oma Faela About Weather CkugcaCold
CarrcnU From tlie North and Warm
One From the Soatb-FffecU of Mg
netle Fare.
Murch improfKi-s itat lf upoj thedwell-
r in the imrtlieru linlf of the United
States oh a particularly windy aud dis-
agreeauio niiiuili, with mrong alterua
tious of wintry mid mild weuther. This
is due to tiie breaking up of the condi
tion! that bavo prevailed since Decem
ber aud tho pnxwm-K of return to spring
and summer. There in in the aretio zone
an enormous anmnutof cold tuaterinl to
be disposed of, covering the northern
regious iu the form of he and enow. At
the same timo the soul hern zone is be
coming decidedly warmer in conse
quenco of tho advance, of the nun to the
northern Bide of the equator.
The United States is peculiarly tho
theater of this content between the
giants of cold and brat, and they stag
ger back aud forth over this territory iih
one or the other is for the timn being in
the strongest form. The cold waves
launch themcelves from thuin rih and
carry thoir icy chill to tho warm south -era
states; or, on the other hand, the
warm currents of air from tho south ad
vauce fur into the north, mid thih i.lur
nation causes a rapid variation iu the
temperature and the other weather con
ditious at stations of tho middle lati
tudes. An examination of the storm tracks
for March gives very definite cvideiier
of the effect of this struggle for suprem
acy. Instead of being coullued to the
neighborhood of the mean tracks, it is
found that they spread out over the en
tire territory of the United States from
north so aonth. The phenomenon of
looping southward aloug the Rocky
mountain slope before reenrving north
eastward to the gulf of St. Lawrence is
most pronounced.
The storms which first develop in Al
berta or on the north Pacific coast may
advance directly eastward over the lakes
to the gnlf, or they may be pushed south
and recurve in Colorado, Missouri, south
ern Illinois or southern Indiana, in or
der to move to the St Lawrence val
ley, or else they may be propelled still
farther south along the Rocky mountain
slope to Texas and the gulf coast, wheuce
they proceed to the south Atlantic count,
and then turn northward to Newfound
land. Not a few of these storms dissi
pate in tho lake region or the Ohio val
ley: others will persist In a path of
nearly 6,000 miles, from Alberta to
southern Texas, South Carolina aud
finally to Newfoundland. The unequal
distribution of the tracks of the storms
in March is therefore due to the irregu
lar propnlsion of cold masses of air from
the urctio regions into the middle of the
North American continent
A peculiarity of continental action is
that in summer the interior is warmer
than the borders, but iu winter the in
terior is colder than the coasts. The up
per luke region and the upper Mississip
pi valley are especially remarkable for
this feature. Between the 95 degree aud
100 degree meridians, and between par
allels 60 degrees to 65 degrees, the
change iu temperatnre is the greatest
known iu North America ; it is coldest in
winter there, and also it may become
the hottest part of the conutry in sum
mer; the range of temperuture inny De
ftora 45 degrees below tero in winter to
106 degrees above zero iu summer, a
range of 150 degrees. The encroach
ments of spring upon tno winter in
North America proceed from tho ex
treme southwest, the gulf of California
aud the Colorado river valley, uud ad
vance toward tne northeast.
This leads to a description of one ol
the most characteristic feutures of thr
advance of the snmmer upon the Koiil
American continent. Iu winter tho line
of equal normal temperature, that is
the isotherms, are grouped about tin
cold pole in quite a symmetrical man
ner, bending southwaid iu tho interim
as thoy pass from the Atlantic to tin
Paciflocoast. This configuration muybi
regarded as normal from November ti
March inclusive. In the summer tin
formation is somewhat inverted, thr
lines bending northward from tho coasts
toward the iuterio'r, though tho crest is
now farther west iu (lie dry Rocky
mountain regiou. The gulf of Califor
nia is the central regiou of beat, and
the crest extends from Vumu, A. T.,
northeastward toward the Dukotns.
The magnetic force Foems to be effi
cient iu producing meteorological effects
in proportion as it can opnruto iu cold
atmospheric conditions. Heuco tho en
croachment of warm air from the south
ern Rocky mountain districts, as spring
comes ou, is ntifuvorublo for this kind
of action, and it seeks to transfer its
soat to 1 he portions of the interior of
the continent that still retain low tem
peratures, namely, to the Hudson bay
districts. luuliy, as tne snmmer nea
conquers this cold territory, the winter
high pases away entirely, and the
whole orctio regiou is covered by low
pressures.
The unsettled weather of the month
of March, especially in the portheaBtern
portions of the United States, with its
rapid alternations of warm and cold
winds, often reaching considerable vio
lence, is, therefore, the parting salute
of the cold winter that has prevailed
for five months throughout the northern
cap. A most impressive feature of thia
change, as deduced irom a ciose emu
of the barometers ana temperature reuu
ings of the weather bureau, is the sud
deuuess with which the struggle is con
eluded iu the northwest, for Murch of
un eomea in with a very violent action,
and this is almost certuin to end about
the 20th of the month with moderate
movement! of the air. The struggle is
prolonged in the east but is usually
about over by tne lutn 01 Apm. .writ

