PRESSURE OF THE WIND.
Extent of Resistance Necessary to
Withstand Storms

London News: The year 1897 will be
distinguished in meteorological records
for it's storms of wind. 1t may be
doubted whether anything more ire
mendous than the hurricane which
devastated considerable part of Essex
this year has ever been experienced,
and very rarely have We had rougher
times than we have gone through this
winter. 1t is difficult to compare the
present with the past in this respect.
The thermometer was invented in 1905,
and everything before that in the way
of record was necessarily very dubious
and unreliable. There are no means of
judging how the great Essex storm this
autumn. for instance, would compare
with the famous storm which swept the
Eddystone lighthouse away in L. in
point of velocity of wind. The mere
destruction of property or life would.
OF course. afford no criterion as to what
The Essex storm was curiOusly local in
it's effects, whereas the terrible ~risita-
ton in 1903 seems to have involved the
whole country. 1t is said that by land
and on sea Immediately round our
coasts no less than 5000 lives were lost
in that one storm. In the valley of the
Severn $1,000 sheep were drowned and
in the county of Kent alone Il 900 trees
were rockoned to have been torn up by
the roots. Such figures show the wide
ly extended violence of the storm, but

UNREST IN KEY WEST.
Danger of An Uprising Against the
Spaniards There.

Key West, Feb. 25.-There is danger
here of an uprising against the Span
iards in Key West The people of this
town are fretting over the delay of the
government, and are each day growing
more and more intolerant here of the
presence OF the naval attache of the
Spanish consulate, Fernandez. He
boosted OF the power of his fellows in
Spain to blow the Maine out of the
water whenever they desired, and has
frequently exulted in public over the
disaster TO the Maine. He refused to
half-mast the flag over the consulate
on learning of the Maine disaster, al
though every other flag in Key West
was at half-mast.
Senator Proctor will leave today for
Havana Although he disclalms hav-
ing been sent on any special mission by
the president there is good ground for
the belief that he will be in possession
OF a vast amount of valuable informa-
ton when he returns.
I cannot believe" said the senator,
that 600 people have died as re-
suit OF Weyler's order. That would be
a large proportion of the total popula-
ton OF the island"

FEARS FOR THE FRENCH LINER
La CHAMPAGNE SHOULD HAVE
ARRIVED SUNDAY.
Steamer Bremerhaven Saw a Vessel
Feb. 10 at Sea Which Looks Very
Like the Missing Steamer.

New York, Feb 25.-At o'clock this
morning the overdue French line
steamer La Champagne from Havre
had not been sighted nor had anything
been heard of her. Agent Bernado and
local officials at the dock and officers
of the French line still deny that the
company is at all apprehensive about
La. Champagne, which should have ar
rived last Sunday.
The passengers booked to sail from
New York on La Champagne tomorrow
will be sent on La Bretagne.
The Dutch tank steamer Bremen

noon from Antwerp, reports that on
Feb. 10 in latitude 43, longitude A, she
passed steamer, apparently a French
man. She was almost stopped and was
heading northwest. She had two masts
and two tunnels. Regulation lights were
burning, but no signals were displayed.
1t is quite probable the Frenchman

too dark to see if such were the fact
The weather. had been very stormy

there was no doubt in his mind as to
the identity of the vessel.
Mr.. Rocande, the New York agent of
the French line, said the description
of the steamer seen by Captain MINES
fitted that of La Champagne precisely.
He looked much pleased and relieved,
and said that he had not the slightest
doubt of her identity.
Moreover, it seemed to him she was

track of ocean liners. He was of the
opinion from the fact that no signal for

breakdown was sustained by her was
not of a serious character.
He believed the steamer would be in
port in a couple of days.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

New York Press: No woman is ever
angry when a man tries to kiss her till
the man pretends he thinks she really is.
Some women have the nerve to go to a
wedding and then say they are so sorry
for her poor. lonely mother.
A girl viii always forget to name a
penalty when she eats philopena in hopes
the man will claim it was a kiss.
When a woman talks so much that she
makes the rest seem nice by contrast, all
the other women say she is so nice and
vivacious.
The reason why the average wo.nr n
marrieS the man she does is because
some other man she would rather have
never asks her.
Probably the man who says he can
never see why nature made man with a
vermiform appendix is the same one that
always wears a shirt with a little Zap
sewed on below the bosom which he
never uses with a buttonhole IN it.

Becomes General.

came over were mainly tourists.
The exodus will become general. it is
thought, by next week. when the har-
Dor will be without an American ship

The Mascotte replaces the steamer
Olivette, while the latter is laid up
temporarily fer repairs Out of the 70
passengers from Tampa only about a
dozen went on to Havana. The traffic
