the encircling heights collected the
cloudbursts and poured the waters in

sweeping them into the bay.
These facts cannot fail to convey a
vivid idea of the details and a good
comprehension of the infinite force Of
the cyclone may be gathered from the
fact that Fort Charlotte, massive
castle on promontory protecting the
city and port, was thrown into ruins.
The story from Barbados is even
more terrible. That island, which has
an area OF but 100 square miles, is
practically fiat. Its so-called hills"
are little more than gentle undula-
tions, and are in no way calculated to
impose any shelter from winds. The
daily trade-wind searches out every
nook and Granny; and the whole is
land is equally exposed to the cyclones

of the normal area of these phenom-
ena, and hitherto at the worst has

is called. This was the case in 1878,
and even in 1850, when the track of the
storm passed obliquely, and but par

this fact is Of invaluable significance.
Before going into details of the
present visitation, it may be we'll to
briefly review the hurricane history
of the West Indies. Taking them one
with another, it is no exaggeration to
say that hurricanes of one sort or an
other sweep the Caribbean sea every
year between July and October At
least 200 have been mentioned in his
tory since colonization on a perma-
nent and systematic basis was com
menced. OF these, however, not above
a score have been found worthy of
the general historians special atten-
ton. They occurred in the following
years: 1874. rs, 80 and '96; 1712, ~, 20.
so, 81 and SO; and during the present
century in 1912, 'l3. 10, '21 and 81
Each one of these, and some half =
dozen others that took place previous
ly or since, was marked by some spe-
cial feature, but was more or less cir
cumscribed in area. Thus in that of
1872 the awful phenomenon of the
tidal wave was first noted. AT Kings

the accompaniment of the earthquake

West Indian scourge a series of earth
quakes rent and shattered the massive
stone hurricane refugees and buried
the terrified occupants in the ruins.

clearly indicate that the magnitude OF
the disaster approximates that OF the
overwhelming visitation of 1880.

disaster was confined to Jamaica.
Within a month series of earth
quakes completed the destruction,
and owing to the American war timely
aid was not forthcoming, which con-
tributed TO making this one of the
greatest disasters from which the is
land has ever suffered.
But far and away the most terrible,
both in actual effects and in area af-
fected. of all the elemental disturb
ances that have made havoc in the
sunny isles of the Caribbean, was the
seven days long cyclone-or, properly,
a series of them-that ragged with un-
precedented fury from the western
end of Jamaica eastward to Barha-
dos, between October and 10, 1880.
In Jamaica an entire town (Sav-la-
MARI was ruined by the storm and the
ruins swept away by a tidal wave.
Earthquakes accompanied the cy-
clones in their track, and in most of
the islands confagrations broke out
amid the ruined towns. In Martinique
and Barbados the loss of life was most
appalling, the figures being respective
ly 1000 and 1926. In both these is
lands and Jamaica a fearful pestilence
followed that swept away thousands.
In st. Vincent the settlements were
entirely wiped out and the colonists
had to commence de novo.
Whilst this years storm covered at
least half the area of that of 1880, st.
Vincent and Barbados are the greatest
sufferers. So far as known the loss
of life is not nearly so considerable,
being possibly less than one-tenth. On
the other hand, the material destruc-
ton is greatly in excess. st. Vincent
seems to have suffered just as COM

OUR FRIENDS The GERMANS.
Bonds That Connect Us with the
FatherIand which VIII Not
Be Easily Broken.

To war against Germany would be to
war against our own flesh and blood.
No European country, with the excep-
ton of Great Britain, has so large
representation in our citizenship as the
Fatherland. In the decade ending with
1890, over 100000 immigrants came to
US from Germany, more than fourth
of the total immigration from all Eu-
rope in that period. Several of our large
cities, including Cincinnati and Mil
waukee, have larger percentage of
German-born citizens than of all other
foreigners put together. And these
people are among our most loyal, sub
stantial and valuable citizens. They
are not wanting in love for the land of
their birth, but they love the land of
their adoption still more. They are
true Americans.
A common lave of learning is an
other strand in the bond uniting us
with the German people. Nowhere in
the world is the leadership of Germany
in various fields of scholarship so fully
and frankly recognized as in the United
States. We send many of our brightest
young men to sit at the feet of her
greatest teachers and to drink deep at
her springs of learning. We glory in
her unparalleled achievements in the
domains of science and philosophy. To-
ward the country of Goethe and Schil-
Ter, of Luther and Humboldt, we can
never be set in hostile array.
Butstronger, perhaps, than any other
strand is the bond that unites us with
Germany in our common trade inter-
est. The shuttles of commerce, flying
swift and fast across the seas for
hundred years. have woven us together
by golden threads that may not easily
be severed. Last year we sent Germany
breadstuffs, manufactured products
and other articles to the value of $780,
7s4,453. Germany sent us back in ex-
change chemicals, cloth and other need
full things to the value of $111,2io,614.
With no other country except Great
Britain does our volume of trade reach
such proportions as this. We export to
Germany more than twice as much as
we do to France. and more than twelve
times as much as we do TO Spain. And
the volume of trade between America
and Germany is more evenly balanced
than between us and any other country
in the world. We take nearly as much
as we give. A friendship based on such
considerations as these will not be
| lightly broken.-Leslie's Weekly.
