Why Everything Moves Towards the Right. 3 3 1 E. i The interesting pendulum experiment in the Exposttion building furishes a direct 2nd un- pistaksblo proof that the carth rotates. Grand- {s gimple in its construction and mosement, that ball of lead tells tho story of world.motion with s mute cloquenco which cannot be equaled by tho most fervid utterances of a highly gifted orator. But the simple pendulum is far from peing the only demonstrator of the truth on hich, 88 o phyeicsl axiom, are built up most of tho exterior phenomena of our material ex- istence. The movements of the atmosphero are at e effects and proofs of tho fact {uat the earth turns on her axis daily. Joho Tadicy stated nearly s century and 3 half ago (3785), that tho trade winds of the tropics are duo to the heating power of tho fun ond the eartl’s rotation. Butitis onlya 4 fow yoars since it waa discovercd that, tlo stmos- - plerio movements at evory point on tho carth's surface are duc to the operation of the same eauses, combined with minor ones, THE TRADE WINDS. The hesting effect of the sun's ravs is test at those places to which he is overhead at npoon. The air above thoso places becomes beated by radiation {from o earth, increaces in volume in consequence, and rises _to the upper xegions of the atmos- phere. Tho area of greatest heat and rarefac- Tion follows the sun’s apparent motion from ast to weet, on a circlo of latitudo correspond- fng to the edn's declination. Tho air from tho porth and south of this line moves towards it 1 restoro the cquilibrium of pressure, is hoated - fnits turn, and carried upward ; 1ts placo being gupplied by other air that comes from points pearer tho poles. ‘A current is thus established from every direc- tion towards the rapidly shiftiug area over which tho sun is vertical. Lut each particle of this current was originally moving eastward with the Selocity of that point on_the surtace over which it wae at relative rest. The TATE OF TIfIS EASTWWALD MOVEMENT is only changed glowly by mingling with other Yolumes of mir, or friction with the surface. Tlence, agit approaclies the equator, whero the esstward velocity of the surface is greater, tho gir lags behind, just as the pendulum falls back on tha circumference of our circle on the floor. This relative westward movement, compounded Sith that fowards the placo of tho sun, causcs the air that proceeds from the morth to blow fowardstno southwest; and that which procceds from the south blows towards ihe northwest. The regulwity’ of the trade-wind system is gomewhat interfered with by the fact that laud sad water are not equally heated by o similar oxposuro ‘o the solar rava, and also Ly tho shifting back ond forth of the middle lino between the tropics. In mid- gummer and midwinter tho wind betweeh the placo of the sun and the equator travels east- ard more rapidly than the suriace over which it blowe. OUR_PREVAILING WINDS. The air that iscarried up under the place of {he sun (in the belt of equatorial calms) flows over in ihe upper Tegions of the atmosphere; 2nd turns towards the poles, descending to the furface 08 it becomes cooled. It has gradually acquired the equatorial velocity by moving in the regions mear tho equator, and hence moves east- ward more rapidly than the surface over which it blows as it proceeds towards the pole. Hence, the prevailing motion of the air in the United States, and the whole of the North Temperate Zone, is from the south- west to the northeast. It is from northwest to southeast in the South Temperate Zone. STORMS ~ 70 cansed by interruptions in the regularity of {lio movements above noted. Owing to the in- torposition of clouds, the sun's Tays may warm & portion of tho eartn's surfaco mare thin tho surrounding region, and the air that is above it siges, The swrousnding air then moves towards the partial vacuum, to restore the pressure. Bittheo i good reason to believa that our rincipal storms are tho immediate resuls of cold. A volume of air, that contains 2 considersblo quantity of the vapor of water in suspension, is_moving in obedience to the law alrcady noted. In passing over the cold top of & mountsin it ‘becomes sud- enly chilled, and its_capacity for sustaining va- por is greatly reduced in consequence, “Its va- Jor is condensed, and falls a8 rain or snow. The ressure of the air at that place is thus lessencd v tifo woight of the deposited moisture, and the air is further reduced in volume by tho cold, e bave then an ‘‘area of low barometer.” which moves eastward, or northeastward, as the air volwne was moving before it enconntersd the wountain, and the mir from all around this “area ™ moves towards it to fill the partial void. TThe storms of this region originete in the Rocky Hountaine, and, doubtlese, in this way. TILE CICLONE. The rotation of the carth csuses the wind to blow around the area of low barometer instead of directly towaras it. 'The reason for this phe- nomenon is apparent from a glauce ab the ac- companying dirTram ———————————————— s 0 ’wm“‘m-mw-mwu. OPRRa / 1 1 1 ' H 1 1 1 i i / sif Bt Let.

