In order to convey q more definite
idea OF our theory we will choose a GER
tain locality which may serve the pur-
pose of diagram to our demonstration,
aud this diagram shall be the region of
West river. This river takes lis rise
among the forests near the summit OF
the Green mountains, at a height OF
some 1900 feet above the level of the
sea, and. flowing southerly forty or fifty
miles, empties into the Connecticut
river about two miles north from the
southern boundery of the State.
During hot summer day the sides o.!
the deep valley Of this river reek with
intense heat, and cause flow OF moist
air upward toward the summit of the
mountain region, from the valley Of the
Connecticut, and al o from the sea. This
moist air, meeting with the general cur.
rent from the southwest, piles up IN i'm.
mense mass of cumulous cloud of many
square miles in extent. So long as the
intense heat prevails this cloud increases
in size, grows blacker with its dense
vapor, and casts gloomy, lurid glare
over the face of nature, darker than that
of any eclipse. The vapOr, pushed by
the ascending currents of heated air, at
tains a great height above the sea,
where the temperature isvery low. But
finally, ut that hour of the afternoon
when the heat begins to decline, the &C
cumulated vapors, no ION ger augmented
or sustained by heated air from the val
leys below, fall in rain .-PopuIGr Science

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Tho Women of Calcutta,

The women OF Calcutta are, as a rule,
very beautiful. in so far as we CAL recon-
Gle beauty with the olive complexion,
but fade rapidly after reaching the age
OF maturity. 1t is not jnfrequent that
we see women at the age of twenty five
with furrowed jowl and crows feet
visibly. encroaching the corners of her
large. lustrous black eyes; and at the
age OF thirty many have decided stoop
and decrepit gait, as if old age had laid
his vandal hand heavily upon their
shoulders. The decline is rapid, and
within the space of FIVE years we
behold a form, whereon beauty had
loved to sit enthroned, now raw.
ished by the merciless grip of
decay. Not old age. however, for this
early decline is due to two causes:
the very early and tender age at which
nuptials are performed and the de-
structive influences of the climate.
Barring that relic of barbarianism, the
nose-ring, there is no creature more
comely, more lovable, than "Mem
Sahib" of Bengal between ihe ages Of
twelve and eighteen. Cleanliness is
their constanG care, which is virtue to
begin with. A figure somewhat below
tue medium height, md unhampered
by corset or weighty skirt, arrayed in a
loose flowing robe of white. The upper
portion OF the body is encased in q
sleeveless jacket, generally of some
| brilliant Color, and tastefully worked
with silk or gold and silver thread.
The arm is bare from shou,c er to wrist,
save a goodly portion of the wrist,

too often the nose is dishgured by pearl

A Long Lost Lover.

One rarely meets a bit OF more touch
ing romance than is found in the follow
ing story that comes from Wales:
Years ago some Welsh miners, in ex
ploring an old pit that had long been
closed, found the body of a young man
dressed in a fashion long out of date
The peculiar action of the air of the
mine had been such as to preserve the
body so perfectly that it appeared asleep
rather than dead. The miners were
puzzled at this circumstance. No one
in the district had been missed within
their renen brance, and at last it was
resolved to bring the Oldest inhabitant--
an old lady past her eightieth year, who
had lived single in the village the whole
of her life.
On being brought into the presence ol
the body stran ge scene occurred. The
