HURRICANES.



The Anuario gel Deposito Hidro-
gratico of Madrid contains a paper by
Lieutenant T. Carrasco V Guisasola, of
the Spanish navy, in which new theo.
ry of cyclones is very plausibly set
forth. The author admits, with other
writer's, that electricity plays great
part in these and other phenomena.
Before water spout appears the mari
ner perceives number of black clouds,
which speedily congregate in n single
spot. The lowest of them soon descends
in the shape of an inverted cone,
the apex OF which seems to touch the
surface of the sea- The waters below
get agitated at its approach, and emit
vapor which rises up like smoke.
Sometimes II circular depression is
formed just below the cone, as if ii VIC.
lent wind were blowing from the apex
very rarely the inverse occurs. namely,
the rising of the sea to meet the spout.
The latter is generally accompanied
with lightning, thunder, hail and rain
Here, then, electricity contributes its
share, but it cannot easily be proved
that 1t is the cause of the phenomenon,
or of hurricanes generally.
To fad this our author selects as
suitable examples the typhoons of the
Chinese Sea, and POUNDS his reasonings
on the following hypothesis "A
zone or belt of air, saturated with
aqueous vapor, and compressed by two
opposite forces as much as it can pos.
sibly be, acquires the power of resist :
ance peculiar to solid bodies, and may
therefore be made to revolve like a hard
disk under the influence of those
forces.N Now the origin of the mon
soon in the Chinese Sea is generally
attributed TO the rarefaction Of the at
mosphere caused by the radiation Of
heat from the great continent, and the
consequent attraction of air from the
sea to fill up the vacuum. This
induces a northeast trade wind, which
passes over the Philippine Islands, and
ends in the Pacific at about two hun
dred leagues from its eastern shores.
So does also the southwest monsoon !;
and between these two winds there
exists in that ocean zone of Gains
which shifts its position in accordance
with the prevailing wind; that is,
always on the side of the weaker one.
Now this zone is the one which our
author considers in the light of solid.
Ii exposed to two opposite and equal
winds, it will be compressed. but not
more than the water it contains will
allow. If the wind be obhque to each
other and unequal, the zone will re-
volve, and, as it finds no obstacle to
stop it, it will also be shifted more or
less horizontally. Now this is exactly
the motion of cyclones these storms
will occur oftener in rainy than in other
years and soon after the rains if the
latter should happen to fall at the be-
ginning of the northeast monsoon.

Christian Muscle.

That which staggers HIM when rising,
Thou canst hold at arms full length.
Not his fault that he is feeble,

II is God makes lives to differ,
Some from waiting, some nom song.

PeriIs Encountered in Searching for the
Ouinine Plant.

The cascarilleros or bark hunters are
very avaricious and very brave, going
out alone, setting up hut in proba-
ble-looking spot, and dIverging from
their headquarters in every direction.
If by any accident they get lost or their
provisions are destroyed, they die Of
hunger. DIR Weddell on one occasion
in Bolivier landed on the beach Of a
river well shaded with trees. Here he
found the cabin of cascarillero. and
near it man stretched out upon the
ground in the agonies of death. He
was nearly naked, and covered with
myriads Of insects, whose stIngs had
hasteI ed his end. On the leaves which
formed the roof Of the hut were the
remains of the unfortunate mans
clothes, straw hat, and some rags,
with a knife, an esrthen pot containing
the remains Of his last meal, little
maze and two or three chunus. Such
is the end to which their hazardous oc-
cupatior .aposes the bark collectors
death in the midst of the forests, faT
from home; death without help and
and without consolation. -LippiHcotfS
