pense Such thoughts ran through our brain.
aud things were fast approaching 4 crisis. when
the subject Of our eogiiaiiuns turned over. and

Of Europe arc warmed by the Gnlf Stream to
the method Of warming buildings by hot water,
and calls the Torrid Zone the furnace, the Car

the Gulf Stream the conducting pipe, and the
great hot-air chamber being from the hank OF
Newfoundland TO the shores of Europe whence
the heat is taken up by the prevailing west
winds. Owing TO the influence of The Gulf
Stream, Ireland is clothed in robes OF eyergr reen

closed with ice in the severest winter The
Laplander culivates barley in a latitude which

power the concentrated sentiment of revolution

fire water Of the revolution, which insiilled in
the senses and the soul of the people the intox-

which every true man feels 10 his sonl, seems
here to have found words, and ii ii was US the
bugle-call to 4 thousand excesses and deeds
wthou, name, the fault was that of the ty-
rant who had so long suppressed a just measure
uf freedom, and had become impoient for heal
thy control when once the weight Of centuries
Of mlsrule was Withdrawn
Its author, Rouget De Lisle, was officer
in a corps Of French engineers, stationed at
SIarsburr, in 1909. lie wds born amid the
mountains that hem in SOus-le-Salaier ia the
Pa>a, and amused himself and his soldier COM
