LIKE A DOUBLE wHIRLwIND.
A Terrific Cyclone That Left . Desolste
Trail q Mile Wide.

FAYETTEVILLE, ARK, April 20.-At noon
yesterday a cyclone passed through the valley
just south of this place leaving q barren waste
behind it. II tuprooted trees, tore down fences
and destroyed houses. Many homes
were utterly demolished Many families
were in the storm last night without shelter
Out of one family, whose name is Wright, con-
sisting of eight persons, not one escaped
serious injury, but it is probable
that all except one child viii re-
cover Parts of their house were carried
for miles away. A number Of others are re-
ported injured, but how many and to what eK-
tent cannot vet be determined. The cyclone
was plainly visible from this place and many
witnessed the horrible scene.
LIKE A DOUBLE wHIRLwIND.
The cloud came up from the southwest. fol-
lowing a northeasterly course. 1t WAS in sight
for about three miles. The upper portion Of
the cloud was funnel shaped and black and
went spinning like whirlwind round
and round and under and the
ground was another cloud. almost white. which
apparently touching the ground and roll
ing IN directly the opposite direction to the
upper one. literally lifting everything of the
face of the earth that fell in its path. Trees.
fences and planks and parts of buildings were
flying through the air in every direction.
just in front of the funnel-shaped cloud Was
a small cloud that looked like a ribbon whirl-
ing through the air. The cyclone was followed
by heavy wind and rain that lasted most of
the afternoon.
News has been received OF a fearful cyclone
that swept down Fourche valley. leaving death
and havoc in its wake. Boles was almost swept
of the earth Seven persons were killed. A
spectator says that just before the wind struck
the town strange atmospheric phenomena were
noticed and the people were to some extent
prepared Tor the visitor.
HOUSES TOSSED ABOUT AS III OF STRAW.
First the sky became overcast, then . moan.
ing sound was heard and finally greenish-
colored cloud was seen approaching from the
southwest As il neared the wind sprang up
and continued in force until buildings and
trees were unable TO stand against the terrific
pressure. Large houses were lifted of their
foundations as If they were straw and dashed
10 pieces.
The path Of the cyclone WAS . mile in width

order assembled at Newport, Il. l.. on the 9Th
instant On the 10th the prescribed runs
over a mile course at z, 10, II and 16 knots
per nour, and at the maximum speed attain
able, were made in order to standardlze
the crews. Mean draft of the vessel was IL
feet inches During these maneuvers the
handiness OF movement, quick obedience OF
the vessel to the helm and the facility of turn
ing were very apparent. At l6 knots she came
completely around in two minutes and ten
seconds, with . helm angle Of so degrees
The speed over the measured nautical mile
as determined by stop watches was 1904 knots
per hour; ss obtained by the chronograph,
using the Weaver speed and revolution, she re-
corded 1905 knots.
On the l7th, all conditions for uninterrupted
trial and accurate observation over the
course in Long Island sound being good,
the run was successfully made. A gentle to
light breeze from east northeast prevailed,
sea smooth and the marks on ranges distinctly
defined. The Blake and Bache, with three of
their boats, were in position at the ends and
intervening points Of the course to observe
and record the strength and directions
Of the tide, which WAS ebb, high water
at Saybrook having been at 1888 am. The
ship on the initial run passed the Saybrook
range at II l:44:59 am, crossing the Stratford
range at ! % pm. Returning from a wide
sweep and turn a. full speed, she entered upon
the second run at l:50OS pm. and crossed the
Saybroox range at the finish at $3.50: total
time occupied from the beginning to tine end Of
the trial 3 hours and "a minutes.
The performance OF engines, boilers and
auxiliaries was very satisfactory. There was no
tendency on the part Of any Of the Journals to
heat, and ne water was used with the exception
of light stream run on one Of the eccentrics
as . measure Of precaution. Careful calculs-
tions Of the data obtained during the four

engagement never witnessed But that

About a year after the battle was fought
my regiment was ordered out into the
neighborhood Of the same old field We
went over the very same ground, and
there in the open field, exposed to the
torrid sun, were bleaching the bones of
our comrades who fell in that awful en-
gagement. II was sight shall never
forget On every side lay a waste of
skulls-skulls of almost every shape and
size-a modern Golgotha-
I'VE could not identify them, however,
and could only gaze with feeling of
sorrow on the aggregate pile of human
heads that had once been full of life and
feeling. After the deeper emotions ex-
cited by the spectacle had worn away
thought of the infinite variety of shapes
that were presented by the heap. There
were no two Of the same shape or size,

though melancholy interest To inspect

no doubt-Mr. Palmer came into pos

were lively pair of finny beauties when
the doctor took them home with the idea
of slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner. Placing them in pail of water, he
put them into the larder and thought no
more about the matter That night at
midnight he was aroused, SO he says, by
a groan proceeding from the aforesaid
larder. Inspection of the room explained
the mystery.
One Of the fish had sprung from the
basin or pail and lay gasping upon the
floor. every now and then uttering
sounds similar to those which had dis
turbed Mr.. Palmer. Next day both fish
were prepared for dinner. but such was
their tenacity of life that both, after hav
ing undergone the process of scaling aud
evisceration. sprang from the pan and
wriggled about on the floor as though
they had but recently been removed from
their native element

The Strain on the Ere.

There is no reason why muscle or
muscles of the eye should not be tagged
out Just as the muscles elsewhere do
Let one bear weight all day long, does
he not attribute his consequent head
ache to the heavy burden he has borne:
1t seems without elaborate thinking We
could conceive of the results following
upon prolonged use of the eye. Nature
has done all she could to protect and
prolong the usefulness of the eye No
earthly architect ever yet planned a
structure that would not yield, crurnble
and fall, and the house human, so ex-
quisitely uplifted in curious and mys-
FERROUS ways, falls and returns to dust
more rapidly and surely than need be.
for the reason that we do not realize
how much one part is sustained or over
thrown by another. One tiny muscle is
potent enough to disturb the whole econ
omy, especially if intercurrent diseases
exist in addition to ''eye strain. "-Phila-
