THE DAILY NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1889. Notice to Advertisers. Advertisers wishing changes will facilitate business by bringing iu the copy on the evening previous to the tiny on which the fulvertibemeiit is to appear. Please remember this None of the reports from Johnstown dispel the dark and sorrowful picture of death nud woe which for days has drawn all eyes iu the direction of the unparalleled disaster.

The number of deaths may reach 15,000. It is more likely that it will than otherwise. The observer of current events is much like a man who sits at a car window and sees the landscapes and the objects thereon slip by. One picture blends with or blots out smother. One piece of news read yesterday is shoved along by the chief item of the latest day and is lost bight of.

But there are some things not so eafily obliterated. The great and unparalleled disaster in Pennsylvania will not soon be forgotten by those who have comprehended its enormity. The difficulty of editing the news is not appreciated by the readers of newspapers. Any one who should take an unedited sheet, like one of the many-paged journals that are offered public sale on Sundays, and try to reduce it so as to save the wheat and blow away the chaff, would get an insight of the thankless labor of revision and compression. It is true, as a writer in -the Sdlunlfiy JRcvicw observes, "It is much more trouble to write an abstract than an original article.

The remark of Hon. Sam. J. Democrats must get together," which Las been widely quoted by the press, is curiously significant in view of the fact that llandiill has led the opposition iu the only policy his party has manifested during the last administration which in any way distinguished it from the Republican party. This was the Mills bill.

Mr. Randall has no idea of taking up such a measure, therefore his remark is meaningless wants "we Democrats" form on Sam llaudall. The value of industrial education has boon well illustrated at the Hampton (Va.) Normal and Agricultural institute. A fundamental principle of the institution is the instruction of pupils iu ways of earning their own living. The -lOO colored pupils have of late years boon credited with from $45,000 to annually for thoir work on the farm, i) 1 the shops, and in the various branches of household industry.

Not only clous this training iu self-help conduce to 'tho acquirement of skill and the formation of character, but it also exorcises an influence fol' good on tho people thoir own race with whom tho pupils brought into coutnct. Tho "negro problem," of which wo hoar so much, will solve itself if tho work of de- volopmout may bo carried out on this lino and without tho harmful interference ol idealists or politicians. Bishop Potter's sermon which has given him such notoriety, preached and delivered about the time of tho centenary cele- hmtitin in Now York, i very conscientious unsuspecting manner, as probably Jill his discourses are prepared. Jlo was therefore doubtless surprised when he woke up tho next morning to liud that his name was in (ho columns of tho best IIOWH- papors and was iu the mouths of statesmen nud scholars. But it was not those who approved that gave his effort fame, but those who disapproved and denounced il madly.

But such is the road to fume. Vow men ever traversed it who have no! been assailed, slandered, abused and boycotted. Tho Bishop has remained calm and quiet amid the storm of criticism, uoi course unannoyed, but feeling that time largely if not wholly justify him in what he had said. Such discourses stir uj tho class who need it--tho very class people who think no one has a right to criticise them. AVheu such self importance becomes disturbed by popular discussion it has had good effect.

When we read that 40,000 soldiers have deserted from the military service since 1S73 we are prompted to think that some thing is radically wrong with our military establishment Perhajs wot, however The privates complain in justification these desertions, that they enlisted foi TOilitaryservice but in tho majority of iu stances they are required to do laborers "work and perform the duties of domestics Most men who are willing to go into th regular nrmy would naturally object to this.

SNAKE CHARMING. DON'T KISS BABY. It Isn't Your Duty unil You Koully Should Not It. There isn't a bachelor living thut will not 90 pleased when he reads this, a young mother's contribution to the Philadelphia Press: "A Western paper ouco suggested ihat an appropriati. placard to hang around Baby's neck might, read: 'Please don't tiss this and sinco my own little one suffered a winter's sioge with whooping contracted through careless.kiss, been disposed to udvuricu the idea or ts equivalent.

