THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1890. METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE. The signal service department of the agricultnral college has recently receiv ed a complete set of instruments for determining the metcoroloical phe- nomina. It has three stations of six thermometers each for testing the tem perature of the soil at different depths. At each station, is a six-inch ther mometer, a 1-foot thermometer, a 2-foot thermometer, 3 fcot thermometer, and a 4-foot thermometer. Up to this date the two-inch thermometers have registered a temperature of sixty-nine degrees, and the 4 foot thermometer as high as fifty degrees. At the begin ning of the month the 4-foot ther mometers gave an average tempera ture of forty-six degrees, showing a change of foui degrees at that depth. Very soon there v ill be put on the grounds two new thermometers; one determines the maximum radiated heat of the sun during the day, and the other determines the minimum heat, or the least radiated heat of the earth. These thermometers are self-registering. The service also has an exposed thermometer, a wet bulb thermometer, a maximum thermometer, ai.d a min imum thermometer. The latter two are self-registering, and give the max imum heat and the minimum heat of the atmosphere during each twenty four hours. From the wet bulb ther mometer the amount of moisture in the atmosphere is determined. One of the most interesting devices to determine the temperature of the atmosphere is the thermograph; this instrument is- in a little case about twelve inches long, six inches high, and eight inches wide, outside of this case is a metal band about three inches Ion? and a little over an inch wide; this is so arranged that, the elongation I -if fTip hrmil iimip n !oi'(-r. which ncl- ., , - i i Jin bloom; bees are swarming ear ins upon another lever, at the end ot ; 7 . . y- which' is a pen, moves it up or down according to the contraction or elonga tion of the mettl band; on this the pen registers the temperature of every moment of the day on a paper which is arranged on a drum, which revolves by time keeping machinery. The service have also an aneroid barometer and a barograph to deter mine the pressure of the atmosphere. The aneroid is about three hiclfes in diameter and looks like a little com pass; the barograph is in a case similar to that of in thermograph, the only material difference is that the barograph has a series of eight little metal cases about the sizr? of a silver dollar, which are hollow, and are nearly vacuums. When the air is light these little cases expand and lengthen a lever and. this in turn acts on another lever and so on until the lever is acted on which bears the pen. This one is lowered-showing a rarer atmosphere. When the air is heavy the little cases are pressed to gether, and thus raise the pen. , v. On the top of the college building are, the anemoscpe for determining the direction of the wind; the anemometer for determining the velocity of the wind. The latter is connected with machinery on the third floor by electric wires; the electricity is generated by a battery of four cells; when the cups have revolved wi. the wind a mile, a peg, so arranged on the outside wheel of the dial, presses a metalic band against the side of the case covering where the connection is made with the battery and thus completes the circuit; this current then passes around a metalic bar and magnetizes it; these magnets in turn attract a steel plate, which is attached to the bar which holds the pencil, and causes the pencil to be deflected from its course about the eighth of an inch; as soon as the current is broken the pencil and steel plate are drawn back to their original position by a spring. It is by the number of these little side marks that the observer is enabled to determine the rate of the wind during any hour of the day or night. We had a "high" wind on the 29th inst. lasting an hour or two, the rate was as high as 33 miles per hour. Our average sea breeze travels at the rate of about 12 milss per hour. Of course this is only an approximate taken from the limited observations since the service has been fully equippped- ' Earthquakes in California and storms and floods in the eastern states continue to deal devastation. The more the people of Oregon hear about other states, the more they are satisfied with their own.

The following is taken from the report of the weather crop bulletin issued by B. S. Fague, U. S. signal service observer, for the week ending April 26, and of crops in Benton county: Corvallis. The effect of too much rain on. wheat is yet eas i!y detected on the low seepy lands; but it has improved much J he past week; - wheat on dry land is looking fine; clover and other grasses are growing rapidly; a few appl trees are in bloom; in the gardens English peas are three inches high; letteuce is as large as a saucer; seeds of cabbage, brocoli, kale, letteuce and radishes plant ed out in the beds are up and growing, vigorously. Toiedo. Weather very favorable to all crops. Jonroe.- Apple trees are Her than usual; all vegetation is rank, especially grass; all crops looking well. Wells. Crops are in a promismgeondition.

DONT GO OFF BEFORE YOU ARE READY, Particularly on a long journey. Be fully prepared. You cannot be, permit ns to say. unless you are accompanied wjj-h the travel er's and tourist's vade mecvm, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, most genial of appetizers, acctimaters and promoters of digestion. Against sea sickness, malaria, cramps anil colics begotten of badly cooked or unwhole some food and brackish water, nervousness, increased by travel, chronic biliousness and constipation, the Bitters is a sovereign pre ventive. It imparts a relish for food not altogether to your taste, and prevents it dis agreeing with you. Never was there such a capital thing for the unfortunate dyspep tic who stands in dread of the best cooked meal. Stomachic trouble caused by ill pre pared viands aboard ship, on steamboats, and rations hastily bolted at railway res taurants, is soon remedied by the Bitters, which gives a Quietus also to rheumatism, kidney troubles and insomnia. .

Psoriasis 5 years, covering face, head and entire body with white scabs. Skin red, itchy and bleeding Hair all gone. Spuit hundred i of dollars. Pronounced incurable. Cured by Caticnra Remedies. Cured by Cuticura ly disease (psoriasis) first broke out on my left cheek, spreading across my unse, and almost covering my face. It ran iuto my eyes, and the physician was afraid I would lose rov eyesight altogether. Ic spread all over my liead, and my hair all fell out, until I was entirely bald-headed; it then broke out on my arms and shoulders, until my arms were just one sore. It cov ered my entire body, my face head, and shoulders being the worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my head shoulders, and arms; the skin would thicken and be red and very itchy, and would crack and bleed if scratched. After, spending many hun dreds of dollar, I W:i8 pronounced incur able. I heard of the CtfTICUSA Remedif.3, and after using two bottles Cuticusa Re solvent, I could see a change; and after I had taken four bottles, I was almost cured; and when I had used six bottles of Cuticuba Resolvent and one box of Cutictjha, and ona cike of Cdtccra Soap, I was cured of the dreadful disease from which I had suffered for five years. I thought the dis ease would leave a very deep scar, but the Cuticura Remedies cured it without any scars. I cannot express with a pen what I suffered before using the Coticitba Rbjib jies. They saved my life, and I feel it my duty to recommend them. My hair is re stored as good as ever, , and so is my eye sight. I know of others who have receiv ed great benefit from their use. Mks.

D art's President Cleveland's Prize for the three best babies at the Aurora County Fair, In 1887, was fiven to these triplets, Mollie, Ida, and Hay, children of Mrs. A. K. Dait, Hamburgh, N. Y. . he writes : " Last August the little ones became very sick, and as I could get no other food that would agree with them, I commenced the use of LRCtated Food. It helped them imme diately, and they were soon as well as ever, and I consider it very largely due to the Food that they are now so well." Lactated Food is the best Food for bottle-led babies. It keeps them well, and is better than medicine when they are sick. Three sizes : 25c, 50c, SI 00. At druggists. Cabinet photo, of these triplets sent free to the mother of any baby born this year.
