He Makes Cyclones.

Professor Douglass has succeeded in
manufacturing miniature cyclones and
tornadoes by means Of electricity, thus
proving the electrical character Of the
''prairie terrors." In carrying out his
plans he suspended a large copper plate
by silken threads and charged it from a
battery. He then used arsenious acid
gas, whereupon the combination of gas
and electricity could be seen hanging
from the under side of the plate in the
form of perfect funnel shaped cyclone
cloud. When everything was ready
the professor swung the plate and the
miniature cyclone to and fro across q
table Uttered with matches, pieces of
paper, pens, pencils, etc. The lighter
objects were instantly sucked up, the
heavier scattered in all directions. The
effects were exactly those of destructive
cyclones.
These curious experiments explain cy-
clonic phenomena. Low clouds become
charged with electricity, descend and
form a connection with the earth. Then
violent electrical commotion ensues,
finally settling into whirl which con-
tinues until an electric equilibrium is
established.-St. Louis Republic.

The Greek Story of the First Woman.
The first woman created, according to
heathen Greek mythology, was Pandora.
She was made Of clay by Vulcan, at the
request of Jupiter, who wished to punish
the impiety Of Prometheus by giving
him wife. When this woman Of clay
had received life all the gods We'd max
ing her presents. Venus gave her
beauty; the Graces gave her the power
Of captivating; Apollo taught her music.
Mercury instructed her in eloquence,
and Minerva gave her the most splendid
ornaments. From these presents, re-
ceived from the gods, the woman was
called Pandora, which intimates that
she had received every necessary gift.
Prometheus was too artful to marry
this woman and could NOT be captivated
by her charms, but his brother, Epi-
metheus, who was not 80 prudent, mar
ried her instead, and upon opening q
box which she presented to him there Is.
sued from it multitude of evils, which
dispersed themselves over the world and
still continue to afflict the human race.
Hope only remained at the bottom to
assuage the troubles and sorrows Of life.

him warmly. An hour later and Smith
was ashore at Sandy Hook. From there
he made his way to the Atlantic High
lands, where, at u modest little hotsl

When Miss Brown had been informed
as to young Smiths whereabouts, she
was displeased. She did not really
think he could go off in that fashion,
with just calm and formal goodby, she
told herself. The more she thought Of
it the less she liked it. When three
weeks had gone by she was quite sure
she had never meant to say mo" to
Smith when ne asked her to marry him.
''If he'd only come sback!" she would
say to herself. 'Inever knew how much
cared for him until he went away"
One evening her father came in and
said:
swell, Smith will be back tomorrow
and I'm glad of it. The business hasn't
been run so smoothly since he went
| away"
From her father Miss Brown learned
that the private secretary was expected
in ON one Of the French steamships, and
that most of the clerks in the banking
house were going to the dock to meet
him.
The French steamship which came up
past Sandy Hook that morning was
slowed down long enough to take aboard
pilot. And with the pilot came aboard
another gentleman who, the pilot said,
was friend of his. The other was
Smith, who had only that morning left
the small hotel at which he had been
staying and got aboard the pilotboat.
He was attired in the costume usually
affected by tourists. He had grown
stouter and become bronzed during his
stay at the Highlands.
When Smith had been greeted by his
friends in the Office the senior member
Of the firm invited him to dinner. He
marked, and with approval, that Smith
seemed more anxious to talk about bust
ness than the places he had visited in
Europe.
They had reached the house, and
Smith was passing toward the library,
when he suddenly came face to face
with Miss Brown
"Oh, Gus-Mr. Smith," said she
startled for the moment into betraying
herself, "Pm 50 glad that you have
come observation-disclosures papa has
missed you SO much," she added. But
Mr.. Smith did not believe it was alto

glad he had returned, and later in tn
evening inquired more particularly int
the matter.

the banking house were changed. There