If it be in the Northern Hemisphere, the lengths of the horizontal arrowsat N and S indicato the rela- s tive velocity with which the earth’s rotation car- “vic tho air easiward at placos s few scoro “miles north and south from C. Thena vol- wae of air at N tends to _move eastward with its original velogity while drawn south- + ward over a surfaco which bas a greator castward motion. Hence it drags belind, and takes the direction of_the arrow from X to a point between Cand W, For the sawe reason the oastward velocity at § being greater than that atC, the 8ir proceeding from S moves to 8 poiut in ad- vancoof O, In like manueritcan be shown that the air from every direction around C moves i the mght from the line of the original impulse. the tendency being_grestest wleu tho angle ith the meridian is the least. Hence the wind Blows to the right of the storm-centro; and tho Tesulting_ fact is that it blows from every pojat around the centro of the storm. in o direction contrary to that in wlich the Landsof & watch move when its face is placed upward. . This is the cyclone (Greok, cyelos, 8 circle) which often continues while the storm-centro, 34C, moves castward over a considerable part of tho eartl's circumference. The theoretical cir- A, dle generally becomes s very irregular ellipse, however, for several reasons. he wind at tome polnts may be deflected by hills in its poth, i8 more ratarded in passing over laud than water, or the temperature may be considerably modi- fod in passing over o city, from water to land, of therevorse.

F EVERYTHING MOVES TO THE RIGHT. For the samo resson as that which deter- Dives tho crclone movement in .storms, %y maes of matter in, rapid motion ads to move to tho right.

CoLBERT. LOCAL MISCELLANY. GERALD MASSEY ON SHAESPEARE. Grow's Opers-House was moderstely filled Iast ovening by an audience who were attentive listeners.to Gerald Massey's lecture on * Bhak- speare.” As Mr. Massey has devoted many years to the study and analyais of the great su- thor's works and character, and bas published a volume giving his conclusions, the oxcerpts ‘made below aro but little indication of the inter- est and value of the facts, both new and old, which he dotailed in & rapidly-spoken effort of an hour. The lecturer begen-by saying that in the con- stellation of brilllaut ‘men who lived in tuo Elizabethan ers, none are remembered as is William Shakspesre, of whom Thackeray had emd that he wisfied that he could have blacked his boots that he might have looked into bis faco, Of his history little was known except that he was born at Stratford, went to London to live, and returned to pass bis latter days in his birthplace. That Shakspearc’s family must have beenin indigent circumstances was wit- nossed by the fact that in 1539 his father was fined four pence for mot Leeping his gutter clean. He sgocmed to have been a man who knmow everything. Doctors would say that ho know medicine. Lawyers he was full of law. Another claimed him as a sailor, and avother as _butcher from resding those famuliar lines, *‘Thersisa divinity that shapes cur euds, rough hew them a8 we will," saying that ho afluded therein to the skewers used at tho time. Ono wondered how Shaks- peare took the first glimpse of thodramatic ~ision which was to become his life's study. In 1675, whon he wns & bdy of 11 years, the pleas- ures'at Kenilworth Castlo weré oo _foot, and in the * Midsummer Night's Dream " he showed, by certain aliusions, that ho was present. It wae thought by some that Shakspearo mar- ried hastily. = Grant White became perfectly vixenich about this great mistake, as he termed it. As his wifo begged to be laid in the same grave With tho speaker did not believo his mar- ricd life \ras nnhappy. Another tradition said ho bnd to leavo Stratford becsuse of the deer scrape, but as his own desr prosented him with twins about that time, it was more probable he had to find o larger field for action to support his growing fumily, Two years after going to Loudon his father was sont to prison for debt hicl arguod that he was then poor. In 1598 Lo was able to buy ono of the best houses in Stratford, and bsd a shere in the Globe Theatrs. Tfe probably left tho stagé in 1595, and in 1616 Le died. ) Many that were now namoless wero set sbove Shakspearo in his lifetime, and wore envious of him. Green called him *‘sn upstart- crow.” Harvey praised him; Marston, in the lincs, @A mon, o map, & Kingdom for s man,” parodied " bim; old Jobn Davis, who wrote the epigram of deer-stealing, com- plained that eome pluywright had put bim Yo