Where Storms Come From.

1t has been proven that atmospheric
disturbances usually move IN the same
direction across the continent, viz,
from west to east, and that about sixty
one per cent of the storms which we
have to encounter on the Atlantic have
arrived there from the American
continent; but it IS also known that
thirty mine per cent. of the storms
originate upon the Atlantic itself; that
only fifty per cent. of the storms OBJ
served on the Atlantic arrive at Europe,
and the telegraphic reports sent by the
Hordld Weather Bureau frolA America
to Europe have only an imaginary
value. Inorder to make meteorolog-
ical observations of real benefits to
the mariners, Mr.. Hoffmeyer, of Copen-
hagen, proposes to erect a regular
weather service on the islands of Farce,
Iceland, South Greenland, the Azores
and the Bermudas, connecting these
stations by telegraph with the CON
tinents 1t is expected that the
meteorological institutions of Europe
will take steps to make practical test
Of these suggestions in the near future.

LOcusts i'm 1881.

There are two breeds of periodical
locusts, one appearing once in II years
and ,he other once In Is years. The
earliest appearance of the l7-year To-
Gusts in this country, so far as the re-
cords 60, was in 1884, at Plymouth.
Mass, and they have not failed to ap-
pear once in II years ever since. Both
breeds will appear this year, but not
in the same localities. Professor Riley,
the entomologist says that the II year
locusts will abound next June in Mar
quette and Green Lake counties, Wis;
in the neighborhood Of Wheeling,
West Va, and probably in Maryland,
Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
They may also appear he says, in the
west part of North Carolina, in North
eastern Ohio, Lancaster county, Penn,
and Westchester county, n. Y. The
Professor says that the ID year brood
will probably be seen IN Southern Hi
nois, in all Of Missouri except the
northwest corner; in Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Indian Territory, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
The two kinds of locusts Giffer very
little in appearance.

Blowing up stumps with Dynamite.


The Indianapolis Journal OF February
5, says: 'Ex- Sheriff John T. Pre~sly
gave a novel entertainment at his
farm. northwest of the city, yesterday.
Mr.. Pressly has one OF the finest farms
in Marion county, most of it. under
cultivation. In several fields, however,
which had been lately cleared, were a
number of large stumps, and after
working at them for several weeks by
ordinary methods he secured the servi-
ces of Prof Jenney, of Lafayette, to
blast the remaining stumps out with
dynamite. After blowing ont num-
Der of them singly Mr.. Pressly con-
ceived the idea of blowing up all the
stumps in 4O-acre clearing simultan-
eously, and this was the entertainment
which the visitors witnessed yesterday
afternoon. The field selected contains
at least 40 acres, and not less than 40
huge stu,nps dotted its surface. Holes
were drilled in the roots of these, on
level with :he ground, into which
cartridges were inserted and connected
with a battery by means of wires
The work of the explosion was entirely
satisfactory, and every stump was
blown to atoms Pieces flew upward
200 or 300 feet and were picked up
several hundred feet away.

Select Story.
A REPAID DEBT.
BY j. W.

1t was the dusk of evening, and
nights shadows were quietly gathering
in the little German village through
whose outskirts two lovers strolled. r
They had left behind them the cot
tages, and had wandered off among
green fields and under the shade OF
the trees, behind winch the sun had
almost sunk to rest.
1t was the old story, the story OF
their loving. They had been betroth-
ed since the girl was fourteen. 1tw
well-nigh five years now, and on her
nineteenth birthday they were to be
married.
She was an orphan, and her snug
dowry, lying so safely nestled away in
the village bank, she had accumulated
bv the labor Of her own hands. But
shade was on her lovers face to night,
and even in the shadow her quick eye
discerned it,
Sing to me, Hans she wispered,
knowing that in song Hans Werter
forgot all else.
After moments silence, he obeyed
her, and the sleepy birds woke in their
nests, and almost Indignantly drew
their heads from beneath the soft shell
ter of their wings, to listen to this
strange. wonderful rival to the sweet
ness of their notes. The air was filled
with the exquisite melody 1t rang
full, and clear, and sweet. 1t sank
down to The violets, as they stirred to
the listening wind, and scared to the
stars.
Poor little Marguerite! Hans mu-
sic always brought the moisture to her
blue eyes, but tonight 1t seemed filed
with something she had hever heard
before, and her little hands we're
tightly interlaced, and her red lips
parted in sort of painful ecstacy.
But at the close, she was all unpre-
pared to see him end the last note in
a dry sob, then fling himself down
on the swa,d and bury his face in his
hands.
Hans, what is is?' she cried, sink
ing down beside him, and trying to
raise his head upon her breast.
Was he weeping? She had never
in all those years seen him thus moved.
His powerful frame seemed shaken
to its innermost center by the torrent
Of emotion which swept over it.
Almost rudely in his unconcious-
ness to all but his own suffering, he re-
pulsed her only the next moment to
be filled with remorse.
Conquering himself by mighty ef-
fort he drew her to him with gentle
force.
Forgive me, DEAR? he said softly,
but never ask me to sing again, Mar
guerite. 1t only teaches me what
might have been, and what l am.

