INCIDENTS OF CYCLONES.
A Refrigerator That Apparently Walked
Downstairs Into q Cellar.


Downstairs Into Cellar.
Some remarkable stories are told
about narrow escapes from injury or
death by the recent floods and cyclones
and the queer positions in which people
have been left after the subsistence Of
the waters or passing of the storms.
The telegraph reports explained few
days ago how q man was lifted from n
wagon and deposited with great care
the cyclone visited Wellington. Kan.
q young woman was writing letter in
the second story of her fathers house
and q moment after the storm broke
she was standing in the school yard,
three blocks away. uninjured. But this
was not all The young lady had COM
pauy. A young man whom she knew
came sailing through the air and alight-
cd near by. He had sought shelter in

but had been picked mp aud carried of
and finally deposited without injury
near the young lady. Before the storm
a refrigerator tilled with three dozen
eggs. numerous bottles which had ar
rived by express that morning. and
meat. butter. vegetables. etc, rested
quietly in the dining-room mp stairs
After the storm the refrigerator. up
right and without anything inside

house had blown away. the floor re-

the only way for the refrigerator to get

MAMMoThS OF SIBERIA.
Frozen When They Died. Their Bones
Now Cover the Wat Plains.

Frozen when They Dieos Their bones
Now Cover the Vast Piains.
In his book on THE Mammoth and
the Flood" Mr. Howorth advances q
new theory with regard to the remains
of mammoths and other large animals
in the soil of Siberia All over this
great plain, wherever the ground is
frozen hard, are found mammoths and
other animals preserved very fresh, SO
that the wolves and bears can feed upon
their remains
These mammoths have been found
from the eastern border clear to tho
Obi river. They have been found under
conditions which make it certain that
they could not have lived unless the sur
roundings and climate had. at the time
they existed, been entirely different
from the present conditions. The re-
mains of the plants on which they feed
are also found. and southern contempt
rary shells are discovered with the re-
mains, pointing to climatic conditions
which no longer exist.
Mr.. Howorth believes that this pla-
teau is one Of the most recent features
in the known physical geography of the
world, and that it's rapid elevation
caused the tremendous change of eli
mate which has enabled the bodies of
great beasts to be preserved intact as
We find them. He says that unless
these animals had been frozen immedi-
ately after they died, and remained
frozen to this day, they would certain
ly have decayed and disappeared. A
single Siberian summer sun would have
destroyed them completely. 1t is known
that further east the bones of great an
finals have been found seventeen thou
sand feet above the sea under condi-
tions which Falconer declared TO be alb
solutely incompatible with their mode
of life.

WITH apologies to General Horace
Porter, whose remarks we copied
last week, we will say that a patriot.
ism that has to be rehabilitated and
kept In order by going to war every
little while, is not worth much.
There will not be many more wars,
because civilization has taught us
that 1t does not pay. Our moral and
religious nature teaches US that ID is
wrong, and our humanity teaches us
that IL Is cruel. IL love Of our coun-
try, her institutions, government,
history, prosperity, attachments, and
prospects can be kept alive In no
other way than going to war, the
quicker we get rid Of her the better.
There lie n great and horrible gulf In
ordinary human minds between
killing men, destroying property.
aud loving ones country, and there
Is a popular and growing belief that
serving ones country can be done
better, In time of peace than 10 wsr.
AS far ss our country is concerned,
the profession Of armsn IL falling
into disrepute and IL destined to
desuetude. OF course we shall al
ways need sort Of national police
force but we are having less and
lees use for an army all the time.

Of. For q while "the better class OF
Democrats" will denounce Hill in
the strongest terms and they will

the work for less than full legal

Last weeks Osborne Farmer says
It would like to zee the Republicans
Of Kansas sdopt new plan OF
electing United States Senator. Il
cites the case Of the Democrats
Of Illinois who year before last
adopted . resolution In their state
convention making John NJ. Palmer
their candidate, and points to IL rs
an ideal scheme. Practically speak
ing this same plan was followed by
the Republicans Of Kansas in the
election Of 1890. for, while there was
no definite action by the state con-
vention, by common consent Ingalls,
was the candidate Of the party. Mr..
Ingalls, was q "working factor" rs
the Farmer expresses it in 1890, al
though history does not record any
OF his valiant deeds in 1891. 1t Is,
therefore, not entirely new In Kan
sas, as our worthy contemporary
claims.
We think well of the scheme and
hope to see it adopted. The Demo-
Gratis of Illinois owe their success to
the fact that they made General Pal.
mer their candidate in open conven-
ton, while their opponents failed to
name a candidate. The people OF
the United States, and more especial.
ly the people Of the state Of Kansas
want to know who they are voting
for when they east their ballots, and
they are more than ever anxious
about it when il comes to electiDg
an uDtried and in some measure un'
known man to a position where they
choose the occupant at second hand
When a candidate is named at the
state convention along with the
other candidates, it gives the people
something tangible upon which t.
base their deliberations in choosing
the party that will represent then
and their interests best. Next fall will
such plan be especially desirable
because it will divorce from IT, leg
islature entirely the matter of elect
ing a Senator. And it il desirable
that the election should be taker
from the legislature because the con
test wherever held will lie a very
sharp one, and some Of the caudi
dates will move "heaven and earth
i'm order to carry the day. 1t is bu
natural that charges of politica
trades, boodleism and corruption
will follow m the train Of the elec
ton, il held in the legisl AZURE
