Evidence in British Metropolis of
AngIo-Russian Entente.
4 Russian craze Is sweeping over
London, probably the outcome of the.
Anglo-Russiau entente, the London
correspondent of the New York Sun
says. Russian art is popular. Nusco-
vitc embroideries, Caucasian silver
war; and ivory are prominently dis
played in West End shop windows
and translations Of Russian authors
find ready sale
10 the popularity of Russian cook
cry the menus of the fashionable res
taurants bear witness. Especially in
the musical world Russian dancers
find a warm reception here and great
crowds gather to listen to concerts
given by the imperial ''baIalika" or
chesTa, which discomses on the
three-stringed instruments airs Of the
land of the ear. A Russian peasant
choir is the next thing to be intro
duCed to LOndoners.
British financial enterprise in Rus

say, is destined to play a large part
in the city activity OF the next year
or two. Lord Revelstoke, the head 81

EVOLUTION OF A TYPHooN.

Explanation From Newspaper Re-
porting the First of the Season.
In recording the first typhOOn OF
the present season. which occurred
somewhere in the neighborhood oA
Haiphong, a seaport in Tongking. a
local newspaper gives an interesting
account Of how a typhoon is formed
the Pail Mall Gazette says.
1t begins in a very small way The
day is exceedingly hot and the at
mOsphere expands and rises As this
hot column of air rises, cooler all
rushes in all sides to take it's place
and as the heated air continues to
ascend. 1t cools, and then presses
down on the air under it, forcing the
latter to rush in more rapidly to take
the place Of the recently ascended hot
air. The ascending column Of air
being acted upon the suns rays, in
creases its velocity and circumfer
ence, and in q short time it is several
miles in diameter, and rushes upward
at increased speed. Then the thrush

ameter keeps on increasing till the
rotary motion extends perhaps a
thousand or more miles in circumfer
ence.
At first the connection has been al
most stationary. Now it attains two
motions, one round its axis and the
other along a course in which the ty
phoon commits great havoc. So lone
as there are no obstacles in the way
the course Of tire typhoon is pretty
regular but when it reaches land it
is liable to be DETECTED or broken up,
though a mariner knows that when he
faces the wind in his locality the cen
ter Of the Cvph0on is then eight points
or so to his right, though IN the south
eru hemie here, it is on his left. In
tine center of the typhoOn the~e IS
perfect calm, but the wind increases
farther out. Farther out still il viii
not be so bad.
An instrument called a baro -vcIo-
nometer has been invented. which ad-
serves the purpose. for, by
its aid the accurate position and oil
rection OF the typhoon can be found
