The beautiful Island of Kishm, near
the mouth of the Persian Gulf, has
been visited by a great calamity. A
tremendous earthquake has destroyed
twelve villages. The number Of per-
SOD killed is estimated at 200, while
many others were injured. Nature has
clothed this island with indispensable
beauty. Its climate is delicious, its wom-
en- are renowned all over Asia for their
grace, its mineral waters abound in cur
atlve qualities and its scenery is charm
ing. An average of fifteen earthquakes
year distributed over the surface of
the earth keeps us in mind of its loose

The st. Louis Globe-D Democrat is
confident that the northern hemisphere
is undergoing marked climate changes.
In proof it is said that atmospheric con-
WILSON'S which, for want of better
name, we call cyclones, are certainly
more numerous than they were thirty
or forty years ago. After making due
allowance for the more thickly settled
condition of the country and the greater
facilities for gathering and transmitting
information of such occurrences, there
is still wide margin of excess left un-
explained, except by the supposition Of
an actual and marked increase of cyclon-
ic visitations. Another proof is the fact
that st. Louis once considered almost
an oven from the LIST of June to the LIST
OF September, is now comparatively
cool; so cool that those who left the
city the last two seasons in search of
cooler places found they had better
have staid at home. So cool was the
summer Of 1882 that weather experts
prophesied an unusually hot one for
1883; but the summer of 1883 was even
cooler than its predecessor, and from
present indications that of 1884 will be
the coolest of the three These things
seem to afford plausible evidence OF
change, but when that paper predicts
that, some hundreds or thou sands of
years hence, the north will undergo q
period Of intense cold, such as is known
to have existedin the Glacier Age, some
thousands or millions OF years ago, it is
evidently amere conjecture and entitled
to less consideration than one Of Ven

The wheat harvest has begun in some
of the Southern States. Nothing is
better calculated to impress one with
the magnitude of the United States and
its tremendous resources than the state
ly march of the wheat harvest from
Georgia and Texas to Dakota and Min
nesota. Already the mills of some por-
lions of the South are grinding new
wheat, and the reapers are busy in
Kentucky and Southern Illinois, but it
will be August before the grain of the
Red River Valley is cut. It is great
country whose wheat harvest lasts more
than two months. Another source of
wonder is the variety of products from
the soil, and the steady movement north

In ever wid'ning circles, till

Where strength must measured be.