shame. Shakspearo certainly retalinted, for this man was pilloriéd os Malvolio in *¢ Twelfth Night." Davis was a Puritan, _*The dovil was such s Paritan,” was said of Malvolio. The lecturer then drew some subtls anslo- gies, showing_that Essex was tho study for 1lamlet, and Francis Bacon for Horatio. ] have I heard aud do in part beliove.” The read- ing of the passage in “ Hamlet ” which refers to two eclipses was oxplainod. the speaker stating that he bad found it necessary’ to havo he ae- tronomers at Groensvich trace it bak, and they Dbad discovered that in 1598 thoro was a total cclipse of the moon in February, sud in the March following the sun was darkened. Shakspearo was ot o moody, Hamlet sort_of 2 man, as the Germars thought, but his art was Jedicated rather to joy; his early poems, writ- ten in tho hey-day of yonth, showed that his de- Tighted spirit was in tho fust love_of life. ~Ho was o thorough Englishman. He loved the birds and flowers, zud had expressed their very apirit. He could be charecterized as a mild, majestic man. A beautiful picture was then drawn of tho latter days of the great bard, waitiog for tho suuset of his life. Some have said that ho had Qied of & drinking bout, but ho a1 Do trace of delirium tremens in his lnst signatnre. His life was rounded out as he had lived, and ho paesed away suddeoly as if bis task wero done, snd there was no need to linger. An analogy of his epmitasl coudition was then drawn, and tho leo- ture conciuded with s fine poetic peroration. e MAD DOGS REPORTED. About 8 o'clock yesterday morning s man in a high stato of cxcitement rushed into tho Eloventh Precinct Station and reported that s dog, supposed to be mad, was scouring tho northern portion of tho city, and had bitten a number of unfortunates. Officer Mamoron was dispatehed to the scene, and, sscertaining that o pointer was in Star strect, be hurried to that locality, and camo up with tho brute in a short time. Ho wounded it, but not fatally. He was joined mear the corner of Star and Sedgwick strects by Officers Weber and Lee, and the threo continmed tho pursuit. The dog reached his first resting-place on tho prairie west of Clybonrne avenuo; but when tho ofticora catne in sight, he started again. After elnding overy effort of the oflicers_ to head bim off, ho finally took refuge under a bed in the houte of & man named Matts, living st No.19 Hincho gtreet, where he was killed. The following- named persons were bittes 3. Vanderburg, Living at No. 23 Star street, in the lip. 11 Tt < Margaret Motars, a young girl living at No. 83 Star street, in the arm. ‘Herman Standor, at No. 28 Star street, aleo in the arm. . Mathiss Grosen, at the same number, in the leg, y > {targaret Komp, at No. 567 Sedgwick street, in the shoulder. Terthold Ludes, No. 616 Sedgwick streot, in tho arm. 1 " Berthan Foclker, No. 24 Langdon street, in ‘the lip. Cl::%en Peters, No. 6 Fremont street, in the arm. . Two more persons wero bitten, but their names could not be ascertzined; also a namber of dogs, two of which have been ehot, and ef- forts are making to discover and kill the others. Later in the day o second dog, reported to be suffering from the same discage, Jm!aed through the Tenth Precinct, and attacked the following persons : 3 William Beheidler, o TRIDUNE carrier, living at No. 39 Clybourn avenue; Frank Bsier, at No. 350 Orchard stroet; John Rhodes, 86 illow strect ; and Harry Wengler, at No. 444 Hurlburt gtreet. In this instance upward of a dozen dogs ‘wero suapped at, oad, as it was feared that they Tiad been inoculated, 'were kKilled by the police. Tho victima were promptly attended to by physi- ians, and, though some apprehensions are felt, {t is highly probable thut the reported madness or the dogs will turn out to be a mistake. pEi iy CRIMINAL. J. B. Condon, confiding in the integrity of Gus Beausis, deposited a Watch with that individua sevaral weeks 5go, ompowering him to negotiate its salo, and, after deducting & tiberal commis- sion, make due return of the proceeds. Gustavns failed to comply with the terms o2 the contract, and languiebes at the Union Street Station until Justico Scully can determino the punishmeni to ‘be meted out to him. ‘At 8 o'clock Thursday evening, some unknown burglars tried to enter tho store of Brown, Page & Fisk, at No. 163 Wabash avenue, through the front door. ‘The noigo caused by’ breaking the glass attracted tbe attention of the police, and Fhoy reached thero in timo to jfoil the thieves. ‘No arrests woro made The body of & boy named Joge] h Derschmidt w58 discoverod about 7 