are remarkably infsequent, and. when they 90
occur. almost invariably have q westward course
first. which brings their margins at any rate
within reach OF American observation The storms
leaving the continent off the New England and New
Brunswick coasts do in the great majority Of
cases with considerable intervals between their
centres-intervals that marked by conditions
which generally prevent the union of the storm
areas. Cases are known where two three
storm centres enter what might be termed the same
general area of pressure but these instances
and the storm centres lose their identity
How completely the identity of storm centres is
kept has been abundantly proved by observation
the American continent itself. Mr.. Scott specially
remarks upon a prediction from the HERALD office
of the arrival of storm coasts
the 18th of February, 1877. storm centre
did arrive on that day. but Mr.. Scott says
that the path of the disturbance in such
direction to say the least would render it i'm.
probable that the of the depression in question
had come from America and ON previous occasion
he had said that the presumption was that the
storm came from the neghborhood of Iceland; but.
in reality the very fact of this coming to the
British Isles from the northwest was the strongest
possible proof of the accuracy of the data upon
which the HERALD predictions based, for the
storm in question took a general northeasterly
followed by Of high barometer, between which
great undulation of their line occurred in
which the storm centre moved. When it reached
latitude little northwestward of Scotland and be-
tween that country and Iceland, the high pressure
in advance of it extended rapidly Norway
and Sweden aud the Baltic. while the area
behind it receded southward slowly. to
direct the Of the storm centre toward the
east and southeast and over the British Islands.
thus bringing it here from northwest direction.
Mr.. Scott's remark that it must not be forgotten
that the fact Of gale being reported the day for
which is foretod does necessarily prove
that the gale felt here is the storm that left tho
American coast has been fully answered by the re.
peated success of these predictions. So long as .
prediction here there only successful it
might be fair to say this but Mr.. Scott himself
could hardly venture to repeat the remark now.
An efficient system of weather warning would confer
such benefits upon mankind generally. and espe-
ciay upon maritime nation like ourselves. that it
to be hoped English Meteorological Office will
see the necessity in iuture of working cordially
with their American colleagues"

'Longshoremen's Protective Union No. 1. win do

'iongshoremen of the side determined at Q late
meeting to ask for forty cents hour the estab-
shed rate for night and day work. instead Of thirty
cents now paid for day work and forty-hve
for night work. They also decided to throw
open their association to all who have bcen delin-
qucnt in conforming to its rules and regulations
and invite such persons to act with them In case
il deemed necessary to meet the refusal Of
their demands by the stevedorcs. The strike will
not be by any means general. some OF the men at
work on the east side would lead to believe IL

bees" by Mr. Frederick A. Ober. who. In 1876. began
an exploration OF the Caribbees and continued it

birds and insects, and classifying those already
known to science. He photographed everything in
teresting that he found in his journey. from the
dynastes Hercules the biggest bug in the world"
to use his phrase. to the picturesquely ragged
little darkies whom he met In the woods,
and his pictures appear In his book as
illustrations. In the appendix are the lists
of the birds discovered by him purchased
by the National Museum. and general catalogue Of
the birds in the Lesser Antilles. In his chapter on
-Iets Mr. Ober pays his respects to Mr. Headley

MR. J. @. HOLLANDS POETRY.

Inasmuch Mr.. Holland is living with the life of
young bay tree. that sheds sprouted.
and as his Complete Poetical Works" (Scribner's
Sonsl contain. with scarcely an exception, those
poems which have already blessed the eyes OF
numerous readers in previous editions of his works
or the pages OF equally read publications. need
not row make critical estimate Of their worth.
The present edition Is handsomely illustrated. and
moreover bears fine portrait of the poet Of the
gentle and the sweet. Here may be found his
''BitterSweet," with its bitterness toned down to
dulcetness and its sweetness delcately sweetened.
His work. which. we hear. is performed not in the
unequally enduring spasms Of fiery genius, but in
the determined manner Of man who, having long
journey to travel. does many miles day, Is
kept at its even flow from cover to cover. Through
the long reaches of "Kathrina" he works with the
same determination to every inch of the
ground with sequal feet-a fair heel and toe kind OF
poetry, IL we may say SO without jocoseness. His
shorter poems-we all know them. From "Whit-
tiers Seventieth Birthday" to where Shall the
Babys Dimple Be?' there is not line to shock the
most sensitive mind.
