our wrong conception of the atmos.
phere. We think OF the changes as
going on in the air over us, we practically
forget that it is moving all he time, so that
our weather tomorrow depends, not so
much on what is going on III the air which
now enwraps us, as on what is going on IN
the air two or three hundred miles, or even
farther, away from us.
The inter esting weather in the DANISH
Islands last Friday afternoon and evening
has called orr attention to this point. Our
readeis viii rom"mber how, at that time II
very heavy Thunder storm passed over st,
Thomas, bringing torrents OF rain Tin al %
Iines). while over here in st. Croix all was
pencefu'; we saw the lightning in the dis
lance and for us it was only beautiful but the
st oIm was too far away to allow of our hearing
the grand reverberation8 of the thunder, and
Of the rain we unfortunately got none.
Without pretending to lie able to explain
this striking contrast between the simulta-
neous weather conditions in The two islands,
we find it of sufficient interest to deserve a
few remarks.
In the dusk of that evening our editor
noticed some light flashes, coming apparently
from east OF north. As darkness set in The
flashes increased in apparent brilliancy and
IN frequency. AT the same time the group
OF clouds from. which the flashes came Shift
ed slowly through north to northwest and
ut last appeared 10 die down farther to the
west, either from an actual decrease in the
force Of the storm OF from an increase of
the distance.
We may perhaps put down the thunder and
lightning as a result of the rain, for it is known
that electricity is produced by the condensa-
ton OF the moisture of the air. Such thunder
storms sometimes appear to arise in the open
ocean, especially in the equatorial belt, and
can only be explained generally rs due to
the excessive evaporation which takes place
there, and to the subsequent condensation.
But here, IN the Danish Islands, we have
to take into account the possible effect Of
the numerous islands to wind ward Of as in
starting rain storms that may perhaps reach
us. 1t would not be fair to quote the ex-
traordinary rainfall OF 1902, winch appeared
to be closely connected with great drifts
of cloud and volcanic ash from nj trtinique,
for the conditions were quite exceptional
but there can be no doubt that an island,
10y blocking the way, compels the lower air
to ascend, and, as Il consequence, to give up
lis moisture. That is why n mountainous
island like Dominica has two or three times
the rainfall Of n low island like ours. 1t is
true that the effect must generally be 10
send forward q dri0r current to leeward,
still we can suppose that there are sometimes
storms Of limited extent started by the IN
tluence Of an island, such storm drifting
away with the Trade Wind current and feed
ing itself rs " goes along. We do not INSIST
on it, but only suggest as q possibility, that
the ST. Thomas storm Of Friday the 9TH had
thus broken loose from over one of the is
lands IT, winlWard and had followed q mar

OPENED WEST POINT IN 1902
Great Training School Has Turned Out
Some Effieient Officers for
Uncle oom.

The selection of West Point as the
place for the national military acad.
emy was due, says Mrs. C. R. Miller in
Leslie's Weekly. to its advantages
from a military viewpoint. for its
rugged beauty and its severe climate
were calculated to be beneficial in the
foundation of that sort of character SO
essential to q successful officer. the
academy was formally opened July =.
1902, with ten cadets and five officers
as instructors. Its success is said to
be due to the administrative ability OF
General Sylvanus Thayer. who became
its superintendent in 1917 and served
a. such for Is years. This officer is
known as the Father Of West Point.
Since the opening Of the academy, IN.
cluding the class OF 1911. more than
five thousand officers have been gradu-
ated
A cadets education costs the gov
eminent about $500. All cadets are
on the same footing. The pay OF
cadet is 5000 year and one ration
per day, or Communication thereof at 30
cents day. The total is about $709.5O.
to commence with his admission to the
academy. Immediately after his ad-
mission the young man must spend
shout $3.50 for uniforms.
After graduation the cadet is eligi-
BILE to the rank of second lieutenant
and is appointed to whatever branch
Of the service his record entities him.
Those who are highest in class honors
are generally appointed to the engi-
neer corps.
An act Of congress authorizing the
expenditure of e6.so0.000 for the re-
construction Of the United States Mill
tary Academy was passed in June.
1902, and at . later session OF con-
gress f1.7oo.0o0 additional was al
