By Jove, to move storms,

Fraught with force—electricity,

They serve to betoken

What mortals may tell;

The weather is broken:

Summer, farewell!


Light from Wind.

The Times says that experiments are being made at Cap de la Hève, near the mouth of the Seine, on the production of electricity for lighthouse purposes by means of the force obtained by windmills. Light from wind! Could the notion be applied at St. Stephen's? The Session just over has been mainly wind, so exceptionally "ill wind," that it has blown no good to anybody, and most certainly has thrown no "light" on anything. By all means let M. De L'Angle-Beaumanoir be empowered to experiment on the windbags of the House of Commons when they next meet.