An article by Nicola Tesla is pub
lished in tho current number of Tho
Electricul Review describing his experi
ments in radiography. The scientific
world has Wen eagerly awaiting an ex
pression of opinion from Mr. Tesla,
who is known to have begun his experi
ments within half an hour after the
news of Professor Roentgen's discovery
was cabled to this conutry. Two re- i
niurkutilo radiographs are printed with
the article. Our of these shows the right j
shoulder of a muu taken through Ids
clothing and through n plate of glass ,
three-sixteenths of an inch thick aud
two inches of wood. This radiograph,
which was made at the distance of four
feet from the source of tho X rays,
shows the ribs, shoulder bones and I
bones of the upper arm. The other rudi j
cgraph shows a copper wire bent to ,
form the word "Roentgen," and was
made at a distance of 1 1 feet from the
wooden slide covering tbe sensitized
plate.
Mr. Tesla also states that the rarefac
tion of Crookes tubes used in these ex
periments maybe increased by electrical
means to any degree desirable, far be
yond that obtainable by mechanical ap
pliances. Iu regard to the nature of X
rays he says :
"I am getting more ami mora con
vinced that we have to deal with a
stream of mult rial particles, which
strike the sensitive plutu with great ve
locities. Taking us a basis the estimate
of Lord Kelvin on tho speed of project
ed particles iu a Crookes bulb, we ar
rive easily by the employment of very
high potentials to apords of as much as
a huudred kilometers a second. Now,
again, the old question arisen, Are the
particles from the ehvtrode or from the
charged surface genetnlly, including the
case of an external electrode, projected
through tho glass or uluminiuiu walls,
or do they merely hit the iuuer surface
and cause panic!)1 from tho outside of
the wall to fly off, acting iu a purely
mechanical way, us w lieu a row of ivory
balls is struck? rWi fur most of the phe
nomena indicate that they are projected
through the wall of the bulb, of what
ever material it may lie, und I am seek
ing for still mote conclusive evidence
iu this direction. It is now demonstrat
ed beyond uny doubt that small metal
lic objects or bony or chalky deposits
can be infallibly detected iu any purt of
the body."
Tesla has also secured radiographs
showing the bony structure of birds and
rubbits, even to the hollow of the bones,
fie bus secured a radiograph of a rabbit
after an hour's exposure in which not
only every detail of the skeletou is visi
ble, but also a clear outline of the ab
dominal cavity, the lungs aud the fur.
Radiographs of lurgo birds show the
feathers distinctly. In unother instance
an exposure of 40 minutes gave a radio
graph of tho human skull, showing
clearly not only tho out line but the
cavities of tbe rye, chin, cheek, nasal
bones, the lower jaw and connections to
tho skull, the flesh mid even tho hair.
Mr. Tesla concludes bis communication
as follows :
"By exposing the head to a powerful
radiation strange effects have becu noted.
Fur instance, I find that there is a tend
ency to sleep, aud the time seems to
pass away quickly. There is a general
soothing effect, and I have felt a sensa
tion of warmth iu the upper part of the
bead. Au assistant independently con
firmed tbe tendency to sleep aud the
quick lapse of time, bhould these re
markable effects be verified by men with
keener seuses of observation, 1 shall still
more firmly believe iu the existence of
material streams penetrating the sknlL
Thus it may be possible by these strange
appliances to project a suituble chemical
into any purt of tho body.
"Roentgen advauord modestly his ro-
suits, wuruiug against too much hope.
Foitunutely his apprehensions were
groundless, for, although we huvo to ull
appearance to deal with mere shadow
projections, the possibilities of the ap
plication of this discovery are vast."

