GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY MRS.
/. HUDSON SERIOUSLY INJURED.
At about two o'clock yesterday afternoon
Sergeant W. II. Ray sent word to different
parts Of the city that strong gale or
cyclone was approaching this city, as evil
denced by his weather instruments in the
signal service Office. His warning was
needed by many, On the river front the
boats, and tugs, and fats we're all more
securely fastened, and in the city most peo-
pie saught their homes and fastened win
dows and doors. In the meantime, though
the air was very quiet and the sky tolera:
bly, clear, there was visible q suspicious
darkness on the distant western horizon,
which grew mixer and ap-
preached nearer very rapidly. About
446 o'clock thick white cloud
was seen to approach the city from the
northwest and Immediately after the city was
struck by the hurricane heavily laden with
water, which swept over the city for about
one minute with awful force, leaving many
ruins in its tract. II is the opinion of ser.
geant Ray that the cyclone extended up as
far as st. Louis, as the thermom-
eter and barometer, at that
point and here, were at the same stage at
the same time. II was also currently re-.

the front of the house onto Ohio leyee.
A little boy who was standing at the
corner of Eighth street and Ohio levee, was
picked up and carried toward the river
with lightning-like speed, but came in
contact with wagon partially loaded with
brick, but which had been abandoned by
the horses at the beginning of the storm,
and was thus prevented from being blown
into theeriver, though he was somewhat
injured.
Mr.. Henry Frsnken, barkecper for Mr..
Louis Herbert, was driving pair of horses,
attached to delivery wagon, up Twelfth
street toward Ohio levee. He had Just
reached Sproat's ice house when the wind
caught the wagon and turned it completely
over. Mr.. Frankcn saved bis life by
jump, but held onto the rains and prevent
ed the horses from running away.
Several brick chimneys on Col. Reardens
residence, on Fifteenth street, were blown
down and the roof crushed in, causing
damage to the amount of about fifty
dollars.
The glass in the front doors of Messrs.

Mr.. Markison were blown down, the wall in
the business place of Mr.. Samuel Wilson,
jr, on Ohio leyee, gave way and was scat.
tered over the merchandise on the floor, and
several other houses on Ohio leyee were
blown out.
lnnumerable trees in all parts of the
city, and of all sizes, were blown down,
causing much damage to telegraph and
telephone wires, and blockading the streets.
Wagons loaded with goods of various de-
scriptions, could be seen standing in many
parts of the city, having been hastily aban-
doned by drivers and horses. People who
were caught out in the street found il
impossible to resist the force of the storm,
and we're carried along or across the streets
until they came in contact with post or
q house; hats and parasols and umbrellas
were lost by the dozen, and some people
narrowly escaped serious injury. Gutter
ing was torn from houses, fences were
blown down and carried away, front doors
were bursted in, tearing the locks or
the hinges from their places and
windows were shattered. But all
things sink into insignifcance in view of :
the many great disasters. On the whole,

Highest Bridge in the World.

The highest railroad bridge in the
world, now being constructed on the
extension of the Bradford branch of
the New York, Lake Erie and West
ern Railroad, is now nearly half COM
pleted, and will, no doubt, be finished
and trains crossing within six weeks.
The bridge spans deep ravine, at the
bottom of which flows the Kinzua
creek, situated in Mexican county,
Pa, three miles from-Alton, the pres
ent terminus of the Bradford branch.
The structure, when finished, will be
2052 feet long between abutments and
302 feet high from...the surface of the
ground to the base of the rail. 1t is
composed of continuous lateral girded
irons, supported on twenty iron tow
ers, formed by columns strongly con-
nected together by bracing, SO as to
give the greatest amount of strength
and stability to resist pressure from
winds and storms. There are twenty
clear spans of sixty-one and one of
sixty.two feet in length. Due provi.
81 n is made for expansion and con-
traction, as In the girders of the truss
on the plates connecting the columns
at the base of the towers and to the
masonry. The towers are firmly an
chored to the masonry piers by heavy
iron rods. The floor system of the
viaduct, which is twenty feet in width,
consists of oak ties eight inches in
width and twelve inches deep, laid on
the girders eight inches apart, on
which the rails rest. Every provision
is made for safety by double timber
guard rails and an inside steel guard
rail. On each eide, outside the guard
rails, sidewalk is laid and prot scted
by hand rail. The weight of iron iE
the structure is 4. 200 900 pounds.

