a I JOURNAL 6 THE COURIER-JOURNAL: LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1881. CONTROLLING THE WEATHER. Dr. Woolfolk Tells How It Can be Made to Order and Furnished in Any Quantity.

POLYTECHNIC PALAVER. Dr. Woolfolk, of Danville, occupied the rostrum last night at the Polytechnic Society, and the usually large audience was in attendance at an early hour. The subject of the lecture, "The Control of the Weather," in itself an attractive one, was treated in manner that kept the bearers in wrapped attention taroughout. The lecturer was introduced Rev.

Dr. Broadus, and a bearty thanks passed by the audience at its conclusion. The lecture was illustrated! by brilliant and interesting charts, showing the correctness of the author's views. Altogether the subject gained many followers, and wiil DO doubt, future attract the notice of our Government, which is the object of Dr. Woolfolk's lectertafumethe following is the substance of Re showed that cannon firing causes vortex over the area of gunpowder explosion, through which the polar current will aiways break its track, attended with storms of rain 10 summer and enow in winter, foliowed sovere cold.

He further set forth that the polar corrent confined track by cannonades, while around the globe the tropical current flows upon the surface of the earth, maintaiping a mild temperature throughout winter. Many facts were cited proving the correctness of this theory. The winter of the siege of Sebastopol was exceedingly severe in Europe and as mild as summer in America. The winter of 1863-4, during the cannon tiring of Chicamauga, Knoxville and Missionary Ridge, was extremely cold in America and warm As summer in Earope. The winter of the Franco-Prassian war (1870-1) was remarkably severe in Europe and exceedingly mild in America.

The winter of the Carlist war in -pain (1875-6) was severe in Europe and warm in America. The weather phenomena of the RassoTurkish war bear out the theory in a remarkable manner. The polar current was kept continuaily flowing over the area of the canDOD tiring in Turkey and Armenia, attended with immense precipitation. The Danube was kept swollen with rains for months; the Tigris overflowed its phenomenon that bas not occurred betore in the memory of man. While Eastern Europe and Western Asia were thus deluged with rains, the season WaS unusually dry in America, where the tropical current constantly flowed due north toward the poiar area to take the piace of the polar air which WaS Kept constautly 1OWIDE southward over the area of cannonade.

In this tropical current local vortices formed, giving local showera, but the season was unusually dry iD America. During the fall months beavy snow fell in Turker and America, showing the presence of the polar current over the ares of combat. a Even in September two feet of snow Was reported in the Balkan range. While the track af the polar current Was still kept open in Eastern Europe the tropical current was constantly flowing northward over the United States. maintaining mild.

tempetature till the end of December. The weather in December was warmer than the average temperature in the month of May. Excep: during two days of moderate cold, the tropical current flowed steadily from the south main taipiug mid, general temperature during the entire fail and the first winter mouth. By comparing the weather charts with the telegrams of CADDODades the effect vi cauDon firing on the weather may be readily perceived. A cannouade was unitormly followed by an irruption of the poiar current over the area of combat, while a compensating flow 01 the tropical current northward into the polar area occurred in America.

While the tropical fluid 1s dowing freely northward we bave warm, BUDDY weather. which Das usually lasted about 8 week. 'Then the currents become obstracted and cloudy weather, withfrain, follows; then Dolber fiow of the tropical current, wi.D clear, -unny weather, or, if DO battle occurs, 10e currents coutioue their couflict, with warm, cloudy weatber at first, followed by the usual alterations of winter weather. Tho great battle 10 which the Spanish Carlists were finally overtbrown was fought vil Saturday in March, 1876. For two weeks before, the weather in America bad been severe.

But on that Saturday night the tropical current began to sweep porthward at the rate of thirty miles 8D bour, and the weather became at once warm 88 spring in the latitude of the lakes; and simultaneously the polar current swept south across England and Spain, causing extremely severe cold, Not to enumerate other instances, the great battle at the fall of Plevda was followed by no eruption of the polar current over the scene of strife, and a flow of the tropical cur. rent over the United States, giving us a week of clear, warm spring. Megaid way tueury Dow as practically demobstrated. The atmospheric currents of the globe move with the regularity of grand machine, all mutually inter-connected and responsive throughout the globe to the force of a ringie local cause. By canuonades maintained upon the westermost of the Alentian Islands the track of the polar current may be kept open in the Pacific ocean during the entire w.bter, and the tropical current wiil bathe all the continents of the northern bemiepbere 1D warm bruezes from the tropics, maintaining bright, sunny summer weather el! winter.

Grass will grow in winter and flowers will bloom as in the month of May. Snows will disappear from British America; Greenland will once more deserve the name bestowed upon it by the Norse discoverers of the Tenth century; and Siberia, no longer covered with snow, will once more DO85066 the ssme balmy citmate 88 of old, when the mammoth rosmed her forests. The grand delta regions around the frigid zone will be rendered habitabie, and the Arctic ocean, treed from ice, will become she great bighway of the world's commerce.

In the trial, though, of George M. Alsop for the murder of Harrison, some of the old-time interest which used to center around court-bonse affairs has been revived.

