cure perfect immunity from danger, is a
atrisft adherence to what wo know it de
manJrf,a.icihe condition of s-ifety. As the
uual term for thnnder-storms is coming
on. every careful householder, should
. i
that part which project above the roof,
it should be tjL'on down and straightened.
See, also, that the lower seotiou which
goes into the ground ha not rusted off,
as is olteu the ca-.e; and this thorough
.examination should be made every year.
Thundt r-clouds are charged with dif
ferent degrees of intensity, some heavily,
some lightly. Some sweep over the earth
at a greater altitude than others. Those
which hang low discharge their contents,
whether of wnter or electricity, with tbe
jrrtatt energy. All our thunder-storms
with few exceptions, come up from the
nortb-wet. Hence the conductors should
hp nri'Ctod at thop rioint.i of tiio hnildina
t e
with whieh the croud will come in contact.
This is ncoesary, because every thuuder
clotid is surrounded by an electric atsiios
pbro which precedes the cloud itelf.
This may be easily verified by placing
the knuckle to tbe conductor as the cloud
approaches. Spark will frequently be
drawn from it while tbe thundt rtll! rolls
in tht ditaife, showing that the electrical
haze hfls niresdy cnvelope(d the building,
and that tLe rod is silently. condu. titifi the
fiuH into the earth. The rod it" alrca tip

Porson-" o'f the biJhet preten.-iont in their

Near the source of the Shoal Haven
River, at one point, the water was seen
to come rushing down upon the plains,
like a .vast pyxamid. Tbe river rose in a
fow hours one hundred sect. The upland
flats wdre like great lakes. On and. on

... The Eclipse. "
The eclipse of tbe sQ on Wednesday
morniut; of la?t week, took place in pro
cieacao'rdanoe with tbe aatronootical cal
culations heretoforo publishcd, and wai
very generally observed tbroughbitt tho
. rm v my
country. At the point of the greatest ob
seiiratioo, -the. usual glare of 'the sun "slfes
verj perceptibly diminished. The histo
ry of this eclipse is as follows:
Its firat recorded appearance was in the
year -A. D Ood. December Sth.old btyle,
at 10 miuute.i of 1 1 in the morning, when
tbe moon's penumbra just came in con
tact with the -arth at the South pole; it
has appeared every riioeteetb ycar ineo,
aud ateach tbe moon's shadow pasedja
cross he earth from west to east - ajite
further to tbe north at each" return, until
March Rtb; '1644-, 0. S.. when' Wcfiffta
of the a.oonVliadow parsed a littlcJtd tbe
north of the-ea'rtVa ceutre (the moon b-
ins 15 minutes 40 seconds
from the
! scendiug node,-w'hichwas its 33th. period -
ical return.) :
It has eontiuued to appear everv nine-
teentb year since lb44, until this eclipse,
which is its 01st periodical return. Sta
next appearance will" ie 1878, July
at .1 o clock 23:n. in the morning, invisi
ble in the United States. It wiH al?o ap
pear aain lt9G, August 9th. It will
ooutinue to appear every nineteenth year
until tho year April 25th, when tka
moon's shadow will just touch tho earth
at the north pole, which will be its 704h
and la7t appearance, until 'the expiration
of 12,40 years, when it will come on a-
ein atthe outh pole, and uo through a
similar course. The velocity of the moon's
hhadow across the earth during the cclipae
was about 1850 miles an hour, or
four
times the velocity of a oannon ball.
The entertainment of the Japane?e Em
bassy in New York cost the city about
81 10,000. The sum of $30,000 was b
riginally appropriated by the Common
Council; but upon making the arrange
ments; it was found that the amount set
apart did not afford sufficient margin for
the usual "pickings and stealings." Tbe
committee of reception consequentlv took
the responsibility to ''go ahead' regard
less of expense, and trust to luck to get
a tbe bills anally looted.
