In an account of the New England earthquake of November 18 h, 1755, it is remarked that calmness of the air has been offener observed 15 HES Leba, before an earth quake, rather than a cicarmoss. (Phil. Trans. 1757).

Rain.
In Japan it often happens that we have experienced shocks of earthquake at the time of, or after heavy rain, suggesting the idea that ground which had previously been in an un- table condition, by the percalation of meistare, had became sufficiently loosened to give way, or that moisture penetrating to volcanic foci had given rise to an increased volcanic action. The earthquake season of the Philippines (July, Aug. and September) is said to be coincident with that of the rains,
Previous to the earthquake of 1755 at Lisbon, there had been an unusually rainy and wet year, expecially in Portugal Phil. Trans. XLIX. p. 409. It was subsequently observed that earth quakes were felt the most in those districts where there had been no rain. The inhabitants of Jamaica think that earthquakes follow great

as quarter-master on board the steamship Stam, Captain J. F. Messer, appeared before the Magistrata, Mr. Woodward, at Singapore on the 8th fast, charged with importing & quantity of prepared opium valued at $1,200, on board that ressal in Singapore harbour.
Police Superlatendent Newland prosecuted, Mr. Napler watched the case in the interests of the owners of the Slaws, and the accused was un- defended.
Evidence was given as to the finding of 100 tins of optum in the false bottom of the prisoner's bunk; and g tins of opium, and one tin of dross in other parts of the ship. An eplum expert valued each tia at $23.
The accused said he was not the owner of the oplom, He had been asked by a man in Swatow to take the stuff to Bangkok for a remuneration of 25 cents a tin.
The accused having nothing more to say, and the Magistrate being on the point of giving his decision, Mr. Napier said he appeared on beball of the owners of the Stass, who were anxious that the evidence of the officers should be taken to prove that they knew nothing at all about the optura belog on board. He asked his Worship | to take the evidence.
The Magistratu did not think that it was necessary.
Mr. Nipler: The ship is under arrest now. I shall ask your Worship to order ber to be released.
The Court: I do not think I have power to do that. I think that will be after this case. No evidence has been taken against the ship. I think it hardly necessary to take any evidence.
The Court foformed the prisoner that there was nothing but his (prisoner's) word that the oplam was being taken to Bangkok. Even if ruch were so, the law forbade it. Pisoner was convicted of importing optum into the colony. The punishment would be considered ; and the case would stand down till the 9th.
The steamer Normandy left Manlla on the 18th November bound to Stagapers, with a valuable cargo of capra and cigars. She carried * passengers United States Consul Sewall, and Mis. Sewall, and a Japanese arah and, with the excpion of Mrs, Selkers, the captain's wife, and child, there were the only passengers. These were no deck passenger. The ship was light, having only about god tons of carga on board. Everything went well until the night of the 4th December, Then they gradually ranin torougher weather with heavy r. ins and a cross sea, Da the night of the 4th instant they expected to sight the Horsbarsh Light about shortly before mid- night-11.30pm, to be exact. It was pitch dark, the sea was running very bigb, and the wind blow almost lato a gale, dashing the spray over the bridge and making it impossible to sco far ahead. The captain was on watch, and at nearly one o'clock on the morn ing of the 5th instant, he telegraphed to slow down the engicos, and the engines were slowed down. A few Linutes afterwards, the telegraph rang op "full speed" and the euglans had not been at full speed for five minutes when there was a crash and the Normandy was high up on a reef. The seas then cominan,ed to break over her, and about an hour, or RO RILAT wards the captain ordered all hands to take to the boats. There were four boats over thealde.

Immediately after the heary shock which shook Chili on September 26 h, 1879, there was beavy burst of rain (Phil. Trans.

Fogs have sometimes been regarded as associates of earthquakes. The earthquakes of alabria in 1783, according to Arago and A. von Humbolt, most have commenced during the darkest portion of a fog which in June of that year shrouded the whole of Europe together with portions of Asia, Africa and America,
The evening before the Lisbon earthquake, a reddish fog was observed off the monta of the Tagua (Pšík, Trans. XLIX, p. 413),
Winds and Storms.
Storms, especially those, accomonaled with bigh winds, have been observed to be sometimes connected with earthquakes, Mr. E Knipofrg who investigated a long series of the Teklo found that there was a certain synchronisme
At the time of the great Lisbon shock there was a sudden change in the direction of the wind. A somewhat similar phenomenon was observed in Yokohama, at the time of the severe shock of February 22nd, 1880.
The shock which was felt at Florence on August 10th, 1757, was pieceded for many hours, by a very high wind which cessed immediately the shock was over. (Gent Mag. XXVI p. 419), The destructive disturbances which shook Constantinople on September 2nd, 1864,happened darleg a terrific thunder storm. Flasher of the thunder was incessant. (Gans Mag.

Although it may be shows that in many cases earthquake have occurred and some of the atmospheric phenomens which have been men- tioned, it is difficult to see that the two can have any direct connection. As a matter of obsérva- tion it appears that earthquakes occur with all states of the weather. They occur with rain. snow, winds, calms, heat and cold.
