TO BREAK UP CYCLONES.
A Kansas Scientist Has Plan by Which
They Can Be Dispersed.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
TOPEKA. KAN, May Is, 1893.
Kansas scientist has evolved a plan by
which approaching cyclones can be bombarded
and many lives and thousands of dollars
worth of property saved from destruction
The scientist is DR.. C. r. Carpenter of Leaven-
worth. who has given this subject great deal
of study during the past five years.
DIR. Carpenter says that the great Mississippi
and Missouri valleys compose the cyclone
center of the continent. His theory is to have
every city that is large enough to have fire
department also have cyclone station where
men could be trained to watch for coming
twister and then destroy il before it could
reach the city, by exploding it with torpedoes.
In an interview with the doctor as to the
modus operandi of tackiing Kansas cyclone
corrallng and destroying its force, he said:
II would have station sufficiently high to
permit the watchmen to see one when it is
coming. Let the watchmen give the alarm and
then turn out sufficient number of trained
men to throw torpedoes into the center of the
cyclone and scatter it to pieces. l think it
could be done, and l believe the theory is
worth experimenting upon. The torpedoes
would have to be sent into the cloud scientif-
cally. CT course; that is why say men should
be trained to the service. Secretary Rusk
thought 1t wise to spend considerable sums in
order to test a theory of how to cause rain in
dry places. Why not spend a little IN
a hfe-saSing and property protecting service?
Millions of dollars worth of property and
scores of lives are lost in this
country every few years by cyclones. Power
full tOrpedoes thrown into these disastrous bal
looms would certainly cause them to collapse
l would say have the station attached TO the
weather bureau. There we have a service by
which the storm may be detected at a sufficient
distance TO be prepared for it when it arrives
Then destroy 1t before it comes in dangerous
proximity. Strong marine glasses could be
used at night by watchmen and an alarm could
be given in plenty OF time. NV method would
Of course be of no use in hurricanes, but am
fully convinced that my theory is good one
for cyclones and we'll worth trial"
The suggestions of DIR. Carpenter are Great

Alleged Determination Against Washington.

gentleman from Hartford. going to Chi

ment: Round-trip tickets from Hartford via
New lorh. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
inSton, connecting at this place with the 11:35
am. for Chicago. 100; sleeping section. two
nights. Sll.00. TO his surprise (having to take
up members OF his family at Washington. and
no stop overs allowed) he found here the fol-
lowing rates: Round trip by fast express,
S3A 80; one way. $500. SO he made a saving
OF 80 by buying three single tickets. One
sleeping section, one night. $1,000. 1t seems
To me that tine clear. illuminating RAYS of THE
STAR should be turned upon this matter to the
end that this discrimination against this COM
munlty may be corrected IL Is possible that
the only ones benefited by the low rates are
the favored denlZens OF New England At all

THE sABBATARIAN SENTIMENT.

Sunday Is really coming 10 mean more in
England than it used to. OF course. the saloon
business is controlled by act of parliament only,
and there is no immediate prospect of a change
SO far as Sunday selling in England and Scot
land is concerned. 1t IL in other directions
that the Sabbatarian sentiment is making itself
felt. In Brumagem-which is English for
Birmingham-they have been having lively
times. The morals OF that city are officially
looked after by what is called 1.-THE watch COM
mittee, and this committee has revived some
forgotten laws by which the sale of tobacco
and cigars and newspapers on Sunday is pro-
hlblted. More recent laws than this one of tho
late King Charles permit the saloons to open on
Sunday, and as saloons are allowed to sell to-
bacco and cigars the temperance smokers have
to buy their smokes at the saloons According
TO this old law the crime of selling newspapers
on Sunday can be punished by a fine of two
shililng5. The Sunday newspapers have de-
cided to fight the watch committee and paw the
BOYS fines. he committee Insists that the bows
shall be arrested, and the slops-which is
English for policemen-of good old Brum''
are having lively time of it sundays.
Strange as il may seem. there is a possibility
that home rule will not always be the leading
feature in English politics. and after it is dis
posed of there Is every reason 10 believe that
the temperance question will be its successor.

Notes From the Insane Hospital.

The Kings Daughters of the St.
Peter State Hospital wish to thank
the Mankato merchants for their gen.
erous donations Of ribbons, silk and
wooden scraps, collected by Mrs. L. 2.
Hunt. These pieces are of great SER
vice to us, and are used in the halls
in various ways.
On Friday night, Feb. 18th, the
ladies Mendelssohn Quartet of Man
kato gave most delightful entertain
ment to the inmates of the ST. Peter
hospital. The members Of the club
are Misses Griffin, Sparrow, Ellis aud
Sweetland, and they cheerfully gave
their services for sweet charity's sake.
Their voices blend with perfect har-
mOny, and each number was received
with enthusiastic applause. The stage
was deliberately decorated with palms
and towering plants, and with the
lovely dresses, made charming
picture.
The Hospital extends thanks to
these philanthropic ladies, and the
universal verdict was that Mankato
may well be proud Of her tuneful
quartet.
In addition to the songs rendered
Miss May Usher Griffin gave several
recitations. Her pleasing manner
and graceful rendition gave great
pleasure to the large and appreciative
