The Dip Theory.

AUSTIN, Mimi, July %, 1883.
Mr.. ED1TOR:-I have observed in your
paper, the article from the London
World, recommending sleeping with the
feet towards the equator, and in your last
issue, DR.. Wight's opinion that the direc-
ton we reclinc in sleep, is of no conse-
quencc. When doctors disagree the laity
may have an opinion, and I have reached
the conclusion that no one ever attained
long life by posture in sleeping, unless
they slept with due regard to the dip as
well as the inclination of the needle
The needle dips in Minnesota about 70
degrees, and person six feet hi gin should
sleep with the head about four feet four
inches lower than his heels, and pointing
about 9 degrees east of north. In the vicin-
ity of the magnetic pole north of Hud
sons Bay the Esquimaux desiring to attain
the age of 14 years, should sleep stand
ing on their heads, with their feet slight
ly deviating one way or another from a
vertical direction as they chance to build
their igloos east, west, north or south of
that point. Yours Truly,
G. ]. SHoRTT.

and most of the current diseases yield to it's
action. have used it in the case of dyspep-
tic young lady, with the most gratifying re-
suits. 1t seemed to accomplish with ease
what the usual prescriptions and treatment
for that miserable malady failed wholly to

troublesome tonic condition of the stomach
of long standing. 1t is the ideal purifier and
invigOrant."
Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call especial attention
to the fact that after April l6, SO, the name
and style of this preparation will hereafter be
"Parkers Tonic.' The word ''Ginger' is
dropped, for the reason that unprincipled
dealers are constantly deceiving their patrons
by substituting inferior preparations under
tho name of Ginger; and as ginger is an un-
important flayoring Ingredient In our Tonic,
we are sure that our friends will agree with US
as to the prOpriety of the change. There will
be no change, however, in the preparation
itself; and all bottles remaining In the hands
of dealers, wrapped under the name of "Par-
ker's Ginger Tonic" contain the genuine
medicine II the signature of HIsCOx & Co. is

peraturc is reached low enough to begin
the condensation into clouds of the nth
ertO invisible moisture. With the fOrma.
ton of the cloud the tendency to rise in
creases, so that in fact an upward suction
is experienced under the cloud and more
air is drawn in from all sides to feed this
suction. But the air floating upward to-
ward the cloud falls into u rapid rotation
around some central axis, precisely as
water at the centre of the washbOwl is
vastly more rapid than that Of the parti-
cles at the edge, so the rotation of the air
increases rapidly as it approaches the cloud
toward which it is being drawn. The
laws of mechanics explain this rotation
perfectly. A similar phenomenon is seen
in the motion of comets, which are drawn
toward the sun, and rcvolve around him
with immense rapidity when they
very slowly when at a distance. 1t is very
waterspouts the rapid rotation going on
at the under surface of the cloud, and
if the cloud is rapidly fed with warm
moist air, the indraft will be steadily &C.
tolerated until from it there descends to
the very surface Of the earth a whirlpool
of inrushing air. The supply of moist
air principally determines whether cloud

whirling spout shall reach down to the
earth or whether it shall reach only part of
the way down and cause little or no dam

whatever causes sudden up-rush of
moist air" continued the professor, ''con-
tributes to the formation of the cloud or
the tornado. Hills or low mountains are
very effective in this respect. But it is
equally important to consider the cool,
dry air that flows from the north toward
low center and becomes west wind as
it turns around the low and runs into the
mass of warm, moist air coming from the
south, and being denser it underruns and
lifts up this warm air, and is in many
cases more effective than a mountain in
local storms. A beautiful illustration of
this occurred on the Goth and 3Oth of May,
1879, when thirteen tornadoes, to say
nothing of many other smaller thunder
storms, occurred in portions of Kansas,
Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska.
Can cyclones occur anywhere, or are
they confined to certain regions?"
''They can occur in any region of the
globe, was the reply, "when there is a
large enough mass of warm, moist air
rapidly rising and forming this indraft.
The actual frequency is much affected by
the climate and the local topography,
and, as far as our records at present 30,
we estimate the relative frequency of
their occurrences during the past twenty
years as about as follows"
For every 10000 square miles of its area
Georgia may expect six tOrnadOes in the
course of ten years, Illinois eleven, In
diana nine, Iowa six, Kansas eight, Mis-
sour eight, Ohio six"

EVERY dollar paid to newspaper,
either on subscription, advertising or
jobbing accounts, is so much toward
making the paper better and more cred
liable representative of the place where it
is published. A good local paper is one
of the very best advertisements any place
can have, and every good citizen should
be interested in giving it hearty support
in every legitimate way, not for charity 8
sake, but from the fact that the paper
gives value received for patronage be-
slowed upon it-every issue contributing
to the reputation of the town abroad and

Rockford Reveille.
True, every word of it. More often
than is generally believed the paper makes
the town and not the town the paper,
especially in the cases of smaller towns
and cities. A good paper must have a
large circulation, and the interests of the
town demand that much of it be abroad.
Nothing is ever lost in sending your local
paper to friends and relatives in other
states for it builds up the paper and
advertises the town.

AMONG the great and growing indus
tries of Southern Minnesota is the Cement
Works of Mankato. About two miles
south and west of the city lie vast beds
Of cement rocks, specimens of which may
be seen in this Office, which are unsur-
passed by any deposits in the United
States, and equaled only by the best of
France. An eastern company has pur-
chased sixty to hundred acres and is
now erecting large kilns and a grinding
mill having capacity of 600 barrels of
cement day. The company has large
capital and purpose to make the works
second to none in the states. More than
100 men are now employed, and Mankato
already feels the impulse which this new
enterprise gives to her awakening bust
ness.
This is simply another proof of what
has been repeated almost weekly in our
columns. Southern Minnesota is richly
supplied with every variety of building
material. What one place may lack will
be found in other towns near by. In
deed, every town is surrounded by the
best of farming lands, and is not entirely
dependent on manufactures but the
manufactures all add to the growth and
activity of city. We are glad our
neighbor city has found such mine of
wealth, for her interests and those Of our
own little city are closely identified. We
may not have any deposits of cement
stone, but we have many advantages for
other kinds of enterprises and little push
is all that is needed to prosecute them to
success. At all events let all the towns
and cities Of our portion of the state work
and rejoices in each others good
fortune.

probable, after all, that the people of
Minnesota really do miss the usual appro-
priatiOn for rivers and harbOrs. by means
of it they have been able to build up at
government expense the finest water
power privilege of the world. This
enables them to turn vast mills and to
make much flour BY the aid of the river

float their pine logs down stream. 1t is
