The fact that the first series 0!
schoeks in the Spanish earthquakes was
succeeded by d hurricane Is more sig
uincant than it seems to have been
hitherto considered. The question
whether earthquakes have or have not
atmospheric relations IS more important
and this Spanish hurricane has a direct
bearing on it. 1t has indeed already
been demonstrated that there IS more
relation between terrestrial magnetism
and seismic phenomena, and there Is
some reason to believe that atmospheric
pre5suTeS of quite delicate extent are
often if not always responded to by
active volcanoes, while III some cases
these strange barometers indicate the
approach of storms with Trustworthy
regularity. But when an earthquake is
succeeded by a hurricane the Inference
must be that If the occurrence of the
wind-storm is more than a coinci ence
it must be caused by IA profound atmos-
pherlc change of pressure; such IA
change as conld only be produced plOa-
bly, by an electrical storm of exceeding
violence. Whether earthquakes or this
particular earthquake, have electrical
origins, or are themselves the of
electrical disturbances, il is at present
impossible to determine. II IS quite
possible tnat the severe conclusion
which constitutes Al earthquake shock
may generate electrical changes in the
atmosphere. 1t is less easy to perceive
how such "a shock could produce All
alteration in the local or regional atmOs-
pheric pressure considerable enough to
cause a hurricane.
OF course it is open to the inyestiga-
tor to deny any connection between the
hurricane aud the earthquake. But it
must be remembered that is by no
means an isolated case. In the West
Indies the phenomena are reversed, and
earthquakes accompany hurricanes, Or
follow them, and in Central America
the hurricane frequently succeeds the
earthquake, Therefore there is ground
for the belief that a connection may be
traced between the phenomena, and it
IS by following up such suggestions and
indications that the true origin Of these
disturbances can alone, il ever, be dis
covered. 1t may be that many earth
quakes which bccur at a distance from
volcanic centeTs have an electrical or
partially electrical origin. Certainly if
hurricanes and shocks occurring together
have the same genesis, it will not do.to
conclude that the latter is subUeTTanean,
for no deep-seated chemical process
could produce a hurricane, and if the
hurricane occurs 1t is most probably
because both the phenomenas are due
to atmospheric conditions. The .ques-
ton Is one of considerable interest, and
we trust that there have been observers
III SPAN cool enough and enterprising
enough to collect some valuable testi-
mony as to the exact nature of the facts
in the case.

The hands are such dear hands;
They are 50 full; they turn az our m2nd
So often; they reach out,
With trihes scarcely Thought about,
So many times; they do
So many things for me 'or you
If their fond wills mistake,
We luay well bend, not break,
They are such fond. frail lips
That speaks to us. Pray, if love strips
Them Of discretion many times,
Or If they speak too slow or quick, such
crimes
We may pass by; for we may see
Days not far on when those small words
may be
Held not as slow, or qucik, or out Of
place, but dear,
Because the lips are no more here,
They are such dear, familiar feet that go
Along the path with ours - feet fast or
slow,
And trying to keep pace-if they mistake
Or tread upon some Hover that we would
take
Upon our breast, or bruise some reed,
Or crush poor Hope until it bleed.
We may be mute, :
Not turning quickly to impute
Grave fault; for they and we
Have such a little way TO go-can be
together such q little while along the way,
We will be patient while we may.
So many little faults we find.
We see them; for not blind
Is Love. We see them; but if you and
Perhaps remember them some by and by,
They will not be
Faults then, grave faults-to you and me
But just odd ways-mistakes, OF even less
Remembrances to bless.
Days change so mauy things-yes, hours.
We see 50 differently in suns and showers
Mistaken words tonight
May be so cherished BY to-morrow's light,
We may be patient; for we know
There's such a little way TO go.

DIR. Abbott was for half a century
principal of Phillips Exeter Academy.
He recently talked about sc~hool-boys as
follows:
"Lewis Cas- was a very wild boy.

to me and asked me If | would take his

the future statesman evinced more
talent for practical affairs than for the
details of scholarship.
In speaking of the schOol-boy traits
Of Daniel Webster, DR.. Abbot mem
toned an unexpected fact. He said
that "Young Webster showed an ia.
superable aversion to defamation. AS
the boy is father to the man. it might
have been supposed that the lad who
was destined to 10 pre-eminent ia ora

fondness for defamation, but no per-
suasion could overcome his natural
difidence."

and unsuccessful pupil, but such was
not the fact. His mind rarely seemed

Of the window; but at recitation the
pupil who appeared not to be engaged
