THE STORM CENTER.

The black dots Indicate the location of previous
tornadoes recorded in the southcentral west
This diagram is taken from Lieut. Finleys book
on storms
by a pail of darkness, In q word it was
unique, both as to the conditions surrounding
~ and the frightlul loss OF life and property
or which it Is responsible.
Louisville was founded in l71S and incor-
norated as "a city in ISIS. 1t has never before
met with a serious disaster, that is, serious
t> compared with tie recent horror. The
D. 1lamity which has fallen upon the metropo-
!, of Kentucky naturally brings up anew
J., question: What can be done to safeguard
iuturel \ reply may be given in these
.Yvds.
The populous region of the United States
- forever doomed to the devastation of the
ipruado. As certain as night follows day Is
the formation of the funnel shaped cloud"
This is the deliberate conclusion reached by
Lieut.. John p Finley, U. S. A., after years
If careful attention paid to the subject OF at
nospheric phenomena. But he declares II
he danger cannot be averted it is among the
possibilities at least to escape the extreme
effects of its wrath. There are many pre-
nontory signs which denote with almost alb
~olute certainty the approach of tornado,
such as an oppressive, enervating air, the pc
cular and unusual silence of birds, the uneasi-
ness of domestic animals and the development
of cowardly traits in breeds of dogs usually
ferocious, like the mastif or the bulldog
Human beings feel weighed down with an
ndefinable premonition of some impending
evil. The sultriness of the day continues,
but in the hitherto clear and coppery sky
great banks of clouds appear, generally one
in the southwest and another in the north
west or northeast, moving towards each
other. They are entirely different in aspec t
from the ordinary heralds of a summer
Storm They may resemble the thick smoke
from a burning bull ling, or bank of fog or
team, or, if heavy and dark, take on green
ish hue, which presages the quick coming OF
fierce and irresistible elemental foe. Some
times nature marshals these forces of de-
struction in solid and heavy masses; again
they roll up lightly, but black and frowning
| as the darkest midnight.

haustion of its own inherent forces, therefore
those who have studied the phenomenon have
directed their efforts to discovering the laws
governing It's birth, course and velocity so as
to formulate rules IOr minimizing its de-
structiveue-s. Speaking untechnically,
tornado may be said to have its origin in and
be maintained by well defined upward move
ments of air over a limited area at the cen
ter of disturbance The whirling motion of
the dreaded funnel shaped cloud depends
upon pre-existing disturbed and gyrating
state of the atmosphere. To illustrate this
one might take glass funnel, large at the
top and with a small lower aperture. Fill
this with water, remove the plug from the
bottom, and the liquid will run out with no
rotary disturbance. But a slight circular
movement of the finger at the surface will
set the water whirling as it falls with all the
semblance of a miniature tornado Says
Lieut.. Finley:
The tornado with hardly an exception &C.
ours in the afternoon, just after the hottest
part of the day, and generally disappears be-
fore the Goins down OF the sun. The hour of
greatest frequency is between and 4 p. m.
A tornado very rarely, if ever, begins after
p. m, but tornado commencing about 5 p
M. may continue its characteristic violence
until nearly p. M, which only means that
the tornado cloud may be travelling after 6
p. m. but it does not develop, that is, make
its appearance for the first time, after those
hours
It's usual track is from southwest to north
east, its velocity forty to seventy miles
an hour, and its width from fifty yards to
fifty rods. The tornado season is embraced
between March and October The months
of greatest recurrence are May and July. In
tine southern states tornadoes are sometimes
known during the winter and spring months.
Kansas and Missouri rank highest in regard
to frequency Of all the states of the Union.
In the practical application OF this knowl,
edge lies it, value. If II person lives in a
region where tornadoes are to be expected,

Each day the spirit of the age seems not
only to sanction, but also to demand with
ever increasing insistence the union of the
beautiful with the useful This applies,
among other things, to architectural and en-
cheering designs. 1t involves no more ex-
pense-so experts say-to build house or
barn with an attractive exterior than one
that only satisfies the requirements for room
and comfort and in outline looks uncompro-
misingly ugly. The same proposition applies
to more pretentious structures erected 10y

including those who are compelled to gaze
daily upon an unpleasing tower, have come
to the conclusion that lofty structures of this
class may he made ornaments to the land
scape instead of blots. Not long ago the ex-
istence of general but Uniformed popular
opinion in this respect was recognized 10y Mr..
Henry c. Meyer, editor of The New York
Engineering and Building Record, and al
his own expense he opened competition for
designs for a waterworks pumping station
and water tower. Over fifty architect:
responded, and the results attained far eX
ceeded what had been expected. The first
prize went to a Milwaukee competitor, the
second to a resident of Brooklyn, and the
third and fourth To Boston architects. Out
side the technical excellence displayed, III,
chief point regarded as solved by the com
petition is that of wedding beauty to utility

more to build water tower architectural

The crash when the wings of this airy

TRACK OF THE STORM THROUGH LOUISVILLE.

red Indian dies at the stake, defiant, eagle
eyed and un1aunted to the last, but a tooth
ache, the reason for which he cannot under
stand, makes him cry. In the face of natures
awful aud unexpected wrath the iron nerved
grow weak and the cool headed frantic. SO,
when the other evening the mad might Of
the whirlwnd was hurled down upon the
fair city of Louisville it is no wonder that
the first en,-itiOns were those of panic and
dread unutterable. But as TO the crash of
falling buildings succeeded the cries of the
wounded, brave hearts and willing hands
were not found wanting to meet the unpar-
alleled emergency, and through the dismal
hours till dawn to urge the labor of rescue
by the light of blazing structures wherein
fire was completing the work begun by the
wind.
The scene after the storm was heartrend-
ing, heroic, sublime, American.
Probably no tornado ever did such swift
and deadly work on this continent as t he one
which chose Louisville for the central object

defed in many respects the laws laid down as
governing these natural phenomena 1t has

The Programme.

THE return of Margaret Mather for season
of Shakespearean reviVals recalls with renewed
force the many rumors that have been circulat-
ing regarding her during the past fortnight.
Perhaps no American actress of her years has
shared in q like degree the popularity
and commendable success that has
been SO characteristic OF her career. There
must be something meJeoric in the composition
of this tragedienne, for she does not seem con
tent with those slow processes out of which
emerge the artistic training; for since her debut
in Chicago, her course toward success has been
marked by remarkable evidence of rapid and
spontaneous growth. She came into the Tenn
ple of Thespis with meteoric suddenness She
conquered by the might of rugged genius, un-
harnessed and untaught Her first appearance
was marked by as remarkable an ovation as
ever attended the debut Of an American. This
brilliancy and meteoric quality has flashed
again during the past week, and something
may be expected-unusual and unique-fof
Margaret Mather next season becomes
her own manager and gives as an
earnest Of her Intentions the announce
ment that she will present complete
"Jeanne dare" or Joan of Arc" in the En-
glish acceptation. This move on the part of
SO enterprising and wide-awake person as
Miss Mather was not unlocked for. In one
way or another this self-same actress has suf-
fered severely at the hands of managers, and
the precedent which Langtry established was
sufficient to demonstrate the capability Of
a female manager. The announcements
that have been made during the fortnight
seem like q voice from the dead, for two years
of silence has LETT the name of Margaret
Mather only histrionic remembrance. her
intention to take the reins in her own hands
ana push herself again before the public
gaze and into the public sympathy is q
move in the right direction and can but result
70 her great good. During the present engage
ment two plays, in which she has never before
appeared here in Pittsburg, will be given in