erless to break the chain. I need so

A Bit OF Testimony In the Whitaker
Case.

Neu York Stars Report
Lester w. Cornish. q cadet was
called 70 testify. He said that his room
was under that Of Whitaker, and that
on the night Of the outrage his transom
was open, but he heard no noise.
Ordinarily he could have heard foo.-
steps in the room above him. He
picked up a piece Of a letter in Whit
takers handwriting, from the dust
box. On his cross examination he
was asked:
Did the cadets talk with Whitaker,
ordinarily BE-
Inever knew any one who spoke to
him other than officially In my case
the reason was that chose TO select
my companions. There we're others
to whom ! would not care to speak.
Had you any particular objection?
Yes. Whitaker used something
on his hair which was unpleasant to
me-
Roars of laughter from the specta-
tors followed. and both Whitaker and
Professor Greener seemed highly
amused.
Another thing: never saw him
look anyone square in the face, and
this was an objection. His color, also
was an objection.
WAS not the greatest objection his
color?' asked Governor Chamberlain
No, sir; ] think his habits was the
reason. and | would not have associated

DRUMMED TO THEIR DEATH.
Singular Slaughter of Rats Over in
Newcastle-A Reporters Deadly

NeWChsuo-A RepUTttI ucbulJ

New Castle iPa.) News.l
A most remarkable phenomenon
was witnessed in the Second ward
this city. on Friday afternoon of last
week. being no less than large numbers
of rats being enticed to their death by
the roll of the drums. A number of
the small boys of this city, hearing it
said that rats could be brought out Of
their holes by the beating of drums,
determined to try the experiment.
So, procuring number of these instru-
ments of martial music and half a
dozen dogs with a weakness for rat
flesh, they proceeded to barn near
Pearson's flowering-mill, in which
structure were known to dwell many
we'll fed rodents, who subsisted upon
the contents of the grain bins near by.
Stationing part of their number, with
drums, in the hay NOW of the stable,
and the others at the doors with the
dogs, everybody was eager for the
fray. The drummers brought their
sticks down on the taut calf skin, and
soon the building shook to its very
foundation with the deafening roll.
Several boys had been stationed at
various knot holes in the floor of the
hay-mow. and these youths, peering
down into the semi darkness below,
soon saw little twinkling eyes appear
at certain apertules all around the
apartment beneath. The drumming
was continued, and sharp pointed
noses and then sleek bodies of rats
came from the holes. Soon the rapid
rolling of the drums seemed to excite
the rodents to q point beyond self con-
troll. They began to caper and whisk
around the stable floor as if intoxicated.
They ran around the feed bins in wild
chase after each other. So rapidly did
they turn corners that their tails snapp-
ed with report like that of bull
whackers whip, and making the flour
fly from their caudle appendages so as
to fill the apartment with dust Now
was the time for action. The boys
with the dogs we're signaled, the doors
were opened and the hungry CANNES
let IN ON them. The unfortunate rats
seemed to be under spell and made
no attempt to seek their holes For
five minutes slaughter reigned supreme
and when it had subsidized the floor
was covered with the bodies of forty
three rats. Again were the drums
called into requisition, and the same
scene ensued again. This time thirty
eight rats bit the dust. The boys con-
tinued their operations with their
drums and dogs all the afternoon, and
when evening came there were piled
up In front of the stable, mangled, cut
and torn, the bodies of 479 rats; in
fact all the rodents which have lived
and thrived for years on the grain in
the mill had been totally exterminated.