o'clock, Thursdsy cven= ing, hnnging from o beam in the stable as the g of No. 551 South Clark streot. The resi- Tets of that house, who it is stated are the onts of the deceased, Tefused to give any infor- mation concerning bim, or bis death. “Officer Rivley, of the Fiftn Precinct, incidentally beard of the tragedy, and by dint of hard work ascer- tained the fact of his snicide, and notified the Coroner. Tho inquest was held by Deputy GO her Pilgrim, and o verdict of death by sui- s rendered. He was 17 yoars of sgo, given Over to drink and other bad habits, snd. it is posed that ho took his life while laboring B 5 &t of mental depression. TUBTH . CE 0OURTS. Patrick Mcdalon, an employe in s West Side saloon, was Eent, by his master Thursdas to buy warth J .,:u, He mot & frisnd and e e spent the money in treating bim twice. Fear- ing to go back without the coal, aad omboldenyed by the liquor he had _drank, he coolly drovo into a’ conl-yard, filled his truck, aud moved away. The proprietor objected, however, and had the man arrested. Justice Scully thought, vesterday morning, that a 910 fine was about the right punishment to mete out in the case, aad, in de- fonlt of payment, the sudacious thief went to the Bridewell. A girl named Kate Riley was carrying a revolv- er to the residence of her brother on Paulina street yesterdsy morning, when she was met by William Learnard, who wrested the toy from her hand-and ran off with it. Tho prigoner, who was subsquently arrested, appeared before Jus- tica Scully yestorday morniug, who romauded him unti onday morning, under bonds of A horrible case of eruelty came up before Jus- tico Boyden st the South Side Polico Court yes- terday morning, in which Michael Nelson was charged with disorderly conduct. It appears that Nelson owed & grudge to his neighbor, Jobn Mengher, and, to gratify his desire for revenge, o hit upon a plan which for novelty and brutal- ity can hardly be excolled. He coaxed a large Nowfoundland dog of Meagher's into the yard of tho latter, saturated it with coal-oil, and set it on fire. The unfortunate animal, howling with pain, rushed, a5 Nelson bad hoped, into Meagh- er's barn, which was filled with furniture and other iuflammeable matter. Tho Meaghers heard the nowe ond rushed out, and ona of them caught tho burnicg dog and plunged it iuto & barrel of water which happened to be close at haud, saving the poor brute’s life. The author of the mischief was seen by the Menghors climbing tho fence, the ligat caused by tho buen- iug dog putting to flight tha darknces under the ‘cover of which Nelson had hoped to accomplish his atrocious sct. The Justico continued the caso until the 25th inst. A warrant was yesterday talen out et tho West Bide Polico Court for tho Arrestof Charles John- son on a charge of cutting a boy nomed William Hildebrand. The partics procuring tho warrant stated that Hildebrand was driving & wagon along Indiana strect, between Halsted sud Union, when Johnson and some others tried to startlo the horeo and make it run sway. Hilde- brand jumped off the wagon snd chased his persccutors, when Johnson turned round and stabbed him with a pockot-knifo in tho left arm, sovering an artery., Hildebrand bled profusely, 2nd was in & very 1ow condition by the timo thio doctor succeeded in stopping tho hemorrhage. Trank Rico, who onco filled tho rosponsible position of Turnkey in tho jail, was brought bo- fore Justice Boyden yesterday morning charged with having stolen & humbor of books from the library of tho Rey. Dr. D. R. Davis, No. 43 Coutrg avenue. It appeared that during the day he had made frantic but unsuccoesful sitempts to sell some of the books to many of tle leading citizens, He Lad offered Mark Sheridsn a morocco-bound set, complete in five volumes, of Dortons’ * Evidences of Christianity” for 50 conta s volume ; bad tendered Conrad Folz a Doautiful edition of “Pilgrims’ Progross "; had tried to dispose to Wilbur Storey s **Commontary on tho Third Commandment,” but in vain, and, after innumerablo other failures, he succcode in gotting arrested on a charge of larceny and lockod mp in the Armory. ‘Tho Justice remanded the prisoner in order to socure the presonco at Court this morning, a8 witnesses, of the threo sbove-named gentlemen. Stephen Wilson's barber shop, on Madison street, was yosterday aftcrnoon thio scene of ex- citemeént, whic thraw the whole viciaity into an uproar. 'For somo wecks past Mrs. Wilson s boen jenlons of ber busband, whom se sus- pecied of paying too much _sttention to a friend of the family, Nora Humphrey by name.

