Something About STORMS.

The ancients, whose knowledge of
meteorology was exceedingly limited,
thought that storms were of supernat-
ural origin
To our vain ancestors, nothing could
happen without direct reference to
their existence. and it took many ages
for mankind to be convinced that the
forces of nature work without any ref
erence to mans safety or peril.
The storm, the cyclone and the biz
zard are just as natural phenomena as
sunshine or the formation of dew. Yet
10 many persons the why and where
fore are still much of mystery.
The atmosphere which surrounds
our earth is like great sea, constantly
heaving and tossing In waves more or
less immense.
This is due to several causes The
rotation of the earth on its axis is one
cause; but the main cause is changes
of temperature. If the temperature
of the air were the same everywhere,
the atmosphere would be in equilib-
rum, and a calm would always pre-
vail, but while one portion is being
heated another Is cooling, and in con-
sequence the equilibrium is disturbed /;
this causes a movement of the air from
the cold to the warm region
When air is heated it expands, be-
comes light and rises, and as it flows
away in the upper regions causes a
depression which SCALED the area of
the low barometer because as the
column of mercury in the tube exactly
balances column of air of equal di-
ameter, the mercury falls as the pres
sure decreases
Now. as the atmosphere, like water,
is always trying to seek its level, the
air from the area high barometer
that is, the area where the pressure is
great-will always flow toward the
area of low barometer, and endeavor
to fill up the depression. William
Alva in Golden Days.

Men without Names.

In work upon the prisons of Sibe-
ria, Mr.. Edgar Bculangier, French
engineer, who spent long time in the
service of the Trans-C Caspian railway,
describes a strange class of beings in
that country. They are the men who
do not know who they are.
No doubt many of these men merely
assume this ignorance, in order to
mystify the officials, but their identity
is IN many cases totally unknown to
the authorities and all their aequaint-
ances
The prison of Alexandrovsk, Mr..
Boulangier says, contains several of
these singular people. Now and then,
driven by hunger, vagabond comes
to the prison door and asks to be Ia
ken in.
"Ihave come TO deliver myself up"
says the vagaboud.
For what reason2 Who are you7"
Il don't know"
Il have forgotten it, it was SO long
ago."
Where is your passport"
Il have none"
Then you are brodiaga--a vaga-
bond; you have escaped from prison.
What crime were you in for;"
Il have forgotten"
Nothing more definite can be got
out of him Sometimes these vaga-
bond exiles accuse themselves of crimes
that they have not committed, in order
to make interesting journeys at the ex-
pense of the government. Frequently
their imposture is detected after they
have been transported long distances,
but who they really are the authorities
seldom ascertain. They are kept un-
der surveillance. and NJ. Boulangier is
of the opinion that they sometimes
really forget what their names are. =

PRAYING for Fine Weather.

In those countries where, unlike Cali
fornia, they have to pray for fine wealth
er, it needs sometimes a great deal of
faith to stick to the church. In Scotland,
for instance, one of the few really reiig-
ious countries in the world, large pro-
portion of the minister duty is to pray
for fine weather. There was a quiet
Scotch village where the farmers were
all in the dumps. The Scotch mist kept
coming down all the time, and it alter
mated with frequent very heavy storm.
The minister had prayed every Sabbath
for fine weather without avail for four
weeks He met an old farmer one day.
John" he said, ''this fearful weather's
nathing but a judgment o God on this
parish. Yer SIGH a wicked lot that the
Lords jist gaun to punish ye."

A child was born in Birmingham,
England, on Sept. 90, which bears Il
strong resemblance TO frog. Its skin
is warty and cold and clammy to the
touch; when it cries it makes an I'M
earthly cracking noise. There are three
fingers on each hand and four toes on
each foot. Besides the points enumer-
ated it has many other characteristics of
frog, even to huge, knotty looking, lid
less eyes. The parents are almost dis
tracted over the occurrence and hourly
pray for it to die.

Probably you never beard of it before,
but the water of the Gulf stream is con-
fidently believed by certain old people on
Staten Island to be sovereign remedy
for disorders of the stomach. They drink
half glassful after each meal, smack
their lips, and in about three days they
get well. So they say. So pilots and
other seafaring men who get out to the
Gulf stream are frequently importuned
to bring in jugs of the gulf water for
the invalids. There is saloon keeper
down there whose faith in this sort of
thing is unlimited, and he has been be-
sieging for about three years a certain
pilot of his acquaintance to bring him in
some of the water. But the pilot always
forgot.
The other day, however, he tickled the
old man almost to death by bringing
him three jugs of the precious liquid.
The saloon keeper began to brace up at
once. and three days later he chased the
pilot half way around the island to over
whelm him with gratitude.

pilot.

been running about an hour that even

and dipped up about a gallon of the
