“Does the road wind up hill all the way? 
Yes, to the very end. 
Will the day’s journey take the whole long day? 
From morn to night, my friend.”

R. TREUTLER gave a brief but interesting account of the

British Isles and N.W. Europe became the region of an anti- 
cyclone, the formation and dispersion of which he traced, and 
drew attention to the phenomena which usually accompany an 
anticyclone.
