THE CAUSE OF TORNADOEs.

Mr.. L. B. Maury has an interesting
article on Tornadoes and their Causes In
the North American Review for Sep
TENDER. He notes the fact that the tor
nado is to be distinguished from the cy-
clone or thunder storm, which has much
less force, the rate of speed Of the cy-
clone being about twenty five miles an
hour, while that of the tornado is often
seventy miles. The one which struck
Grinnell on the 18th of last June tray
eled 200 miles in tour hours. The tor
Gado belt lies between the tenth and
tittieth parallels of latitude, although
countries having a mountainous surface
are seldom visited by such storms, even
when they lie in the belt. The en-

Stores about venOmous lizards of diff

other tropical countries, but on inyesti

t1tute OF foundation. There Is, however,
one lizard of which the bite is certainly
dangerous to man. This is the hello
derm OF Mexico and Lower California,
commonly known to the natives Of those
countries as the scorpione or scorpion.
An example of this lizard has lately
been presented to the Geological Soci-
ETY. S collection by Sir John Lubbock,
and may now be seen in the reptile
house. The deadly effect OF the bite of
this lizard upon small animals has been
proved by actual experiment and Mr.. J,

THE CHINESE BILL.

N. X Times.
The President has signed the new bill
bill to suspend the immigration Of Chi
nese laborers for period Of ten years.
II is to be hoped that this will settle
the much vextd Chinese question for
time at least. The bill was drawn with
special reference to the objections raised
by the President in his Message disap-
proving the first bill passed by Congress.
As it now stands, The law suspends the
immigration Of Chinese laborers. whether
skilled or employed In mining. IL
provides for system Of certificates. to
be issued on the identification of Chinese
persons now living in this country or
who may hereafter arrive here under
provisions Of the law authorizing them
TO come. The naturalization OF all Chi
mere is expressly forbidden. Various
fines and penalties are imposed upon the
masters Of vessels who shall briug nn-
authorized Chinese persons into this
country. and upon any person who shall
forge, alter, or make fraudulent nse Of
the certificates to he issued to Chinese
who are allowed residence in the United
States. The bill as it has become law
does not infringe upon any Of tue rights
Of China AT defined IN existing treaties.
Tie people Of California viii probably
be satisfied with all It's features, uulesl
they may object to the shortness Of the
term during which immigration lie TO b.
