Differences in Health Caused by Changes in the Barometer, An Electrio Aimosphere the Causo of Chicago Actlyity. Tho Academy of Selences held its regular monthly meeting Inst evening at No. 343 Wabash avenne, Prof, Babeoek in the chair, After some preliminary business of the routine type, the President announced the xelentifie tople for the evening's discussion, “ Local Meteorology,” and invited individual remarks on that rather Intoresting subject, Lrof, Hough referred to the general sub- fect of meteorology as onoot great tuterest to soclety, though even nt the present day tt could not be strletly sald to be nsclence, As to the matter of locat meteorology, he wasn’t 80 well versed, not having made it a subject of particular study. After somo general re- marks on tho subject of tho atmosphere and the pecutturities of tho varfous zones, Prof. Hough described the general system of winds encircling the earth. ‘The next question was, whether there was any genoral Inw affecting these winds, If there wore any such law, it should be general in {ts operation for a given time. Tho results, however, were 50 various that {twas hupossibla to apply any outside law to the ineteorology of 1 particular local- Ity, St. Louls lind her ‘Lice, who prognos- tlented the wenthor month or so ahead, basing is prognostleations on the unknown planet Vulcan. In a conversation with Tiee a short time ago, tho speaker asked how it was. that Vul- ean shoutd alfect St. Louls and have no effect on Chlenge or any other locality suceesslye- ly, The question was a poser. [Siniles,] The effect of the moon, of course, was to make thles, but hfs own observations coin- elded with the mass of observations gener- ally,—that the moon had no effect upon tho weather whatever, As far as ithad been discovered, there wasno relation between them. Spenting of the theory of starms, Prof, Hough explained that the waves of barometric pressure traveled from west to east, sueceeding each other irregularly, at the rate of about thirty miles un jour, lind beon found the case in wll storins that the wind moved {1 towards the centre of Jow pressure and swung around to tho ieft,or in a direction contrary to the motion. of the hands of a watel. From the known direction of storms and tho hydro- metric condition of tha atmosphere, the Sig- nual Service-could always prognostieate the Appearance of a COLD WAVE IN ANY LOCALITY, In Chicago, Intterly, the cold waye seemed to haye been deflected—a thing which was lable to take pines. The telegraphic weather reports furnished the newspapers wore quite Recurate ina general way, but notin special Jocalities, the Service not having as yet ad- vanced to that polit. In anawer to n question, Prof, Tourh said the barometric waves traversed the Atiantle from west to east, following the ruling direc- tion, It had ones taken avery cold” wave, according to observations he had made here and siinilar observations made by a friend in. Switzerland, sixteen days to travel from Albany to that Republic. Dr. Jewell sald everybody was commonly supposed to be able to tulk about thnt favorit tople, tho weather. Ho lind listened” with great interest to Prof, Hough's remarks, especially In view of the effect produced by barometric pressure upon health, person suddenly removed from the level of Ue sea to n great attitude experienced a peculiar, languor, which was the effect of tuoi pressure. ‘To-day 9 porson felt. weak and depressed, but with to-morrow’s change inthe weather, he felt very much better. ‘There was no question but thnt this feeling of langtidness differed in uccordanee with the degree with which the blood was pressed into the nervous centres and the thorough- ness, under these circumstances, in which the circulation took place, “The sane diftar- enco was observed, to a degree, under cimatle changes, ‘Take a person a large portion of whose Drain or spinal cord was the seat of a congestion, The bload-vessels wero In a relaxed, finecid state.

If o patient wero silering, peso minty people wera at times, from n not, suficiently uctiye circulation, Dr. Jewell sald he would send him down where tho barometer was ng nesr 30 ns possible, and where it was cool. Under opposlt conditions, he would send him up where thero was an habitwully rathor low barometric pressure. ‘Tho Doctor also had something to. say about Chicago's perfee! ly Mutuntehed and un- matchable climate. ‘This Feplon, on the whole, bad not been a very good one for per- sons of cither of tho two classes referred to. ‘Those in pretty fair health could stay here very well, ‘Tho variations were not very) QX- treme, but thoy wers rather rapid, espocially In temperature, and, ton certain oxtent, fn barometric pressure.

From a medical point of view, his Chlcago ellinate was quite worthy of study, Prot, Hough asked Dr, Jowell If ho had cousidared ho relations of the weather to pal, Dr, Jowell replied that he had, to a cortain extent, aud that these changes In thelr effects upon people troubled with thoumatiam, neue rugih, ete, wero quite marked. The rela- tlons of the weather in any rigorous elite to the health wero really wimatter of moro Importanes than most people supposed. It had come to that pass where {t appeared to bin that there was much useful Information which the people ought to have in some form orother on tis subject, and he hoped that the Academy would not piss tt over | plitly, Proft Babcock raferred to anther nse of tho subject. Our prevailing winds, he nal, Were from the west and southwest. They wero vory dry and dovelaped very Ilitle posl- tive electricity, In consequence of the frletion arising from tha passage over tho high, dry plains, haweyer, they camo highly charged. ‘The molt atmosphere was inn fen" receptlyo state for being clurged with hat olectricity, Living In an atmosphere which thug beeame sureharged with elec- trielly, the people of Chieugo were more acilye, niory vivacious, more — enterpris- im more driving than were those living at a distance of fifty inlles or so from the al IOs photo of thelike.
