sUNBEAMS AND SHADOWS:
Temperance Versus Intemperance.
BY ANNIE GEORGE.

CHAPTER v.

Hearts, so lately mingled, seem
Like broken clouds-or like the stream
That smiling left the mountains brow,
As though its waters ne'er could sever,
Yet, ere it reach the plains below,
Breaks into floods that part forever.

knowledge.

There is Scarcely anything in print, from
which we may not only gather valuable in
formation, but become deeply interested by
porusal, although it may treat of matters for
which one has very little taste or judgment.
i was forcibly impressed with this observa-
ton OF looking over the Scientific Ameri-
can" flew evenings since. l picked it up
from amongst the pile Of exchanges, remar-
king at the time that l should find very lit
tie to interest me therein, as | had 50 little
knowledge about Mechanics, Patents, &C.
But | had scarcely uttered the words before
my eye fell on the following highly instruc.
tive article, and ] at once determined to trans.

The Winds.

The Ancients believed TINT the winds issued
from q cavern at the command of Jove, and
they were under the control Of four deities,
to whom the Phenicians, Greeks, and others
= erected temples. We now, however. know
that wind Is merely air in q state Of melton,
and that by waving the band to and fro, OF
blowing our breath, We may produce wind
on a small scale. When the air, at any par
ticular place, is heated by the direct action
of the SUMS rays or radiation, it risesbecause
of its lightness, and cold air from b esurroun-
ding localities rushes in to hll its place. A
common door win illustrate this; if we par
tally open the door of a warm room and
hold a light near the top, the fame will be
blown outwards by the heated air escaping,
and If we hold the light near the bottom, the
flame win be blown inwards by the cold air
that is rushing in to supply fireplace of the
heated air that has escaped. In particular
parts Of tropical regions, where the air be-
comes highly heated'by the sun, there is q
constant rushing of air to these points, from
east to west, and thus causes the trade winds,
so called because taken advantage ofby mer-
ehantmen on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
They blow in the same directions for months
together.
This local action of the sun on vast areas Of
land and water produces several other impor-
tant winds, such as monsoons, which blow
from the south to the north, being trade winds
turned round by the heat Of land lying with
in the tropics the simeon is a burning blast
that rushes over the Arabian deserts, carry
ing on its wings fine sand, and destroying all
that venture to oppose its power. The har-
mattan is a cold dry wind frequent in Africa,
and is nearly as dangerous as the simoons.
The sirocco visits Italy, with a hot, moist and
relaxing blast from the African shores of the
Mediterranean and whirlwinds and tornadoes
