Breaking a Corner.

In the early days of Michigan, when
one dealer was the source of supply for
large territory, a capitalist from the
East suddenly bought up all the tobacco
and whisky to be got hold ofin the state.
There was no railroad communication;
1t was winter, and there was no nav
igation, and every thing promised big
profit on the speculation. Prices began
to creep up and settlers to inquire and
protest, and the capitalist was rubbing
his hands and holding on, when some
thing happened He was on his way to

Youngest Man in Congress.

There is said to be an unusually large
number of young men among the men,
beers elect to the 4Sth Congress, but the
youngest man who has ever been elect
ed to Congress since the adoption of the
Federal Constitution was John Randolph
of Virginia. The New York Columbian,
of February, 1910, has the following:
His fellow-citizen considering him a
prodigy, elected him II cir representa-
tive to Congress at the juvenile age of
% years. We shall never forget the
day when the beardless legislator pre-
scented himself before Mr.. Sedgwick, the
Speaker, to take the customary oath.
Struck with his boyish appearance, he
demanded, with that sternness which
was peculiar to him, whether Mr.. Ran
dolph was of age. Ask my constituents,
sir, who sent me here, retoTted he.
which silenced the Speaker and aston
ished the other members of tie House"

lost The Apaches, he said, were armed as
well as were our own troops, and they
would pick off many good man. He did
not believe the Indians could overwhelm

Sergeant Finley, signal officer at Kan

phlet on precautions against prairie cy-
clones. Wherever possibl e, he advises
the excavation of an underground cham
Der of refuge a short distance from the
house. The earth above this chamber
should be at least three feet thick, and
the roof on level with the field or open
space. Cellar dug-outs should be exca-
waited from the west wall and toward the
west. 1t no such retreat has been pro-
vided the best place of refuge is in tine
cellar against the west wall, face fer
ward. A position againstthe south wall
rs near the southwest corner as pos
sible, will answer. II one sees the tor
nado vortex coming while he is in the
open field, he must either run to the
north or south to get out of the track
If he is near the southern edge of the
apparent path he should run south
bearing little to the east. 1t is fatal to
run to the east or northeast. In case
there is no time for escape by running,
one can only throw himself face down
ward ON the ground with his head to
the east, throwing the hands over the
head to protect it as far as possible.

A Great Bridge Lighted by Elec-
tricity.

The Brooklyn Bridge was dark and
deserted except at the gate, where the
watchmen were admitting a squad of
electricians. The bridge seemed twice
as IaIge in the darkness as it ever is in
daylight. The great cables, the thou
sands of wires and cords filling the air
overhead only added to the complicated
vastness of the structure. The river
cleaned far below, tugs and ferry boats
glided over the silvery pathway as if
they were phantom toys in scene of
enchantment. On either hand two
great cities stretched awav into the
night. Suddenly there was crackle
and a flash of MONDAY light. A grim,
greasy man in the Elm street cellar had
touched lever, and for the first time
since the world was created electricity
spanned the river. The 81, 900 candle

Prof. RathvOn's Theories About
Eels.

From the West Chester {Penn.) Record.
Only recently Prof. Rathvon, of Lam
caster, solemnly announced that all eels
went out to sea to spawn, and said he
had them migrating in hundreds. This
struck the average person as a wonder
full statement, especially when they
thought of these swarms of eels climbing
up the face OF dam breasts IL TO 20 feet
high on small streams in which little or
no water ran over the breast. 1t was an
opinion on a par with the professors
learned views on the pollen of the milk
weed, some specimens of which were
sent him from the Village Record Office
a few years ago clinging to beefs leg.
The professor promptly pronounced
these pollen vessels some kind of an in
sect. Careful observers have found out
that eels raise their young much as other
fish. generally laying their eggs on an
Old bit of timber, and our flsh reporter,
who found some of these on stick OF
rotten wood, hatched them out by keep
ing them in moderately warm water for
several days, and fed the little ones on
melted taliow or oil until they were big
enough to take care of themselves. This
spring John F. Ingram, one OF the West
Chester's famous fisherman caught an
eel in which there was Well-ueVeioped
roe. the fish being apparently nearly
ready to spawn. He said that It was the
first time in his experience that he had
ever seen such a thing, and there ar
many fishermen who never nave,
