TORN DO RkDICTIOk.
| How Loss of Life and Property May he
AS.rted.

TO the Editor Of The Globe Republic:
NEW YORK, Oct. "a.
The attention Of congress is called to the
tact that some OF the terrible loss OF life and
property due 10 tornadoes can be averted 10
lsS2 Prot 7. B. Naury asserted what was
then the fact, that the prediction Of a tornado
was triumph yet TO be attained by the SCI
ence OF meteorology. Iu less than two years
from that time some predictions Of toruadoes
were successfully made by Lieutenant
John P. Finley, OF the Sigsal
Service. The percentage OF verl-
ned pre- iictloHs is steadily incr eased by
knowledge OF the average conditions precei-
ing each series of tornadoes, thus making the
predictions more defnlte aud local with each
succeeding year. Already the predictions u
safety tor the day are effective. OF 3,22s
predictions unfavsrable to tornsioes, made IN
1894, 3,2Ol were verified, and of 80 predic-
tions that tornadoes would occur, made in
April and June, 1884, Is were verified. OF
10 predictions that tornadOes would occur
made in June and July, 1888, . were gem
orally verified. When tornadoes were pre-
dicled, IN no instance did violent storms fail
W O''Hii 'i'htt lDIuhlDts, OF uhlI.
The failure OF some predictions is doubles
due to inaccurate and insufficient reports from
sparseiy settled regions. While it is admitted
that nothing like absolute control OF these
phenomena has been attained, yet the above
hgures clearly justify the presence OF tornado
signals either Of safety or danger at every tel
egraph station in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri.
Illinois, Iowa, Ohio Michigan, Wisconsin,
Georgia and North Carolina, especially dur
iR April, May, June July, August and Sep
tember. 1t is hoped that congress will direct
the signal service to submit estimates OF the
expense necessary to establish such system

and dollars Tor flags or colored discs, and for

Under tho apple-tree she sat
Ny little love. in her broad-6rimmed hat
And her blue-chocked pinafore.
The robin above her swelled his throat,
But the maiden's song rivaled his sweetest
note,
Though he warbled it Ger and Ger.
Oh, shining and red were the skins that fell
From the sweet ripe apples she pared so well
You may help" she said, III you will"
And whispered: "sweet aslfhe apples may be,
know who is sweeter still"
The brtm of her hat fell lower down,
And hid from my gaze her eyes so brown,
AS she steadily worked away.
But slyly whispered; would 1t might be
That we might be like the apples you see,
And paired by the parson some day"
Op went the pinafore over her face,
Till of her bushes could see no trace.
Then-what do you think did?
10 hide the sorrow and shame felt
In deep contrition beside her knelk
Aud my face in that pinafOre hid.
I've often wondered whether twas wrong,
Up in that apple-tree,
igave sweet Katie kiss or two;
And Katie, of course-what else could she
do?-
Gave both of them back to me.
And the pinafore-bless the thing, I say,
For the friendly shelter it gave that day.
Kept our sweet secret well,
ana hid from the sun and the robins view
Sweet Katie's bushes, and helped me- too,
A certain story to tell.

There is one exclus We and intellectual

the individual arrives at a dose daily,
the dose itself is increased till as much

But it must not be understood that
those people can consume the drug
altogether with impunity. When they

once begun to indulge in it he must
continue to indulge; for if he ceases
the arsenic In his system poisons him ;
or, as it is popularity expressed, the
last dose kills him. Indeed the arsenic
eater must not only continue his in.
dulgence-he must also increase the
quantity of the drug, SO that it is ex~
tremely difficult to stop the habit; for,
as sudden cessation causes death the
gradual cessation produces such ter
rible heart gnawing that it may prob
ably be said that no genuine arsenic
eater ever ceased to eat arsenic while
life lasted. Tt is curious that while,
on the one hand, the human organ
ism is SO remarkably sensitive to arse
mic, man may, on the other hand,
indulge in these poisonous doses
for yeafs. This is probably owing
to the fact that arsenic acts on
the skin, and thus is being constant
ly carried out of the system, and also
because it is readily eliminated by the
kidneys. Now, this prevents any ac-
cumulation going on in the tissues,
and thus what might seem almost
mythical is at least brought within
the range of possibility. It has been
calculated that this process of elimi-
nation has to be carried on for four
teen days before a given dose is en-
tirely removed. But yet the fact re-
mains that those Austrian peasants
can swallow arsenec to an extent and
with an impunity nprecedented in
the annals of toxicology. For the
solution of the problem we may offer
the following considerations: First
of all, the human organism may be-
come accustomed to NEST it not all
poisons. if they are administered at
first in exceedingly small doses; and
in this way poison, as is well known,
may become a 'mithridate" to itself
Secondly, though the human Or
ganism is extremely sensitive
to arsenic, yet some constitu-
tions msy be less so than others ;
thus, for instance, the arsenic eaters
of Styria are all of them robust moun-
taineers, whose forefathers have eaten
arsenic from generation to generation,
SO that, as may be supposed, each gen
Grafton has become more arsenic proof
than the one before it. Thirdly, like
most mountaineers, the Styrians con
sumo large quantities of milk and
butter, as well as other food rich in
fats, when the oily matters to certain
extent unite with the arsenic, forming
an arsenical soap, which does not so
readily enter into the blood, SO that
the total amount of arsenic actually
assimilated is proportionally small.
From this we see that if the Syrian
partakes of an unusual amount of this
deadly drug he is at the same time not
only less susceptible to it's influence
By his hereditary descent and habits,
but his food supplies him with some
sort of an antidote.
