east. The question as to which way to
run may have to be decided on the in
slant. Surprising the danger immi-
nent the proper way to do is to run
either north or south, but never to the
east or northeast. because that is the
direction in which the storm is moving.
If it is only mile away and coming
directly toward the observer the latter
has just about one minute to get out Of
the way. If he does not start wrong
the chances are that he will escape.
If in doubt strike for the north, for, as
has been said, that is the safe side Of u
tornado.
Happily, in the east such phenomena
are comparatively infrequent, but there
is not a State between the Tooth merid-
ian and the Atlantic ocean in which
they do not occur. Accordingly, no.
body can be sure that he may not at
some time have to tackle a tornado, and
these rules, if not worth FASTING in ones
hat, should be at least remembered.
AS for seeking shelter from such dan
ger in a building, there is no safety in
that. Experts in such matters declare
that no structure can be raised by man
above the surface of the earth which
will resist the violence of this sort of
storm. Not even 80 massive pile as
the treasury building could Withstand
a first-class tornado. In the great "cy-
clone" at Grinnell, Iowa, q few years
ago, which destroyed many lives and a

precautions against damage by the
falling OF heavy masses of debris.
Sometimes a cave is dug apart from
the house, but close by it, on the west
side. 1t is made big enough to accom-
modate all the inmates of the dwelling.
Such o resort is means of absolute
safety. Fortunately, as has been said,
the approach OF tornado is adver-
tised in advance by unmistakable pre-
monitory symptoms. The householder
has simply to convey his family to the
Cyclone cellar" close the entrance by

Justified Trust.

One morning Mr.. Alcott was
breakfasting in Boston when the bell
rang and a stranger sent in word
that he wished to see him.
"Mr. Alcott," said the man when
they met, you do not know me, and
will be surprised to learn why have
called upon you. l am in business
here, and am very much in want of
IS, which l will repay as soon as l
can. Will you lend it to me?"
Here, thought Mr.. Alcott, was an
opportunity OF testing his favorite
theory of human nature, that all
men may be trusted. He took out
his pocketbook instantly
II have no five dollar BILL" said he,
"but here are $40. Take this"
The man looked surprised, but ac-
copied the money and went his away.
His creditor did not even take the
trouble to ask his name. and was for
months necessarily rallied by his
friends, who would inquire when he
expected to be repaid. More than
six months afterward, at the same
hour of the day. the man appeared
again, saying:
"Mr. Alcott, I haven't forgotten
that you lent me $40, when I only
wanted five. I have called to pay
you, and / wish you would add the in
terest"
This the creditor declined to do,
but received his principal and suffered
his debtor to go away again without
asking his name. Some weeks after
ward he told the story in a Boston
counting house, and learned on de-
scribing the appearance of his visitor
that he was notorious confidence
man who, in this instance, had appar-
emily found the simple trust of the
philoso pher too much for even his
profess ional villainy to Withstand. =

by vivid display OF lightning. The
width of the destructive path is
rarely over 300 feet. In the central
line all trees are strewn in the same
direction, as though a mighty river
had passed and left them behind. Just
after the tornado usually come tor
rents of rain, which has caused these
phenomena to be called "cloudbursts. 3"
On one occasion hail was reported as
having fallen to depth of four feet.
Causes Which Produce Tornadoes.
The causes which produce tornadoes
are pretty well understood. They are
found very often in the Mississippi val
ley, which, as is we'll known, is region
particularly liable to such atmospheric
disturbances. Suppose that the day is
warm and sultry and the stratum of
heated air near the earth is full of va
por. A current of cold air flows in
above. There you have a situation
which is calculated to make trouble.
The cold air being much heavier than
the warm, the natural place for it to
occupy is the bottom layer, with the
warm stratum on top of it. So there
is tendency for the two to change
places. A meteorological squabble en-
sues, which produces what is called a
storm.
Presently the cold layer of air aloft
finds a place in the warm layer below
1t, through which it can make its way
downward. 1t does so, and the per.
Torrance is exhibited to the eye of the
observer by the appearance OF de.
scending funnel OF vapor. It vhirll
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1893-09-20

