A forerunner of a storm is a water¬ spout, which is one of the most impres¬ sive and awe-inspiring sights st sea. The explanation of its being is simple enough. A whirlwind or gyrating cur rent of air seizes the water as on land it snatches up sand or dust aud whirls it up to the clouds, which thus receive (k.me of their moisture of which they are compoeed. I saw a cunous illustra¬ tion of this once when sailing in a boat near the shore, the wind being about nor’-north west, and the weather very dry. I observed a thread-like column of dost on the land sknrrying toward the water—it was a small whirlwind; no sooner did it touch the water than the column turned as if by magic into water, coming with great rapidity toward the boat. I at onoe luffed and let go the sheet, aud the water-spout passed within two or three yards off, and was perhaps three to fonr inches in diameter. But a real, live water-spout, that means mis¬ chief, is a sublime object, to be regarded with just apprehension by all sailors, for they are sometimes sufficiently large and violent to founder a shijf. A cannon¬ ball brought to bear on one will, how¬ ever, sometimes cause it to break. When there are several in a row, as I have where repeatedly they seen especially them in the Black sea, are common, pillars they look like a colonnade of majestic supporting the sky. I never shall forget a magnificent water-spout that nearly overwhelmed us one gloomy twilight in the Gulf Stream. It was blowing very fresh about dusk, when the captain came out to take another look befcre sapper. The man at the wheel was looking into the binnacle, and no one else had seen a huge water¬ spout, which the captain perceived as soon as he put his head out of the com¬ panion-way. It was advancing with great velocity direotly on a line with the ship and was alarmingly near. The captain sprang to the wheel, and, push¬ ing the helmsman aside, put the helm down and kept away several points, and the water-spout passed just astern; an¬ other minute of delay and the brave little bark would have carried her crew to Davy Jones.— S, Q. W. Benjamin. The Mother of Forty-Four Children. resident Mary, wife Washington, of William Austin, now a of has had forty feur children, only eleven of them born alive. She had twins thirteen times, and triplots six times. Her sister, Mrs. Carrie Kinney, aged forty-three, has had twenty-six children, and her hus¬ band’s sister has had forty-one children, making a total of 111 for three women. This seems almost incredible, though the figures are vouched for. Mrs. Aus¬ tin, a native of South Carolina, and reared in Tennessee, is the daughter of John G. Klind, a printer. She is a reg¬ ular physician, and has practiced for twenty-five the years, having been one of first women doctors in the country, She studied medicine in New Orleans under the well-known Dr. Stone. She lost an eye while with the Federal army in the Valley of Virginia, received medals for the able and fearless manner in which she had discharged her duty, and was granted, likewise, a regular commission. She is fifty-four, of good proportions and appearance, and, as may be inferred, of vigorous constitution. Her husband was also in the Federal army, and bears the marks of a score of serious wounds, which would have killed any man less tough. The Paper Age. We have had the golden age and the iron age, and now we are in the paper age. There are paper boats and paper car wheels, paper clothing and paper money, and an English captain has dis¬ covered that a war vessel can be ad¬ vantageously coated with paper. When the Seraphic last set sail for India Capt. Warren had her bottom thoroughly coated with paper, applied by means of a cement of his own devising. After making the voyage and lying in port three months the bottom remained free from marine incrustations except in a few places where the paper had been rubbed off. As the material is very cheap and the method of its application is simple, the discovery is likely to rev¬ olutionize marine construction in at least this detail. It may also revolu¬ tionize all modern warfare. May not a paper ship with paper sails loom np in the future, and may not another paper ship batter the first paper ship to pieces with paper balls from paper cannon, and then, of course, the full account of the fight will be published in the papers of next morning.
