 Tornado Points Located.-In rA port to the French Academy of Sciences the l72 tornadoes recorded in the Uni. ted States in 1884, Mons. Faye considers it established that there is a definite portion of an area of low barometer most favorable to tornadoes The Sie. nal Service reporters are now endeavor. ing to determine this dangerous oc. tant still more accurately. A memora. ble day in the history of tornadoes was February l9, 1884, when no less than forty-fve were recorded in the south. eastern states, attended with total loss of 800 lives, 2,500 injured, 10000 house. and buildings destroyed, and l5,000 peo- pie left homeless.

 THE ARTFUL TURTLE.
By John Drees.

It may be safely asserted, that from the highest to the lowest grade ami mals have their own and wonderful devices to prey on their natural enemies, or to procure their food The turtle is a remarkable and successful fisher. The writer had the curiosity to know how this slovenly and slow amphibia lived and found to his astonishment, in 8 ninety-pound specimens stomach, three trout, as they are commonly called in the south, but which in reality are bass. On close examination, whether they had been devoured dead or alive l found that the. last had evidently not been caught by his turtleship more than twenty-four hours, as it had not decomposed any, showing the marks where it had almost been bitten in two.
 The result of my search proved to me that when the turtles appetite calls upon him. he lays down in his favorte fishing place, closes his eyes, opens his mouth to its fullest capacity, plays his angle-worm which is, to all intents and purposes, a perfect counterpart of worm on the end of his tongue, and he is ready for business The game fish which is out looking for worms, with his habitual rapidity fairly flies into the jaws of death. Thus the turtle fishes until his appetite is gratifed
 The fact that he lives on such fine food gives his flesh that richness which is so highly prized by epicures and which renders his soup so highly prized.

 THE FIRST NOVEL.
By John R. Musick.

It was the most wonderful book ever heard read. was child, how old do not know, but 1 could not have been over six or seven for know could not read it myself We lived in the great west, almost on the border of civiliza- tion Our house was built of logs, but very comfortable, with a great broad fireplace and it seems as if l can yet hear the cheerful fire cracking and roaring as it did those long winter nights
 Where my father got that novel 1 do not know, nor do know the title of it. My father was one of the few men in our neighborhood who possessed sufii- cient education to read and write, and was regarded a prodigy. It was a novel of wild adventure and love. The hero despite his rude manner, had a good heart. Every evening the plain pine board table was drawn up near the broad fireplace, a candle put on the table and my father sat and read the novel to us Mother sat in her chair plying her knitting needles, while she listened to the wonderful story. My little sister and l, too young to under stand the meaning of fiction, listened in open-mouthed wonder Nick, the hired man, half leaned and half lay on the pine table and, enraptured listened to the tale sometimes giving vent to ex- clamations of joy when the villain was worsted When father had done read ing sister and would hie away to a dark corner and there discuss, in our childish way, the thrilling incidents We had heard narrated in the tale, and wonder if they were really true. The story for months furnished pleasant themes for conversation, and though that poor novel has long since sunk into oblivion it will never fade from my memory
