HOW A WATERSPOUP LOOKS.
Tearing Up Wharves and Scattering Fishes
and Debris.

rearing up WnafVeS anu scattering FISHES
and Debris.
Eye-GItl- esses describe the waters pout
as presenting u most impressive and
beautiful spectacle. Il formed about
half way between Point Clear and Battles
wharf and proceeded slowly toward the
shore, roaring at first with very loud
noise. 1t struck Battles wharf near the
shore end and cut it off as neatly as if it
had been sawed off. The spout sucked
up great lot of splintered wood and
went dashing inland, carrying with it a
mass OF whirling debris, IN the midst of
which hundreds of fish were mingled.
The waterspout proceeded up the lane,
tore off the corner of q barn, and then
fell to the ground with loud noise, de-
posting the mass of broken wood and
fish. Capt. l.. Fl. Kennerly gives q
graphic account of the phenomenon.
He says that he watched the waterspout
from beginning to the end. There was a
very heavy black cloud III the sky off the
point, and ali the clouds in the neighbor-
hood we're seen moving toward the center
of the black cloud. He knew 1aen that g.
waterspout was forming, and called at
tention to the atmospheric disturbance.
Presently the water of the bay, about one
hundred yards off the end of the long
wharf, began to boil and whirl around
with loud noise. This whirlpool was di-
| rectlY beneath the black cloud. The
| black cloud then formed In funnel-shape
and let down point, revolving In d1-
rection contrary to the whir]p pool below.
Soon two bodies Of water joined in form
ing a column about fifty feet ia diam
eter in the middle and reaching up about
mile in the air. As soon es the jun ction
was formed the greater part Of the rush
| ing waters ceased. The column stood
apparently motionless for about fifteen
| minutes, and had an angle with the hori-
zon of about 60 degrees. The funnel at
| top was dead black, but the body Of the
waters pout was siate-colored. At the bot
| tom, where the spout spread into pyra-
mid, the water was green and white. 1t
was a magnificent sight. Then the whole
mass began moving slowly toward Battles,
and came majestically along, bending
more and more as it advanced. When 1t
reached the shore, jus. where tho wharf
| joins the shore, the spout bent in the
middle, apd report of electric discharge
and fash of Zig htning announced that the
spout was broken. The greater part OF
the water was sucked up in the heavens
as the spout parted in the middle, and
the remainder fell with great noise, en-
velopine the wharf and breaking it down
for a distance of perhaps fifty feet
reaching from the shore to small house
situated out On the wharf. The effects OF
the spout were felt on land slightly. Il
was only remnant of gyratlng waite
| that hit the house on land, and the dana
age resulting was small.

FARM NOTES.

a Russian is reported to have succeed
ed after many experiments. in solidify-
ing petroleum so that it may be handled
in cakes, like tallow. His very simple
method of effecting this result is to heat
the petroleum, and to add from one to
three per cent. of soap. When the mix
ture cools it has the appearance of &C.
ment, and is as hard as tallow. It
does not catch fire easily, and burzs slow
ly, giving out a considerable amount of
heat. Much caution would seem to be
q necessary, in heating the petroleum, TO
avoid taking fire.

NEVER PAYS.

1t never pays to fret and growl
When fortune seems our Zoe,
The better bred will look ahead
And strike the Drawer blow.
Your luck is work
And those who skirk
Should not lament their DOOM,
But yield the play,
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
Tt never paws to wreck the health,
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks tuat gold
Is cheapest bought by pain.
An humble lot,
A cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high,
That wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment brings.
1t never pays! A blunt refrain
Well worthy of song,
For age and youth must learn the truth
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure
Alone are sure.
To bring prolonged success,
While that is right
In Heaven's sight
Is always sure to bless.

A Robber Syndicate.

It is hard enough on the United States
to be to great extent, made the dump
ing ground of the paupers, malcontents
and shiftless of ell nations, but surely
insult is added to injury when emissaries
of alien syndicstes attempt to rob Uncle
Sam in broad daylight of his rich timber
lands, by means of fraudulent entries
brought about by subornation of perjury
We rejoice in common with all other
patriotic Americans that the inwsrdness
of an intended gigantic land grab in

ROME.SWEET HOME.

