MAJOR DE MONTESSUS DE BALORE, after years of labor, has drawn up a catalogue of 130,000 shocks, of which trustworthy details have been procured, and this indicates with some scientific accuracy how the symptoms of seismic activity are manifested over the earth's surface. The period of observation includes generally the last fifty years; but there is no reason to suppose that a longer time would materially affect the proportionate numbers. The appended figures, drawn from M. de Montessus sstatistics, will give an idea of the general result: The most shaken countries of the world are Italy, Japan, Greece, South America (the Pacific coast), Java, Sicily, and Asta Minor. The lands most free from these convulsions are Africa. Australia, Russia, Siberia, Scandinavia, and Canada. As a rule, where earthquakes are most frequent they are most severe. But to this general statement there are exceptions-Indian shocks, though less numerous, being often very disastrous, Loss of lite in many cases depends, however, on density of population rather than on the intensity of the earth movement. Numerically, also, France has registered more seismic tremors than Spain and Portugal, but France in historic times has experienced no earthquake disaster approaching the navoc wrought by the one calamity at Lisbon, A FALLING BAROMETER. A rapid fail indicates stormy weather. A rapid fall with westerly wind indicates stormy weather from the northward. A fall with a northerly wind indicates storm, with rain and hail in Summer, and snow in Winter A fall with increased moisture in the air, and heat increasing, indicates wind and rain from the southward. A tail with dry air and cold increasing in Winter indicates snow. A tall alter very calm and warm weather indicates rain with squally weather. mar, 76 95 203 72 90 194 68 85 185 63.1 78.9 174 60 75 167 Alcohol Boils. 56 ΤΟ 158 The parometer rises for northerly winds, including from northwest by north to the eastward for dry, or less wet weather, for less wind, or for more than one of these changes, except on a few occasions. when rain, nail, or snow comes from the northward with strong wind. The barometer falls for southerly wind, including from southeast by south to the westward, for wet weather, for stronger wind or for more than one of these changes, except on a few occasions. when moderate wind, with rain or snow, comes from the northward. FREEZES. The above printed rules are in use by the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club of New York. DURATION OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF WEATHER IN THE SEVERAL SUNSET COLORS.-A gray, lowering sunset, or one where the sky is green or yellowishgreen, indicates rain. A red sunrise, with clouds lowering later in the morning, also indicates rain. HALO (SUN DOGS).-By halo we mean the large circles, or parts of circles, about the sun or moon. A halo occurring atter fine weather indicates a storm. moon. CORONA.-By this term we mean the small colored circles frequently seen around the sun or A corona growing smaller indicates rain; growing larger, fair weather. RAINBOWS.-A morning rainbow is regarded as a sign of rain; an evening rainbow of fair SKY COLOR. - A deep-blue color of the sky, even when seen through clouds, indicates fair weather; a growing whiteness, an approaching storm. weather. FOGS. - Fogs indicate settled weather. A morning fog usually breaks away before noon. VISIBILITY. -Unusual clearness of the atmosphere, unusual brightness or twinkling of the stars Tadicate rain. FROST.-The first frost and last frost are usually preceded by a temperature very much above the mean. OBJECTS VISIBLE AT SEA-LEVEL IN CLEAR WEATHER.
