A STRANGE ISLAND.
Curious Climatic Conditions on SAX.
halin, In Siberia.

curious Climatic Conditions on SAX
haIin, In Siberia.
Sakhalin, on the eastern coast
Of Siberia, presents a very curious
anomaly of climate The island is
bathed by two cold ocean currents,
and in winter nothing protects it
against the icy northwest winds
coming from Siberia. At the sea
level the snow falls continually and
stays on the ground till the end Of
May, and the seashore is very cold.
Farther inland, however, especially
as We go higher up, the climate is
modifed-just the opposite to what
is observed elsewhere. 1t has often
been observed in Siberia and in
central Europe that in winter the
cold is greater in the plains and
the valleys, and that the highlands
have a sensibly milder temperature.
1t is as if the denser cold air accumu-
lated in the lowlands. This fact is
very often observed in our climate.
There are several very good ex-
amples of it. All the trees and
shrubs of valley have been known
to be killed by frost, while above
a certain level, very clearly marked
out, on the hill OF the mountain, the
vegetation has not suffered at all.
The cold air often flows from the
SUBMITS toward their bases. This
is what takes place at Sakhalin.
The cold air accumulates in the low
regions of the island and on the
coast. The higher regions have a
more elevated temperature. So it
happens that the lower parts have
an arctic vegetation, while the in
termediate attitudes have the vege-
tation of a temperate zone, some
times subtropical.
The birch, the ash, the pine, the
fir abound in the low regions and
form often impenetrable forests,
but toward the center of the island
appear bamboos, hydrangeas, azaleas
and other plants that one is greatly
surprised to meet and whose pres
ence can be explained only by the
altogether abnormal climatic condi-
tons of the island.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infa1ned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

up the game many men played for

cred tennis courts were erected, and
nearly all the nobility played, in

was a devoted follower of tennis,
and Henry VIII. was also fascinated
by the sport. The first royal tennis

for a partner, against the Prince of
Orange and the Marquis de Bran

person to adopt a tennis costume.

IT is quite evident that our
friend Jim Howerton of the Cuero
Record belongs to the rank of Be
nedick and has to foot the bills.
Like others of that class, the COM
ing of spring, beautiful spring, in
spires him with anything but poet
ic rejoicing, as the following
squibs from the Record shows:
Some men about this time of
year become possessed of shy :,
hrnted look. 1t leaves them af-
ter Easter.
The milliners are adjoining their
windows with poems and dreams.
But they cannot be disassociated
from the sordid clink of coin.
Most women are gifted with X
ray eyes when it comes to discern
ing the contents of a mans pocket.
