"If weather charts representing a large

seen which change their forms and posi-

pressure marked off by concentric isobars
enclosing pressnres successfully lower till
the center is approached; and the other
system Of high pressure marged off by
concentrie isobars enclosing pressures
successfully higher toward the center.
The former OF these are called cyclones,

EPILEPSY AMONG COMPOSERS.
Many Notable Musicians Have Been Sub
tn Narrn1.a

Many Notable Musicians Have Been Sub
Ject to Strange Nervous Affections.
Handel. although he lived to old age,
was epileptic. Epilepsy has proved a
common disease among musicians, says
the New York Evening Sun. Hoffman,
Pergolese, Paganini, were epileptics.
Malibran relates that when she heard a
symphony of Beethoven's she fell into
commissions and had to be carried from
the place. Mozart was subject to such
nervous tremors that in carving meat
he used to cut his fingers. Berlioz said
that music threw him into nervous
states, accompanied by violent palpita-
tions of the heart that sometimes ended
IN complete unconsc iousness. Rossini
had unaccountable terrors about travel
ing by rail, and at the sight of cars fell
down in a faint. When questioned.
about it he said: eff l were not that
sort of man l could not have written
the Barber of Seville" Donizetti was
subject to the most violent RACES, and
once, after having terribly beaten his
wife, sat down and wrote one of his most
beautiful melodies. Beethoven was sub
ject to such mental alterations that he
would leave his coat and hat in the
woods and wander about without them.
Thus he was once arrested as tramp
and put in jail. Gluclz's loss of balance
was accompanied by intoxication. Hoff-
man lived in exhaustive ecstacies. Won
Bulow's eccentricities are to-day well
known. Sir Arthur Sullivan even, ac-
cording to his neignbors, is occasionally
seized with the whim of lighting his
house from garnet to cellar and, as if il
the midst of q fete, seating himself at

RAIN AT LAST,
The Terrible DestructivenesS OF q
fr0IRnn

The Terrible Destructiveness OF an Aus
tralian Drought.
The author Of Round the Compass
in Australia'' had put up for the night
with the manager of stock farm. 1t
was time of drought, and the evening
passed amid stories of frightful suffer-
ing and losses. The manager thought
it would be hardly possible to hold out
a week longer. "Shady Jacks well is
done,' he said, "Hnd the Frenchman's
tank is empty" His wife tried to en-
courage him.
Hope for the best" she said.
my oath!" answered the manager,
''but the best things never come off,"
Yes, Dick" responded his wife,
''but the worst things never come off. -
Night after night this man had
walked the room, alternating between
prayers and curses, as each days record
was another thousand sheep dead, an
other empty well, until at last he had
come to the grim courage of despair.
~ shouldn't carr so much" he said
to the traveller, but then my wife, my
girls in there!'
He drew his sleeve across his eyes,
and bowed his head on the table. For
ten minutes he sat there SO. Then the
visitor saw him raise his head, start,
spring to his feet, and listen with
strained attention. What was that?
Something pinged ON the corrugated
roof overhead.
Rain! rain! rain!' he shouted, as he
rushed outside, and fell on his knees
with his hands stretched out toward
the clouded sky.
"Thanlz God! Thank God! Wife.
Girls! Mary! Rain!"
Even so. The flood-gates of the sky
were opened, and before morning the
visitor was helping to put up dyke on
one side of the house. The march of
destruction was stayed.
