craftsmen. The appropriation is $780,
600, but it is not improbable that before
the building is completed the cost will
exceed a million. The site was donated
by the city, and the amount saved in
this respect will be put into the struc-
ture itself. The appropriation there
fore means that at least $500, 900 will
be invested above the ground. Ordi-
narily fourth or more of this amount
would be expended for site. The build
ing will contain the postoffice, United
States courtrOoms and offices for the
customs and internal revenue service
1t will occupy an entire block, the front
being on Fifth street, the rear on Sixth,
and the side entrances on Market and
Washington streets. The rear entrance
will be used exclusively for the receipt
and dispatch Of mail matter, and will
be reached by a driveway extending
from Washington to Market. The first
floor will be occupied 10y the postoffice,
the second by the customs service, in
ternal revenue, surveyor general, super
wishing inspector of steam vessels and
pension agent. The third floor will be
given up to the district and circuit
courts and their officers, besides rooms
for witnesses, grand and petit juries,
judges, marshal and deputies, district
attorney and clerk Of court The fourth
floor will be divided into file rooms,
dormitories for the railway mail service,
etc. The building is to be in the form
of a hollow square, although the first
floor will be rooted over entirely with
glass. There will be a tower at the
main entrance on Fifth street, which
will rise 1862 feet above the sidewalk
All of the latest conveniences will be
used, and the building will be an orna-
ment to Minnesota's capital.

An English paper, in speaking of the
rapid growth Of American towns, says
that England can show some remark
able examples Of that kind, too, the most
notable being the town Of Crewe, which
has grown from a hamlet of ffty-one
souls in 1881 to "a place of 10000 popula-
ton in 1892. In the United States there
is scarcely a city which has advanced at

The DEADLY TORNADO.



Some Pointers of Value to Those Living
Where 1t Prevails.
The month Of April opened with
storms in the west over q wider area
than has been known for many years,
and from Lake Michigan almost to the
Rocky mountains there were many lines
of destruction. The people have not
yet learned how to guard against these
destructive phenomena, though scien-
lists insist that much may be done in
that direction. They are called cyclones,
but are in fact tornadoes and hurricanes,
as the cyclone occurs only on the ocean.
Their causes are plain enough: vast
stretch of country without mountains
and a climate in which extreme heat
often prevails for several days. Amer
lea is thus the natural home of the tor
nado, while Europe is exempt because
mountain chains extend in nearly all
directions from the central upheaval, so
to speak. In the United States for the
same reason West Virginia is exempt,
and Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky
nearly so; but as soon as we pass the
southern limit Of the higher Alleghanies
we find broad tornado belt from cen
trail Mississippi to North Carolina.
Lieutenant John P. Finley, of the
United States army, has compiled the
results of observations for two centuries
and presented a map Of storms which is
in the highest degree suggestive. The
storm center Of the United States is thus
