Dacoits, if brought to bay, will not
 who impede their escape. A young civilian was appointed assistant com missioner to district far in the in- terior. On arriving at the village where he was to reside he built bungalow short distance from the place, in which he lived with his ser wants, Mattresses. After he was there about nine months word came to Tounghoo frem the Bumese head man or mayor of the village to say that Mir. Ellis has been seriously wounded in an encounter with Da- colts. and that all his Indian servants had been killed. A guard of sold iers was requested to be sent at once to the place. A detachment accor- dinglv was ordered to the village, ac- companied by a surgeon. On arri- val they found Mir. Ellis at the point
 of death from the severe wounds he
 received. Before he expired he made the following de- position: He retired at the usual
 hour on the fatal night and was awaken by some one stumbling over Il chair in his room. He at once grasped his revolver and sprang ont of bed, calling loudly to his servants. l As usual, the Dccoits-for it was a party of those gray gentry who had paid him visit-attempted to run 1 off. He however managed to seize one of the robbers around the waist and held on to him. notwithstanding all the struggles of the fellow to es- cape. Just then his matey-boy en- ! tered with lantern and exclaimed: II know that man. sahib ,' At ] this uncture the comrades of the robber finding that one of their num-
 Der was left behind. returned to the scene and at once proceeded to res cue him. After brief fighting, dur 1 ing which Ellis shot two of the De colts, the robbers gained the advant- age, having killed all the servants. who, however, did not make any de- l termined resistance, and leaving the young official in dying condition.
 He was fcarfully hacked about the body and one arm was cut off. The servants were all killed because one of their number had recognized robber. The Dacoits decamped, leaving behind them the headless bodies of the two who were shot, and were never again heard of in that To- cality. With all their forocity and
 penchant for approprating other peoples goods, Dacoits are extreme | ly religious, a trait not uncommon | Nltll SOiiit NlN illEtt ol- ten build pagodas to propitiate their
 deity, and so obtain short cut to Nelhan, fully believing that they can
 by such acts of piety gain speedier entrance into Gaudama s bosom than their questionable acts upon earth
 would entitle them to. They give liberal presents to the poongyees. It is, therefore, not surprising that they
 never rob temple or a priest,
 although it is well known to all class cs of the population that the poon-
 gyees are very wealthy, having ac- cumulated great quanites of valua-
 ble gems, as well as gold and silver,
 the latter often cast into images of Guadama-San Francisco Chronicle.

About WhirlWinds.

In the Naturalist in Nicaragua. /" Mir. Belt has the following on the or igin of whirlwinds and cyclones: Il am confident that study of the smaller cddics of air is the proper way to approach the difficult ques- tion of the origin of cyclones " The movements of these small whiring masses may he observed from the outside, and their progress traced from the incipient state to that of dissolution. In the beginning of a whilwind there is movement near the surface of the ground of light particles of dust toward center at tended or occasioned by rotary motion of the air. This quickly ris- es into whirling column from fifty to hundred feet or more in height. On the dry, hot plains of Central and coltH -AintllCa, dnt ol AUSiTdlla, this phenomenon is of frequent oc- currence, and is not usual in our temperate attitudes in summer. The whirling columns. according to MT. Belt, differ in diameter from few feet to many miles and his opinion is that there is complete grada- tion from the litlc dust eddies, through larger whirlwinds and tor nadoes. to the awful typhoons and cyclones of China and the West h. dies. -
 In the small whirlwinds which oc- cur over the land. there is no evi- dence of the condensation of vapor occurring in dry air. But where the atmosphere is charged with humidi- ty, as over tropical seas. the conden- satiOn is great. The notion, there l fore, that whirlwinds and tornadoes originate in sudden condensation Mir. Belt thinks not well founded, the phenomenon being an accident rather than a cause of the movement. Nor is the theory satisfactory one that the meeting of conflicting cur rents of air and consequent conden- sation give rise to the phenomenon. Attention is directed to the fact that many terrible whirlwinds are dry and run their course without produc. ing rain or cloud. They originate al or very near the surface of the ground where the air becomes intensely heat, ed. The quivering of the air over hot ground foreshadows the whirl. wind as mirage does the simeon, ano sultry heat and oppressive calm dc the hurricane" In the stratum ot heated air next the ground resides energy which produces the whirlwind' That this, in many instances, is pre- vented from rising has been proveC by numerous observations. At las the upward tendency becomes SC strong that it breaks through the ov erlying heavier air, and there occur: an upward discharge, followed b, all the phenomena of whirlwinds.

GA FAMIY AFFAIR. B.
Washington Critic,

Just on the divide of Tennessee mountain the hind wheels of the buck board dropped into a rut, the axle broke with a smash, and after spcnd- ing ten minutes in solemn thought the driver said:
 Well. I'll have to get the con Sarned thing down to Tompkinsville for repairs, and you'd better stay all night at yon cabin
 Perhaps they cant accommodate me.
 "Thcrc's no perhaps about it. Folks as has got house are bound to keep folks as has broke down"
 went over to the cabin, which was rude log structure, and the only one within four miles. The woman saw me coming and stood in the open door. Her husband saw me coming and sat down on a log. The five or six children saw me coming, and arranged themselves along the opening in the brush fence which answered for a gate. As l came ur approached the man and explained the nature of the accident and asked to stay all night.
