was strong and more active. The rapid ad-
vance in prices brought out considerable
stock which had formerly been held back,
owing 10 the low prices previously prevailing,
but toward the close buyers were holding
OF. and were generally bidding less than the
current quotations. This has had the
effect of u.ing factors to again withdraw
offerings and le5senlng the oherlng stock. me
has stimulated controlling markets. and
prices were very firm and steadily advanced,
closing fully 2s97-i6c. higher than week
ago. The total sales for the week were l4,6OO

Thinning Root Crops.

II may seem sometimes hard thing
TO do to pull up promising plants and
throw them away. and a farmer is thus
tempted to permit the roots to stand
too close in the rows. But it is indis-
pensable to success that the plants
have plenty of room. Large roots
weighing from ten to sixteen pounds
can not be grown at less than sixteen
inches apart, and eighteen inches il
better still. At this distance, with full
rows. there will be $500 roots TO the
acre, and if the roots average ten
pounds. which is not at all difficult to
reach, there will be forty-nine tons to
the acre At half the distance the
roots may only average three pounds,
making only little more than twenty
nine tons to the acre. The same ap-
plies to corn, for all plants need abun-
dant feeding space for the roots. and
must not be crowded ch.-Americar

ORIGIN OF CYCLONES
The Theory Advanced by One of the Lead
ing Scientists OF the Age.

The Theory Advanced by One of the Lead.
ing Scientists OF the Age.
In recent paper on the 'Conserva-
ton of Energy in the Atmosphere"
DR.. Warner Siemens gives the follow.
ing theory Of the origin of cyclones:
The comparative vacuum formed al
the center of a cyclone can produce
suction only in the direction of the
axis of the cyclone, thus either raising
the water upon the surface over which
ii rotatcs. or drawing down air from
the higher regions of the atmosphere.
The existence of such descending
current of air within tornado is con-
firmed by the clear sky and quiet ar
often observed at its center. We must
imagine, says D.. Siem.ns. q local
cyclone rs produced by an impulse Of
sGpcrheated air, due tor some local caus.
or ether. givca at the boundaries
of an upper and lower tract of
disturbance Of the neutral equi-
librium OF IN atmosphere at rest,
the upper cooled strata of air. which
have a tendency 20 descend. We must
thus have an outer descending current
formed rounl the ascending one, by
means of which as much air descends
as has been carried up by the ascending
current If the disturbance of equi.
librium embraces extended upper and
lower strata of ar, the descending
masses will produce an increase Of
pressure in the neighborhood of the
cvclone. gradually extending to the
surface of the earth, and on the other
hand into the highest regions of the
air. and transfer its ciS RIGA continually
into new superheated masses OF all
which ascend in the cyclone. while
part of the descending external cyclone
circulating in the same direction as
cends again with the inner. and trans.
fers it to part of the ris rira gained
in the higher regions of the air. The
course of the center of the cyclone il
then determined by the direction of the
mean velocity of all the air masses
forming the cyclone. and its duration
is that of the disturbance of the neutral
equilibrium of the atmosphere which
called it forth aad maintains it. The
local ascending current, by carrying
dust and particles with it, may also
produce rain by condensing the aqus.

How The Popular Weed Is Made BY Hand
and by Machine

How The Popular Weed Is Made by Hand
and by Machine.
The finest grade of tobacco comes
from Havana, and is used for what is
called filling. The wrapper used mostly
throughout the Union is the Sumatra
leaf and is the handsomest and best in
use. In the first place, all tobacco is
moistened with water, and left standing
between twenty-four and forty-eight
hours, according to the texture OF the
tobacco. 1t is then stripped. that
is. the stem is taken out and the
leaf opened and spread between two
boards for the purpose of keeping it
onen and OF giving it fat surface. In
,bis STAGE the leaf is dried and worked
into cigars as filters. The greatest pre-
caution is always taken that the hliers
be perfectly dry. or it can not be smoked
and therefore the cigar would not fulfill
its purpose in the least.
Cicars are rolled on flat stones by
deft motion quite Undesirable to those
who have not seen it. The rolling Is
hit the work of an instant; the tobacco
il laid on the stone, the practical fingers
touch i,-one minute more and there Is
a cigar of perfect proportions. which Is
r,pidly passed along to the next man,
who ships off the pointed end with
small cutting machine made for the
nurpose. after which it is passed to an.
other man who ties it up into a
handle with many others OF ITS KIND
As a rule the inside wrapper. called the
binder of a cigar, is composed OF either
Connecticut or Wisconsin tobacco.
which. on account of its being very thin
and tIimsy. and having little taste. does
not in the least mar the taste OF the
Havana filler. Although there are
grea, many cigars made without
binder. still as rule, the cigars sup
poSed to be made without them are
