WHERE CYCLONES ARE BRED.

For the world west Of the Mississippi
the Rocky Mountains are the points OF
origin not only Of the rivers and water
flows. but of the condensing of the mois-
ture of the air, the banked SHOWS, the sub
terranean currents which form the basis
of the entire watershed. Their cold alti-
tudes seem to shed the waves of which

the wind whips the flags of the roofs OF
lofty buildings or when dark clouds lower

yet, though the Rocky Mountains are
the beginning of such awful things as
cyclones and Billiards, they are singularly
immune from the terrible effects of these
phenomena, when they reach their fun
growth on the plains below. The storms
are sharp strong and typical. They are
dramatic. But, lacking in the chance Of
a long run across the plains. where force

We're lost in a cloudburst near Morrison,
Col, in the spring Of 1897. Some people
were camping along the borders of the
stream, and, as il was just after dark
and had been raining heavily. they had
sought the shelter of their tents. Sud
denly they heard the awful and peculiar
roar of the approaching cloudburst. 1t
grew louder every second. Realizing
what had happened the unfortunate
campers-men. women and children
rushed from their tents and tried to
reach the higher ground. In the con-
fusion and darkness some turned the
wrong way and were soon struggling in
mad torrents, battling with tree trunks
and wrecks of cabins and immense masses
of moving stone in the bosom of the flood.
Thirteen lives went out in tina. dire night.

Decay of Westminster Abbey.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
The latest reasons alleged for the ac-
CELEBRATED decay Of some of the stone Of
Westmins ter Abbey is 'the smoke from
the factories across the water" There is
certainly not as much factory smoke
either in Paris or in Brussels as there Is
in London, yet within the memory of some
or the Oldest inhabitants of these capitals
there never was a period when either
Notre Dame, ST. Eustache or 81. Gudule
was free from scaffoding. And whatever
may DE the case now. there was no factory
smoke in the time of Sir Christopher
Wren, who pointed out that the decay
was four inches deep and fell off perpet-
ually in large scales. Seven centuries
OF wear in a country where the winter of
discomfort is not always made glorious
by the summer sun of York, or any other
sun, are quite sufficient to disintegrate
the finest material, and it is a widely
known fact that the pile was erected with
inferior material. The subsequent addi-
tons, except those Of very recent years
were not superior and it may be that tina
repairing has had the effect of new
patch on an old shoe, /. e.. torn The Old

old often produces such results.
