Explanation from Newspaper Re-
porting the First Of the Season.
In recording the first typhoon Of the
present season, which occurred some
where in the neighborhood Of Hal.
phong, a seaport in Tongking, local
newspaper gives an interesting &C,
count Of how typhoon Il formed, the
Pail Mall Gazette says. d
{ It begins In very small way. The
day Is exceedingly hot, and the atmos-
phere expands and rises. As this hot
column of air rises, cooler air rushes
in all sides to take Its place, and a.
the heated air continues to ascend IL
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 afr, being acted
upon by the suns rays. increases Its
velocity and circumference. and in q
short time 1t is several miles In diam.
.eter, and PUSHES upward at increased
speed. Then the inrushing air be-,
gins to revolve, and the diameter
keeps on increasing till the rotary
motion extends perhaps q thousand
or more miles in circumference.
At first the commotion has been Al.
most stationary. Now 1t attains two.
motions, one round Its axis and the
other along a course In which the
typhoon commits great havoc. So long
as there are no obstacles In the way
the course OF the typhoon is pretty,
regular, but when It reaches land 1t is
liable to be DETECTED or broken up,
though mariner knows that when
he faces the wind in his locality the
center Of the typhoon Is then eight
points or 80 on his right, though in
the southern hemisphere 1t Is on his
left. In the, center of the typhoon
there is a perfect calm. but the wind
increases farther out. Farther out
still 1t will not be so bad.
An instrument called barocyclo-
nometer has been invented, with id.
mirably serves the purpose, for, by ito
aid, the accurate position and direc-
ton Of the typhoon can be found.

THE POETS FAITH.

To-day the world may pass him by
with needless haste, averted eye:
To-day the world may go unstirred
By all the witchery Of his word;
To-day the clamor Of the street
May drown his song so wild and
sweet; H.
To-day unto himself alone
His art melodious may be known;
The world untouched may go Its way,
Nor listen to HIS song to-day.
Yet does he murmur? Nay. not he;
He muses. on the days to be,
Upheld serenely by the faith
That though he die. there is no death.
For that immortal voice which rings
Through cen the llghtest song he
The faith that though all flesh mus,
fade,
The beauty which his soul has made
VIII never perish: but live on
To win the world when he is gone;
The faith that when he's dead, tina,
Old needless world win breathe hi.

Protectins Your Fruit Tre.s.

Protesting Your Fruit TFeoA.
There are many homemade RENE
dies that are effectual The mounding
Of earth about the base Of the trunks
IL all that many OF the most advanced
growers provide. Others feel that the
little extra cost Of protectors and the
short time required to put them on
.is not to be compared with the insur-
ance that their trees get thereby. This,
Of course. may be Influenced by the
number Of the pests in the different
localities, es In some places the dan.
ger is not large and the mounding
would be all that could be asked, while
In other localities where the animals
are plentiful, or the sources OF food
for them 10 small, the danger IL null
tiplted and The extra precautions are
required. Usually where the protec-
tors are used mounds are also provid-
ed as the shedding Of the water away
from the crown of-the tree 10 advan-
tageous. The temptation to use tars,
and oils on the bodies Of the trees
should be discouraged unless the ma
terial has been tried out and the per.
son is aware Of what he is doing.
for oils and tars are often more detri-
mental to the trees than the rabbits
and mice, the substance penetrating to
the growing parts. killing the tissue
and destroying the trees. The writer
has seen a young orchard In which a
large number of the trees had been
killed by the application Of coal tar
to the trunks Of the trees. There was
no trouble from rabbits or mice, to be
sure; but the remedy did many times
the damage the animals could have
done.-Excanange.
