The perfection OF this is due to the

horizontal, and it travels forty-cight

of the nickel as it travels back and

Cause of storms.

cyclonic in character, not in the gem
orally accepted sense of empestuous
but as revolving. Nine oct of every
ten storms that blow down upon us,
he says, begin in the Northeast, and
move, in order, to the east, the south
east, and, finally, the northwest. They
make a revolution, and the storm is
spent when it reaches the northwest.
In the Southern Hemisphere the order
is reversed. The storm begins in the
southwest and changes in turn to the
west. the northwest and the southeast.
This last is the final stage. This reyo-
luton is caused by the way in which
storms are generated. A certain SPOT
becomes o~verheated, the hot air arises
and creates a vacuum, and then from
every point of the compass the cooler
air PUSHES in to fill the vacuum. and
owing to the earth's motion these air
currents are given a slightly reyolv-
Ing impulse. The result is a cyclone.
a hurricane is different. This is a
tempest. in which the wind blows in
one direction. The cyclone is of
greater or less degree Of force; the
hurricane is always violent.

But when, after he had lain in the hut

he daily went rubbing in the forest

The girl could have left the place at

q%uainted with woods life to understand
that v%enturing out into that trackless
forest was only a shade less rash than
suicide. So she stayed On and on at
the camp. hoping Ina at last some
hunter or lumberman would come
along that way. She knew how to
max and set traps. and she was able
to exist after Il fashion on rabbits and
small game, and on several occasions
she took Bubeer's rife and shot deer.
The presence of the hogs at the
camp saved her, for the animals had
multiplied, and she from time to time
killed one. She did this. however.

a rude skirt out of the blanket he car
ried. Then the two, without waiting
to Interview the idiot, started away
through the woods. A long trip on
foot for a person in her condition was
not to be thought OF. So Lacoot took
her to the hunting camp of Henry
West on Saponic stream. He left her
there to rest and to recover in some
degree from her bitter experience in
the forest. Then Lacoot posted away
to carry the startling news to Lambert