There sei'ins to boa general notion that babies, and in fact uil small children, are public properly, to bo kissed at will by friends or strangers, and while somo uITuclionaio natures may respond will- ugly, there uro many others who would much prefer being let iiloue in this respect. "I know it is tho caso th my two little one of whom possesses an exceedingly loving disposition; but outside of tho immediate family she will not suffer her lips to bo touched, though sho will allow a kiss upon check or forehead from favorite friends. Her more reticent sister showed also a strong avursioti to being kissed, and if forced to submit did so with such a bad grace that 1 was obliged to take matters Into my own hands and beg visitors to excuse her. She would shaue hundsquito readily, and though I am called 'cranky' I still think my plan a good one, and that indiscriminate kissing can scarcely bo too strongly con demncd. A foul breath is as repugnant to a child as to a grown person; sore throats arc contagious, aud many diseases are contracted by contact with the lips." presents.

We moan to have our rules complied with by all. No exception: are made. We call especial attention to the following rules as to to tho hours for sprinkling lawns. No one has any right to use water out of these hours for lawn pur- posos, aud all who do so will bo shut off. Rulo 19 says: "Hose for lawn sprinkling must be used between the hours of 5 and p.m." Those hours were agreed upon by tho Company aud City Council, and will be enforced.

All users of water signed an agreement to observe our rules, aud if they do so we will not complain. THE SALEM WATER COMPANY. NOTICE. For rent or sale.

C. BOOXE. U. A. Hilzcn, iu discussing the subject in the St.

Louis Globe-Democrat, states that the theory was advanced by Espy in' 18B5 that tho energy of our storms and tornadoes was entirely due to tho latent heat set free the condensation of the aqueous vapor air. Ho supposed thut a primary impulse A as given to an ascending current by the icat of the sun falling upon a certain limited xrtion of the earth.and that saturated air in his ascending current, through expansion and cooling, hud its moisture coudensed. I'his condeusaiion liberated the latent heat stored up through the process of evaporation, and this in turn heated up the air, producing a rarefaction and an increased upward motion. Tho lonzer thi 1 process went on the more intense tae action became, the more heat evolved, and thus more and more force was evolved. Prof.

Ferrel adopted this view in part, and said that without the action of some constant force primary impulse wouid rapidly lose its through Iriction. and thus the disturbance wouldjqulckly come to an end. This constant force he maintained was the heat- ng of the air through condensation, as set forth by Espy. Prof, lloiin, one of the most prominent meteorologists of Europe, las gone still further, and has computed amount of energy brought out in developing a single Cuban hurricane during Octobers, 6, He says: "The Cuban mrricaue, in moving the in-flowing air, developed at least 473,500,000 horse-power in three days--that is, at least fifteen times as much energy sis comes from all wind mills, water wheels, steam engines, man and animal power of the whole earth at the same time." He states all this power needed iu the storm generation came from latent heat set free the process of condensation. This, then, must be considered the chief corner-stone of theories in regard to storm formation.

It seems exceedingly probable, however, thut this enormous development Df energy is purely and highly imaginary, and that it is atiempt to make something out of next to nothing. While undoubtedly latent heat will be evolved if vapor be condensed, yet this evolution would seem to bring certain death to the very process of sonUensation. Suppose we have a mass of air aud could condense its moisture without altering its temperature, the latent heat set tree would make just enough sensible heat to again evaporate the moisture, and there would be no rain, but every thing would remain in statu quo. Suppose, however, we take away euouirh heat to cool the air 10 degrees for each cubic foot, this would amount to the heat necessary to evaporate one- seventh of a grain of moisture and must be taken in part at least from the surrounding air. If we cool the air 1 degree it will condense a certain amount of moisture, de- pendlngupon the teaperature, and this will liberate exactly the same amount of heat that was used in the original evaporation.

In order to absorb this bout it is necessary to cool the condensing air, and this can only be done by imparting still more heattothe surrou'idirnr air, so that we have increased the temperature of the environment in two ways, and thus have put a stop to all further development. For example, lot us cool a cubic foot of saturated air from t0 to 79 degrees, and let us suppose tluit tho heat imparted to the surrounding air is all concentrated in a single cubic foot close by tho first. We now have 1 cubic foot of saturated air at 79 degrees and another of uusaturated air at about 81 degrees. The coolingto 79 degrees has condensed one-third grain of moisture, and this lias liberated latent heat which can be disposed or only by heating the adjacent cubic foot to 2,3 degrees. We have, then, if there is no Haw in the reasoning, one-third grain of moisture as rainfall, 1 cubic foot ol saturated air at 79 degrees and another of unsaturated air at 83.58.

