self fast sailing craft, often making
three hundred miles day with a good
breeze. Captain Willistun says she
could have made her first voyage down
in less than forty days had she not en-.
countered southerly '.buster," which
delayed her nearly week. Captain
Willistun, who has since retired from
service, says that in overhauling the
California he found her the stoutest
vessel he had ever seen. Her frame is
of the heaviest live oak and her upper
timbers of locust and red cedar. Cap
tain Willistun first saw the California
in 1848 in Rio de Janeiro. where he was
in charge of the bark Parthian. He
thought it a rather peculiar circum-
stance that he should have become her
master after twenty-seven years. The
Captain was territorial pioneer, and
is now seventy-six years of age, and is
to-day as stanch and clipper as the old
craft which he sailed ten years ago, and
which he firmly believes will live to see
her fiftieth anniversary. "She's the
luckiest vessel / ever went to sea in"
he remarked to the reporter.-San

To Prevent Pneumonia.

As pneumonia is essentially conges-
tive disease. the best preventive meas
ures are those which avoid the causes
of congestion. Pulmonary congestion
is favored by too heavy clothing worn
in winter weather. A serious error is
the supposition that a double set of
fiannels worn next the skin affords
double protection. The fact is that in
such case the inner flannel absorbs
all secretion and perspiration, which
are there retained by the outer flannel.
An almost poultice like acton IS thus
brought about, softening the skin and
rendering it highly susceptible to the
slightest exposure.
Over-heated, ilI-ventilated rooms.
and the sudden transition from these
to the sharp outer air. are other avoid
able predispos.ng causes OF the disease.
He who uses cold sponge bath-with
brisk rubbing every morning, who
wears the lightest clothing consistent
with comfortable protection, and keeps
his Gving-rooms well ventilated and at
a mean temperature of 6S deg, is en-
ploying the best preventive treatment
of pneumonia known to sanitary
science.-Congregatiomattst.

Drying Off Cows.

If cows are not properly dried OH, II
milk in considerable amount is allowed
to collect and remain in the udder af-
ter ceasing to milk regularly there is
great danger from permanent obstruc-
ton of the milk flow in future. In
drying off COWS it is well to skip milk
ing few time before ceasing entirely.
If the quantity secreted is not large ra-
ture may be able to take care OF it by
absorbing it again into the system, but
if the flow is large the absorbing YES
sells are unable to dispose of the excess
and the milk then becomes as a for
eign substance, to be disposed Of in
the next best way not to endanger the
life of the animal. The milk may be-
come cheesey and the cheesey matter
may fill the ducts and permanently
close them to the flow of milk. 1t is a
good rule to milk drying up cow just
often enough to keep the milk ducts
free from clotted milk. AS calving
time approaches extra care should be
taken to see that the udder does not
become too much crowded with milk.

Fighting Tornadoes.

Mr.. John F. Schultz has thought OF a
way to fight tornadoes, which he de.
scribes in letter to the Scientific Ame,-
ican. His plan, in brief, is to blow
them up with gunpowder. A keg OF
powder is to be kept to the southwest OF
the house or village to be protected.
The reason for placing it at that par
ticular point of the compass is because
experience shows that tornadoes gen
orally move toward the northeast
When the black and dreadful funnel Oh
tornado-cloud is perceived bounding,
whrling and roaring across the coun-
try toward the powder-keg, Mr.. Schultz
would have a cool-headed man wheel
the powder into line with the approach
ing storm, then ret re about one hun
dred yards to the northwest. wait until
the devouring air M monster was just over
the keg. and then fire the powder-by
electricity. we suppose. His idea is
that, as it is well-known character
istic of tornadoes to take long leaps
through the air. sometimes skipping
wide reaches of country, charge OF
gunpowder properly applied would
give tornado lift that would save a
village.
Mr.. Schultz also thinks that tor
nado might not merely be bounced in
this manner, but that with sufficiently
large charges Of powder it could be an.
nih lated. At any rate, by means of
ser.es of explosions properly timed,
Mr.. Schultz believs that tornadoe:
could be kept. as he says, con high,

sponsible to Mr.. Weaver or his man Fri.
