Tornadoes and How to Avoid
Them.

The signal service bureau has In

Finley, containing 3 review OF the
observations of dx hundred fornadoes.
with cancellations from the resor-
ded facts and suggestions as to the
methods which ought to be followed
In the investigation Of such storms.
The storm studies have occurred du
ring the past 81 years in all parts OF
the country. From these 1t would ap-
pear that tornadoes occur most fire.
quently in summer, and in the month
of June. They have occurred, how
ever, more frequently in April thar
in July, and In May and September
than In August. Kansas Is the State
that has been most s~ffiicted, and that
Notwithstanding the fact that the
period during which 'tornadoes have
visited 1t has been comparatively
short. The State has had 81 t~ornadoes
from 1859 to 1881 Illinois has had 81
from 1854 to 1891 Missouri has had "A

IS fro n 1881 to 1881; Georgia SO from
1894 to 1881, lows 81 from 1854 to 1881 /;
Ohio % from 1928 to 1881, and Indiana
81 from 1882 to 1880. The States and
Territories that have had only n
each from 1874 to 1881 are: Colorado,
California, Indi n Territory, Nevada,
New Mexico, Montana, Rhode Island,
West Virginia, and Wyoming. The
storms occur most frequently from
five to six in the afternoon, although
there is DO hour Of the day thai has
been entirely free from them.
The average width of the path of
destruction is 1885 feet, and the storm
cloud runs with q velocity Of from
twelve to sixty miles. The wind
within the vortex sometimes sttains a
velocity of 800 miles a n hour, the aver
age velocity being 392 miles.
Among the most valuable sugges-
lions of the paper are those with refer
ence to the popularity Of the move
ments of tornado clouds, containing
rules for arriving at their violence. A
tornado cloud always has a center, and
IL always moves forward from west TO
east. 1t may, however, sway from
side to side In its progressive move-
ment. Changes in motion are some
times very sudden. In the event OF a
sudden change the observer. who is
east or south of east of the storm,
should move quickly to the south. If
he is northeast lac should nov to the
north. If within a very short distance
of the cloud the observer should run
east bearing to the south.

The Other Side of It.

So you think yoI would like to
marry a young woman who las the
domestic accomplishments" could
broil q steak, wash, iron, cook, etc
ETC., do you young man? Let's see.
We presume you have the qualities OF
domesticity in abundance, yourselfP
You could preside at the table with
dignity, you could carve a tough tur-
key without swearing, you could wait
on the guests in a manner thai would
not put yonr wife to the blush for
your awkwardness? You have all
those little choring knacks about
house that would lift the burden from
the partner of your joysP For instance,
YOU would take most excellent care of
your own wardrobe. Never throw
your boots, trousers, dirty collars and
shirts in nine different directions /;
you would eagerly see that 'als were
always in readiness for the range, that
the furnace was kept at just that even
burning gait which makes all comfor-
table you would never get mad and
curse and howl because q potato
dropped down the sink spout; you
would ALWAYS be Gust so pleasant ~
And then, of course, in case your wife
should be indisposed, we presume you
would have the grace to eat q cold
meal or two in the pantry instead of
dining down town and telling your
wifi how much better things were cook
ed there than at home7 And again In
case your wife had guests, you would
be cadable of entertaining them with
sensible conversation or topics of Gull
ture and common sense, without even
once introducing "shop" talk, "horse''
talk, ''street" talk, "percents,' peg
ging," "strsddles," blinds" "full
hands" "fushes," and those matters
which occupy so much of the valuable
time of our best young men? You are
fitted to all these requirements, are
you ? then you deserve a wife that can
broil a b~eefsteak, play the piano, or
bring to you q dowry of $40, 900 a year.

The Excise Commissioners have
been examining the Penal Code to as
certain II it effects the present laws
regulating the sale Of liquors in this
city. A statement was made In the
Legislature recently that the Code
would abolish the whole system OF ex-
else laws, although such q result was
not intended by the cempiler' OF the
C>de. Commissioner Hart said tnst
he had been unable to find anything
in the code relating to excise matters
which would oesr SUCH an interpre-
tation. All acts relating to the sale OF
liquors were left out of the Code, but
such omission could not destroy the
force of these acts. The council to
the Board of Excise had examined the
code also and had failed 10 hhd any
section which interfered with the
present excise laws. As at present
advised, Commissioner Hart said, the
Excise Board would take no steps to
influence the Legislature to amend
the code.

apparatus was tried during the last
week of April at the Alighieri Thea

opened simultaneously, as if through
some spiritual agency. The inventor
hopes to improve his apparatus SO that