Mrs. Stanton s a.ife.
Mrs. Btiuiton wrote of herself not long
ago: "I urn a moderate eater, enjoying
simple food. I have always worn my
clothing loosely, resting on my shoul
ders, and of the lightest material, with
the lightest trimming possible; large
boots, broad soles and low heels; conse
quently my feet have kept np with the
weight they were required tocarry. Not
a nerve or a muscle, from head to foot,
suffer! any pressure from clothing. My
teeth are all sound, my hair luxuriant,
my hearing perfect and my eyes still
able to road flue print without specta
cles. I bave brought np seven children,
kept house 00 yeats aud workod in all
the reforms. Aud now, In the sunset of
life, I am still busy with pen aud
tongno, as deeply interested as ever in
all the questions of the hour, fueling
with Longfellow tbut
"Age la opportunity no Iraa
Than youth Itself, though In another droaa,
And aa the evening twilight foUea away
Tha aky la filled with slant Invl.llilo by day."
A Miniature Parliament.
There is a miniature parliament at
Newuham, England's well known wom
an's college, with a cabinet and prime
minister of its own. The Conservatives
are just now in power, in this young leg
islature, which yields nothing in spirit
and ardor to its prototype ou the Thames
embankment. It has legalized the open
ing of museums and picture galleries
on Sundays, but declined to allow Sun
day opening of theaters and other pub
lio places of amusement. The most ex
citing debate of the session was on vol
untary schools, when, after a hard fight,
the government, by a mujority of ten,
passed a motion "viewing with disfa
vor" the action of the educational de
partment in pluciug voluutury schools
under disadvantages compared with
board schools. An intercollegiate debate
has been arranged with Oirton, its sis
ter college, the motiou to be, "Tbut it
is good for its-let y that people should bs
afraid of being thought peculiar."

A congressman Is a public servant iu
the full sense of the word.
He is responsible to hii constituents,
to hi! party, to himself the honorable
office is full of bard, thankless work,
aud heavy responsibility.
Congressman William W. Urout Is

There Is something wrong when
one feels "tired all the time." It Is
contrary to every condition of good

of taking Paine's oelery compound,

Some of the earliest good resnlts no

recently sent to the workhouse forMfi

sutis bwonie fatigued and bsdly nour
ished, the bad effect Is seen in failing
digestion, distressing, ringing sounds
in the ears, dissy spells, depression,
neuralgia and lassitude. Spring days
afford every one tha opportunity for
shaking off old weaknesses and persist
ut disorders.
Pbyslolani of every school have been
from tbe start urged to Inquire into
tbe formula of Palne's oelery com
pound, that they might satisfy them
selves of Its wonderful power of mak
ing the liok well. Prof. Edward K.
Phelps, M. D., LL. D., si soou i he
presented Pslne'i celery oompouu 1 to
his follow physicians, was always anx
ious to have the Invigorator tried in
cases tast resisted the usual methods of
treatment, that be might prove the
truth of every claim made for his new
ly discovered formula for Paine's oel
ery compound. The great remedy al
ways gave relief, and in 91) oases out of
100 made people well.
Palne's oelery compound cannot be
judged by the standard of any ordinary
medloine, sarsaparilla or nerve tonio.
It is a great modern, soientiflo discov
ery, singularly nnlike any remedial
agent that baa ever aimed to effect a
similar purpose to make people well.
Palne's oelery oompouud U the one
real ipring remedy known today thai
never fall! to benefit Uet Palne's cel
