The Home of Storms. The waters of Cape Horu have never been unvisited by storms for more than a week or two at a stretch within the memory of man. Standing on the outposts of the world, Cape Horn is the meeting place of ocean currents of very different temperature, from the icy cold waters of the Aiftarctic drift to the warmth of the Brazilian and Pe ruvian return currents. The prevailing winds are from the northwest and west, and these, com ing from the warm regions of the Pa cific, condense into fogs, which the sailors call "Cape Horn blankets" and which are the forerunners of storms. The extremely low level to which the glaciers of Tierra del Fuego descend, the perpetual congelation of the sub soil, the meeting of conflicting winds at very different temperatures, are all direct or indirect causes combining to make this the most constantly stormy region of the world. r ——————————— Not a Soloist. The late Theodore Thomas was re hearsing the Chicago Orchestra on the stage' of the Auditorium theater. He was disturbed by the whistling of Al bert Burridge, the well known scene painter, who was at work in the loft above the stage.

"Mr. Thomas' compliments," said the librarian, "and he requests me to state that if Mr. Burridge wishes to whistle he will be glad to discontinue his re hearsal." To which Mr. Burridge replied suave ly, "Mr. Burridge's compliments to Mr. Thomas, and please inform Mr. Thomas that if Mr. Burridge cannot whistle with the orchestra he won't whistle at all."—Success Magazine. •The Sheep In the Grass. Lord Palmerston once Inspected "Summer In the Lowlands," a picture by Sir Johh Watson Gordon.

"My lord," replied the artist, "those sheep were only turned into the field last night!" Lord Palmerston bought the picture at: a high price. Peculiar to Itself. "I suppose there *is a certain fascina tion that keeps you in the racing game?" "Yes," admitted 'the bookmaker, "there is.
