WORKING ONES WAY.-Andrew Carne-
gle, although a man of large wealth, thor
ough culture and high character, was once
poor boy, aad he still believes that it is
better to have birthright of honest labor
than to be the petted child of rich parents
In a recent address to a graduating class. he
uses this language on the subject L" You
should be grateful to a kind Providence
for a father who has not burdeRed you
with riches. The poorest father is the rich
est one. By beeueathing the necessity 10
work, the poor man leaves richer heritage
to his son than the millionaire can give his.
Poverty at the beginning of life is a positive
blessing. hope, gentlemen, L can eoBgrat-
ulate you all upon your good fortune in this
respect, for the happy consequence is, that
it has been necessary for you to make a
choice of profession and earnestly to follow
it for an honorable livelihood. And hereia
you become not only manly and self-reliant,
considered as persons. but useful and active
members of society, and worthy citizens of
the commonwealth "-FdyBser and Aaaa-

TREES AS HousE PLANTs.-A very pretty
ornament for house or lawn is q dgaTfed
white oak, some enthusiasts making ver-
table pets of these miniature lords OF the
forest. These plants are readily raised in
iiower-pois from the acorns and require no
attention except watering. The dwarfing
the tree is effected by emitting off the tap
root every spring for few years, this pro-
cess keeping the tree of diminutive size
while it does not prevent the ordinary de-
yeiopment of new branches.

without perceptibly affecting digestion, but
that a greater quantity OF hot drink retards

circumstance in this connection was that
ncarIy ali the animals had their lower jaw
dislocated. In another locality valuable

FURTHER INCIDENTS.
Near AeXandria, man was cutting hay
with Il twn-Lnrse mower; he noticed the
falling "f the haiisinnss of unusual size,
and his team becoming unmanageable, he
unhj'ched them, and they broke away
whe1 the tornado was about 200 yards dis
tant The man felt himself growing
light" ana seemed unable TO keep his feet
upon the ground, but by great effort he
fell urol the giound and elung to the long
grass. He felt great weight upon his
b,,dy, as if by pressure his legs thrashed
up and down like two fails, and a tre
mendous force seemed pushing him towards
the storm. He escaped injury, however,
as also lis horses. which ran ont OF the
storm's track, but the mower, which was
entirely constructed Of iron, was com
pleiely destroyed.
Whenever furniture or other articles
which were held together with glue, were
reached by the cyclone, the parts We're
c!eaaiy separated as il never united, and no
injury was any time found to have been
done to the parts, except disunited, The
wheels were torn FROM one side Of 4 heavy
wagon and destroyed. while those upon
the opposite side were not touched. In an
other case the spokes were all removed
from buggy wheel without break or
scratch, leaving the hub and fellies per-
feet,
THE CONCLUSION.
From these facts and others given in the
report, the conclusions are given by the
Signal Corps Observer that there was at
the center of the tornado, or near it, a
nearly or complete vacuum, and the de-
st-uctive force was not from the
elementary principle of the phenom-
enon, but from the pressure OF the
atmosphere in its efforts TO establish an
equilibrium Hence the Observer believes
that the governing factor of the tornado
was electricity The barometer did not in
dicate the presence of any decided storm
center in the immediate vicinity. The con-
ditions for some days prior 10 the tornado
were such as To produce superabundance
of electricity. and to this agency is assigned
the appearance of the cyclone and its de-

HEAT OF THE GULF STREAM-It is well
understood that Great Britain and other
parts of northern Europe owe much to the
warming influence of the Gulf Stream.
The extent of the effect has been given in
the calculations Of DR.. James Croll, who
has found that the amount of heat con-
veyed northward in the Atlantic by this
stream is equivalent to 77,479 ESQ., 600, ,000,-
100000 foot pounds of energy per day,
which is equal to all the heat recei sed by
l $50, ,935 square miles at the equator, and
more heat than is conveyed by all the air
currents. The heat of the Arctic seas
and North Atlantic would be diminished
that much by the stoppage or diversion of
the great ocean river.

says: Herodotus relates that when Neco,
King of Egypt, undertook the work
of uniting the waters of the Mediter-
ranean and Red Seas, by means of
canal, 620000 men perished in the
work. lie then caused the work to
be stopped, and consulted an oracle, re-
ceiving the reply, "A barbarian will finish
