dent, at a glance. that either an
increase in the force of the cold
stream from the north or a de
crease in that of the warm one
from the south would tend to widen
the area covered by the icebergs,
and send them farther than usual
across the lane of the trans-At
lantic liners.
If such a change has occurred, it
must be due to some alteration in
the force and direction of the pre-
vailing winds, for the ocean cur
rents mainly arise from the general
circulation of the air, and that in
turn depends upon the rotation of
the earth on its axis The warm
air in the region of the equator
rises and flows off northward al a
high elevation, and the cold ali
from the north moves southwark,
near the surface, to take it's place
But this surface air coming from a
part of the earth where the east
ward motion due to the rotation of
the earth is less rapid than it is
toward the equator. finds itself
moving over parts of the earth
whose speed of rotation is greater
than its own The consequence is
that wind arises blowing west
ward over the surface
You can see how this is if you
take a school globe and set it spin
ming on its axis Then YOU will per-
ceive that point near either pole
moves only an inch or less in the
same time that q point near the
equator moves foot or more. In
fact, this motion of translation in
creases from nothing exactly at the
pole to a thousand miles an hour
al the equator. Now. imagine your
self to be moved suddenly from the
pole to the equator. YOU WOULD
APPEAR TO BE SPINNING
THROUGH SPACE A THOUSAND
MILES AN HOUR in direction
opposite to that of the earth's rota-
ton.
The air from the Arctic regions
experiences no such sudden in
crease of motion because it re-
quires a long time to make the
journey over the earth's surface.
But all the while it is moving to-
ward the equator it Is continually
finding the surface beneath it NOV
ing faster eastward than it was
farther north and. consequently,
because it can not instantly take
UP this increase of eastward mo-
ton itself. it allows the surface to
turn beneath it: thus with regard
to that surface. it becomes a west

This is the origin of the trade

The May King
By MINNA IRVING.

Behold him! a giant IN Jumper of blue,
AS he bangles his feet from dray,
With pipe in his mouth and a match in his hand
For he is the King of the May.
The sweet little May queens in ribbons and curls
Their graces in vain will display,
For to him we must bow, and saaem and kow-tow
The big. burly King of the May
His crown is composed of the china and glass
We have cherished for many a day;
He smashes it all, but we dare demur
For he is the King of the May
We wish had put off our moving while.
And view his approach with dsmay
AS he drives up in state in q numbering van

literature; or she may talk OF cur
rent gossip. Yet the same result
invariably follows. There is a lit
tie blur over my brain: a peculiar
haze; and the real things OF life
seem so far away; and / imagine
incense curling UP from censers IN
some dim room. Some time, in
some past life. she has been a part
of such conditions
Once I met a man Of talents, a
man of whom the world had great
hopes, of whom it expected Won
derful achievements. But after l
had heard him speak I ceased to
believe in his future. His voice was
nght-as thin as water running
over shallow places 1t could not
be a voice of the depths
I know a man whose voice will
bring calm out of turmoil; peace
out of discord; and rest out of
WEAKNESS. Men, women, children,
animals, all feel the magnetism and
charm of his modulated tones.
Each sentence is a caress. however
dignihed the words may be.
There are voices which rouse you
to action, which stir you with am
bition; and there are others which
fill you with dependency. There
are voices which irritate you like
the buzzing of an insect or the
grating of a file; and voices which
hiss Ike serpents and snap like
turtles.
Sometimes from the rosebud
mouth of youth proceeds the crack
ed voice of age; and from feminine
lips the deep bass of masculine
tones; but most dreadful of all is
the thin. piping voice of femininity
issuing from the bearded lips of
man.
That which we are, that which
we have been in some former in
carnation speaks in our tones.
That which we are. and the re-
suit of that which we have been,
can be changed and modified by
the cultivation of the voice.
Ask Your Best Friend
About Your Voice.
Were all the world to speak in
melodious and pleasing voice,
many of the harsh and disagree
able qualities in human nature
would disappear.
What does your voice express
Listen and analyze it, and then
ask your best friend if you are
brave enough TO hear the answer.

if a sudden wind had arisen; or as

Once in the desert of the COM
monplace I heard a Voice, and in

Statues cleaned from hidden
inches; and fountains played; and
there were culture and repose and

Voices are exact reflections of the
mind and soul; or they are echoes
from past incarnations.
Not all soft voices are pleasant;
not all loud voices are unpleasant.
1t depends upon the Quality.
There is a woman who is crowned
with youth and classic beauty. She

oftentimes I have beheld her NOV

A Woman Whose Beauty.
Pleases Till She Speaks.
She is a picture to please the
eye; a picture-until she speaks.
Always when her voice reaches my
ears the same thing occurs. The
beautiful lawns give place to
ragged, unkempt farm house yards;
the great trees vanish, and I see
only forlorn buildings, dilapidated
stables, men in shirt sleeves and
"sus penders," coming home tired
with toll women with calico
aprons and prematurely faded
faces. performing disagreeable du-
ties. The utterly commonplace and
unromantic side of life Is expressed
by the voice OF this beautiful wom
an.
It is like a blow to my ear.
Her own nature is devoid of ro-
nance; there is no sentiment in her
soul. And the voice tells the story
Of temperamental poverty, despite
her appearance and surroundings.
Another woman who is sweet and
wholesome to look upon, and nor
NAL in every respect, speaks and l

of some strange narcotic.

the result of unclean pots than from

found enough to give us an Idea of the
works of authors who were merely

books as important as the "Constitu'

year they present us with large por'

tragedy would be, for 1t shows

fence and touch the outline of a stock

etched on the surface OF the stone.

monument was put in place, and day

This startling sketch was the sub
ject of much comment, and people for
miles around gathered to view the
strange shape on the stoue. II is
said that members OF the family have
tried In vain to efface the mysterious
foot by cutting into the face of the
monument, but each time the figure
gradually resumed its old shape.
Buckport residents are divided in
their version of the legend, many hold
ing that the woman who uttered the
curse had been sentenced to death by
Jonathan Buck. and had forecasted
the appearance of the famous mark
ing, while others contend that the
woman in the case was an Indian
maiden who, after being courted by
Jonathan Buck, was sorely disappoint-
ed when he refused to marry her She
cursed him and all of his descendants.

strange sign on the tombstone.

the case was taken to the courts.
Lewis and his witnesses declared

the calf was brought in, distance of

calf the jury returned a verdict in
Lewis favor and he took the pet back

This is the substance of a curse said
to have been uttered in hatred and
anger by a woman about to die,
woman of mystery, who cast spells
upon her neighbors, and told tales un-

woman who knew she was about to

goes, caused this woman to be put to
death as a witch.
