GREAT STORM AT THE WEST.
Damage Done In Chicago and Else
Where-Telegraphic communica-
ton Destroyed.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-A high wind, accom-
panied by a driving rain, has been prevail
ing here since early this morning. The
storm tore through the trees Of Douglas,
of hurricane. Soft naples and saplings
were twisted off close to their trunks and
hurled over the tops of the large trees. Two
buildings on Madison street, near Garfield
Park. were picked up by. the wind and
pounded to pieces on the prairie. Street car
conductors and drivers who were caught in
teeth a the gale say that it was only with
the Greatest difficulty they held themselves
from being thrown from their cars. All the
streets in the western and southwestern por-
tion of the city are Uttered with broken
trees and shivered sign boards. The Signal
Service officer reporSs that the storm is rapid
ly advancing in northeaSterly direction
and that it is becoming severe. Very high
winds still prevail on the lakes. The storm
has been attended with considerable rain
fall this station showing half an inch of
water. The wind here is blowing at the
rate of 20 miles an hour and has attained
velocity of from As to so miles on the lake.
The reports show that the storm extends
can be obtained as the wires are down in
almost every direction. A cyclone between
Ypsilanti and Elkhart, Ind, tore down all
the wires in that neighborhOod, and on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway the
top of a car was blown off and carried against
the wires with such force as to wreck them
all.
Telegraph Wires Down.
TOLEDO, Oct. 14.-All the wires between
here and Chicago and st. Louis are blown
down or grounded and fearful storms prevail
west of here. There is big yacht race for
$1,000 on Lake Erie to-day and great fears
are expressed for safety of yachtsmen. The
judges boat and steamer Waite put into
Monroe. The yachts have not been heard
from for several hours. The wind is blowing
A miles an hour here and at least go ON the
lake. Thousands of dollars worth of houses
have been wrecked.
Fearful excitement prevails. Several
street cars were blown from the track,
freight ears have been demolished and six
yachts riding at anchor broke loose and were
smashed to pieces. Nothing has been heard
from them or from several large vessels. 1t
is feared they have gone to the bottom of tho
lake.
A storm to-day struck Toledo about noon
and from that time till three o'clock the
velocity of the wind was 45 miles per hour,
and considerable damage was done in a
small way by blowing down chimneys,
breaking in show windows, unroofng bnild-
ings, blowing down telegraph and telephone
lines and overturning shade trees. A two
story frame house was raZed to the ground.
There were no casualties. Reports from
northwestern Ohio bring news of similar
damage. There was much excitement here
during the afternoon as four yachts, one
from Detroit and three from here were en-
gagged in a race on Lake Erie. The yachts,
however, all arrived safe at Monroe, Mich,

with reporter Of electrical tendencies,
said:
1T would be premature just at present

original investigation. There is much
% be learned yet in the field of electric
lily, both rs to means Of production and
methods of utilization. So far as the
conversion Of steam power into electric
energy is concerned there is little left to
be desired, rs our present dynamos give
IN efficiency of IS per cent. out of pos
sible 100-and when the real is within 5
per cent. Of the ideal there is not much

verting heat into power the mechanical

A scuIptor's First Work.

Mrs. j. w. Thomas, a sister of the
sculptor J. Q. A. Ward, has a curious
statuette in alabaster. about six inches
high. under glass case in the drawing
room of her handsome country-seat near
Newburg-on-th the Hudson. 1t is the figure
of an lrishman who used to do chores for
her family thirty-five years ago in Brook
Ign, and is wonderfully likelike and
full, even to the patches in his trousers,
the rent in his coat and the creases in
his narrow-brim, stove-pipe hat. The
work was executed with a penknife by
her brother, then in his teens, while on
visit at her house. 1t 80 pleased her
that she took it to the sculptor II. X.
Brown. Madam" said he, admiring it,
"this hoy has something in him." Fol
six years afterward Mr.. Ward was a
pupil in Browns studio, laying the
foundations of the most prosperous
career yet achieved by an American
sculptor. Boston Budget.

Climate Of the Isthmus.

A very unfavorable account of the
sanitary condition of the isthmus of
Panama is given by French physician,
DR.. A Nicolas, who was sent out from
Paris to study the climate which pre-
walls along the route of the inter-oceanlc
canal. There are many hotter parts of
the world, but few, if any which are
more unhealthful. The atmosphere Is
saturated with moisture, particularly in
the day time; heavy mists prevent free
radiation, and the local influences at the
towns of Panama and Colon are especially
pernicious to health. The climate of the
lsthmus produces an enervation which
we are told lis characterized by loss Of
memory, persistent sleeplessness, and
peculiarly passive and profuse perspira-
ton." 1t is evident that the great canal
must cost Thousands Of lives as well ar
millions Of dollars. Chicago Herald.

Central America. Tree Killer"

One Of the forest curiosities of the
isthmus of Darien and lower Central
America is the matapalo or tree killer.
This starts in life as climber upon the
trunks of large forest trees. and, owing
to its marvellously rapid growth, SOON
reaches the lower branches. II then be.
gins to throw out many shoots, which
entwine themselves all around the trunk
and branches, and also aerial tendrils
which, as soon as they reach the ground,
take root In few years this gigantic
parasite will completely envelope the
trunk Of the tree which has upheld il
and kill 1t. The whole Of the inner dead
tree will then rot away, leaving the hol-
low matapalo standing alone and
hourishing. Boston Transcript
