The tornado, with hardly an excep-
ton, occurs in the afternoon, just after
the hottest part of the day. The time
Of greatest frequency is from $3.50 to 5
o'clock. The tornado season includes
March, April, May, June, July, August
and September, but storms Of this ma
ture may occur In any part of the year.
The months Of greatest frequency, as
determined from record Of 20s years,
are April, May, June, and July. The
single month Of greatest frequency is
May, April following next in order The
The State in which the greatest number
of tornadoes has occurred is Missouri,
followed next In order by Kansas and
Georgia. A record of more than 500
tornadoes and @windfalls" q. O., paths
of tornadoes through forests) In Wiscon-
sin considerably exceeds the number
from any other State, but little weight
can be given this comparison, owing to
the want of thorough investigation Of
the subject of windfalls In other States
From careful investigation Of the ORR
gin of tornadoes and their geographical
distribution, there is every reason to be-
lieve that these storms were as frequent
and violent 200 years ago as now. More
over, there appears to be no cause for
any unusual change In the annual fre-
Quency of tornadoes for like period to
come.

Tokay Wine.

The town of Tokay, in the county OF
Zemplin, Upper Hungary, was recently
the scene of most destructive confagra-
ton. The site Of Tokay is on the slopes
of the Hegyslia mountains, which are OF
volcanic origin and are entirely covered
with grape vines of the peculiar variety
which has made the name celebrated.
Some twenty-five other market towns
aud villages dotting this range Of hills
share with Tokay in the profitable in
dustry Of producing the famous wine.
Tokay was q very old town. 1t is men,
toned in documents of the thirteenth
century, which state that King Bella Nv.
summoned Italian vine dressers to Tokay
to teach the native growers the art OF
making the best wine possible from the
excellent grapes there grown.
This art has been preserved to our own
day, the chief secret being the mixing of
the Juice of dried berries with that of
fresh grapes. There are five principal
qualities of Tokayer, that to which the
largest proportion Of dried grapes is
added being the famous "Tokayer
essence"
The total annual product Of the whole
Of the Tokay district used to be from
1870, 900 to 200, 900 eimers, or about $780,
900 gallons, but 1t fell off on the appear
ance of the phylloxera in Hegyalia.

rrua to His Profassion.

II there be man that is absolutely true
to his professional faith 1t is the swamp
doctor. To him there is no such thing
as advancement in the science Of medi-
cine. aDoctorin' folks is doc
torin' folks" and that's all there
Is about it. He selected his model
from the old class of practitioners, now
happily extinct in more civilized COM
munities, known ss the bleeders. To
one of those old fellows the letting out
Of blood was the letting in Of life.
Some time ago man while working at
sawmill had one Of his arms torn off.
The only physician near at hand was an
old swamp doctor, who, as last chance,
was sent for. When he arrived the un-
fortunate man was rapidly bleeding to
death. THE Doctor whipped out his
lancet
"what are you going to do?" the owner
of the mill asked.
"Going to bleed him"
@Bleed him; the deuce! Don't you see
that he's nearly bled to death now?"
"Oh, can't help that. My profes-
sional honor is at stake, and I must
bleed him."
"But he can't stand it. The thing to
do is to stop his bleeding"
swell, I'll stop the bleeding of the
torn arm, but I'll let the blood out of the
well one."
"You shall not"
%All right, then; I'll not have any
thing to do with the ease. If medicine
can't go its way In this community with
out being trod on, WV, l stand aside" f"

THE WORLDS END.

When the Last Traces Of Organic LIE
shall Have Bssn Blottsd nom on Its
Surface.
Ages hence It may be discovered that
there Is some slight change in the earth's
orbit; or Mercury, yet nearer 10 the sun
than we, may be seen 10 pursue smaller
orbit than now, and the terrible fact may
come home to man that We are drawing
nearer To- the sun, says writer. Time
goes on and the tropics become too hot
for existence, and colder regions find
welcome change 10 warmth. Age by age
goes by, and the end is, visibly, no near
er, but the figures Of astronomers only
too surely tell their tale.
Now the tropics are an impossible des-
ert and all the life on the globe congre-
gates around the poles; Spain has lost
her vineyards, and the Alps their snow;
England Is burning desert and Green
land teens with the vegetation Of the
tropics; in smaller and smaller circles the
inhabitants gather round the poles But
the narrowed limits of the inhabitable
earth can no longer support this vast In
crease OF population, and famine begins
TO NOW down the victims by millions,
Now, indeed, the end Of all life on the
earth draws on apace. The heat and
drought become more and more insup-
portable; rain and dew fall no longer.
All springs of water fail and the rivers
dwindle down to streamlets and trickle
slowly over their stony beds, and now
scarcity OF water is added to scarcity Of
food. Those who escape from the famine
perish by drought, and those who escape
from the drought are reserved for fate
more awful yet. For time the few re-
naming inhabitants are paEtiahy
screened from the overwhelming power
Of the sun by dense canopy Of clouds
formed by the evaporation Of every lake
and sea.
But soon the sun scorches up these
vapor banks and dissipates them into
space as fast as they can form. Then the
fiery orb shines out In unutterable splen-
dor, without the lightest cloud-wreath to
interpose between himself and his VIC
Tins. Then the last denizens of the world
are stricken down and consumed; the
last traces of organic life are blotted
| from its surface.