Immense Estates.

What is to become c f the great Irish
mansion houses? Is the close of the
next decade to find half of them in
decay? 1t is difficult to see how this
can be otherwise if matters con.
tinue AS they are. The Land Com.
mission has in many cases reduced
rentals of farms from 10 to 90 per cent.
Few landlords have other sources of
income, and in most cases it was as
much as they could do to keep up
their places before the troubles began.
Among the foolish vanities of the
Irish gentry the erection of places Of
infinitely too great scale for the In
comes available to maintain them has
been conspicuous. AS q consequence
you see in many cases vast mansions
sadly In need of paint, more or less out
of repairs and surrounded by ill-kept
grounds. 1t is quite common to see
in the hands of a man with 910, 900 q
year an area of pleasure ground and
garden for the maintenance of which
thrice that amount would be deemed
requisite in England. The extent
OF the demense is amazing in some
Irish seats. At Curraghmore Gord
Waterford's) it is 5000 acres. At Rock
ingham, Mr.. King HArman's, 5000.
At another seat you travel through
about five miles Of private road from
the turnpike road to the house. Many
of these houses contain from 40 to so
rooms, and have cost from $15, 1000 to
over $500, 900. In some are splendid
statuary, &c. This applies to some in
very remote places, Lord Sligo's in
Mayo, for instance. About the finest
mansion In the country is Lord Bel
more's in Fermanagh. It has crippled
the finances of the family to this day.
There are very few parks under deer
in Ireland-probabIy not thirty in the
whole country. Where they exist the
park is rarely around the house as in
England, but in place apart. Red
deer are only found in Kerry.

The Diffusion of Bacteria.

The researches of NJ. Pasteur and
Darwin have shown how earth worms
may aid the diffusion of small organ.
isms, some of which may produce dis
ease. Professor Scbn etzler states that
the objections of earthworms always
contain numerous living bacteria and
their germs (the hay.bacterium in
cl1ded). 1t is clear that bacteria in
enormous quantity fl ,at in the air
and Professor Schneider points out
small apparatus traversed by about
5000 cubic centimetres of air per min
ute, which may give information as to
those floating germs. This is no other
than the nasal cavity, on the mucous
lrface of which air-particles are de-
posted. To observe these he advises
injecting the nose with distilled water
Completely sterilized) by means of a
glass syringe previously calcined. The
liquid so obtained is put in one per-
fectly clean watch glass and covered
by another. With a microscope mag
nifying 700 or 800 one finds among
the various particles in the liquid,
some real live bacteria. If the liquid
be kept a few days in glass tube her
medically sealed the bacteria are found
to have increased very considerably.
One sees bdcterium termo. aibro, spiril-
luna, bacillus, subtilis, even some infu-
soria, and spores and fragments of
fungi. Professor Schneider has fur
ther successfully cultivated the organ
liz I'd germs by means of mixture of
gelatine and distilled water.
Why do not those bacteria in the
nasal cavity always multiply and de-
velop and penetrate to the windpipe
and the lungs? Their progress is
doubtless opposed by the vibratory
movement of ella Tor minute hairs) in
the air passages, and the weakly aka
line reaction of the nasal mucous may
Git is also suggested) be unfavorable to
some of them. Cohn has proved that
bacteria producing acid fermentation
perish in liquids with alkaline reac
ton. Infectious bacteria may, how
ever, multiply to formidable extent
on living mucous surfaces, witness the
growth of the naicrocOccus of diphthe-
ria, brought by the air into the air pas
sages al-O the bacterium of snthrax.
The bacillus of tubercle, as Koch has
lately shown, may be transmitted
from one person to another by the air
passages. Professor Schneider thinks
hay fever may also be due to bacteria
entering the nose. While the devel-
opment of bacteria on normal mucous
surfaces is usually limited, millions of
them are found in the OBJECTIONS of
healthy children.

