Those living in portions of our coun-
try exposed to tornadoes will be glad TO
know that scientists tell us there is al
ways warning OF the approach of tor
nado 10 those that are observaut. Clouds
may be seen hurrying together in the
southwest aud west, low, dull roar of
the wind in those clouds may be per
ceived, while there is a great stiffness
and sultry heat in the air; all OF which
signs ars sufficient to bid people look for
safety This safety they will never find
in any easterly direction. One who fac
es the cloud as it comes should seek
safety to the right. The only absolute
safety, however, is to be found under
ground, in the cellar of the house, ii it is
a wooden house, as the storm will whirl
of the beams and boards Of the struc-
ture; but il it is brick or stone house,
the shattered walls will only tumble in;
the brick or stone house, moreover, will
fall sooner than the wooden one, which
yields and gives. In the tornado coun-
tries especially in the more open por-
tions, there should be an underground
place provided for refuge, with its roof
arched aud strengthened by masonry
and beams, so that it cannot be broken
in by anything heavy falling upon it,

Tho Grip Carried Him on, After Sixteen
Years of Suffering.
NEW York, March 21.-A dispatch
from Port Jefferson, l.. l., says that
Edward Emmons, known as ..the ossi-
fed man." is dead.
Emmons died of an attack of the
grip. He was taken sick week
ago. He was born in Port JEFF
ferson thirty-eight years ago. One
winter he was afflicted with
rheumatism in the legs and arms.
He was then 90 years old, and he suf-
fered intensely and never left the
house again, but lay there for sixteen
years. His bones gradually ossifed
and his body became rigid, except
one arm, of which he retained
the use. His jaws were set,
and he was fed through hole in the
mouth where tooth had been broken
out. He could talk and read,
but was little deaf. He often
wished for death to end his suffer-
ings. His father was afflicted
in identically the same way, but
died before the joints were entirely
set Emmons leaves mother, four
sisters and one brother. All of the
family with the exception of the moth
er are subject to rheumatism.

Opponents OF tho Pleasnt Government
Resort to Arms.
New YORK, March 10. "A cablegram
from Caracas, Venezuela, to the Herald
announces that the opposition to Pres.
ident Palacios als resulted in resort
to arms. A bloody engagement has
been fought between q body of revo-
lutionists and government troops near
that city.
So far as can be learned the advan-
tage rest with the government. but the
fear is generally expressed that this is
but the beginning of a long and des-
perate fight for the control of the coun-
try which may result in the loss of q
great many lives and again plunge the
republic into the chaos from which it
was just BEGINNING to emerge.
Particulars Of thursdays battle are
meager as yet, and it is impossible to
tell the number of men engaged or the
casualties. In fact the only reliable
news is that the revolutionists were
forced to retire.
1t has been an open secret that q
fight would follow the elections no
matter what the result might be, and
for months both parties have been pre-
pairing for it.
President Palacios has used every
possible means to retain power and
strengthen his position, while his op-
ponents have also been husily engaged
in recruiting and arming themselves in
anticipation of the final struggle.
