How the Wind Stirs np the ifea.
One of the first things to olwerve in
a storm is the way the wind acts. It
does not blow regularly but in gusts.
At one moment it liends over the
branches of the trees in the next it
has hxwened its hold and let them flv
back. We see it swelling out a ship's
sails into a full puff, a minute later
the sails hang Happing as if they had
been struck down.
We can account for these phenom
ena and explain the intcrmittance of
the wind-puffs by assuming that the
molecules of air. displacing each oth
er, excite a vibratory movement,
which gives rise to little undulations
following one after another at inter
vals of a few seconds. The resultant
of a series of the undulations is a puff
of wind which comes on suddenly and
is followed by a short lull. A series
of puffs constitutes a squall, and an
aggregation of squalls forms the at
mospheric wave which is called a gale
of wind. We should naturally ex

The most interesting picture in the
dull waste of our old school geography
—the interest in it being heghteneii by
its association with Washington anil
Jefferson, and the wonderful climb
ing-exploit narrated by Elihu Burritt
was of the National bridge. The
writer is glad to lie able to report for
himself, that a visit to itdid notdis|x'l
a simple boyish illusion, and to con
fess that pictures utterly fail to give
any adequate idea of the noble Ix'auty
of the region, of which it is "only one
of the attractions. We left the mil
way at a way-station, one sparkling
exhilarating morning, and mounted
the to]) of a coach for the drive of
three and a half miles. The road, ris
ing and descending, follows a small
stream through cultivated hills, up a
gradual ascent that at length brought
us to an elevation of alxmt l.COO feet
above tide-water. Hen* in a slight
depression among the hills, but coin
niand'ng on extensive view, are the
clustered buildings or the old and
ii"w hotel, capable of accommodating
three hundred guests. Alxive the
hotel on one side is the splendidly
wixxled Mount Lincoln, ank on the
other the open summit of Mount .Jef
ferson, from both of which the pros
pects is very extensive. A road cross
ing the stream lx?fore the hotel as
cends a slight hill and passes over the
bridge, which is not visible from this
}»oiut. The roadway is ninety feet
wide, and protected by low bushes
and evergreens on each side, so that
the travelers could pass over it with
out seeing it. though the chasm is
visible on either side.
The rock of the bridge and of the
jutting above is a sitnerb study of
color, scarcely equalled iu any ltx-k
color I know for variety aud beauty
of tone. But one singular freak de
serves special mention.
Exactly over head, on the highest
spring of the arch is a gigantic spread
eagle. It is the eagle of our coat of
arms. The head, the spread wings,
the claws with the arrows are all per
fect. It seems to IM» formed by dis
coloration of the rock rather than by
lichen. However it is made—airl it
could not be more striking if it were
painted—-it is ancient. The French
engineers who made a survey and
measurement of the bridge during the
Revolutionary war.and noticed it with
wonder, and in their printed report
they drew from it a happy augury of
the success of the Americans in the
struggle. What makes the ligure it

Circus Horses.
The first thingmeii do when they get
new horses for training, is to keep
them in the .stables with others, for a
certain time, until they have got used
to their new company. The next
operation isto blindfold them, when
they an- led iu to the ring aud trained
to the circular motion. This requiivs
much time and patience. Some horses
take two ueeks, others twice as many
months. The natural tendency of a
horse isto go straight, and th is constant

him. He is first walked around, then
trotted, then gallo|x*d. each stage le

The bridge is. in fact, thrown over,
a narrow, deep chasm, something like'
a mile in length. We descended to it
by a steep path iu the forest, passing
on our way a very pretty cascade
and two of probably the largest arholt-]
vita* trees in the world. Both are
superb veterans, fluted and twisted,
with branches broken and lieatcn in
the storms of centuries, and the larger
has a circumference of eighteen feet.
Their age is estimated at fifteen hun
dred years. Reaching the bottom of
the ravine, we came to the
rx%ky
bed
of another stream, clear and shallow,
and turning to the right the gagantic
arch burst upon our sight, giving us a
genuine shock of surprise. It is
massive, so high, so shapely, the abut
ments rise so solidly and spring into
the noble arch with such grace and
power! We were not prepared for its
majesty. The impression deejiens as
we advanced and stand under it.
Through the arch is the blue sky. over
the top is the blue sky. great tre«\s try
in vain to ivach up to it. bushes and
vines drape ami soften its outlines, but
do not conceal its rugged massiveness.
It is still in the ravine, save for the
gentle flow of the stream, and the
bridge seems as much an emblem of
slience and eternity as the pyramids.
A description says that it is wide
enough to span Broadway and high
enough to throw a shadow over the'
spin* of Trinity church. Its span is,
I believe, about sixtv feet, and its
height, including the thickness of the
arch, is 215! The arch is quite regu
lar, and both arch and abutments are
smooth as if cut with a chisel. On
one side, alxiut twenty-live feet above
the stream, are natural tablets or
smooth surfaces, U|MII which are cut
and scratched with sharp instruments

that of George Washington. To as

almost impossible feat. To reach it

possible. It was gained by working
along by the side, when* certain ine

an inaccessible place his immortal