Suppose we mix these, wo shall have 2 cubic feet of air at about 81 degrees and unsaturated, bence no further rainfall can occur till this is again cooled, and it can not be cooled except at tuo expense of tho surrounding air. It is plain that this will be the effect even with the most infinitesimal cooling and condensation, hence wo must conclude that no ap- appreciable rainfall can occur by these processes, and the enormous energy developed Is a llgmcnt of the imagination, or else that the heat evolved has been changed to electricity or radiated into space or disposed of some other way. The processes herein set forth scorn to be exactly analagous to those taking place when two masses of saturated air or widely-differing temperature are mixed together, in which case all meteorologists are agreed there can be no appreciable rainfall, and, of course, no development of energy. This seems a very startling result, and some will ask: What can we substitute as a cause of storms? It is believed by a great many intelligent people that meteorology has not yet taken its first step toward a satisfactory solution of its profoundest problems, and there has been scarcely a well- authenticated principle established even in tho simpler problems. We may well conclude that the principal reason for this has been the extreme pronencss to adopt doubtful hypothesis, which bas greatly hampered investigation.

One of the first steps is to disprove those theories before we can lay the' foundation of a better structure. The only possible way in which we can hope to learn the formation of our storms and the laws governing their movement is to investigate them iu the opcu air, where, as it is now admitted by all, their power lies. Tuis knowledge, it will be readilyadmitted, would be of incalculable benefit to all classes of people, but especially to those living in tornado districts, to seafaring men and to farmers. It is to be hoped that those interested will turn their attention to this subject, but if not, in this evening of the nineteenth century there will undoubtedly soon be a demand from many classes of people that tho investigation be undertaken. Witli our modern appliances this may be made at very slight expense and with entire safety to the investigator.

"Why, how's this, Mr. Casherel" asked Penny wait, who had just returned to town after'two weeks' absence. ''When I left, the great volume of travel rras on the soutb side of your business street, and now that side is almost deserted and the north side is thronged with pedestrians.

What has ef. fected the "The cfowd," explained Mr. Cashere, "was only diverted to the north side about an hour ago, aud will not last long. A new building is going up down at the corner, and a stone weighing nearly a tou been left suspended fifteen leet in the air directly ever the sidewalk, owing to an accident to the derrick, and not less than two hundred persons have passed under it within the last fifteen minutes.

Three different incidents of snakes charming have fallen under my own observation, writes New Madrid (Mo.) correspondent of the St. Louis Republic.

Once 1 saw a bluejay charmed by vvuat is commonly known as the "blue" racer" snake. The next instance was a redoird charmed by a ''blue racer," and the next was a. "catbird" charmed by a "cow-sucker." As these snakes are classed as non-poisonous, they could not have bitten the birds and then quietly awaited their death, some very learned gentleman has stated in your paper. la the first case the bird was in an apple tree, some ten or twelve feat from the ground, when its attention was first arrested. The other two were somewhat under the influence of the snake'scharm when first observed.

I would judge that it takes from one to hours for a snake to bring a bird completely under the spell, which they can most certainly do if not disturbed after the bird's attention is once gained. 1 have never seen a suake charm a frog, hough I have seen them catch rogs often. They are more than a match for tho frogs a foot race; consequently they have frog egs to eat whenever they wish, provided frogs can be found. The greatest trouble to swallow the frog after catching him. The frog is swallowed heels first.

Whether this is a preference on the part of the snako or whether it is because this is first part overtaken and laid hold of, I do not know. When caught the xior frog cries out in the most pitiful ter- Then the struggle of life and death with determined animal instinct on the part of the snake; nay, I might say with devilish triumph-- for he knows that victory sure in the end-- and almost human horror on the frog's part. The instant a snake seizes a hind leg it is swallowed, and the hard part of the job is to get hold of the other leg without releasing the one le already bas. The frog soon finds it use- ess to struggle to release the leg already swallowed by the snake, and seems to realize that its only hope is to keep the leg is free out of that horrible mouth which has such wonderful suction power. once saw a garter snake push a frog over thirty yards endeavoring to force the leg of the frog that was free against some obstruction, that it might get a hold upon that also.

