught by a very cold wiud
from the north and driven back and
up ia thick drops. Suddenly a gust
of wind from the south struck the
drop?, and tossed them in all direc
tions, transforming them into balls
of ice. This formation of hail
ceased when the south 'wind ceased,
but was repeated three or four
times in ten minutes.
XEW METE0I50L0ICAL RECORDS.
In January of last year, the sys
tematic observation of snow was
commenced in Russia at 428 stations
in the European portions of the
Empire, at 21 in the Asiatic, and at
55 m the Caucasus. At nist tlio
record 6imply stated daily whether
the ground .was covered or not, but
last winter tho inquiry was extended
to the depth and general behavior
of the snow. In a report for Eu
ropean Russia for the early months
of 1890, Herr Berg has mapped the
southern and the western limits of
the continuous snow covering for
the first and fifteenth of January,
February, March and April. In the
west, the snow extended steadily
until the beginning of March, the
limit being then close to the Baltic;
in the Southeast, there was steady
advance until February, and as far
as the coast of the Caspian in th-i
south, the advance was fluctuating,
there being a maximum in the middle
of January, and the middle of Feb
ruary, both reaching to the Black
Sea coast. The retirement of the
snow limit began in the south and
south-east in the middle of February;
in the west about half a month later.
On April 15 the limit passed through
Onega on the White Sea. Wetluga,
and Katnerinenburg. By the first
oi iiay, an European itussia was
free fiom snow.

mandez offered to fight the stranger

that he did all the nghtmg for his
companions. Hermandez and Vas

bad much the best of it. Herman
dez drew his revolver and struck
Vasquez on the head. Vasquez

Elmer Hodson, Alvaretto, Tex., writes:
"llv strength and health had been failing
me lor several years. My blood was in a
very impoverished condition and very im
pure. My limbs felt lame, rickety and
rheumatic, and I could not walk without
tottering. I felt myself growing prema
turely old, and my face began to look
pinched and shrivelled. I suffered con
siderable, was restless at night, very ner
vous, and growing very melancholy. My
eyes were sore and I had catarrh. I tried
many tonics, and bitters and blood puri
fiers, but failed to get better. I finally

improved, pimples and sores disappeared
from my person, aches and stiff joints left
me, and I consider myself a well person."
