PLANTATION that accounts for these
showers applies also to the fall of liv-
ing organisms which have been previ-
ously mentioned. There seems to be
little doubt that winds, whirlwinds and
waterspouts are the chief cause of
these phenomena. The several fish
showers that have been recorded
were all preceded or accompanied by
heavy rain or violent wind. forming

Jonathan measures everything by his OWL
gigantic ell.
His notions are like the continent he in
habits: vast almost boundless He has done
such wonders that he feels equal to doing
anything and everything.
The result is that America is the home of al

How muchs So much. Done.
Parisians remember very well the Ameri
can millionaire who, on the occasion of his
daughters marriage. wrote to the town
council of Paris to ask for the loan of the Arc
de. Triomphe, which he was anxious to decor
ate in honor of the wedding, and have the
special use of during the day. He was politely
informed that the Arch was not to let.
"Then will buy it, he replied. "Name
your price.
The offer was royal one, and the Ameri-
can, doubt not, thought the town council
mad to let slip such chance of doing bust
ness.
Jonathan would ask the queen of England
to lend him Windsor castle for the season, If
the fancy took him.

CHAPTER xxxI1I.

It is to the bright, bracing climate of North
America that the activity, and consequent
prosperity, of Jonathan is mainly to be at
tributed.
The dry, invigorating air induces activity,
and you can do things in America which it
would never enter your mind to attempt in
Europe
The cold in winter is excessive, but you do
not suffer from it; for my part, scarcely no
ticed it. 1t is kind of cold which does not
penetrate, and against which it is easy to pro-
tect ones SELF 1t is dry, bracing, healthful,
excites the circulation of the blood, and
makes one feel full of life.
The air is charged with ozone and electric
ity Several times. in touching the heating
pipes and gaseliers, l had tiny electric sparks
fash from my fingers ends In brushing
your hair you will often hear the cracking of
the electric sparks produced by the friction
Of the brush.
The American sky is bright, of lovely
blue 1t is never clouded for more than two
or three days together. You live in clear,
smiling atmosphere which sheds joy in the

cons are so bright and lively. Man, every
where, is influenced by the climate in which
he lives
Stimulants are not needed, water sufices,
and few Americans drink anything but water
at meal time on ordinary occasions Alec
holic drinks are almost forbidden by the eli
mate. A bottle of wine goes to the head
sooner In America than half a dozen would
In England or the north of France.
When was in America, though it was
winter time this includes the spring, which
only exists in American almanacs), was al
ways thirsty; the dryness of the atmosphere
made my tongue constantly feel like a CRATER.
lquenched my thirst with water or an ice.
Drunkenness IS not national vice in
America. On the contrary, it Is rare even
among the lower classes. and does not exist in
the higher.
The air Is so dry in the north OF the States
that when heated. at theatres, concerts, and
balls. one breathes with difficulty, and it
often causes the breath to be disagreeable
