A COMING CYCLONE.
Another Great Blow the Atlantic Sea-
board May Result From the Meet
Ing of Two Storms.

New YORK, Dec 11.--There will be trouble
again along the Atlantic coast. The cyclone
which was present in the Gulf Sunday-be
ing then central at New Orleans and Mobile
has moved rapidly across Alabama and
Georgia. and was central Monday morning
at Savannah, where the wind was blowing
at the rate of thirty to thirty-five miles an
hour.
The disturbance will move up the coast as
Tar as Haiteras, where it may move out to
sea. Should it take this course it is likely to
return inland anywhere between New Jersey
and the New England states
Cautionary gnaIs are flying all along the
coasts of the Gulf and South Atlantic states,
indicating at the various points the direc-
ton of the dangerous Winds which vary ac-
cording to the location of the signal station.
Heavy rains are falling along the coast from
Key West to Wilmington, N. c., and for
some distance inland, and cloudy weather
prevails along the North Atlantis coast to
Maine
Vessels for South Atlantic and West In
dian ports are cautioned about leaving safe
harbor
Another storm which developed Sunday in
the northwest has moved easwardly. and
was Monday morning central over Lake SUI
perior, causing threatening weather along
all the lakes, and down the St Lawrence
river as far as Quebec. 70
1t is hoped that this will pass to sea before
the cyclonic storm reaches New England,
otherwise there is a possibility of the two
uniting and causing ugly weather in this
vicinity.
Behind these storms is an area of high
baroneter, which extends over the Rocky
mountain region as far south as northern
Texas and New Mexico This will drive
both storms before it and produce colder
weather in a few days in this part of the
country

{ Peculiar Sect.

The annual national meeting of the Dunkards, sometimes called German Baptists, was held recently near Deca- tur, Illinois, and was attended by up- wards of 1900 protesting members. The DunkardS' Society was founded in Germany, in 1708, by Alexander Mack. All the members came to Amerlca in 1729, beng driven here by persecution. One elder sad that the society had over 1000 churches, and that there were over 100000 commit nicants in this country. They clam to be the old church, and are not to be confounded with the conservatives and progressive branches which allow Sunday schools, have hired preachers, indulge m worldly apparel, put pianos and organs into their homes, take sec ular newspapers, insure their proper ty, put curtains to their windows and carpets on their floors. All these al legged evils are drowned down by the German Baptists. They dress plainly and well, but allow no iewelry or fan -ey appafel-(f Of any character; they will not shave, and they wear their hair long. They meet in qulet manner; the women kiss each other as do also the men squarely on tbe lips, and use very plain language, like the Quakers. The men will net go to law, nor fight, nor take any oaths.

Athletes Are Born, Not Made.

''Of course you find great difference in the natural aptitude of different per sons for such things?''
 ''Oh, yes. The athlete is born an ath- lete; the gymnast is made, and some times made from very unpromising ma terial. I can take almost any youth and teach him to be a good gymnast. But some persons seem to have a quicker con- nection than others between the brain and certain muscles, and these excel in what requires immediate obedience of the muscles to the will. There is a physi- cal tact just as there is a mental tact, and an apparently difficult and dangerous feat is accomplished by using just the right stress at just the right moment. There is, of course, a certain knack in using the apparatus. This is taught in small part of the time in which it can be acquired by practice without the lessons. A good many of the gymnasts' feats which are apparently done so easily are the>resull Sslasszsss continued practice. As some one has said, an uneducated eye can no more appreciate the difficulties of certain gymnastic exercises by seeing them done with so much ease than an inexperienced ear can estimate those of a piece of music by hearing it played.

The German Emperor and the Grown
 Prince

The tenacity with which the Ger man Emperor clings to life has en- cOuraged the belief, fathered by hope, among many of his admiring subjects, Of his ultimate recovery, but the chances are one hundred to one against the royal patient.
 There IS said to be very marked change IF the sentiment of the Ger man people in favor of the Crowned Prince, partly by reason of his digni- hed demeanor since the death of the old Emperor, and the interest which he manifests in the affairs of the Elm pre-. The fear IS expressed, however, that the Prince, in the event of his be- coming the regal head of the German nation, will be mere puppet of Bis marck, for whom he has great admira- non. A recent cablegram says: It is now an open secret that, acting upon Blsmarcks advice, the Crown Prince, when he ascends the throne, will not only be crowned King of Prussia at Konlgsburg, where Prusslan kings are always crowned, but will have mag nltlcent imperial coronation at Frank fert or at Achen, where Charles V. was crowned in 1920, and which in 1856 was made the coronation place fer German Emperors. It IS believed that this step will not only be popular, recalling the imperial grandeur of Charles ", fattering the present sen timent of Renaissance and devotion to everything that is all Deutsche, but will at the same time strengthen out side ot Prussla the personal prestige ot the Imperial Grown. The Grown Prince firmly believes that the whole tendency of future events is to limit the action of individual governments and to place greater power in the Elm perors hands. Bismarck has spoken of the Grown Prince as a man after his own heart, and this plan of an im- perial coronation, reviVing the days of the old German Empire, is an eventful one for the Germans everywhere, and sets them all thinking.

