A Home Made Weather Prophet
A travelogue style note recalls a Maine lumber camp where a simple homemade barometer is described. A mixture of camphor, saltpeter, ammonia salts and alcohol is sealed in a bottle and hung on the north side of a tent. Clear liquid signals fair weather, cloudy or muddy indicates rain, white flakes warn of cold, starry flakes foretell a storm, and threadlike forms at the top predict wind. The piece urges boys camping to try the device as a cheaper alternative to a barometer.
