In considering these facts line of induc-
tive reasoning brought Franklin to the con-
cluSion that the wind always blows toward
the center of the storm: that the northeast
hurricane which Boston and Philadelphia
had experienced was caused by the suction
exercised by an advancing storm eddy from
the southwest. which drew the air rapidly
from Boston toward Philadelphia. while the
source of the attraction-the center of the
storm eddy-wss yet a thousand miles to

the center of the storm eddy advanced near

wind reached TIE conditions OF a hurricane;
that the wind between Boston and Phila-

YALE MEN BITTER.
Will Not Discuss Their Defeat at
Princeton Saturday.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 13.-The Yale
football eleven returned from Princeton to-
night. They were a disappointed looking lot
of men and refused to discuss Saturdays
game at all. Durston was perhaps the
sorest man of the squad, in mind at least.
From what the substitutes had to say it is
evidently the sense of the squad that Ours
ton was not blamable for the unfortunate
tumble; that he believed the ball to be
down" but that somehow the Princeton
end gained it and since Captain Chamber
lain followed him down the field he could
not very well dispute the play. Neither
Captain Chamberlain nor the coachers, how
ever, would make any statement. Yale men
generally take defeat in the right spirit and
say that though the score against her is a
victory for Princeton they cannot feel that
it represents the playing of the two elevens,
nor their ability. The physical condition of
the men In several instances was apparently
not so good as the coachers had believed
on the morning of the game. None of the
men who played in Saturdays game is any
the worse for it. They are all more or less
bruised, but are fit to go into practice to-
morrow.
