The Weather and tho Crops

| Aho "o'thoT hhu tHo SrOp8.
The weekly weather and crop bulle-
tin of the South Carolina weather SER
vice. in cooperation with the United
States Signal Service, for the past week
was issued Saturday afternoon and it is
as follows, giving much information
| to the farmers in the various sections
of the State.
The weather conditions for the past
week have been generally favorable in
most sections of the State to the cotton
crop. The rainfall has been about the
normal. with temperature and sunshine
about the average.
The cotton crop is reported in much
better condition on the clay lands than
those on sandy lands. The excessive
rains OF the previous week do not appear
to have injured the former to the extent
of those of the latter; while it is true
that the plant has shed some OF the
forms on the clay lands. but the she'd
ding has been much greater and the in
jury much more extensive on the sandy
lands; besides rust Is reported and
greater injury must necessarily follow.
In some sections of the State, where
the crop WIS well cultivated and no eX-
cessive rains have fallen, the crop is un.
exceptionally fine, and a large yield may
De looked for, but the area is not large
and is confined to those particular sec
tlOnS.
Cotton caterpillars have made their
appearance on the coast, but as yet no
damage reported.
The corn crop IS very fine, and as the
early corn is now about matured,
large yield must follow. Some little
damage has been sustained by some of
the farmers from Overilows on creek
bottoms. The crops on the river bottoms
were never better, but are later than
usual, and II favorable seasons continue
FOR few weeks, the yield will be larger
than foryears.
The rice crop on the rivers and up.
lands is looking remarkably well, stands
good and IN fine condition.

WINDS WILD WORK.
WASHBlIRN VISITED BY A DESTRUC-
TIVE TORNADO:

Two People Killed and Scores Injured In
Circus-Tho Animals Escape From
Thoir Cages-Grsat Damage to Pro-
pertv.
ASHLAND, Wis, Aug. 8.-A terrible
tornado struck this place at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, demoraliZing buildings
and tearing things up in general A
heavy rain accompanied it, flooding the
streets for hours after.
AT WaShburn, across the bay from
Ashland, the tOrnado's force was more
furious. business blocks were serious
~ damaged and seven people in one
building were slightly injured. Prof.
Wllliams'S circus was giving a per-
formance, the tents we're torn to shat
ters and scores of people were injured,
put, fortunately, only two were killed
George Dedbell and Louis Wilson. The
animals escaped from their cages and
are still running wild in the streets.
About 10000 bushels is damaged in the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minnesota and
Omaha elevator. Several pleasure
yachts were caught on Chequamegon
Bay and have not been heard from as
yet: The roof was stripped from the
Flheld block. The Swedish Baptist
| Church was lifted four feet from it's
foundations and turned around, and
numerous small buildings were twisted
about.
Out on the bay front half a dozen lit
Tie yachts were moOred. They all
broke away from their fastenings and
were wrecked upon the shore. The to-
tai damage amounts to $4,000.
The worst effects of the storm were
experienced at Washburn, on the oppo-
site side of the bay. The postotfice
building, frame structure on Main
street, In which were half a dozen per-
sons. collapsed and caught the inmates
In what seemed to he death trap, but
by fortunate lodgment of timbers,
they all escaped without injury, except
| two women, one of whom suffered q
broken leg and the other a confusion of
the head Half dozen other buildings
are badly wrecked. The roof of the
Omaha elevator was lifted up and
dashed into the bay, exposing the stock
OF wheat to the rain. The dry docks
and hoiSting engines at the coal dock
were blown over and ruined, and many
thousand feet Of lumber piled In the
yards OF the Blgelow mills were blown
into the water. Several sail boats are
reported lost on the Chequamengo Bay,
but the reports are not verified, and
until the full extent Of the storm is
known the damage to marine interests
cannot be estimated. The loss at Wash
, burn Is probably $4,000.

