The tornado is a local disturbance, often
accompanying in the interior the progress
of a cyclone. Sometimes the track OIL the
tornado is limited to few hundred feet.
and it rarely has width OF halt mile.
The cyclone carries with it velocity OF
as much as 100 to 140 miles an hour. 1t
sends a certain amount Of warning ahead
OF its track and the acoeleration OF the
winds speed at any given point is gradual.
The tornado falls almost without notice,
or rather the indications are often SO SINH
lar to those OF an ordinary thunderstorm
that only skilled and careful observer
can detect the difference.
The circular motion OF a tornado Is be-
lteved to produce an extremely low pressure
in the center" said Prof Beall, of the United
States Signal Service, in a recent lecture
before the Chicago Academy of Sciences.
For instance where the barometer regis
ters thirty inches on the outer edge of a
tornado, it is probably not over twenty
inches in the center. With the barometer

A Narrow Escape.

Somebody has been trying to prove
that war is not so dangerous, on the
whole, as some other agents of destruc-
ton; however that may be, its perils
are not confined to those in action, as
the following anecdote demonstrates
There were some narrow escapes among
those who were off duty in camp. One
day a solid shot, with unmannerly
rudeness, came bounding into camp,
passing through a group of soldiers
who had just collected for their warm
rations. At the same instant it pros
trated the cook, demolished the mess
kettle, and irreverently baptized the
best flag with bean porridge. The
cook proved to be only temporarily
killed" by the gravel which the shot
had thrown against him, and was soon
able to resume his work. About the
same time sick soldier was lying in
his tent, with his knapsack for pillow
He was supposed to be quite out Of
harms way, but solid shot, styled by
the boys pickle" from its resem
blance in size and shape to cucum
ber, struck the knapsack and carried il
clean away. The only inconvenience
10 the invalid was the loss of the KNAPP
sack and the sudden letting down o
his head. As the pillow was scarcely
thicker than the missile, this might bt
called literally hair-breadth escape
SUGAR-oANE, according to Mr.. d.
Morris, is nowhere found wild, and il
has been supposed to have lost its
power of producing seed. In speci
mems received at Kew Gardens, how
ever, seeds have been found. This dis
covery is important, as it is anticipated,
that ross-fertilization and selections of
seedlings may greatly improve ths
plant.
