Great Floods I'm Norm r.ro,,no

RALEIGH, n. c., July "A -Rains in
nearly all parts of North Carolina con
ttnue, as they have for oyer q month
past. The damage is in many cases ir
reparable. West Of the Blue Ridge rain
has fallen for six weeks or mere. The
news from Pender County ia that for a
fortnight past constant rains have so
swollen the streams as to food gree.
tracts Of country. 1t is the greatest
food since 1867. Farmers on the Cape
Fear river have lost all their crops, and
many have been forced 10 leave their
homes On account of the flood. Many
turpentiue d1stilleries are under water,
and stores and dwellings are de
serted. All the lowlapd crops in the
State are injured, ana only in a few
sections on stuff uplauds is there much
prospect of any sort OF crops. The
damage In many sections IL well nigh
total, and in others from one-Quarter to
one ha4f.

The most remarkable and interesting
feature of the development Of tornadoes
is the fact that they nearly always form
southeast of a moving center of low
pressure, and their tracks, scattered Mere
and there, conform closely to the
progressive direction of the main
storm. For example, on Feb. 10,
1884, forty-four tornadoes occurred in
Georgia, Alabama and South Caro- a,
but principally in Georgia and Alaba.. la.
They developed at a distance of from 500
to 1000 miles from a storm center that
moved across the northern extremity
of the Rocky mountains in Montana,
thence southeasterly through Dakota,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin to northern
Illinois and Indiana, northward through
ing north of Quebec.
This sudden sharp urn of the storm
center southwark into Illinois and In.
diana seems TO have relation to the I'M
precedentedly large number of tornadoes
that developed not far from the south
Atlantic coast, extending inland rs far
as southern Illinois and Indiana. This
southwark lunge Of a mass of cold, moist
air seems to have caused the abnormal.
conditions of temperature and dew point,
and the high winds necessary to aus
the most tremendous exhibition of de
structive tornado power yer recorded by
the signal service. This invariable loca-
ton southeast of the storm center is one
Of the main peculiarities of tornado de-
velopment upon which the predictions
depend.-Popular Science Monthly.

Considering only tho ports Of Port
land and Boston, Newport, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans
and San Francisco, it is computed that
665, 000, 900 pounds sterling are now
exposed to destruction or contribution
without any source Of defense worth
speaking of. 1t is computed that rather
more than 10, 000, 900 pounds sterling, il
properly applied, would render these
ports impregnable. That is to say, a
premium Of $40 per cent. is required
in order TO insure this enormous amount
of public and private property. If this
premium We're spread oven six years,
during which time the defenses would
be in hand, the actual premium would
be only $40 per cent.
1t is n marked characteristic of Demo
cratic systems of government in mod.
ern times that they are comparatively
indifferent to those military pre-
cautions which are essential to the
safety Of the state from the attacks OF
foreign enemies. The -encroachments
about which they chiefly concern them
selves are those Of a Democratic char
acter. This has been the case in our
W islands until quite recently Lon
