WHY THE WIND CHANGES.
Scientific Explanation of the Causes of Shifting Currents and Steady Winds,

SChChNtEtS L& IlsaHGtlCn or ti<
 Causes of Shifting Currents and
 Steady Winds.
 That the changing of the direc-
 tion of the wind is due to the
 shifting of situations of greatest
 heat upon the earth is substan-
 tially proved by the fact that in
 certain regions of the earth's sur
 face, where the situations of the
 greatest heat and cold do not alter
 the direction in which they lie to
 each other, the wind does not
 change, but always blows in the
 same direction from one day to
 another, and all the year round.
 This occurs in the great open
 space of the ocean, where there is
 no land to get heated up by the scattering of the heat at night. In those spaces for vast breadth of many hundred miles the sun shines down upon the surface of the sea, heating the water most along the midocean track which lies most immediately beneath it's burning rays as it passes across from east to west.
 This midway track of the strong est sunshine crosses the wide ocean as belt or zone, that spreads some way to either side of the equator. Throughout this midway track the cooler and heavier air on either hand drifts ln from the north and from the south, and then rises up, as 1t be- comes heated by the sun, where | the two currents meet. In both | instances, however, in consequence of the spinning round of the earth, the advancing wind ac- 4uires westward as we'll as an drift. The air current. as 1t approaches the midway equa- 5orial zone, where the onward movement of the sea covered sur face of the earth is performed with the velocity of 1000 miles an lour, does not immediately ac- luire this full rate of speed, and ags back upon the ocean, so that t appears as a drift towards the vest as we'll as toward the equator.
 On the north side of the equator he wind blows all the year round rom the northeast, both to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. These teady and unchanging ocean winds are called the trade winds n account of the great service hey render to ships carrying merchandise across these portions f the sea. In sailing from Eng and to the Cape of Good Hope, trough the entire length of the -tlantic ocean, ships, before they each the equator, have to pass , yer a broad space, where strong 'inds are always blowing steadily rom the northeast. That is the sgion of the northeast trades. hey then traverse a space near c- the equator itself, where the wind ceases to blow, ' nd where the air is very still and jim, and they afterwards come to a 'gion south of the equator, where V rong winds are continually lowing from the southeast. That a

Sold for Nearly ssG ,o00-How and
 When Et Was Printed.
 From the Scientific American.
 4 Bible was sold at auction in
 London the other day for 3,900
 pounds sterling (about S19,5OO).
 It was knocked down, after spirited
 bidding by a number of contest
 ants for the book, to Mr. Quaritch,
 a dealer in rare works, and is be-
 lieved to be the highest price ever paid for single copy of any book at auction. It is known tc |bibliophilists as the Mazarin Bible. The title is derived from the fact of a copy having been discovered Tn the library of Cardinal Mazsriri in Paris, about the middle of the eighteenth century, and is general. ly assumed to have been the earlis est printed book. There are said to be eighteen of this edition in existance, one half of which are in public libraries in Europe.
 The copy for which Mir. Quaritch bid such wonderful price is de- scribed in the Art Age as "magnifs cent" It is printed in double col. umns in type similar to church script, and is "splendidly" bound in blue morocco. The Mazarin Bible Is without date, and is vari ously ascribed to the years 145O, 1452 and 1455. A copy preserved in what used to be called the Royal library at Paris contains note stating that it was completed "in binding and illuminating in the year 1456, which would put the probable date of printing at twelve months earlier. According to ths of the Syston Park library, the Mazarin Bible is printed with metal types. Type founders, however, have differed on that point among themselves, some contending that it was com
 
 pressed from wooden blocks, others declaring for letters cut in metal, and a third party deciding in favor 'f cast letters, the last in every material respect like those now ln lse. But, whatever kind of type nay have employed in producing he earliest printed book, 1t would ven at the present time, be ac- epted as noble specimen of the geographic art.
 The printing of the Mazarin Bible is ascribed to Guttenbergs ut the fact, 5ge believe, has never 'een established beyond doubt. IT.. Quaritch, in an interview with
 newspaper reporter after the ale, said that three out of he five copies of this edition f the Bible known to be wned by private parties had assed through his hands, the first eing purchased by him when oung man for 590 pounds sterling.

The business of land grabbing,
 in which Western stockmen and
 cattle companies engage with great gusto and such success, has received faeer iii a report to the commissioner of agriculture from the Bureau of Animal Industry in opposition to the proposed cattle trail of six miles in width from the Red River of the South to the Red River of the North. The report riddles to fragments the proposi ton of the cattle companies to lease the public domain at one cent per acre. It points out, the fact that, by a liberal estimate, the 23,000,000 cattle west of the Mississippi would require less than 3O0,0O0,0OO acres for support; whereas under the leases asked by the cattle companies 1,25O,O00,- 900 acres would be absorbed. The country must have beef, but it is not necessary to surrender all empire of virgin soil in order to obtain it.-Exchange.