The members of the Police force, together with the Fire Department, will reccivo their pay for the wonth of January to-day. Tho receipts for taxes in the City Collector's office yesterday approximated to £10,000. Thd trouble concerning the Sccretaryship of the Board of Public Works scems to havo been amicably settled. The present incumbent is there to stay. The Canal Commissiofers met {the Members of tho Board of Public Works yesterday after- noon for the purposs of considering complaints ‘mado by the residents along the South Branch of tho Chicago River. The Commissioners wore oxamined by the members of the Boerd and tho Mayor, who was present, and many facts concorniug tho opera- tion and dredging of the canal were brought out, which are, however, of no parsicular im- ortance to the public, The object of the meet- Thg was specially to sscertain by what means tho canal could bo used to drain the Chicago iver. Tho first drainage was made when the canal was low and water in the lake high. But Bow tho water in Lake Michigan is low, and the water from tho Desplaines liiver runs via the west fork into tho drainago of tha South Branch. The water in the caual, twenty-cight inches be- Jow the surface, is comparatively pure, bat whon tho South Dranch was dramed into it, cats, dogs, etc., were gathered at the Lockport Lock. Tho Bosrd, with the Commissioners, tho Mayor, and soveral invited guests, will visit the cangl at an early day to examino further into its condition. FIRE ALARME. The following important additions to the fire alarm system now inuso_in this ity havo lately been made, and Wednesday an order was sont Lo the diferont engine-houses by the Fire Marshal, giving notice of tho samo : Pirst Alarm—The number of the box from which the alarm 18 given etruck three (3) times on all the gongs and belis, Second Alarm—Two eleven (211) followed by the number of tlo box. Struck once. "Third Alarm—Three eloven (3 11) followed by tho Dumber of the box. Btruck onee, Second and Third Alarms Combined—Four eleven (1) followed by the number of the boxr. Struck twice. . General Alarm—Six eleven (G 11). Struck thros times, To this call tho entire department will reapond. © Call for Hook snd Ladder Company—Eleven (1) ‘blows, followed by the number of the truck company wanted ot the firo; thus: 11 2—H. and L. 2 will respond. Firo Out—One blow on all the gongs and bells, If thiero should Le a second cr third tire at the same fime, the signal will be two blows or throe biows, aa the case may be, to indicate which fire i3 out. Officcrs commanding compantes will be particular in case of two or threo ularms following rapidly, naless the mignal “firo 13 out” is struck, to cover districts wiere other compenics have gono to fires which they run to on second and tiird alarma., RAFFERTY. A rumor must bavo been circulated in Bridge- port, yesterday morning, that Rafferty was to bo taken'to Waukegan, for from 10_o'clock until after 1, nearly 300 men sarrounded the East end of the County Jail, expecting to seo tbe mur- derer brought ous, and driven sway in a hack. The countenances of the majority of them wero rough, and it is probable if Rafferty had made his appearance an attempt would have been made to reseuo him. The crowd was €0 persist- ent in hanging around the eBtrance, sud in pushing into _ the room - occvpied by the cputy _Sheriffs that two officers 1ad to be pliced at the door tb prevent their in- gress, Thoro being no chanco of sceing the condemned man, and it becoming apparent to them that Rafferty was not to leave the fail, the mob dispersed aboutl o'clock evidently dis- leased. Rafferty scems to be reconciled to his impending fate, having. apparently, no hopo of a commutation. He does not refer in sny way to the petition circulating in his behalf, though b‘x‘eitfl'inud.u have strong hopes of a favorable re- oult. — e e, GENERAL NEWS.