Durwhole of last week, while jury was being impaneled and the evidence given, BD unusual number of people attended, and yesterday morning, when the arguments be-' gad, there was not an empty bench or chair, and exery foot of the Judge's rostrum was occupied by people, standing or sitting. A few ladies were scattered through the crowd.

The first presentation of Rudolph Geall's comic opera, See-Cadet," under the English name of "'The Royal Middy," and the reappearance of Emilio Melville and her new California company drew a large audience at the last night.

There Was COnsiderable curiosity concerning the piece and the company, about both of which so much has been said by the press. In the two cities, Boston and Chicago, where their popularity has kept them engaged constantly during he season, the company has received the utmost praise, aud A great deal was expected therefore. Miss Melville's appearance bere several years ago established her as favorite in Louisville, and that she sure of a cordial reception DO one doubted. 'The large audience was due the occasion. The "Royal Middy" more of an opera comique than opera bouffe.

It details the adventures of Fanchette, soubrette of a Paris theater, who baving been compelled to leave the city 3008 Portugal to an old lover, Dun Lamberto, Admiral of the Portuguese fleet, who das meanwaile fallen in love with the Queen, and finds Fanchette unwelcome sarprise. Fanchetle, in order to escape complications, disguises herself as a royal midshipman, and is enrolled. Her identity is preserved from all miral, and the fact gives rise to numberless comic situations, even the Queen falling in love with the bandsome boy. By and by it all comes happily to an end. The music is in the conscientious German comique strain.

having some pretty airs and well arranged choruses and part pieces. It is not sparkling, however, and lacks good deal of being brilliant and taking. So very much bad been promised and 80 very much bad been expected the Melville company that there was probably a degree of disappointment in the result of its appearance in a strange piece. The audience was well pies with the performance in anite of this. and the introduction of the company was successful and cordial.

Miss Melville berself is an accomplished soubrette, baving spirit and grace and life in all she does. Her voice, which was once so pleasing, shows now the signs of wear with bard service, especially in conversation, but she Bang with taste and looked the handsome young middy to the life. Miss Lillie Post, as the Queen, was excellent, and BaDg her selections well, though her voice has 8 shrill ring to it. Miss Elma Delaro. whose voice is generally admired, bad DO opportunity to display it in the slight part undertaken.

The best voice in the company is that of Wallace McCrery, which is a full, sweet and delightful tenor of considerable ranze, and bica be used with excellent effect. Max Freeman as Don Januario, a fabulously rich Brazilian. gave a comedy delineation of unusual merit. He infused a fiery and rapturous barlesque, which was as amusing it was artistic. Tom Casselli Mungo, the darky servant, took the house at times.

The company is well balanced, with no awkward gulls between the abilities of the principles The chorus is stroLg, and would be more effective if more thoroughly drilled. The male chorus, especially has much merit. Misses Lillie and Kittie Valera WOD a deserved encore for their rendition of the duel duet. This evening "Patience" will bo given, with the assurance from the managers that the public have heretofore not seen the opera in comparison with the Melville version. The cast is as follows: ('ol.

This beautifully- mounted scenic play was given at Macauler's last nigh: to A small audience. Durinz engagement last season the drama and its features were referred to at length, and it has changed somewhat since then. The company is not 60 good and elfective as last season, but the wonderfully realistic and beautiful stage pictures are produced with, if possible, more success than before. The scenery is all new and elaborate, and from frat to last it attracts the eye irresistibly. The light-bouse and scene of the first act, with its angry ocean, its real rain, Its ship in distress, and all the effects of shipwreck as witnessed from the shore, WaS triumph of the scenic and spectacular.

The mill scene was very realistic and suggestive. The home scene, in which the famous baby 1s introduced, was a most beautiful and artistic arrangement. Indeed, the scenery of the play is marvel of taste and beauty. The company is weaK. Mr.

Herne, who takes the part of Terry, Was so hoarse last night that he bad to exchange places with Harry Mainball, Ruby, and in consequence the bor was older looking than the man. Mtes Corcoran, who succeeds Genevieve Rogers as Chrystal, was excellent in the part. baby" WaS regular bouncer, played by herself. The interest of the story is not of the most thrilling kind, but it de fair, and the mounting of the play is itself worth the seeing. There will be two more performances.

THE BUCKINGHAM. The largest audience for weeks at the Buckingham greeted Manager aallen's great double bill last night. The house WAS packed, and no more delightful assemblage has occupied the theater for many week. The olio of specialties, which opened the show, introducee a number of good people, among them Bertha Meredith, a popular and pretty vocalist; Keating and Flynn, two excellent song and dance artiste, and Frank Livingstone, a wonderful equilibrist. Miss Georgie Woodthorpe's drama, "Dash, the Girl of the closed the entertainment, and introduced an excellent actress.

The play is sonsational and characteristic, mixture of the fun of and: the romance of Danites." But it does pot imitate them. Miss Woodthorde is really an tress of power and traiolog, and in the last act her simulation of insanity kept the house as silent as the grave, it was so thrilling. She is supported well, and she alternate fun and startling situations kept the house in 8 constant state of applause. AMUSEMENT NOTES. RENTZ-SANTLEY will fill the Buckingham Christmas week.
