fond OF music, and his one pleasure is
to maintain an orchestra. He engages

him all day This is luxury to him

The sur lEEsr1oS. is
the most iiRpdSs66S6f earthly blessings,
and therefore the nervous anxiety of the
sick to ascertain the relative merits of
the various medicines in use is not sur
pfising. Within the last two years
many thousands of invalids have aban-
doned the preparations of the pharma-
copolist for the remedy introduced by
DIR. Walker of California, under the
somewhat eccentric name of VINEGAR
BIrTRRs. That this nav vegetable med
icine is " winning golden opinions of all
sorts of people" is beyond doubt.
The accounts we hear of it's extraordin-
ary effects in cases of chronic dyspepsia,
rheumatism, liver complaints, malarious
fevers, nervous prostrations, and many
other distressing diseases, certainly JUS
tify the popularity which it has every
where acquired.
DR.. Walker claims for his specific
remedial power over all disorders that
do not involve an irreparable destruc-
ton of bone and fibre, and results 50 far
appear to have justified the claim. In this
age of wonders we are not disposed to
deny the possibility of any phenomena
not directly at variance with the laws of
nature and as it is held by many phys
iologists that all maladies proceed from
the same generic cause, we see no reason
for the incredulity with which some
people regard the idea of a universal
medicine DIR Walker s,auuareparatiOu.

away? Cannot we remember how, in
our childhood, the term of year APP

we could compress into that great space

But as we get older, how is it that,
with all our industry, time seems too

The influence of the Gulf Stream on
Storms


1t has been asserted lately that the
Gulf Stream has no influence upon,
storms, thatithey have no tendency, to
run toward it or to run upon it.. and
that what geographers,and seamen have
always said about the. Gulf Stream as a
weather breeder and storm king >,
is absurd. 1 think it can be demon
strated that this weH-knowf popular
belief is not absurd
1t is an observation as old as Aristotle
that the storms of the middle latitudes
in the Northern hemisphere advance
from west to east. This is obviously
partly due to the fact that the winds on
their eastern sides are southerly. that
they come from the equatorial regions.
and hence are highly charged with aque-
Gus vapor. This vapor is absolutely es-
sential to the sustenance of the storms
Moreover, the law of storms requires
that the southerly winds should enter
the storm-vortex on the eastern side
and as this is the side on which the
greatest quantity of vapor is found, and
the side of greatest condensation. of the
greatest evolution of latent heaalk =

al in producing the eastward progress
sion of all cyclones 1t must be con-
ceded that the pressure of vast aerial
currents does serve to force the meteor
along with them as the river eddy is
carried down stream with the water cur
rent; otherwise it is impossible to ex-
plain the westward progression of tropi-
cal hurricanes. While yet in the band
of easterly trade winds the storm will
invariably work its way or be propagat-
ed towards the most humid region, un-
less mechanically borne in another di-
rection by the great atmospheric cur
rent in which it is often imbedded as an
eddy in a river. The cyclone tracks
over all the oceans lie in Hie central
bands of the great ocean currents of
high temperature and great evaporation,
and the band of cyclonic violence is of
ten beautifully coterminous with the
sharply marked edge of the Gulf
Stream. Thus, in the Pacific, the Loo
choo Islands lie just in the path of the
Kuro Siwo, the great Pacific Gulf
Stream of the japanese, and are visited
by the most fearful typhoons but the

always on the lookout for these furiou:

Indian Ocean, and on the dark super
