It is natural to some men to shrink from
unpleasant subjects. They do not like
the thought of assuring their lives, or
making a will, because Of the uncomforta-
BILE associations connected with these acts
Of duty. On the same ground some Of our
readers may feel inclined to pass by this
article with a cold shudder, and go on with
something less dismal. But as in the fore
named cases, so in this, it is much wiser
to look the possibly near calamity full In
the face and consider how it may best be
met. In this article we purpose FIRST to
endeavour to describe what a hurricane IS,
which, after the experience of last Sep
TENDER, may perhaps, be thought unneces-
sary, though it is not and next VIZ will
point out how far, according to our view,
the knowledge of the nature of a hurricane
may be of service.
Let us first try to get a clear conception
of the storm itself. If you will take a
plate on the dining table aud commence
turning it round and at the same time
moving it steadily for ward in one direc-

Our readers will recoIlect tEat Mr..
Pope ILaunossy, in a speech made at Cork,
brought charges against Barbados f"de-
liberate oppression Of the masses, &c
This was taken up in Parliament, and Lord
Caruaryou sail that the Government were
not in possession Of any facts to warrant
such statements. OF course he must have
given the loquaci0us Hennessy a rap over
the kuucktes privately. But there is now
published a letter TO Mr.. Hill, the Chair
man Of The West India Committee in Lon
don, in which Lord Carnaryon states that
Mr.. Uennessey had ode, ignedly avoid
ed all reference to Barbados 10 the
two speeches which be understood would
be reported", but on the occasion referred
to by Mr.. HILL, "bolievin that there would
be no report, he expressed opinions SINH
lar to those quoted" In other words,
when NIr. Pope Hennessy knew there would
be an opportunity given Of showing up his
statements, he was careful what he said,
but when he thought no one outside of
Cork would hear, he let his Imagination
run away with him a little!
A correspondent of the English Stand.
ard furnishes the following facts about
education in Barbados. Out of an annual
revenue of 9l24,OO0 the sum of 97,463
was spent on education in 1874, i. e. 6
per cent. In Great Britain itself the
expenditure in the same year was only 2
per cent. of the revenue According to
the report of the Inspector of schools in
1876, there were in the island 1896
children of all ages registered as scholars.
with an average attendance of 9,161. The
population of Barbados is 1862 900 and the
total number of schools in the island 10

begin from N. E., and the reason is that at
the commencement of the storm the effects
of the forward motion are perceptible and
give the wind much more casting than it
would have if the cyclone were standing
still. OF course we do not mean that
every wind S3tting in from north or north
east will end in a hurricane ; but it is
better to take. precautions in such a case,
and especially if the barometer falls at the
same time. 1t is plain from these facts
that in barring up it is desirable to
secure the north and cast sides Of a build
ing first; but it is not safe to be satisfied
with securing these sides only, for tho
wind is certain to veer round either TO the
east and south east, ia which case the cen
ire is passing on the south side of US or
to the N. w. w. & S. W., in which case
the centre is passing on the north side.
These latter facts can be very clearly
made out by going back to cur dining
table with paper islands, and placing one
Of these latter in various positions in re-
gard to the rotating and advancing plate.
Lastly it is a great consolation 10 know
thata hurricane cannot last long ; The force
iy rapid part Of the storm is confined to a
narrow ling, not more perhaps on the
average thaa SO miles lii diameter, which
surrounds the calm axis. Tti5 takes
two or three hours to pass through,
and all d,nger is then over. The rise
Of the barometer is 4 sure sign
that the worst is past. A IulI in the wind
is not SO, for it may merely iudicAte the
passage OF the calm centre, in which case
the wind will commence to blow again
with equal fury from the south as coOu as
this space is traversed.
1t is scarcely necessary to urge people
ia Santa Cruz to take proper precautions.
The lesson Of last September viii be re-
mpmbered for som years to come, and full
preparations will no doubt be made every
where this season to meet q gale There
is some comfort in rejecting that, to
judge from the past, there is every proba-
DiIity that these preparations will not be
brought into use.