HARTFORD, Nov. 25.-The arguments in
the case OF Morris VS.. Bulkeley were con-
tinued in the supreme court Of errors The
argument for the Republican side was
opened by William c. Case He said the
people were principally interested In find
ing out if there was any power in the state
to settle contested elections They were
not so much concerned as to who was the
governor as to the principle involved. This
power, he said, had been vested in the as
sembly by the trainers Of the constitution.
He argued that if the certificate of a pre-
siding officer at the counting Of the re-
turns was final it might disfranchise half
of the voters of the district He denied
that the moderator is the autocrat OF Con-
necticut elections He ridiculed the claims
Of the other side that no declaration by
the general assembly was necessary.
He was followed by Ex-Governor lngsf
soil for Judge Norris He dwelt upoSthe
constitutional question involved, and in
sisted upon the claim of the Democrats
that the election is consun mated In the
presence of the electors. He was followed
by Hon. II. c. Robinson, who closed for
the Republican side He answered the
main points of the Democratic argument,
and held that it was competent for the
legislature 20 go behind the returns 1t
was agreed TO submit supplemental briefs,
and the court then adjourned sine die.

PARIS. Nov. 25.-Mgr. Gouthe-Soulard,
archbishop Of AK, has been convicted be.
fore the court Of appeals in Paris for hav.
ing written an insulting letter to VI,
Fallierce, minister Of justice and public
worship. Last month some French pill.
grims, who had gone to Rome, were ac.
cused of having written in the register at
the Pantheon, the tomb Of Victor Emanuel,
"Vive le pape-roiW (Hurrah for the pope
king.) This provoked a riot in Rome,
and the French pilgrims were maltreated
in the street.
Archbishop Gouthe-Soulard protested
against the action of the Italian govern.
ment, and in published letter accused
Minister Fallieres of not having done his
duty. VI. Fallieres thereupon obtained
leave to prosecute the archbishop for the
Insult At noon the archbishop In his
violet colored robes arrived at the Palais
de Justice surrounded by 800 priests, who
waited for him outside crying, "Vive
pArchevequeP
The president Of the court addressed the
accused as Monsieur" f." though the attor-
ney general gave him his title Of "Mon-
seigneur." The archbishop read very
short defense, saying that he never had
any intention Of insulting the minister.
The attorney general maintained that the
insult was evident. After two and half
hours Of deliberation the court condemned
the archbishop for insult and outrage to a
fine Of 5000 francs This is ~ first time
that a French prelate has ever been con
demned for an offense OF this kind The
proceeding prove that, unfortunately, the
religious struggle between church and
state has not yet come to an end.

WASHINGTON, Nov. % Crisp and Mills,

are here. Crisp stock has taken another
big jump upward IN consequence Of the

Mr.. Willard Nye, Of New Bedford,
Mass, was attempting to feed a small
dusky shark at Woods Holl with the
meat Of clam. He had theory that
the animal would turn before taking the
food and would be slow in its movements,
but to his surprise the shark snapped
sideways 'Gs quick as lightning" and
took the clam and three fingers Of the
hand that fed it. Other sharks in the
pool, attracted by the sight of blood
dashed up to the edge and would have
made serious work if a victim had been
within reach
The notion that sharks always roll
over when taking food Is deeply rooted
in the popular mind, but the foundation
for this theory is not evident. But we
have seen them taking menhaden in the
side Of the mouth while in the upright
swimming position, shaking the head
like dog until the sharp teeth cut off a
portion Of suitable size and afterward
picking up the remainder of the fish,
provided some other shark had not cap
tured it.-Forest and Stream.

The sponge is perhaps one of the most
curious Of fishes, for fish it is, although
several eminent naturalists Of the past
have maintained that it is not. One
naturalist says that the animalcule of
the sponge is a stomach, without arms,
very simple, very elementary-in short,
an animal all stomach. The innumer-
able canals in the sponge are at once its
digestive organs and breathing pores.
If n sponge is broken open it will be
seen that the pores are of two different
sizes. In the living state the water con-
tanning the particles Of food is constant
ly being absorbed by the small holes
and is discharged by the larger, the food
being retained.

and several others have since been dis
covered. Sponge fishing at the present
