through the Straits of Florida, and
having done that 1t inundated the city
OF Galveston, where 1t met the ordin-
airy conditions Of weather and was de-
fected up to Milwaukee. The storm
now is probably sweeping of some
where in the vicinity Of the north pole.
Many tidal waves have fallen upon
the western coast of America, both
south and north. These so-called
tidal waves are not really tidal waves,
but are caused either by seismic dis
turbances or by great storms. A gen
eral progress of waves of this kind
is eastward. Tidal waves are as fxed
and as eternal as the gulf stream.
Those great rivers of the ocean flow
from time to time and no one shall
know their bounds, but these disturb
ances Of the ocean such as over
whelmed Galveston are matters which
the weather bureau of the United
States alone can take care of.
There has not been disaster OF
analogous nature to that of Calves
ton except that Of the sea islands of
the Carolinas and Georgia since st.
Thomas was almost destroyed. The
harbor of Charlotte Aemlia, the crater
of an extinct volcano, was swept by
a so-called tidal wave, which took
every ship in the harbor and landed
them either against the mountain
sides or the crevices of the foothills.
That wave was due, it was supposed,
to an earthquake, but it must have
been submarine earthquake, for the
land Of the island was not shaken An
other remarkable so-called tidal wave
was that which took the store
ship Wateree about three miles inland
from africa and landed her between
two small hills. which made it i'm
possible for the United States to get
to it without expending more money
than the ship was worth. There have
not been such disasters due to cumu-
lative waves as that which took place
in Galveston since africa and St.
Thomas were overwhelmed.

able that 1t would make q rvature
north-northeast. But the storm swept
westward, bringing with it the waves
Of the Gulf of Mexico, till 1t struck
Galveston, then made the curve which
is shown on the map, and struck the
Great Lakes. The damage to the
crops in the various states which it
crossed was great. On Sept IL the
remnants Of the storm were rushing
up the ST LAWRENCE valley: Had it
not been for the Establishment Of the
stations in the Lesser Antilles, which
were put in operation after the Span
ish-American war, the weather bureau
could not have foreseen 80 far the
progress Of the, storm. The establish
ment OF the West Indian stations is
approved by all the people in the
United States. The establishment of
those stations has shown their value
when 1t is taken into consideration
that the millions of dollars damage
done In Galveston might have been
so much greater had not the forewarn-
ing of the department of agriculture
made many ships get into harbor.
There is no port in the United States
that cannot say it was not warned of
the approach Of this storm. OF course
the storm was most erratic. Usually
a storm will follow the course of the
gulf stream, and when it strikes the
Florida straits 1t will go forth across
the broad Atlantic and waste it's en-
ergy upon the shores Of Europe.
This storm. which started south of
San Domingo, violated the rules and
regulations Of most storms which have
had their origin in the gulf or the
Caribbean. Instead of going east, as
1t should have done, and as every we'll
regulated storm has done, it kicked up
a row with the gulf stream, rushing

Sweet Singer of Dublin.

An interesting. and almost histori-
cal, figure passed away in Dublin on
July II. Mrs. Edward Jeal was one
of the most gifted OF a very accom-
plished band of amateur singers, which
made Dublin music famous in the 40's
and SOS. She was the niece of the
celebrated Lady Morgan, the reputed
original Of Becky Sharp. Her voice
was almost unique. for she cultivated
1t into a tenor. which, although small
in quantity, was singulariy sympa-
tnetic in quality. Her vocalization of
Italian music. more especially that of
Rossini. was exceptionally finished.
For years she was conspicuous in Dub
lin circles for her brilliant wit and
artistic temperament She was al
most. If not quite. a centenarian.

Amphibious Hawaiians,

In the Hawaiian islands the natives
may almost be said to be an amphibi-
Gus race of people, spending more
time on or in the water than on the
land, and where they becolre adopts
at swimming and playing on the water
from babyhood. The mothers take
their babies from the breast and lay
them on the surface of the water. en-
couraging them to kick about as if
lying on their mats OH shore. The
children take to the water like duck
lings, and can swim long before they
can walk; indeed, they are much fond
er of swimming than of walking, at
all ages. The tiniest mites mere ba-
bies-carry on their games in the wa
ter, and the only assistance they make
to be initiated into the use Of tie ca
noes is an unhusked cocoanut, holding
on to which they often venture far out
into the surf.

Phosphorescent Sea Monster.

In the aquarium of the Calcutta ZOO
logical society is a monster crab, re-
Gently captured in the Indian ocean,
that is attracting the attention of the
scientists. The huge crustacean was
caught mile from shore. It's body is
nearly two feet in diameter and it's
claws are more than a yard long. 1t
has enormous eyes that protrude in
such way as to give it very fero-
cious appearance. The habits of the
creature justify it's looks, for on being
placed in large vessel filled with sea
water and which contained fifty crus-
taceans and other fishes it devoured
the living contents in about two
hours. The most remarkable thing
about the giant crab, however, is that
at night it emits phosphorescent
sparks of milky whiteness which make
bright the entire vessel.

vancement in the Professions.
The regulations of the German gov
eminent as to woman's place in the
learned professions are exceedingly
liberal. For some time past they have
not been technically barred from the
Aight of being doctors, dentists, etc.,
but the chances of training were so
limited that only very few women
could avail themselves Of the privi-
leges thus afforded. The establish

Berlin, Leipsic, Hanover, Konigsberg,
Stuttgart and others has civen to

CURED in order to enter upon the uni
yersity training which is needed to-
qualify for any learned profession
The universities admit women if not
as full students, at least to the lee
lures. The position of dentist requires
two years university training only, as
against five years for medicine, which.
easily explains the preponderance of
fully qualified dentists over doctors.
In the whole of Germany there are, it
is said, only nine female doctors, six
of whom practice in Berlin, one in
Frankfort, one in Leipsic and one in
Munich.

would not have been able to have pre-
dicted the coming of the storm had it
not been for the West Indian stations.
Two days after the storm center had
been located definitely by the West In

Galveston had been decided compare
lively. Warnings were sent out for
the northern coast and for the south
ernNcoast Two days previous to the
location Of the storm center in the
Caribbean Sea south of San Domingo
the abnormal falling pressure and the
abnormal cirrus clouds had given slight
premonition Of the approaching dis
turbances.
On Sept. the storm gathered in

moved slowly to the northwest. 1t

the trade winds and tidal currents. On

Here is Z discovery: A thin, black
india silk handkerchief tied over the

ance Of the early morning glare to
which in their bedrooms most persons
are now subjected. This is an army
trick, commonly practiced on the
plains and in camp by those desiring

officers scorn this expedient, others like

that she does not possess black silk
handkerchief. in which case she pins
black stocking over her eyes instead
And frequently her husband is not

are most needed. Then. even in the
event of having these luxuries in hoi

them because Of the amount of al,

Every one knows in the migration from
town to country how annoying the
early morning light is to the city-bred,
particularly the women who do not
have to rise at the first crow of the
cock in order to catch train to bust
ness. Those people who are summer
ing in hotels and boarding houses COM
monty occupy rooms with whitewashed
or very light papered walls, and this
reflects the strong light, which by 4
o'clock these summer mornings begins
to turn the sleeper into wakeful,
restless creature, who. If he or she
have blinds, gets up and closes them,
! but is forced for lack of air to at least
leave the shutters open, whereby too
much light enters. And frequently
| there is so little air that to bar out
any of it, even by drawn blinds with
open shutters, is out of the question.
