Tho cnrse OF HYnternnnuts.

A waterspout is q meteorological pie
nomenon Of peculiar character, which Is
occasionally observed on land bnt usu-
ally occurs at sea. It consists of cone
shaped pillar of condensed vapor, which
descends. with the apex downward, from
dense cloud and at sea attracts a
somewhat similar cone in q reversed
position from the surface of the water
The two may not inaptly be compared
TO gigantic hourglass. The caqse Of
this phenomenon is supposed to bs the
gyratory movement of the air with such
swiftness rs to produce vacuum in the
axis of rotation and the contact Of the
lower extremity of such an axis with
water would effect the elevation o. O
column of the latter TO Il considerable
height The most probable solution of
the phenomenon is that v;;tarspouts
originate in adjacent strata of air of did
ferent temperatures, running in opEo-
site directions IN theup cgions Of The
atmosphere. They condense the vaa3r
and give it Il whirling motion. SO snat it
descends tnpcring to the sea below and
causes the surface of the water TO ascend
in pointed spiral till it joins that from
above. Brooklyn Eagle.

India For the Indians.

A Madras native gentleman waa onSe
asked BY Lord Roberts what he thought
of India for the Indians. He replied
Go TO the geological gardens and cue1
all the cages You will then see what
would bc the end OF India for the Ia
dians. There would be A. grand fight
among all the animals. with the result
that the tiger woaid walk over the dead
bodies of the rest" On being asked
whom he meant by the tiger. he replied,
1.-The Mohamnedan from the north"
The moral Of this alegory Of ray
friend, who was certainly one of tho
most enlightened native gentlemen I
have ever met with, was that India
could not be left TO herself. and that a
supreme power was necessary to hold
together the varied and various races.
