The destructive tornado in Iowa calls re-
ncwed attention to this mysterious manifesto
ton of Natures power, which seems to be al
most peculiar to the West, and suggests that
a scientific investigation of its causes might
we'll be undertaken by meteorologsts. For it
is possible that if its causes were known some
thing might be done To prevent it, or, at any
rate, to guard against ii. This last tornado
was one of the worst that has ever visited the
West, and caused great loss of life and prop
erty. Already substantial fund has been
raised for the surviving sufferers, most of
whom have lost everything they possessed.

Carelessness on the part of the crew of the
Philadelphia and Erie westbound freight train
No. Go in running past Ridgeway without orders
appears from the dispatches which we publish
to-day to have been the cause of the terrific
headend collision with an eastbound freight
train that took place yesterday morning near
Johnsonburg. Three lives were lost and at
least four men were seriously injured by the
accident, which led to blockade of the road
the wreck of the two engines and of the eigh-
teen cars being piled upon the line as high as
the top of the telegraph poles.

4 sAMpLE ECONOMy.

Among the many striking instances of
economy which this city government has
shown, there is one which will, we think.
be especially provoking to those citizens
who ordinarily do not think much about
politics, but do think much about the
good administration of the schools and
other public institutions. Under the
system established by the law of the
State, a certain proportion of the whole
tax levy is put aside for the support of
the common schools, to be apportioned
out among the towns and cities in pro-
portion to the scholars, at the rate of
about $1.S7 for every scholar. Portland
pays into this school, or "mill taxi as it
is called, much larger sum than she
gets back. For the purposes of appor-
tioning this fund a census of the school
children is taken each year in each
city and town, and properly certified
return is made to the State treasurer.
Upon this return the treasurer APP
portions the sums coming to the various
cities and Towns. Last year the state
treasurer paid Portland $27,214 as her
share of the school fund. This year
Portland's portion is only $25,0Ss.60, a
falling off of over $2,10o. The cause of
it is very simple. When Mayor Ingra-
hams administration came in it put for
ward new man to take the school CEN
sus. His ideas of taking school census
seem to have been much like Deputy
Marshal Chase's idea of running police
department. The Ingraham ennmera-
tor did his work so carelessly that he
brought in nearly 1850 less scholars than
were returned a year before, although
the enumeration of the polls shows that
the population has increased in the
time.
No wonder the Ing raham administra-
ton could not afford the $500 or $500
needed to make display of the work of
the Portland schools at Chicago.

WILLIAM WALDORF AsToR's HOTEL

He Has Reared Pa1atial Building on
Fifth Avenue, New York.
William Waldorf Astor will certainly
astonish his aristocratic friends in Eng
land and delight the anglomaniacs on
this side if half be true that is published
as to his intentions. His LosKlon home
is Lansdowne House, in Berkeley square,
the property of the Duke Of Westmin-
ster, but he is a frequent guest of the
Duke of Devonshire, and is now organ
izing grand excursion to bring these
dukes and others of his titled friends to
America for the Columbian exposition.
It is even whispered that the Prince of
Wales is now considering an invitation
to be one of the party.
One of the finest steamships is to be
taken for the exclusive use Of the party
and supplied in the most lavish way. In
New York the party are to be the first
guests Of the elegant Hotel Waldorf,
now nearing completion at the corner Of

HOTEL WALDORF.

Thirty-third street and Fifth avenue.
No other hotel in the world can compare
with this for splendid finish, and few
ducal or lordly mansions equal it. The
state dining room is paneled in solid ma
hogany of the costliest kinds, and great
mahogany cabinets are filed with
George G. Boldt's priceless collection Of
old china. The state bedchamber's gen.
eral gorgeousness may be judged from
the fact that So, 500 was paid for the bed
stead alone.
Mr.. Astor and his guests will occupy
the state suite of rooms, so called, Dur
ing some days, or possibly weeks, befe ce
proceeding to Chicago, and it is expected
that the elite of New York's 400" will
be entertained there during the time.
Previously, however, and the first great
event at the Hotel Waldorf, will be the
Grant birthday dinner on April 81,
at which President (then ex-President)
Harrison and many other distinguished
guests will be present. There are $50
rooms in the hotel, no two alike, among
them the finest cafe in the world, the
carving alone having cost $4,000, and
chambers frescoed by the greatest artists.
And all this is done by man whose
great-grandfather landed in New York
as a Dutch peddler."

1t will be of no use for the Eastern
Argus to protest that Alderman Gala
CHER had nothing to do with the new
ward lines. Everybody knows that the
genius of the Ward statesman has per-
vaded this whole administration. All it's
great achievements, with the exception
perhaps of the park monkey, have
been inspired by Gallagher. Of course
we do not mean to say that Mr.. Gala
CHER has performed all the work required
in the accomplishment of these achieve
ments. The conception, however, has
always been his. Sometimes the exc
cution has been trusted to his subordi-
mates. Undoubtedly City Marshal SWEET
and Assessor Farnsworth did the drudg-
cry required in the location of the Ward
lines. But it was the Gallagher brain
that guided them in their work. No
petty jealousy, no race prejudice shall be
allowed to deprive Mr.. Gallagher of the
laurels that are his due-not if we can
help it. Beside the name of Gallagher
all the local Democratic statesmen pale
into insignificance.

The Work Is Conducted With a Minimum
of Danger.
Twenty-Five million dynamite car
tridges are made annually by three fac
tories in France. This gives but an i'm
perfect. idea of the great extent to which
this concentrated terror is used in the
worlds work, for it is made at many
other places. A necessity to miners and
excavators generally, it is also an aid to
crime and has given a name-dynamit-
er-to class Of revolutionists, but now
there are materials for murderous bombs
as much more destructive than dyna-
mite as it is than gunpowder.
The pioneer dynamite factory at Isle
ton. Switzerland, is till in operation, and
skill with long experience has reduced
the danger to a minimum. In large

cooled by series of surrounding, cold
water pipes, the acids and the glycerin

due proportions by other pipes from
above. The compound liquid, yellowish
oily matter, is conveyed to the kneading
pans in another department and there
mixed with a fine siliceous sand and
farinaceous meal, after which it is per-
feet dynamite power.
The cartridges, however, are made of
another form of it called explosive
gum" This contains some extra in
gradients and is sort of paste. One of
the elements is gun cotton highly charged
with nitrate. The most delicate work
at Isleton is done by three women sit

tended cartridge. As the compressed
powder, which, being of an oily consist
ence, now assumes comparative solidity,
issues from this tube or cylinder in the
shape of sausage or of 1nacaroni, it is
cut by the woman on the left hand into
equal lengths of about three inches.
Each piece is chen carefully taken up by
the third woman, who wraps it in oiled
cartridge paper, which she fastens, clos
ing both ends and covering it to exclude
moisture. The tremendous little instru-
ment is now complete.
