Since warm, dry air is carried into
the cyclone from the anti-cyclone, the
clouds formed at the edge of the cyclone
are subsequently absorbed; thus the
clouds are more dense in the center
where the pressure Is II nimum, and
are progressively less dense toward the
periphery.

noticed by the captain of an Italian

but as soon as wet weather approaches
small red spots are exhibited, varying III
number and intensity with the amount

Mexico to Impose q Heavy Tariff on Live
Stock and Meats

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-ln an inter-
view on Mexican import taxes Hon.
Thomas Ryan, minister OF the United
states to Mexico, said: ~ decree has
been issued, to take effect Nov. l, re-
moving live stock and fresh meats
from the free list and imposing "A heavy
tariff. The tariff on fresh meats will
lie five cents a pound, which is practi-
cally prohibitory. The tariff on live
stock is scarcely less. There are no
statistics showing the value OF exports
from the United States into Mexico,
but their value is large, and { O the
best OF my judgment the balance of
trade has been several millions in our
favor. The United States pays out
500, 600, 900 i'm cash annually for
products which Mexico could furnish
us, and would take in exchange the
products OF our manufactures and EN-
terprises. ] believet that even a limited
measure Of reciprocity would within
live years develop a Mexican commerce
OF 500, ,OOO, 900 annually. Ii is tObe
hoped that both nations will awake
to the opportunities and advantages
Of closer relations. Mexico wants ma
chinery and agricultural implements,
cloths, tools, meats, live stock, every
thing we can furnish her, in fact. The
Mexicans are u wealthy people. What
they want they have. The country
raises n revenue Of $50, 600 900. Of
this O,MND, 900 is 10y "a tariff on inn
ports. Yet she would lee willing to
sacrifice n part of this, undoubtedly,
to secure reciprocal relations with the
United States"

Startling Possibilities.

l. it safe to drill the earth too much
for natural gas? Prot Joseph +. lone.
answers this question in the Popular
Science Monthly, and his conclusions
are OF the most alarming nature.
The professor assumes the earth to
lie a hollow sphere filled with n case
ous substance, called by us natural
gas, and he thinks that tappin. these
reservoirs will cause disastrous explo-
sions, resulting from the lighted gas
comm: in contact with that which is
escaping. lie compares the earth toa
balloon iioated and kept iistended by
the gas in the interior, which, ii ex-
hausted, will cause the crust to col
lapse, affect the motion of the earth
in its orbit. cause it to lose its place
among the heavenly bodies, and fall
in pieces.
Still another theorist has investi-
gated the gas wells with telephones
and delicate thermometers, and he
announces startling discoveries. H..
distinguished sounds like the boilingof
rocks, and estimates that n mile and
One-half or so beneath the Ohio and

TIRED OF THE BRITISH YOKE.
British Columbians Anxious for Annexation
to the United States.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.--In an interview
in local paper Joseph Habrick, a
mine owner of Victoria, says the larg
est part of the commerce bet ween Brit
ish Columbia and the United States is
in Cinnamon and opium. lie talks of
what is well known to the Pacific
coasters, about the way loads OF cool
les, which formerly went to San Fran
cisco. are dumped ut Victoria and
thence make their way across the
country; also the unparalleled extent
to which opium smuggling has grown.
Habrick further said that the people
up his way were particularly unani
nous for annexation to the United
States. "Kecent relations of the two
countries have spurred the desire" he
said; ''nobody blames the United
States for seizing the seal poachers in
Alaskan waters, although they were
mostly Victoria people. The blame
is wholly laid upon the British govern
ment, which, after telling the United
States We had right to fish for seal,
refused to give us protection. Any
how, even il we were in touch OF a gov
ernment 5000 miles away, and We are
not in any sense, the natural relations
OF our people with Americans would
demand union. We need American
capital. We have American blood,
and the English are positive handi-
cap on the attempts OF "a young and
prosperous people to develop thecoun-
try.
