They say that in certain parts of the
world. notably about the Cape de Verde
Islands, there are constantly met at sea-

the atmosphere and are very injurious to
navigation. but they have not the baleful
odor of their London prototypes nor do
they affect the breathing in the same way.
While sailing through them it is found
that the ship, sails and rigging are covered

however, that the British team has been

has shown poor form. He took part in the

will redeem himself, but should his form

 The rector glanced gloomily at the darkening sky. and thought that proba- bly there would be frost that night. But he could not long think of frost and other unpleasant possibilities un- der the skillful manipulation of his charming little neighbor.
 He hesitated at her gate. and again crocuseS triumphed over creed. The crocuses were 1ourishing finely; the creeds took back seat-indeed a very uuobtrusiye seat in the rector's mem- ory.
