ALL WE'RE DROWNED.
A Family Of Six Go Down to Their
-. Death.

KINGSTON, N. T., Feb. .9.-The four
children of Jacob r. Slater were skat-
ing on the lake at Binnewater. about
six miles from here, this afternoon,
when the ice, which was but few
inches thick, gave way and the littleones
were precipitated into the water. Their
shouts were heard by the members of
the family, who lived near by, and the
father and mother rushed to the rescue.
By the time the parents reached the
lake the children had disappeared be-
meath the ice. The mother, frantic
with the thought of her children's peril,
rushed upon the ice, which gave
way beneath her weight, and she sank
below the surface. Mr.. Slater then at
tempted to reach his wife, and he too
was drowned. The entire family is
wiped out of existence. Tonight hun
dreds of people are gathered about the
lake searching for the bodies.

Love Prompts Suicide.

MANCHESTER, N. H.. Feb. 9.-Miss
Grace E. Huntingt, aged twenty
three years, committed suicide this

had become infatuated with an out-of-
town young man of highly respectable
family. Friday night she was ordered
out of the house and made an appoint
ment with her lover for Saturday night,
which he was not anxious to keep. She
thereupon bought the laudanum and
swallowed it. She died at 9:45 this

YARD WITH SAIL FURtRD.

The tornado is local disturbance,
often accompanying in the interior the
progress of cyclone. Sometimes the
track of the tornado is limited to few
hundred feet, and it rarely has width
of half mile.
The cyclone carries with velocity Of
as much as 100 to 140 miles an hour. It
sends certain amount of warning ahead
of its track, and the acceleration of the
winds speed at any given point is
gradual.
The tornado falls almost without no.
tice, or rather the indications are often
so similar to those of an ordinary thun-
derstorm that only skilled and careful
observer can detect the difference.
The phenomena and effects of cyclones
in the West Indies have long been sub
jects of study and observation. AS the
centre approaches ship she is assaulted
by wind of terrible force and a sea that
is almost indescribable. The water no
longer runs in waves of regular onward
motion, but leaps up in pyramids and
peaks. The wind swirls and strikes
until wherever there is a chance for
vibration or futter, even in tightly
furled sails, the fabric soon gives way.

West Indies cyclone with everything

Small fellowship OF daily commonplace
We hold together. lear, constrained to go
Diverging ways. Yet day by day know
Ny life is sweeter for thy life's sweet
grace:
And if we meet but for moments space,
Thy touch thy word, sets all the world

Faith scars serener, haunting doubts shrink
Abashed before the sunshine of thy face.
Nor press of crowd nor waste of distance
serves
To part us. Every hush of evening brings
Some hint of thee, true-hearted friend of

When toward it through the darkness Sat-

PATH OF A TORNADO THROUGH FOREST.
The force with which these objects
strike is best seen when they fall outside
of the tornado's path, since the work
done by the missile Is not then dis
turbed by the general destructive force
of the storm. Thus, near Racine, Wis,
I have known an ordinary fence rail,
slightly sharpened on one end, to be
driven against young tree like spear
and pierce it several feet. The velocity
of the rail must have been something
enormous, or otherwise the rail would
have glanced from such a round and
elastic object.
Many of the settlers in the tornado dis
tricts of Southern Minnesota, Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska excavate a deep
cellar beneath their houses and cover it
with heavy timbers as place of refuge
for their families when tornado threat
ems to strike them. While these dugouts
arc usually effective they are not always
so. There have been instances where
families having only time to descend and
not time enough to close the trap door
have been exposed to the storms full

him between his fore feet until the danger

many people know that when the sacred
elephant is a baby he sometimes has
twenty-f -four ladies to nurse him, and they
ali think it a great honor. But to have
an elephant build stone wall and an
other elephant trained as overseer! In
Ceylon they pile the timber. And one
actually made a dam. She carried the
logs from the forest and put them in
position. "The most extraordinary part
of her performance" says Mr.. Wood,

Care of Eggs.