Mid pleasures and palaces, though we may
roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
charm from the skies seems to hallow us there
Which, seek through the world, is ne'er me-
with elsewhere.
CHORUS:
Homel Home Sweet, sweet honlei
There's no place like home, there's no place like
home
An exile from home, splendor da zzles in vain;
OH give me my lowly thatch'd cottage again;
The birds singing gaily, that come at my call;
Give me them with that peace of mind, deareT
than all.
CHORUS
How sweet it's to sit meath fond fathers smile,
And the cares of mother to smoothe the be-
guile;
Let others delight mid new pleasures to roam,
But give me. OH give me the pleasures of
home.
CHORUS
To thee III return, overburdened with care;
The hearts sweetest soiace will smile on one
there,
No more from that cottage again will roam.
Be it ever SO humble, there's no place like
Home.

Mr.. Denmau Ross has published e book

on land holding in Germany. He believ-
ed that the communistic system did not
prevail in the time of Caesar and TacitIs.
He takes the singular position that iso-
lated households developed into clan viii
lagos, and those into a community of
ownership, which worked out again into
property in severalty. Free villages and
serf villages existed as a late out out
growth of prInotive organization.

Prof. Daniel Kirkwood points out that
seven of the twenty known comets of
short period have disappeared, either by
breaking into fragments, like Bield's
comet, or by the transfer alton of the
orbit by the influence of Jupiter, as in the
case of Lsxell's comet. He had already
given reasons for thinking that two of
the short period comets were asteroids
drawn from their oroits by Jupiter's at
traction, and he now advances evidence
tending TO show that the entire twenty
were originally small planets.

Items of Interest Picked Up From Ohio
League Towns.
1t is understood the Wheeling club has
ordered its bases, uniforms, bats and para
phernalia from Ed. Andrews, of Detroit,
Michigan.
Mutton, who caught for the Columbus
Club part of last accommodating up Keo-
gan-has been signed by the Peoria ILL.,
Club.
Judging from the talk of some of the
Ohio papers and correspondents, Wheeling
is not in the Ohio League next season at
all. They'll sec when the season comes to
an end.
There will be good deal of rivalry he
tween Lima aud Slrdusky. Ia each di-
rectory there is a member named Melville.
They are brothers and are bowling for
their respective clubs.
The Pittsburg Y. NJ. c. A. has barred
out base ball players and refuses them ad-
mission to the Association Gymnasium.
This action seems u~nwarranted, and will
only have the effect of steeling those who
were so treated against an association IN
which their good traits might have been
brushed no. The spirit which inspired
such an action was anything but Chris
tianlike.- CincinRdti TImeS-Star.
GAINESVILLE has asked for thirty days more
time to post the guarantee. The request
will be refused and Lima will perhaps have
to give up the title of Baby" to Toledo,
Cincinnati 7imes-Star. Can GAINESVILLE
afford to give up her franchise in the Ohio
league 10 the village of Toledo? Let the
bond be forwarded Immediately and let,the
outside world know that GAINESVILLE is not
in a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep.-Ifmes RecOr-
der.
The Times. Star Of Cincinnati contains
the following item concerning the rather
fresh Ohio League Baby: Manager Har-
~ Baumgartner's challenge to back the
MCMicken Stars in q series of either three
or five games with the Limas the Ohio
League Baby-has been accepted by Man
ager W. X. Harrington, who in response to
the banter, wrote;
81 would like to play your team in the
early spring. 1t wOuld give my men
practice"
lyon can say" said BUNNY" THAT
ri give his men ell the practice they
need. 1 don't think there is enough
money in Lima to play on the percentage
plan, but I'll 90 that club for the entire
receipts, the winner of the series to take
everything. We want a good umpire, q
regular Association or League man, no
Lima citizen who can't tell a base hit
from a foul ny."
