Storm Signal Bureau, better known as
"Om Probabilities." A mated ot what
wo saw. we all agreed that the ship
men and others who road the Journal
of Commerce should be told how tho
thing is done. We went np to the

There ore 02 signal stations in the
United States, tho extremo outposts
being Portland (Muino), Key West,
florida, Ualvcston, bau IJiotro, l'ort
land (Oregon) and Dulutli, Each sta
tion is furnished with a bnrometor.
tliermomotor, hygrometer, wind vane,
rnin gunge, ononiometer and a clock.
The barometer ia tho Green's stand
ard, and ia always carefully compared
with the standard in too otlice before
issue for uso. In transporting it, even
carrying It across tho room, it. is
screwed up and borne with the cistern
uppermost. Wliilo in that position it
is not easily Injured ; but when bung
up a suacien jolt mignt send a bubble
of air into the vacuum at the upper
end of the tube, and the instrument
would be useless until repaired. It is
placed in a room of uniform tempera
turo, not heated or too much exposed
to tbo sun. It is sospondod at the
height of tho ere. near a window, in
such manner as to be lighted perfectly
without exposure either to the direct
rays of the sun, or to the current of
air which aro always found at the
window casings and doors. To pro
tect the instrument from external in
juries, dust, and tho direct radiation of
warm bodies or currents ot air from
the windows, tlio wooden cose in
wlncli it ia carried is luslonod firmly
agititiat the wall in a vertical position
near the window, in suoh mannor that
the cover will open in a direction
risrallel to Ino panes. An opening
argo enough to admit the tuba of the
buromolor is made in the upper end
of tho box and it is suspended on a
strong book driven in tho wall. When
not in uso tho cover is kept closed.
When an observation is tuken it is
opened, the instrument drawn out on
the book clear ol the box and in lull
light of the window. Tho observa
tion is taken and the barometer slip
ped buck in the box. . ,
The tliermomotor is bung at height
of the eye, in the open air, facing the
North in such manner that it is al
ways in the shnde. It is placod so as
to avoid tho light reflected from sur
rounding objects, rain, snow and bail.
Reading the Ihcrmometor is done
rapidly and with great care, so that
it may be done with exactness, and
tho working of the instrument may
not bo influenced by the beat of tho
body or lantern.
Ths byffromctor is an instument
usod in determining the degree of
moieipre in the atmosphere. It ia
pl.toti in the same shelter ns the
thermomotcr, and near it. The cistern
is k it supplied with pure walor at
all I Sica, when tho air is abovo the
froetitig point, and the lampwitk on
the vlcl uiilu is t'litingou at tho end ol
each second month and tho bulb care
fully cloanod. When Ihofcmpernture
of iM air ia below the freesing point,
tho viator is emptied from tho cistern
und tiie wet bulb tnoistenod by means
of a istmel'a-liair brush fifteen minutes
befotf the observation is made, or
long Enough to permit tho ice to lorm

Tlit) nnomomoter is an instrument
used to mensnre the foroo and velocity
of tli wind. It is said of General

The California Earthquake.
California newspapers contain vol
uminous dispatches relating to the
earthquake of Tuesday, March 2Glh.
It extended from Red BlutT, in the
northern part of the State, aa far south
a Visalia. ' It seemed to have increas
ed in violence as it moved southward,
and to have reached up the Sierra to
an elevation of throe or four thousand
feet, so that the wholo of the thrco
valleys of Sacramento, San Joaquin
and Tulare were in commotion, and
an area of the State about 000 miles
long nnd 100 broad. The tiro of the
shock followod to the trend of the
Sierra, proceeding from southeast to
northwest, and tho centre of the great
est violence was, a far as wo have
learned yet, near Visalia, In the Tulare
Valley, which lathe bed of a former
lake.
A Visalia dispatch says that up to
Wednesday morning, March 27, fully
1,000 distinct shocks wcro fult. At
Tibbot's Ranch, 15 miles abovo Inde
pendence, 40 acres of ground sunk
about seven feet below the surfuco of
the surrounding country. Big Owen's
Luko ha rison four feel since the first
shock. Owen's River run over its
bank, depositing shoals of fish on tho
shore; afterward it rccoded. For a
distance of three or four miles through
Lone Pino the earth is cracked. One
side remained stationary, wliilo tho
other sank seven or oight feel, leaving
a wall of earth, extending over three
miles in length, whero formerly was a
level plain. Innumerable cracks were
made throughout the valley, tvorn
and Owen's rivors turned and ran up
stream for several minutes, leaving
their beds dry; finally they returned
with largely increased volumes of wa
ter. Some of the shocks wero preced
cd by a deafening report, as though
the mountains wcro being rent in two,
while othors were accompanied by a
low, continuous rumble, a of s train
of cars running underground. None
of the sufltrrors evor experienced any
thing so frighlful in all their earth
quake experience. The most correct
estimate place the number of killed
at loss than 30, wliilo the wounded
will probably foot up 100.
The Visalia I)e,lta of March 28 say
At about 2 12 o'clock on Tusday
morning our people wero frightened
out of bed and propriety by tho occur
rence of ono of tho mosl extraordinary
earthquakes we have over experienced
or reud of, at least in some of its par
liuulnrs. Its duralion was its most
remarkable feature. The wavos of
trouble seemed to come from tho south
west, and they wore so near together
and followodjcach other so unremit.
tingly that ono gentleman assures ns
llml tho first shock lasted 15 or 20
minutes! And he is by no means
alono in this estimate. Ho says he
counted 32 distinct shocks before -1
o'clock. Tho motion was unlike that
of any other we havo felt. Tho great
shakes of 1850 and 1858, as tbey visi
ted San r ranotsco, consisted ot a sort
of rotory motion, as if thing nndor
the surface were being ground togeth
er as by the revolution of mill wheels;
. . . r t. i! j
but mis scorned more as u some aonu
body was being projected against tho
house, the effect being like a series of
bumps. It was accompanied by s
great deal of noise, resembling tho
roar of distant cannonading, and this
nreccded the shocks aa tho flash of a
cannon precedes the sound of its dis
charge? indeed, somolimes the roar
and rumbling wouiu te nearu ananov
bo followod by any shock. Several
palpable quivers wcro noticed through
out Tuesday and J uosdny night as ii
tho internal commotion had been too
severe to admit of porfect restoration
at onco. Many places in tbo bed of
the Pottorsville Sloogh were changed
from drv sand to wet, boggy soil ; in
several instances columns of water
wero lifted in tho air, and sufficient
raised to cover tho bed of the slough,
and make quilo c, stream. Largo
bodies of black soil and dead wood
wero thrown to the surface from con
siderable depths, and in tho hard road
scams were opened for a hundred yards
or so.
