Not Such A Great Danger.
From the Hartford Current.

From the Hartford Current.
Gen. Greedy, in his annual talk about
the weather, gives some space to show
ing that tornadoes are not quite SO bad
as they are made out. For one thing
he notes they are not so destructive to
life as thunderstorms, and quotes in
support of this dictum the annual re-
ports for eighteen years, which show 102
deaths annually from tornadoes, while
in this present year just the same num-
Der were killed by lightning in the
period from March to August, the latter
especially in the Southern States.
Rather more comforting than this
comparison of one large list of
deaths with another still larger, are the
conclusions that in no state may de-
structive tornado be expected oftener
than once ia two years, and that the
chance of personal injury or loss of
property is really very small. He says
that the published accounts are almost
always grossly exaggerated, and cites
one case in which a month after the
storm the loss of life was reported as
500, whereas it was really 1875. He calls
particular attention to the uniformly
narrow path of these destructive lorna
uOCS, tuOSC lGdt WOIh STOdU QduldSG.
The territory affected is usually short,
as well as narrow, SO that even if it
were known that one would strike to-
morrow in a certain state, the chance Of
danger to any particular inhabitant
would be exceedingly small. The re-
port does not go into figures on this
point, but here isan illustration: Take,
for instance, the state of Kansas, and
assume tornado which follows the sur
face for mile and cuts path two hun
dred feet wide This is big one The
state contains 81, 31S square miles, and
the area assumed as covered by the tor
nado is one-twenty-sixth of a mile
Consequently the chance of the tornado
striking any particular spot of that area
in the state would be about one in 90
100000. So much for individual chances.
On the other hand the total damage
in the country ina year is great. The
record for eighteen years shows 1000
tornadoes, or violent storms, which
killed 1,071 people and destroyed $685.
100000 worth of property, while in the
most violent class there were but fifty
eight, which killed 755 people and de.
stroyed property to the value of S11 1884,
700. Nervous readers will do well to fix
their minds on the two points of the
very small number of deaths each year,
and the extreme improbability Of de-
structive tornado hitting any designated

A Years Strikes in England.
From the St. lanes Gazette.

An interesting report by Mr.. S. Bur
nett, labor correspondent to the Board
of Trade, on the strikes that occurred
last year. has just been issued. From
this it appears that in 1889 strikes took
place in 1854 establishments in this
country. AS in 1888, and due to the
same reason-namely, a rising labor
markedly per cent. of the strikes
were due to claims for advanced wages,
although in some cases there were other
points of dispute also involved. OF
those for advances in wages 1873 per
cent were successful. The proportion
of those partially successful was 81 g
per cent. 10.7 per cent. were not at all

The Writing Telegraph.

The writing telegraph, which had at
hands of the commercial public, is now
being extensively used. There is no
question as to the value of an invention
which secures absolute immunity from
one place to another. The written
communication at the receiving end of
the line is duplicate of the message
sent, SO that the actual writing,of the
sender is reproduced in the message re-
ceiyed.

An Equivalent for Suicide.

If we allow our bodily infirmities 20 make
away with us through neglect, have we such an
immense moral advantage over the deliberate
suicide? Scarcely. For example, the deadly
progress of Brights disease, diabetes, acute
nephtis and gravel is sure-often terribly swift
in the catastrophe Most people of average in
formation know that this is the simple, unvar-
nished truth in regard to those widely preva-
lent maladies. To delay judicious medication
is specially suicidal i'll such cases. The means
of restraint is to be found in Hostetters Stomach
Bitters. Give an impetus to the action of the
kidneys with this safe and reliuble diuretic,
and the infant complaint is shoTn at its birth of
the power for evil. Allow it to grow, and an
ticipate the worst. The Bitters, which annihi-
lates these growing troubles, also eradicates
dyspepsia, rheumatism, malarial and liver COM
plains. Appetite, sleep and vigor are also pro-
