REFUGEEs VINO ARE SENT BACK.
Finishing u sitting Process which is Imper-
rcctly Done In Europe.

The Hebrew Emgrant Aid Society sent
back to Russia yesterday twenty families,
numbering aboutsffty persons, of the Jewish
refugees who recently came from that country.
A. A. Levy, Assistant Secretary Of the society,
said yesterday that he believed an erroneous
impression was prevalent rs to the policy OF
the society in the matter. Many thought that
those who had been returned were sent back
because they were unwilling to work or were
DESTROYS of returning. Such he said. is not
the case The officers Of the society determine
every case upon its merit and return only
those who are unable to support themselves or
their families either because Of physical inca
pacity or for other reasons. and are likely to
become public charges. The sending Of Rus
slams Jpws TO this country has been indiscrim-
inate: hence the sitting which should have
been done on the other side has now to be done
here. Persons who should not have been al
lowed to land. under the laws governing the
Emigrant Cummi9sion are turned over to that
body, whose duty II is TO compel the steamship
lines that brought hem here 10 take them back
Mr., Levy also said that the Impression that
the refugees do not want TO work Is erroneous
Very few have returned from tho employment
found for them, and onlya very few complaints
have been made by those who have employed
the refugees. Now that tho refugees under
stand their position and surroundings here,
and with labor bureau for the men in Castle
Garden and ono for tho women in East Broad

A Burglars Romance.
From the pittsburp Dispatch.

There is a. romance in the life of Hor-
ace Hampton, alias Little Horace, the
bank sneak thief, who figured in the
celebrated Safe Deposit robbery in this
city, and who is now doing penance in
the eastern penitentiary for attempted
burglary, which has just come to light.
Horace, who is southerner by birth, as
are Walter Sheridan and Billy Forester,
two other notorious individuals, was in
Richmond, Va, just before the close of
the war. In his hearing and in his con-
versation he readily passed for what he
seemed to be-a gentleman of leisure.
He succeeded in gaining admission to q
prominent social circle and rapidly
formed the acquaintance of daughter
of one of the leading officials in the con-
federate government. After a brief
honeymoon the supposed wealthy BRIDE
groom left Richmond to go further
south on alleged pressing business con-
nected with his plantation. Time rolled
by and no tidings of his whereabouts
came to the distressed wife until nearly
a year had sped away, and then came
rumors, which deepened into positive
conviction, that the husband was a
criminal adventurer, and had been con-
demned to an imprisonment in north
ern dungeon for daring robbery in a
banking house. The effect on the once
beautiful and vivacious girl was calami-
tous. She retired to her room and never
afterward appeared in society. A few
months afterward she died, literally
broken-hearted by the disgrace which
had been visited upon her by her un-
fortunate alliance with deceiver and q
thief.

THE s0UTHs NEW INDUSTRY.

At the close of the war cotton seed
was regarded as of little or no value,
except for planting, and, consequently,
almost the entire product was thrown
away. According to the statements by
Tariff Commissioner Kenner, of Lou
isiana, it is valued at about one third
of the cotton crop. The annual pro-
duet of seed is now about two and q
half million tons over and above what
is needed for planting purposes, and the
price has reached from $15 to $40 ton.
The value of the annual yield when
made into oil.cake and other products is
estimated at from seventy-tive to hun
dred million dollars. This is a very
substantial source of wealth and mate
rial prosperity to the South, and one
whose importance is no longer unappre-
ciated by southern capitalists. The
number of mills in operation and in
progress of construction for converting
cotton seed into its valuable products is
reported at from sixty-tive to seventy,
most of which have been.started in the
past few years, and as the business is
found to be highly profitable the estab-
lishments are likely to multiply with
considerable rapidity.

THE CAUSE OF TORNADOEs.

Mr. T. B. Meury has an interesting
article on Tornadoes and their Causes in
the North American Review for Sep
tember. 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
Grinnen on the 18th of last June tray
eled 200 miles in four hours. The tor
nado belt lies between the tenth and
tiftieth parallels of latitude, although
countries having mountainous surface
are seldom visited by such storms, even
when they lie in the belt. The en-
counter between the great anti-trade
currents and the polar winds in the belt
specified is the chief cause Mr.. Maury
assigned for tornadoes.
The Mississippi Valley is described by
Mr.. Maury as ga grand continental
highway in summer for the vapor-laden
trade winds, !" which, entering ths Gulf
of Mexico, are arrested in their vest
ward current, and must find an outlet
to the northward. The anti-trades,
which form the Equatorial" current,
are simultaneously moving northward
as an upper atmospheric force. A
chance stoppage Of either Of the two
currents, causing conflict between the
cold air force from the pole and the
warm air force from the equator occa-
sions the formation Of the tornado. Mr..
Maury describes cyclone as s /. mass
OF air in violent gyration, within which
there Is 9 acentre Of rarifed air rising mp
ward md flowing ont above, the velocity