Where Are the Old Singers?

What becomes of the old singers is a question as hard to answer as that con cerning the fate of the proverbial pins. In Italy they usually retire to their native villages and end their days in obscurity and peace. In France and Germany, until quite incapacitated for active duty, they generally set up as singing teachers, and, thanks mainly to their celebrity, earn handsome incomes from ambitious lads and lasses. Duprez, who was the original William Tell, gives lessons in Paris, and so do Marie Sass, the original Selilza in ''L'Africaine, :" Dele Sedie, the great baritone, Carlotta Patti, and host of lesser lights of days bygone. The value of their instruction from a musical standpoint may be doubted, but that of the suggestions they can give to gifted but unfedged aspirants to distinction on the stage or concert platform can hardly be oyerestimated.- York Sun.

Kansas city's Wonderful Growth.
(Kansas City Weekly Record. ]

(kansas City Weekly Record.)
 More than 1000 business firms have opened their doors in the city during the past twelve months. At the com mencement of 1887 fourteen lines of railroad entered the city. Now the number has increased to twenty-five. These lines have a total mileage of nearly 35,000 miles.
 There are at present twenty-six miles of streets traversed by double track cable lines; thirteen miles by horse car lines, and twelve miles by dummy line, making an aggregate of tfty-one miles in Kansas City and her suburbs.
 The bank clearings for the twelve months, ending April 30, were $388,- 424,652 against S328,O37,83 for the year ending April 30, 1887, an increase of Is per cent. This makes an aver age monthly clearing of s32. 2.343,741 for the the past twelve months.
 Since the close of 1886 the aggre- gate capital of the banks of Kansas City has increased from S4,755,0O0 to $7,364,000 on April 30. Besides the banks, the investment and loan com pauieS of the city have a capital of S7,03,O00, making 3 total capital of $15,137,000 for institutions of this class.
 There is now S14,OOO,000 invested Tn industrial enterprises, against ST. 100000 at the end of 1886. More than $1,75O,OOO of this has been added since the first day of January, 1888.
 The debt of Kansas City is now S714,695.20, which is smaller than ever before, and the tax levy eleven mills, which is decldedly smaller than for many years, and just one-half of what it was eight years ago.

Since the glacier studies of Tyndal and Agassiz, nothing more interesting Tn that line has been accomplished than the study of the Muir Glacier, by Prof. Wright This is in Alaska, be- tween 5S d5gs. and 50 degs. The peaks rise 15,OOO to 10000 feet high. and there are many glaciers. But the Muir is the most immense, being tive and one-half miles wide, with a front wall of nearly 400 feet. Ecebergs eternally snap and crash off this face wall, like rear of artillery. There is nothing grander in the United States, if, indeed, in the world. The ice moves at the rate of about 70 feet per day. A few miles away the ice deposited during the glacler age is washing away, exposing to the air ce- dars buried tens of thousands of years ago.

Repairing the Library Books.

There are many queer departments in these upper stories of the National library, and in one place I found little book bindery off by itself where binder stands all day long with his tools and repairs the wear and tear of the thousands of books. He does only the small work, however, and patches up rather than binds. He says the French are the best binders of books, that there are now many imita- tions of old bindings and that some col Iectors make fac siniles of old and rare books by dipping newly printed copies of them in coffee.-Frank G.

Sesrsirbtedness in the Schools.

Dr. Whittier, of Brookline, who has examined the eyes of members of the upper classes in the high school of that town, states that over 50 per cent. of the pupils have some affection of the eye. Thirty-four per cent. of those examined were troubled with myopy, 12 per cent, with hyperopia, and 6 per cent. with various other eye troubles. ''Of these 14 per cent. were astigmatic to some ex- tent, says the doctor. q propose to examine the same pupils eyes one year from now, to see what changes have taken place, especially in the myopic eyes. So far, 1 find that nearsightedness seems to increase in proportion as our school system becomes. more complex, and pupils are obliged to apply them selves more closely to their work. A larger per cent. of myopic eyes are found in city than in village or country schools. " Boston Herald
