For weeks ome element in the convention tried to head off another, until the chances of the party elect ing their candidate in tha forthcom- ing élection were seriously impaired.

Once more, if "was time 102 a change." But the squabbles within the Democratic party itself have well nigh spoiled their chances of victory. The long drawn out fight on the floor of the vcnvantion, the fierce hostility of a powerful section of the press to the candidature of McAdoo, the unyielding opposition i | of the west to Al. Smith, the failure to declare against the Xiu Klux Klan or in favor of the League of Nations,--all these have militated against the Democratic party's chances of success at the polls next November, : Mr. Davis, the nominees chosen as a compromise candidate, is a man of sterling worih, who des:rved a bet- ter fighting chaacs than he now bas.

THE MAMMOTH PANORAMA. April 22:--Mr. Lewis, the pro- prietor of the Panorama of the Mis- sissippi, has arrived in town, with his mammoth painting which is to be forthwith exhibited in the City Hall. No point along the entire flow of the river is omitted. There stands New Orleans, with all its stirring remini- scences of one of the bloodiest bat- tles of this century of sanguinary national struggles. And there, wrapped in a winding sheet of flame, is St. Louis, of which city nearly one thousand houses were destroyed by a fearful conflagration in May, 1840. This fearful catastrophe {is brought under the eye with a fidelity which the highest scenic skill could alone effect. Many interesting and char- acteristic scenes of savage life are graphically représented on these 400 square yards of glowing canvas. Among which will be found the Battle of Bad Axe, the last scene of the Black Hawk war and-the stir- ring scene which occurred at Waba- shaw Prairie on the occasion of the removal of the Winnebagoes, in which twelve hundred figures are re- presented. ' May 7:--(Not to be taken too ser fously.) We are credibly informed that at the exhibition of Lewis & King's Panorama last night, three young children, a poor lame girl and a very old woman, were crushed to death in the crowd, owing to the im- mense attraction. It is to be hoped' that at the exhibition tomight, the very last of the season, no such de- plorable events will result.

In discussing the occurrence of thunderstorms, Sir Frederic Stupart has pointed out that they are most likely to, develop on hot relatively calm days when the air is moist. Moreover, they are most frequent during the hottest hours of the day, the late afternoon; aithough the line, or windshift thunderstorms may oc- cur at night, ' Further knowledge of the habits of thunderstorms may be gained from his tabulation of § years of castern Canadian data. It seems that thund- erstorms rarely appear in a high pressure area; over 84 per cent. of the instances recorded fell within a low pressure, or cyclonic area. And the centre of this area is probably the most thundery point, the likeli- hood of thunderstdrms diminishing from the centre outward.
