The Heights ot tionas.
The cloud illumination caused by the
electric lights of Detroit and Ypsiianti is
occasionally so well defined in outline, as
seen from tho Ann Arbor observatory,
that it occurred to the director to inau¬
gurate a series of altitude measurements
for the purpose of determining the
heights of all form? of clouds visible at
Ann Arbor after t • ,i.
Tbe central poruou uf Detroit is about
thirty-five miles from the observatory,
while Ypsiianti is only fifty-eight miles
distant. Tho azimuths of the two cities
differ about 30 degs., so that the condi¬
tions for determining the heights of the
upper nnd lower clouds can always be
made favorable when the atmosphere is
sufficiently transparent. When the clouds
are very high, f e Detroit illumination is
so well defined .! the probable error of is
a single measu i ;nt of an altitude
only a few mi:, e. of arc. When the
clouds are low’, tho nearer illumination is
well defined and tho farther one either
Invisible or coincident with the apparent
horizon. The greatest and least heights
recorded up to the present time are re¬
spectively 17,580 and 770 feet.—‘Amer¬
ican Meteorological Journal.
Convenience or tne ieieimun~*
One has to go to other cities in order to
thoroughly appreciate the revolution
brought about by the use of the tele¬
phone. In cities like Cleveland, Detroit
nnd Rochester all the well to do people
havo telephones in their dwellings, and
tho useful instruments are made to servo
instead of letters, visits, and the employ¬
ment of messengers. Tho ladies use
them quite as much in the routine of
household lifo as our down town men do
in business.
After breakfast in the moming'a Is pro¬
vincial lady who has a telephone apt hour to
closet herself with it for a half an
or more, during which time she find*
out what the grocer has that is good to
offer, sends her orders, connects with
the butcher, and tells him what she
wants; rings up her dressmaker and has
a delightful chat over trimmings and
flounces, and then calls upon one after
another in her circle of lady friends, and
gossips with each and all precisely as she
would if she were making a social round
In her carriage later in the day. The
averago New Yorker has scarcely tele¬ any
conception of the usefulness of a
phone as it is employed in other cities.—

The Baseless Fabric of Breams.
When a lady begins to dream dreams
and see visions, look out for her, for
there is no knowing what she will da I
know a young lady who is troubled with
a husband and a year-old baby, with
curly, golden hair. The other night she
had a dream. She dreamt that she was
dressing before the looking glass In the
back parlor. Looking into the front
parlor through the folding doors she be¬
held her husband in much too earnest
conversation with two young ladies. One
of the young ladies seemed greatly in¬
terested in what he was saying and their
chairs gradually drew closer and closer
together till it came to pass that the
watcher on the other side of the folding
doors observed her husband’s arm steal
round tho waist of the young lady.
This was more than the indignant wif#
could stand, and she crept quietly behind
the preoccupied couple and aimed a slap
at the girl which would probably have
lifted her head from her shoulders. So
powerful was it that it knocked the
whole scene completely out The
dreamer awoke, and so did her husband,
and likewise the baby. The gas was
turned up and revealed a very surprised
looking group. The baby was the most
surprised of alL rival The had slap alighted intended full for
the dreamer’s on
tho curly, golden head of her son.—
