there would be no crime in the army but for it. He was happy to find that there were no crimes in the army of so detestable a nature as in civil | life; huglaries, murders, &c., because soldiers were under restraint. Judge Coleridge said that nine-tenths of the crime brought before him was engendered by drink. It was inconsistent taga about to reclaim drunk;irds if they tippled them- selves. There was no such thing as moderate drinking, and it was a fact that people who drank had no sympathy to reclaim drunkards, because they patronised drink themselves.

The reports abound also with informa- Don and hints for mariners and others unl the various indications which mark the approach and neighborhood of typhoons, especially as to that sure and easily served guide, the swell of the sea. To the skilled observer. who knows how to inter- pret what he sees, the hárometer, the clouds, the variations of the wind, and others of Nature's signs, clearly indicate what is going on perhaps many hundreds of miles away. The influence of the eighth typhoon of 1881 was felt by the barometer a thousand miles ahead of the centre and 6 miles behind it. In the case of No. X, the influence was felt 735 miles ahead of the centre, aut Father Dechevrens from his post at Zi Ka We observed low swift vapoury clouds the usual forerunners of great atmospheric disturbance, coming up from the south at a time when the storm wns 600 miles away. Still more remarkable was the case of typhoon Xl of the same year, which spread its warning tokens, the phenomena of the anti-cyclone, as far as Tokio, co miles, and Shanghai, 1250 miles, from the then position of the centre. The orientation of high cirri towards the direption of storms, and other signs of the clouds are also dwelt upon in various parts of these papers.

Although the old theory that the winds of gyrating storms blow incireles has been dispuses of by all modern researches, as being inaccurate except in close proximity to the centre, there still remains a great deal of uncertainty as to the amount of their convergence, which in some cases is small, but in others so large that an under estimate is likely to lead to grave conse quenres. The difficulty, if capable at all of solution, can only be met by minute and protracted investigation, and it is to be feared that in any case a certain clement of conjecture must always remain part of the problem. Much, however, can, and doubtless will be done to arrive at aver ages which shalf afford a reasonable degree of safely. Meanwhile, a study of Father Dechevrens' copious notes on the subject should serve in place mariners in possession of many valuable data, and we may at least expect that they will pro- fit by the example of the steamer llar, which, Monsieur Dechevrens tells us, got Into serious trouble last August in the Formosa Strait through its master's ad- herence to the "circular" theory.

It must be a strange contrast to pass from this raging condition of the elements into the calm space in the actual vortes, where, though thick black or yellow clouds gird the whole horizon. the sky overhead is often clear, with sun or stars shining

down upon the scene. Tong King typhoon the ill-fated lens In the centre of the Chuk found wether such as this, and was at once covered with myriads of birds," which stayed with her until she re-entered the wind-region, when they had to take wing again and accompany the storm on its Bight. These however, in spite of the weary journey which they were ubliged to perform or die, were at least more for tunate than the poor Japanese sparrows in the storm of October, 1880, who had no such alternative. Unable to fly, from the violence of the wind. they took refuge in bamboo groves, where they were killed, literally in thousands, by the quick swaying of the bamboos. In the same storm, large numbers of pigeons and deer were also said to have perished in the groves and forests,

The last and ant the least touching in eident we will relate is that of the rescue last September, by the Russian cruiser, fala, of a Japanese fisherman, at a distance of forty miles from land. Caught in a typhoon when out fishing, his junk had become water-logged, and, though his comrades escaped in another junk, he was hy some accident left behind. He contrived to keep himself out of the water by crossing the masts and lying down on them, and, thus supported. floated about for some days, When rescued by the Asia, he was in a deplorable state. bitten him about the kures and ellets, but had The sharks, he said, had not been able to lay hold of him. The attention of those on board had, in fact, been first drawn to the wreck by the number of those fish that were springing about it, and the! wounds from their attacks were afterwards! found on the poor fellow's body.

To conclude this long but imperfect notice of Father Dechevrens' arute and laborious researches, let us express the hope that he will remain for years to come to take an active part in the work he has so well begun; and. further, that he and his able colleagues, Ir. Arai, of the Imperial Observatory in Tokio, and Father Faura, of the Manila Observatory, may soon have the assistance of a zealous man of science at this im portant station, is attacking and solving not only the theory of Typhoons, but other great physical problems of Eastern lands

Towards evening he went into the hotel and sat for hours without moving, his eyes fixed on the clock the whole time. As twelve o'clock strack he called for liquor. He remained in the hotel for three days and drank himself to death. Temperance was having a marked effect at home. from drink had decreased wonderfully, but it was still suficiently large to be a disgrace, and he hoped to see it still further reduced.

If so, God would strength it would not be blessed. A vote of thanks was passed to Major Cardew for his able and interesting address.