The Power of Figures.

II is stated that the cost of shoeing a
horse with eight nails to each shoe,
commencing at one cent for the first
nail and doubling the amount of each
successive nail, amounts in the total
to forty-two million, nine hun bred
and forty-nine thousand, six hundred
and seventy-two dollars and ninety
five cents. This is alto gether too much
money for shoeing horse, though no
doubt the blacksmith might be pre-
vailed upon to throw off the odd nine
ty-five cents. A cheaper plan would
be to pay him one cent for the first
nail, and then take the horse home,
and return him next day and begin
over again, commencing at the second
nail at one cent, and so on until the
horse was shod. This would consume
thirty-two days in the shoeing, but
the owner of the animal would save q
big pile of money.

association. It is believed this volun-
tary tax will yield Is .0C0 forms a year,
while the students will probably be
just as well off as if they had taken
the drink. incidentally statistics are
to be gathered about beer consumption
by German students.
Other educational matters of inter.
est are un Ter discussion. Thus, gym
nastic exercises on an extensive scale
are being introduced in the schools of
France. There has been o.
late years a decided movement
In favor of this kind of training.
Many gymnastic societies have been
established, are in Furnishing condi-
ton, and are having reflex influence
upon the young. In Paris public
gymnasiums are being established. In
England again. the equipments for gen.
eral primary education are being added
to. In the school year which closed
aug 0Ay lOA 4Ot3OOO
new pupils were provided, the
scnoOl registers show 100000
more children to be enrolled than a
year ago, while the average attendance
has increased by over 100, 900. Night
schools, however, in which alone great
classes of the community can be
taught, ARE unfortunately diminishing.
There are only one-half as many of
them as in 1870, while the falling off
in enrolment is from rs, 900 to SO, 500.
The present ratio of night schools to
day schools is to 20; twelve years
ago it was to 5. The character of the
instruction afforded in the schools
throughout the United Kingdom is
improving from year to year.

A Russian Prince.

A Russian Prince died at st. Peters
burg lately who contradicted all the
popular notions of Russian Princes.
This was Orlof Davidoff, the son and
nephew of the five famous brothers
Orlof Of the days of Catherine. This
Davidoff was the friend Of Sir Walter
Scott and Goethe, a pamphleteer and
essayist himself of no mean pretension,
but above all a humanitarian. Being
one of the largest land owners in Rus
STA he devoted himself to the eleva-
ton of his former serfs, foun ded in
dustriaI and other schools for them,
with system and appliances far in
advance of those in England. Many
of our readers will doubtless remem.
Der the exhibit made by the serfs at

a robust, handsome woman, looking
even better than yeu do now? You

don't either. No young woman can
arise in the middle of the forenoon
read trashy novels, take no exercise
except an occasional promenade, eat
sweetmeats, do no work, and keep late
hours, and at the same time lay foun-
dalton for good health at forty. 1t is

twenty, but to be healthy and hand.

them; they take everything in the

never consider it in all its different

A Queer Mode OF Self-Defence

oldest of all defensive methods Is
that Of swapping off the tail. The
blind worm, or slow-worm, is little
snake-like lizard common in the Old
World. When alarmed it contracts
its muscles in such manner and de
gree as to break its tail off at consid
cradle distance from the end. But
how can this aid it? The detached tail
then dances about very lively, holding
the attention of the offender, while the
lizard himself sinks away. And
for a considerable time the tail
retains its capability of twisting and
jumping every time it is struck.
The lizard will then grow another
tail, so az to be prepared for another
adventure. There are other lizards
which have a similar power, though
in less degree.
