Beginning of Our Understanding OF
Storms.

In the year 1921 severe storm pre-
vailed along the Eastern coast, which
for many years was known rs the
"great September gale" 1t held that
title until September, 1869, when ait
other and more remarkable one oc-

claim TO the honor. 1t was little
time after this first storm that Red.

Massachusetts, was struck by u some
what curious fact. lie noticed that
in Massachusetts the trees prostratcd
by the wind, ali lay with their heads
to the southeast, showing that the
gale there was from the northwest (;
but in Connecticut the trees blown
down in the same storm lay head 10
the northwest, showing that the gale
had been southeast one. lie ascer-
tanned, moreover, that when the wind
was blowing southeast in Middle
town, his home, IL was northwest at
n place not seventy miles from there.
1t was then that the idea flished
across his mind that the gale was
progressive whirlwind. That was a
great thought. 1t was such a flash of
perception as came 10 Newton when
lie connected the falling apple with
the planets IN space. IL was such an
insight into the meaning of fact rs

possibilities of the force that was

What though our skies be overcast
And clouds OF trouble lower?
Though disappointments crowding fast,
Seem life's ungrateful dover?
Though trials throng upon our way,
Shall we succum TO sorrow!
No! Let us gather hope, and say.
The light will break tomorrow
Though fcklc Fortune hides her face
Our brave endeavors scorning,
Aud robs us of some promised grace
Without a moments warning,
Let US not trcmble at her frown
Nor care and trouble borrow,
But crush our dark forebodings down
The light will break tomorrow
Ecyond the shadows OF tho night
The welcome sun is shining,
The clouds that loom upon our sight
Have all a silver lining;
The darkest hour preccdes the dawn,
And joy succeeds to sorrow
The longest night will yet be gone,
And light will break tomorrow!

WHERE COLUM BUS DIED,
Tho House stii Stands. Although
Crumbling Into Decay.

Crumbling Into Decay.
On the Gale de Colon, a dingy,
narrow old street In Valladolid,
about 200 yards long, stands the
house in which Columbus died,
although fast crumblins Into decay,
The fact that IL does stand Is not
due to any effort taken for Its
preservation, but rather to the solid.
lty of its construction. Ii Is of con.
siderable size, and was, no doubt,
originally constructed for some per
son of rank and position. The en-
trance Is through a great Norman
archway OF stone, and the entrance
nall Is spacious, while tie staircase
Is broad and its incline so gentle
that one might almost drive up It.
The basement OF the building Is Of
stone, though the upper stage is o.
brick, covered with stucco--or a.
much stuccO as has survived tht
ravageS OF time. The outer wall,
are massive, and their interior is, nc
doubt, composed Of species of con
crete, or mixture OF mortar, pebble.
md fragments of stone, which flgureI
strongly in all old Spanish struct
ures.
No nation in the world, perhaps
has less respect or appreciation fol
the antique and time-honored than
have the Spaniards. The house
where Columbus died is now used az
constable. Above the stone arch.
way is a time-stained medallion,
bearing mans head, standing Out
In bold relief on the stucco. I'm.
aerneath is the cngraven inscription
"Aqui murlo Colon-Ano 1906"
(fIere died Columbus, year 15O6.l
Close to this hangs small sign
board, with the following inscrip
ton: New milk sold here; you may
sec 1t milked." An old woman liy
ing there gives tourists some infor
nation.
Upon entering the ancient struct.
nre one steps into the spacious en-.
trance hall, which is pitched with
small pebbles. On either side Is a
large doorway, but the doors have
been removed, and through the open.
lngs one can see the cows standing in
rows, Twenty cows are stabbed in
the lower part Of the house. The
cowman and his family live ur
stairs. One Is quickly led into
large room overlooking the street
the room where Columbus died. The
windows are furnished with massive
Iron gratings, as, indeed, are all the
windows In the house. A thin par
tition, running half way across the
room, forms small recess or alcoba,
In which is an old wooden bedstead,
with wretchcd straw pallet and 1
scanty covering of old clothes. On
such bed, probably, died the great
discoverer in poverty and desolation
In the middle Of the partition is q
little square window, through which
anyone sleeping in the alcoba might
see III any one entered the room.
The walls, bare and discolored with
age, look as II they had not beer
whitewashed for at least a century.
The floor is of square earthen ties,
the same on which Columbus trod
four centuries ago. In this room hs
was for long time prisoner. II
that alcoba, where the cowman and
his wife sleep every night, the great
discoverer died. Near the head O.
the bed the form OF a cross hai
been scratched with some sharp In
strument deep in the plaster OF the
wall. Tradition says that Columbus
made the cross.
