When at last his eyes are closed she
disengages the loving hand. kisses him

she sinks back into her chair and begins

their earth heap ready for the seasons

into the middle of it. Into this they get

young fowls burrow their way out of the

INDIAN CYCLONE MEMOIRS.

The meteorological department of the
Indian government has recently published
the results of an inquiry into the nature
and course of storms Ia the Arabian Sea.
These researches apparently show that the
cyclones are formed on the northern limits
Of the southwest monsoon. When the
netheIn limits of the monsoon reach the
land, and when the northeast monsoon ex
tends from Asia to the equator, no great
storm is generated in the Arabian sea.
The results of this inquiry are important
as showing that the real cause Of the cy-
clones is to be sought in the conflict of
the regular southwest monsoon current
with the opposing northerly currents NOV
ing from the Asiatic continent toward the
equator. According to the prevailing
theory, cylones are generated where there
are great vertical differences of tempera-
ture, giving rise to ascending currents
There are, however, no evidences of the
existence of such conditions in the Arabian
Sea at the periods of maximum stormi-
ness