It finally succeeded, and the strug- ele was soon over that. When both lind legs are once iu the snake's power a deeper horror secrr.s to tul.j of poor little creat-ire who hns battled so iiard for life; wi'-h, terror and assume a body is stupefied, -iiu an awl'ui dread of its impending jale. Tiie snake dues not swallow, it crawls over its prey. Il does so by means of strongly contracting muscles in the throat. BROUGHT TO TIME.

A Scene Tliat as Dramatic as It Enjoyable. Never did the heroine of a play receive such sympathy ram her spectators as was accorded the leading lady of a little scene enacted at a hotel one recent evening, says the Detroit Commercial Advertiser. During the afternoon an attractive couple entered the hotel. The young man was about twenty-five years oC age. Ho appeared out of place in the hostelry.

Tho most showy feature of his attire was luiyc white necktie. The young lady was laller and more portly than her curr.tianion and possessed a very ruddy connexion. To a casual observer it was evident that both were from tho country aud that they wereabout to Uiku part in mi event of great importance to them. The young man approached the clerk and said ho wanted to register "Fred Hastings and friend." Mr. Clerk dipped his pen in ink when his guest exclaimed: '-Ilold on, you needn't write that.

You wait an hour and I'll write that different." He ordered a cab and drove to the house of a preacher, re.urning in about an hour. "Now I'll register," ho said, as he smiled broadly, and wrote "Fred Hastings and Wife" with a big W. The newly-married gentleman then joined Mrs. Hastings in the reception-room. He was not seen again until 0 o'clock, when he skated across the rotunda like a man on rollers.

He was brimful of happiness combined with other good things. It seems that he had surreptitiously crooked his elbow many times during the afternoon and the last "geeser" was telling. Standing in the center of the rotunda he pullod a large wad of money from his in- sido pocket and declared ho intended to "blow 1 it all in. This was Mrs. Easting's cue, aud she emerged from the rcception- and walked straight to her hubby.

In KJUCO she gazed fiercely at him for a few seconds. The spectators, and there wore many, looki-tl on and wondered. The suspense was broken by the loading lady, who, with a swoop, grabbed her bad-acting husband by the arm. on," she ordered. "You are married now and you can't cut up any monkey shines with me." Meekly he followed the "man of the house' 1 to the elevator, and they were soon lost to sight.

The scene was intensely dramatic and hugely enjoyed. FOOLED HIS BISHOP. How a Clergyman Took Advantage ot Spiritual Superior. A good story is told of one of the most popular clergymen in a city not one hundred miles from Brooklyn. He is a pleasant, genial man, and on a certain evening in every week a few of his brother priests meet at the rectory and they spend together an hour or two in a social way.

Some curnrad.cson in the neighborhood, happening- to get a glimpse through the blinds ut a buUio aud glasses and the smoke of cigars and tc hear the sounds of cheerful laughter, though it behooved him to let the Bishop know what was goir.g on. Thereupon he wrote to that distinguished functionary, of course greatly; exaggerating what he had seen and heard. The worthy priest got wind of this in some mysterious way and was on his guard. One night while he and his friends were enjoying themselve a ring came to the door. Going up-stairs to the second floor the goo3 father saw a brougham of familiar builil standing outside.

Kaisinsr the window he looked down and discovered the Bishop on the stoop. "Who's there!" he asked. "It's I. the Bishop," was the reply. "Oh.

so alons! Your an impostor," said the priest- "The Bishop is a decent gentleman, and would never be roaming aroxinc the streets at this time of night. Be ol with you at once, or I'll call for the police and have you taken ID as a suspicious character." With that he banged down the window and went back to bis friends. The Bishop paid no more late visits to the rectory, and the pleasant weekly symposium continued. A North Carolina Heroine. In Lenoir, S.
