NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2»<« S. IX. June 30. '60. 



Tempest; it will be preferable by Sea and Land, being 

 portable ; and will be found to be very exact and useful. 



" 1st. In the first place, if the weather is to be fine, the 

 substance of the composition will remain entirely at the 

 bottom, and the liquid will be very clear. 



" 2nd. Previous to changeable weather for rain, the 

 substance will rise gradually, and the liquid will be very 

 clear, with a small star in motion. 



" 3rd. Before a storm or extraordinary high wind, the 

 substance will be partly at the top, and will appear in 

 form of a large leaf, and the liquid will be very heavy 

 and in a fermentation. This will give notice twenty-four 

 hours before the weather changes. 



" 4th. In winter time generally the substance will lie 

 rather higher, particularly in snowy weather or white 

 frost ; the composition will be very white, with white 

 spots in motion. 



•' 5th. In the summer time, the weather being very hot 

 and tine, the substance will be quite low. 



" 6th. To know which quarter the wind or storm came 

 from, 3'ou will observe the substance will lie close to the 

 bottle on the opposite side to that quarter from which the 

 storm came. 



"Experiments have been made of this improvement, 

 and it has given much satisfaction both by sea and land."

A NEW MODE OF CANONISATION (2 nd S. IX. 383.) 



— T. Lampray asks for instances of dissenting 

 places of worship named after saints. I believe 

 they are not common, and even where they occur 

 they seem to be usually owing to local circum- 

 stances. Among the Independents I find the fol- 

 lowing : — 



Lewisham Road, St. David's. 



Newcastle-on-Tyne, St. James's and St. Paul's. 



Hindley, St. Paul's. 



Wigan, St. Paul's. 



Taunton, Paul's Meeting. 



Dale, near Milford, St. Ishmael's. 



Such names as Trinity, Zion, Salem, and Ebene- 

 zer are much more common ; and we also find 

 them named after AVycliffe, Ridley, Latimer, and 

 Milton. In all cases they are simply names, and, 

 as in the Church of England, the idea of dedica- 

 tion or consecration to a saint or other honoured 

 person is not entertained. B. H. C. 



An instance has come under my own notice of 

 an old church, or rather chapel of ease, being 

 pulled down, and a new one built on the site, in 

 which the old pre-reformation dedication was 

 altered out of compliment to one of the principal 

 contributors to the funds. The church in ancient 

 days was dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury. 

 It now bears the name of St. Mark the Evangeli.t.