Insects prepare their eggs to withstand
the cold of winter, in various ways. The
mourning cloak butterfly lays her eggs
to the number of several hundred around
willow or black-birch twig and covers
them with thick mucilaginous matter
which protects them from rain and cold.
The gypsy moth lays her eggs on the
trunks of oaks and other trees in mass
of hair or down taken from her own body.
These two modes Of protecting eggs are
common to mauy moths and butterflies,
and those which encircle the twigs arc
popularity known rs n "fairy bracelet. !"
They are thus protected against the ele-
ments. The temperature which develops
the eggs is equal to that required to
develop the food plant. BY a law of
nature, when the feast is ready the
feasters are on hand to enjoy it.-Port-
tqnd (Conn.) Observer.

frenzy by the tornado getting into the
opening and lifting off the whole roof
after having first swept away the house
above. Another pathetic case resulted
in the death of whole family by an
extraordinary freak of the tornado. The
storm first struck large pond and swept
up all the water in it. Its next plunge:
deposited this water on one vf these dug
outs, the house above which had been
destroyed, The family were drowned
like chipmunks in q hole.
Some of the Western tornadoes are &C.
companied by electrical manifestations to
an extent that has originated q belief in
electricity as their cause. These dis
turbances are very marked in some cases,
while in others they have not been no

at some distance from it. In the ruined

the passage of the storm. Afterward it
was found that the magnetic influence
was so strong that clocks and watches

were found adhering to each other.

The scooping action of the tornado
sometimes makes considerable changes in
the topography of the country, as when
it gathers up the water of large pond OF
water course and makes new pond or
opens a new channel. At Wallingford
the water in a pond Of very large size
was taken bodily from its bed, carried up
a hill and dropped nearly in one mass, so
that gullies and ravines were cut in every
direction.
In another case farmer who followed
the tornado's track in search of missing
cattle was astonished to discover one of
his COWS standing about twenty feet above
the ground IN the branches of half
felled maple.

heifer," he remarked, as he came in sight

Handling q Rat.

A boy employed in Sixth avenue
grocery store appeared on the curb the
other morning with rat trap in his
hand, and within the trap was a gray
headed rodent of good size, who evi-
dently realized that a crisis in his life
was close at hand. Twenty pedestrians
had their attention arrested at once, and
three dogs came running up and began
barking and leaping around, anxious for
the moment when the prisoner should be
turned loose.
"Gst out in the street," shouted a
voice.
"Give that rat a show!" added a
second.
"Ho.d on till 1 git my dog!" piped q
boy.
Say, bub," remarked fat man with
a cane, as he pushed his way into the
crowd, ''have you had much experience
with rats. "Theres only ono way of
handling 'em rightly. Let mo take the
trap
The boy surrendered it with very
bad grace, and the fat man handed his
cane to some one and held the trap high
over She street. There were six or seven
dogs when the spring door was opened,
and the rat didn't like the looks of
things. He ran down to the door, made
a spring and twist, and for about two
seconds was seen on top of the trap.
Then he jumped to the fat mans right
shoulder. As he did so there was a yell
and falling back of the crowd, the
dogs rushed forward, and next instant
dogs, fat man and rat were all in a
heap in the gutter. One dog got the
rat, and the Others began free fight,
and as they circled away from the spot
the fat man got up, holding a ruined
silk hat in his hand. He was in hurry
to go, but before he could leave a boy
counted four dog bites on his legs and
recommended nitric acid and hot
poker.
"My cane!" queried the fat man, as
he looked about, but cane and holder
4ad gone.
Rats" shouted three or four Of the
crowd, followed by general laugh.
"Rats-yes-um" responded the fat
man. "There's only one way to handle
rats. Sorry l can't be with you always,
but-yes-um!"
And he broke loose and steamed away
down the avenue.-NeU York Sun.

TREE PIERCED BY FENCE RAIL.
Sometimes the tornado acts like an
enormous scoop, catching up every nova
BILE thing and sweeping it miles away;
and again it becomes depositor, as II,
tired of carrying so much dead weight,
it dumped it upon the earth preparatory
to grabbing up new cargo. These ef-
fects are particularly noticeable in the
tornado that goes by jumps. When it
strikes and absorbs mass of debris it
seems to spring up again like projectile
that grazes the surface. For space
there will be very high wind and some
damage, but no such disaster as the tor
nado has previously wrought. Out of
the clouds will come occasional heavy
missiles and dcluges of water. Then
down goes the tornado again crashing
and scattering by its own force and add
ing to its destructive power by battery
of timbcrs and other objects brought
along from its previous impact. Relieved
of these masses it again gathers up miscel-
laneous movables and repeats its previous
oDeration.
