Here's unique faCt.
"What's that?"
The stenographer, the boOkkeeper
and the reporter were talking to-
gether. The reporter of the New
York World added:

The boolkeeper smiled.
"Well, I declared" he said, "what a
strange coincidence. I declare, we
must be on the track of some deep
and heretofore unrecognized law Of
mental states.
"Now, what you say applies equally
we'll to bookkeepers. There isn't an
old bookkeeper in the United States
who will not tell you that, when his
mind becomes wearied after long

That is one of the ways, in fact, that
I can tell that I am becoming tired.

The shorthand man acknowledged
that it was the same, too, with him.

Tobacco and Fame.

An American woman who considers
graceful smoking an elegant accom-
plishment has taken the trouble to
accumulate number of facts relative
to the great men who have been adj
dicted to this habit, and submits the
following as the result of her inyeSti-
CATION:
Ben Johnson loved the weed and
smoked habitually, describing every in
cident of his experience with his pipe
with the gusto Of the connoisseur.
Hobbies, the philosopher smoked
after dinner invariably a pipe, and
not moderately. Glorious Milton, be-
fore retiring, always INDUCED in a
pipe of peace and glass of water.
Even Sir Isaac Newton was dreamily
blowing wreaths Of smoke from his
mouth in his garden at Woolsthorpe
when the apple fell that led to the
discovery of the law of grayitation.
Addison was rarely seen without his
pipe at Buttons. Fielding, the nov
elist, added to the habit of smoking
the vice of chewing.
OF the more modern poets Shelley
never smoked, nor Wordsworth nor
Keats as far as known. Coleridge
was an inveterate opium eater, but
when cured of that he became adj
dicted to snuff. Campbell had ten
der affection for his pipe and never
got over it. Sir Walter Scott smoked
when riding and after dinner, loving
both pipes and cirgars. Byron sung
perhaps more than any other poet the
praises of sublime tobacco" but it is
we'll established fact that he smoked
very moderately.
Goethe, like Shakespeare, did not
smoke. Carlyle took great comfort
from the weed for many years before
his death-greatly to the disgust OF
his wife Douglas Jerrold used to
puff away between his jokes. Of
novelisGs of this century, Dickens and
Thackeray were both smokers, and
Lord Lytton INDUCED in pipe at
night but preferred cigars in the day
time. Moore, the Irish poet, cared
very little for pipes or cigars, in fact,
Irish gentlemen as rule, smoking
much less than the English, and the
Germans more than either.
The Duke Of Wellington was total
abstinence man on the subject of to-
bacco, as was also Sir Robert Peel.
Disraeli dearly loved his pipe when
young man. but grew sensitive in
middle life and characterized it "the
tomb of love.

possibility of depluming fowl under
such conditions. Prof Loomis attempted
to determine the velocity at which the
wind must blow in order to remove
feathers from fowl He loaded six
pound howitzer with powder and dead
fowl, and on firing it found that the
fowl had been torn limb from limb.
The estimated velocity was 800 miles
per hour, and it was thought that at
100 miles per hour the feathers might
have been stripped and yet the body
kept whole. 1t would seem, however,
that long before the wind velocity could
reach a point at which the fowl would
be deplumed the whole body, feathers
and all, would be carried away
The fact that houses sometimes pre-
sent the appearance of having been ex-
p oded is also advanced as a proof of
the existence of vacuum in a tornado.
1t should be noticed that this appearance
is often found at some distance from the
tornado center, while the partial vacuum,
if there were one, would not extend so
far A striking illustration of the sup
posed influence of vacuum was de-
veloped in the tornado at New Ulm,

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1891-11-12

a tornado will frequently occur during
the busiest part of the day and very few
people will be injured. In WilkeSbarre,
Pa, last year, tornado passed through
very busy section of the city where
many thousands were exposed directly
to its onslaught, and yet only sixteen lost
their lives. One reason for this immu-
nifty is the fact that the unmistakable
roar gives ample warning and leads peo-
pie to seek places of safety.
Can the energy OF the tornado be
diminished or be entirely dissipated?
This is destined to be a most important
question in our Western States. If it is
possible to dis ipate waters pouts by con-
cussionS of gunpowder why may not the
energy of tornado be dissipated? Of
course there would be a practical i'm
possibility in making explosions just at
the right time and place, but the plan
does not seem to be entirely chmerical.
1t is believed that, in general. the eX-
iStence OF a large wooded tOuntry to the
southwest and west Of town forms a.
good safeguard against the development
of the most de Structive tornadoes. Since
almost all the Severer Of these storms
come from the southwest, it may some
time be found entirely feasible to sta
ton watchmen at the distance of mile
or two to the west and southwest who
could give ample warning, by special
strokes on a BELL when tornado was
likely to cross the town. The fact should
never be lost sight of, however, and
should allay great deal of anxiety in
the minds Of the most timid, that all the
severest tornadoes give ample warning
of their approach
It will no doubt appear that in all this
q good deal has been said about lorna
does, but no consistent theory of their
mechanism has been given. This is true,
and in the minds of many it would seem
that we could do little more at present
than say what tornado is not Until
we can investigate the conditions of the
atmosphere at the spot where the tor
nado obtains it's energy, we must con-
tinue to grope in the dark and to add to
our knowledge little by little, hoping
some time to obtain a clearer idea of its
formation.
