Y.) Signal, June 30. 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.— New York Sun. 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.— Brooklyn Eagle. SMOKE !
