About the Winds.
It ia a matter of common observa
ttuu that when the window of a warm
room Is opened on a still winter night
tbe cold air from without rushes into
the rottn. Nearer tbe ceiling the
warmer air is forced out of tbe win­
dow, thru, completing a general atmos­
pheric circulation on a miniature scale.
These currents of air, which might
properly be called wind, would not
occur if the air within doors was not
warmer and consequently lighter than
tbe air without.
The range in temperature between
the equator and the north pole amounts
in winter to considerably more than
100 degrees F., and in summer the
contrast is also great. Moreover, in
summer the continents are warmer
than the oceans, but in winter the re­
verse is true. Three examples will
serve to illustrate how such contrasts
afftvet the winds of the world.
At the equator ti e temperature aver­
ages about 8(1 degrees throughout the
year. Consequently the lower air flows
in from regions of high pressure on
each slile, forming what are known as
tbe trades. These winds cover nearly
one-half of the earth’s surface and
blow with much steadiness the year
round.
The monsoons, or "seasonal winds,”
of India and the Indian ocean are the
most interesting of their class. In
summer the cooler ocean air pushes in
toward the land, while the warmer air
over the continents rises to a consid­
erable height anil then flows out. to
sea, forming a systematic circulation
between ocean and continent In win­
ter the ocean is warmer thnn tbe con­
tinent, and the winds reverse their
direction.
The "land and sea breezes” occur
with much regularity near large bodies
of water in some parts of the world.
The ocean Is cooler than the land dur­
ing tbe day and warmer at night, caus­
ing on a small scale a daily Inter­
change of air similar to that caused
by tbe monsoons.
A clear knowledge of the term “air
pressure” is very helpful in studying
the causes of wind. Air, like a stone,
presses against the ground—in other
words, it has weight, amounting to no
less than 2,117 pounds upou every
square foot of the earth’s surface at
sea level—but, unlike a stone, the at­
mosphere is elastic to a high degree
anil also presses in all other directions.
On account of tills elasticity of the
air, certain forces which arise from
differences in temperature and the
earth’s rotation cause it to become
dense or heavy in some regions and
rare or light in other regions.
It is the effort of the atmosphere to
overcome these pressure differences
and resume a state of equal density
that causes the winds to blow.
The column of mercury in a barome­
ter tube is always just balancing a
column of air of the same diameter,
reaching from the barometer to the
top of the atmosphere. If the air is
dense the mercury will of course stand
high In the tube, and to express This
condition we use the term “high
pressure,” but if the air is rare fhe
mercury will stand low in the tube,
and we then use the term “low pres­
sure."
Over the United Ntates, Canada and
otiier parts of the world the pressure
is ascertained each day at numerous
stations. The barometer readings, ex­
press'd In inches of mercury, are tele­
graphist to a central point and there
charted on a map. The exact regions
where the pressure Is high or low
may then lie seen at a glance. It has
been learntsl from such observations
that these areas are constantly moving
eastward at an average rate of About
duo inili» per day.
Technically the low pressure areas
are called “cyclones" and the high
pressure areas "anticyclones.” They
are frequently 1,000 or more mites in
diameter. The little storms of great
destructive force so often called cy­
clones are really tornadoes.
The higher the pressure« in any par­
ticular region relative to, some other
region the greater will tieAthe velocity
of the wind. Tbe winds: blow much
faster in winter than ln-’summer, be­
cause the greater contrasts«of tefnpera-
ture cause more decided differences in
pressure.
ObM-rvations demonstrate, however,
that the wind never blown in straight
lines, because ail bodies of air when
in motion are acted upon by‘a law of
nature called the "deflecting force of
the earth’s rotation.” This force turns
all wind to the right of its course in
the northern hemisphere and to the
left In the aorrtbem
Thus If a wind in our t hemisphere
starts north it la soon ttxmeih slowly
toward tbe northeast, or »if it starts
west it will soon turn, toward the
northwest When it is •remembered
that «t the equator the eartiuis rotat­
ing at tbe enormous velocity» of'4.085
miles an honr, one will not nnntenthat
such a deflecting force coiilil4«xlst All
areas of high and low preawre, from
whatever cause, therefore . become
whirling masses of air, and la little
thought will show that they«nmMf turn

The anxieties 4 owners of race
bt rsM competing in the Derby do not
immediately end as tbe horses pass
the judges. The fatal "objection" may
snatch tbe laurels from the victor. Tbe
possibility discovered itself over Ca-
ractacua’ race. The owner had striven
in vain to get a Jokey of repute. His
offer of a life annuity of £100 a year to
Gvstiey in ease of success had been
declined. A stable boy named Par­
sons had eventually to be trusteff, and,
to the surprise of tbe learned, he got
tbe horse home, winning by a neck.
Going to scale, the lad could not draw
the weight. In breathless alienee the
bridle w as gent for, and that just ena­
bled him to balance the scale. But
now Lord Stamford appeared to object
that only his own horse and two oth­
ers had gone the full course. The win­
ner and the rest were already past the
starting poet when the flag fell. Ad­
miral Rous lookt-d at hLs watch.
"Twenty minutes," he said. “An ob­
jection to hold good must be lodged
within a quarter of an hour." And so
the stable boy’s win passed into the
records, but the owner of t’aractacus
declared that not for £1,000 a moment
would he again endure the agony of
that short (>erlod following the race.—

PILLS AS WEAPONS.
The Curious Duel That Was Arranged
by a Doctor.
An extraordinary duel, which at the
time created an immense sensation,
was one in which the decision was ar­
rived at not by swords or pistols, but
by uieaus of a deadly poison. Tbe
men—who, it is hardly necessary to
say, had fallen out over a lady—had
left the arrangement of details to their
seconds, and until they faced each oth­
er they did not know by what method
they were to settle their differences.
One of the seconds was a doctor, and
he had made up for tbe occasion four
black pellets, all identical in size and
shape. "In one of these,” he said, "<

prussic acid to cause the almost in-
stantaneous death of any one who

toss of a coin which of you la to have
first choice, and you will alternately
draw and swallow a pill until the poi­
son shows its effects.” Two of the pel­
lets were then taken as the toss had
decided, but without effect in either
case. "This time," said the doctor,
speaking of the two pellets remaining,
"you must both swallow the pill at
the same instant” The choice was
again made, and in a few seconds one
of the men lay dead on the grass.—