An Optical Lesson.

Take sheet Of thick paper, cut a
narrow slit through it, and hold 1t in the
sunlight so that the image Of the slit
shall be thrown upon sheet Of white
paper placed on a table beneath. At
first only bright image Of the slit will
appear; but II a tumbler with plain
bottom, one-third full of water, held in
clined at an angle, is placed in the path
of light not only will the course Of the
beam as whole be refracted or bent out
Of straight line but the air itself will
be more or less perfectly decomposed in
to its constituent colors, forming min
iature spectrum.
The effect is rendered more striking
by cutting two Sits In the paper along
side of each other, so that the light
passing through one goes direct to the
paper screen below, while the other goes
by the way of the improved prism.
Although a dark room with an aper-
ture for the light to enter is unnecessary
in this experiment, such On arrange
ment, where available, would be an i'm
provement. BY filing the air with q
little smoke or dust, the entire course of
the beams may be easily traced.

Absurd Superstition.

Superstition runs wild in Russia. At
Serpookhov, near Moscow, an official
announcement was recently placarded at
the street corners The common people
are unable to read. They requested
man, who looked like priest, to deci-
pher for them the contents of the bill,
He unhesitatingly and positively de-
clared that it contained the warning that
the city of Serpookhoy would be swal-
lowed in the ground. In less than an
hour the news spread throughout the
place, and the people abandoned their
work, and began streaming out into the
fields in large crowds. All the factories
were deserted by the laborers. 1t was
some time before the frightened crowds
were restored to reason and to their reg
ular pursuits; but the originator of the
trouble could not be found.

We Chew Less OF the Weed.

The habit of tobacco chewing is not
now nearly so prevalent as it was 1t is
safe to say that nearly half Of the men
were once chewers; it would be safe to
say that less than one-tenth of them are
chewers now. The ordinary run of West
erners were fond Of the weed, and as for
the ordinary run of Southerners, In
cluding Kentuckians, Missourians and
Georgians, they held it like sweet NOR
sci in tho vicinity of their chops. The
Yankee reformers used to revile the
habit, the Anti-tobacco Society waged
war upon 1t, and there were lectures
against it and pamphlets against it,
They may all have had an influence, but
it is to the progress of civilization that
we are indebted for its diminution. >Peo-
Pile have learned that the habit is often

lives on one Of the avenues on the South
Side, Chicago He was In his study q
few nights ago when young man came
In and began questioning him about the
propriety Of his (the young man's) marry
Ing. The young man foolishly raved
over his sweetheart and called her an
gelie and so on. He was afraid she was
too fragile for this world. The old doc
tor grunted.
@Fragile, eh?" he asked. sHow fragile?
Ever test her fragilitY? Let me give you
some figures about her, and womanklnd
In general, showing how fragile they
are. Let us suppose that this.piece OF
perfection Is in moderately good health.
She will live to be, say, 60 years old.
Women don't like 10 die any more than
men do-not as much-for women never
grow old, you know. Listen TO me; she
will eat one pound OF beef, mutton, or
some other flesh every day. That's 365
pounds of meat in year. In sixty years
it's 21,sC0 pounds. How's that for
fragile? She will eat as much bread and
as much vegetables per diem, and there
you have In sixty years 43,SOO pounds OF
bread and meat II she is not too an
gelic she will drink daily no less than
two quarts Of coffee, tea, wine, or beer.
And by the time she is ready to have a
monument she will have consumed IT'S
hogsheads Of liquids. Fragile?
"Now, young man, these figures do not
include the forty or fifty lambs she will
worry down with mint sauce. 1t does
not take into consideration the 1000
spring chickens, the 500 pounds of but
ter, the SO, 900 eggs, and the four hogs
heads of sugar she will consume in sixty
years. 1t doesn't take into considera-
tion her ice cream, her oysters her
clans, and such. All this means about
forty-fve tons. Fragile? Think Of your
affinity in connection with these figures
and then rave over her being fragile.

taking Iron from the Sea Sand.

Among the numerous magnetic separa-
tors one of the most remarkable is that
for the extraction of iron from the sea
sand. 1t is stated that ordinary sea sand
contains from five to seven per cent. Of
iron, enough to give large excess over
cost of extraction. The machine consists
of a cylinder, whose surface is composed
of electromagnetic, revolving on the in
side of an endless canvas belt The sand
is fed to the belt, and spray of water
separates the particles, the iron being
retained by the powerful electro-mag-
nets, and carried off on the belt to o
receptacle at the other end, while the
sand falls into the trough below.

must be non-irritating, easy of applica-
