    "verified_text": "anticosti, an island of the province of quebec, canada, situated in the gulf of st lawrence, between 49 deg. and 50 deg. n., and between 61 deg. 40' and 64 deg. 30' w., with a length of 135 m. and a breadth of 30 m. population 250, consisting chiefly of the keepers of the numerous lighthouses erected by the canadian government. the coast is dangerous, and the only two harbours, ellis bay and fox bay, are very indifferent. anticosti was sighted by jacques cartier in 1534, and named assomption. in 1763 it was ceded by france to britain, and in 1774 became part of canada. wild animals, especially bears, are numerous, but prior to 1896 the fish and game had been almost exterminated by indiscriminate slaughter. in that year anticosti and the shore fisheries were leased to m. menier, the french chocolate manufacturer, who converted the island into a game preserve, and attempted to develop its resources of lumber, peat and minerals. see logan, _geological survey of canada, report of progress from its commencement to 1863_ (montreal, 1863-1865); e. billings, _geological survey of canada: catalogue of the silurian fossils of anticosti_ (montreal, 1866); j. schmitt, _anticosti_ (paris, 1904). anticyclone (i.e. opposite to a cyclone), an atmospheric system in which there is a descending movement of the air and a relative increase in barometric pressure over the part of the earth's surface affected by it. at the surface the air tends to flow outwards in all directions from the central area of high pressure, and is deflected on account of the earth's rotation (see ferrel's law) so as to give a spiral movement in the direction of the hands of a watch face upwards in the northern hemisphere, against that direction in the southern hemisphere. since the air in an anticyclone is descending, it becomes warmed and dried, and therefore transmits radiation freely whether from the sun to the earth or from the earth into space. hence in winter anticyclonic weather is characterized by clear air with periods of frost, causing fogs in towns and low-lying damp areas, and in summer by still cloudless days with gentle variable airs and fine weather.",
