THE SALVATION ARMY.
From its very first introduction into this
country the Salvation Army has paid great
attention to the work in Washington, and
constantly kept a strong detachment of its
best men and women here The National
Capital is known as the division of Wash

B. Pebbles, who has his Headquarters at 92S

Corps, numbering together something over
100 officers and soldiers. who divide the work
among them. They are all clad in the taste
ful uniform of the Salvation Army, and
among them are any number of keen, intelli-
gent young men, and bright handsome
young women. Several unusually pretty
and very modest girls wearing the uniform,

What contrals the Winds.

Editor National Tribune: Please answer
in The National Tribune, Why are the
prevailing winds always from northeast,
southeast, southwest or northwest, in
stead of from either Of the four cardinas
points OF the compass?-Chas. NJ. Gallup,
Mystic, Conn.
"A particle of air at the equator is OF
course carried forward by the west to east
movement of the earth at the same speed
as the earth, or about 600 miles an hour.
At any point north or south OF the equator
the transitional movement is slower, and
a wind blowing either north or south
tends to drift to the east. Similarly a
wind blowing south from the pole, where
there is no transitional movement,
towards the equator, where such move
ment is very rapid, tends to lag to the
west. Furthermore, as north, east, south
and west are merely points, while north
east, southeast, southwest and north
west cover the entire circle, the chances
are always in favor of a wind blowing
from one of the latter.-Editor Nationa<

perate act. He did not deny his feeling and
loyalty to the Southern cause, but believed
that it was hopelessly lost, and the further
effusion Of blood was sinful.
