JUNIOR STORIES.
A HURRICANE IN THE WEST
INDIES,

A hurricane in the West Indies is
generally preceded by an awe-inspir-
ing stiffness in the atmosphere. The
air become close and heavy. The sun
is red, and at night the stars seem
unusually large. The mercury in the
barometer falls rapidly. and the Their
mometer usually indicates a rise in
the temperature. Darkness extends
over the earth, but the upper atmos-
phere is lightened up by the flashes of
lightning. The coming storm is first
observed On the sea. Huge waves rise
suddenly from it's still and motionless
surface. The wind blows with unre-
strained fury, and its noise may be
compared to distant thunder. The
rain descends in torrents. The rivers
overflow their banks and submerge the
plains. Land birds are driven far out
to sea. Sea birds seek refuge from the
fury of the storm in the forests. The
beasts of the field roam wildly about
The elephants seem to be thrown into
confusion. and the stability of nature
to be destroyed. Uprooted trees
branches torn from their trunks anC
ruins of houses are strewn over the
land.