around in obedience to the same law
which causes a stream Of water pour
ing through hole in the bottom Of
bowl to revolve. Incidentally an
enormous energy is developed. The
balloon OF vapor goes sweeping along
with a tremendous roar and an accom-
panying electrical display. 1t is moth
ing more nor less than highly exag-
gerated thunder storm. Thunder
storms are brought about in exactly
the same way, save that the cold stra-
tum above and the warm stratum below
are mingled more gradually, producing
less violent symptoms and forming no
whirling funnel.
The tornado is precisely the same
thing as water spout at sea. Water
spouts have often been dissipated by
the firing of cannon, and it has been
suggested that explosions of dynamite
might produce the same effect on the
terrestrial phenomenon. The difficulty
would be to get near enough, and no
body who could run away would care
to stand his ground and for scientific
purposes experiment with explosives
on the susceptibility of Cyclone. y
Data respecting tornadoes are unsatis-
factory, because those who have an
opportunity to observe them are in
such fear of their lives that their ac-
counts are not apt to be reliable. Nc
photograph of one of these whirling
tunnel clouds has ever been secured,
though many bogus ones have been
manufactured for sale. However, now
! that the kodak fiend. whom nothing
can terrify is abroad in the land. it may
be expected that sooner or later some
snap shots will be obtained.
Tricks Tried with Storms.
Men have stood within $50 feet Of
tornadoes on the north side, which il
the safe side, without being injured
All sorts Of foolish tricks have beer
tried with these storms. A Kansas
man tried to drive across the path O.
one with team and wagon. thinking
that he could get oves in time and be-
ing in hurry to deliver some lumber
The consequence was that he and the
horses We're killed and badly mangled
the cart being reduced to q wreck and
the lumber scattered over severa
square miles Of territory in the shape
of kindling wood. People have actual,
refused to run away from a tornado
with similar consequences. Other
have made the mistake Of running il

EARTHQUAKES.
At Sea They Raise the Wind and Waves
Sixty Feet.

At Sea They Raise the Wind and Waves
Sixty Feet.
While we usually think of earth
quakes as taking place on land. they
do occur with equal devastation in
the ocean. That point in the earth
at which the explosion or breaking
takes place is called the earthquake
focus. and from it what are known as
earthquake waves pass to the sur
face, says st. Nicholas. Take a
basin full. Of water and dip glass
tube into it. Blow through the tube
and you will see bubbles rising to the
surface and circular waves passing
out. The disturbance at the bot
tom of the basin corresponds with
the explosion or swapping Of the crust
at the earthquake focus with the
difference that instead of water waves
the latter produces earth waves, pass
ing through the ground.
When the city of Lisbon, Portugal,
was DESTROYED, the earthquake took
place in the bottom Of the sea- fifty
miles west of the CITY, Yet it so
agitated the water that a wave sixty
feet high dashed over Lisbon, de-
| stroying it and its inhabitants in the
space Of six minutes Another earth
quake, occurring just off the coast of
Peru, made such a gigantic wave
that large vessel was thrown sew
eral miles inland. These are called
earthquake waves. They are the
largest known waves and are caused
by the heaving and rocking Of the
bed of the sea. In deep water such
waves are not very high, but their
motion extends far down into the
ocean. When they reach shallower
water however, they heap up like a
gigantic wall and, with force more
terrible than fire or sword, they
sweep on, bearing destruction with
them. Huge ships are tossed like
straws far inland or mirgle their ruin
with that of harbor town.

How They DO 1t in Boston.

'Coffee beans made of flour" are
alleged to cut quite figure on the
retail grOcer's coffee scales in the
goodly East. The Boston "Traveler"
says:
1.-THE willy grocer does not attempt
to palm off these initiation beans for
coffee. He is not a foolish man, your
grocer; no, he only drops IN what he
considers fair proportion, proper
ton which, we'll mixed with the gen.
uine article, gives about all the favor
it is safe for person to inhale. The
cunning housewife grinds, and laughs
at the foolish women who do not buy
whole coffee beans The thrifty
grocer laughs, too and goes on pay
ing his pew rent and building tene-
ment rows; the son of the Yankee in
ventor laughs; everyone is pleased,
and best Of all the coffee hurts no
one, even the baby can take sip
with DO possible bad effects"
