High Winds Rare In Rome.

Gales are very rare in Rome and
never blow with exetreme violence.
The most striking popularity of the
Roman climate Is the absence of high
winds. The air is pure and clear
owing to the almost complete abb.
sence of smoke even in the winter
months.
The average yearly movement of
the air is only five miles an hour.
This is of enormous advantage in win
ter, since the "tramontana" (north
wind), which is the prevailing wind
in this season, is If strong, decidedly
cold and bracing, but when under
eight miles an hour is delightful for
most people, including invalids. The
south winds are essentially sea
breezes. They frequently alternate
with the tramontana.
The sirocco (southeast wind)
which fortunately does not often blow,
is moist and enervating. It gives rise
to languor in most individuals

Shrubs Of Southern Mountains That
Go for No Known Reason.
In the southern mountains certain
flowers have been lost for nearly a
century and rediscovered by chance
in different locality, thriving and
abundant No one knows the cause
of their disappearance, by what
means they were removed, or why
they prefer their new habitat.
One curious feature is that these
vanished flowers or shrubs, are not as
a rule insignificant plants that one
might overlook. On the contrary, the
beautiful variety of sumach named
after Michaux, a French botanist,
which was lost so many years ago
and has only recently been found
again. bore great panicles of granny
blossoms first, and later on thick clus
ters of velvety and crimson fruit.

Another lost plant. also a shrub,
the elliottia, was a striking beauty. II
belonged to the heath family and had
long spikes of white blossoms, each
blossom shaped like a st. Andrews
cross, in vivid contrast with it's lus-
trous green foliage. It has now van
ished as completely as If it had never
existed
Some of the plants were fortunately
collected in 1878 by gentleman near