The exhibition of tablesux given by the Indies and gentlemen of the Congregational Charch for the benefit of that society passed off very successfully, and resulted in the addition of over 8300 to the treasury of tho church. Considers- ble care was used in the preparations, and the stage appointments and effects were well ar- ranged. By request of the pastor, s number of the ladies in tho sudlence removed their hats, 50 31, Telford, hall wers afforded sotme opportuniy for glancing a% the stage. f all had suticipated this request, 8ad arranged their Lair 8o that it conld bo com- plicd with, the opportunities would have been greatly increased. Twenty-five reenes from the great allegory of the * Pilgrim’s Progress " were represented.somo sixty persons being required for the various im- persouations, Tho tableaux abonnded in shining angels (who never flapped their winzg). and tho young ladies taking theso parts lookel so much moro beautiful than usual that their friends ex- perienced somo difficulty in recognizing them.

The next session of the Northwestern Dairy- man's Association will be hoid in_this city, and it will probably result in the formation of a Stato society and the dissolution of the present oue, a4 the Wiscongin men have already swung off. In this city last year, the cheose and butter trade amonnted to over 800,000, Largoamounts wore shipped direct to Liverpool, Utah, San Francitco, otc., and the mark of Elgin bulter and cheeso is well and widely known.

DwIGRT, Til,, Feb. 13, 1874, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : : Siz: You will pardon our wantof knowledge of the ways of tho world, but, down here upon the peairies, we see but little, snd hear much less, of what goes on in your city, except through the medium of the papers. Yestorday we went to town and bought a copy of Tue Cricago TrIs- UNE, to Boo if there wos auything in your paper about Grangers, and ‘‘manufactirera refusing 1o sell their plows excopt to thoir sgents.” Wo took the papor home, combed the hay-sced out of our hair, opened the paper, and found it fall of a description of n_great ball you have had. What worried us tho most, and also the &u‘tner of our eorrows and toils, was this: ow do you newspaper-men procurs such accu- rate aud dotailed dedcriptions of thoso elegant toilets 2 Toll us what is a ** black faille.” Is it not a misprint for black fill §o I thought 1 would write, and ask you to rolieve our sus- Penso upon tho subject. In New York City, we havo beon told, it is a common practice, the day before o grand ball or party 15 givon, for theladies to get themeelves up in gorgoous array, as they contcmplato appear- ing upon tho mght of the ball. A reporter, is then sent for, and they sro then interviewed, something aftcr the atylé the Chicago Zimes in- terviewed Nilsson when she was lastin your city. Last woek a reporter was nearly murdered in New York under similar circumstances. Ile had an ongagement o * write up * six ladies in cne morning, and it was worse than writing up an execution. The names of the ladies were badly mixed up ; and, to read the accounts of what they had on, one would Lave thonght it was a description of Eve before the fall. When the lords of creation saw the account in print, they not only threatened to horsowhip the reporter, but to assassinate the pmgxielum of the paper. Wo aro going to bave o ball hero upon the 224 of February, to commemorate the following events in our history, and I will send you a de- sm}i;{)tiou of what the ladies “badon: ™ irst—Tho fall of keroscno from 40 cents per galion to 19. Second—Tho rise of corn from 19 cents per bushel to 48 cents per bushel. Third—The trinmph of the hog resolution r{gggad st the Convention in Chieago, Oct. 22, 7. Fourth—The downfall of the ring which *re- fuses to sell plowa except to their agents.” If theso are not ovents worthy of & ball, then W0 RI0 DO PLOWHOLDER. : —_— +INDICTED FOR LOTTERY-DEALING.
