The Lawrence Journal thinks the
slight decrease IN population in the cities
of Kansas, shown by Mothers report, is
accounted for by the circumstance, as it
alleges, that great many loafers have
moved to the country to become states
men and get Office. If that is true it
goes to show what foolish lot the
loafers are; the statesmen and Office
holders of chat party are from the towns
exclusively and VIII continue to be as
long as there are any offices to dispense.

difficulty would be to get near enough,
and nobody who could run away
would care to stand his ground
and for scientific purposes expert
ment with explosives on the sus-
ceptibility of "cyclone. p" Data re-
specting tornadoes are unsatisfactory,
because those who have an opportunity
to observe them are in such fear Of
their lives that their accounts are not
apt to be reliable. No photograph of
one of these whirling funnel clouds
has ever been secured, though many
bogus ones have been manufactured
for sale. However, now that the ko-
dak fiend, whom nothing can terrify,
is abroad in the land, it may be ex-
pected 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 is
the safe side, without being injured.
All sorts of foolish tricks have been
tried with these storms. A Kansas
man tried to drive across the path of
one with team and wagon, thinking
that he could get over in time and be-
ing in a hurry to deliver some lumber.
The consequence was that he and the
horses were killed and badly mangled,
the cart being reduced to a wreck and
the lumber scattered over several

way to run may have to be decided on
the instant. Supposing the danger
imminent 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 excape. If in doubt strike for the
north, for, as has been said, that is the
safe side of tornado.
Happily, in the east such phenomena
are comparatively infrequent, but there
is not State between the Tooth meri-
dian 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 tornado,
and these rules, if not worth pasting
in ones hat, should be at least remem-
bered. AS for seeking shelter from
such danger 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 so
massive pile as the treasury building
could withstand tirst-class tornado.
In the great "cyclone" at Grinnell,
Iowa, few years ago, which destroyed
many lives and vast amount of prop
erty, onv Of the buildings reduced to
complete ruin was n solid eiitice OF
stone and brick used for a public
school. The tornado tore it to pieces
as easily as if it had been so much lath
and plaster.
On the contrary, building OF brick
or stone is more unsafe refuge from
t. do than a frame dwelling, be-
cause, if destroyed, it tumbles in and
buries people in the ruins. When the
famous "cyclone" of 1890 struck
Louisville forty-four persons were
killed in the wreck of the Falls City
Hall. That storm wiped out seventy
six lives and So, $50, 600 worth of prop
erty in Louisville, and in other towns
fifty nine lives and 81, 900, 600 inprop-
erty. The whirling cloud, which was
described as shaped like a turnip,
struck Louisville at about 7.45 in the
evening. The noise it made was COM

CHICAGO RECORD: Wisconsin courts
have combined to make the State
Treasurer's Office less the political
plum that it has been for so long.
Under judgments that have been
found against ex-Treasurers for In
terest retained on public funds the
State is to recover many thousands
Of dollars. These figures mount up
in such proportions as make 1t con-
ceivable how the custom OF retaining
interest On public funds was ever
tolerated by the people OF State.
In the judgments found interest at
the rate of I per cent. has been
charged against the officials from the
time of their REIMBURSEMENT of office.
Thus the State will receive the re-
tained interest on public money and
I per cent. interest upon these sums
since the time the Treasurers settled
with the State. For Treasurer Guen-
theirs first term he will account for
$50, O,O65, and SO, 299 will be returned
from his second terms emoluments,
making a total of sl3O,364 refunded
by him to the State. Ex-Treasurer
McFetridge has already paid in $14o,-
900 and $4,000 more is due. Ex-
Treasurer Harshaw has paid back
S66, 900 of State money, making
1rand total of more than 1915, 600
which reverts to the treasury Of Wis
:onsin. The people will not question
the motive behind the suits. 1t Is
enough to recognize the enforced rep
aration. One good and lasting bit
Of legislation left Illinois by its last
Legislature was the bill which should
make interestgrabbing impossible by
the custsdians Of public funds in the
State.

intensified. All the gasiets in the city
went out or were nearly extinguished,
and the crash of falling buildings added
to the appalling rumpus, while ter
rife electrical display served as an ac-
compartment, balls of fire playing
about. Apparently the lower end OF
the funnel did not touch the ground,
the destruction being confined to the
upper stories of the houses.
The only place where safety can be
found against tornado is under
ground. In the region where storms
of this type are frequent prudent
people construct what they call
"cyclone cellars" This is usually an
excavation made through the west wall
of the house outward, 80 that no part
of it is beneath the dwelling. The
west side is chosen because the danger
always comes from that direction,
and, if the house is demolished, the
ruins will be thrown away from the
"cave." The floor of the latter is
made level with the floor of the cellar,
and the earth roof of the cave is sup
ported by heavy timbers and arched
with masonry of brick or stone. These
are precautions against damage by the
falling Of heavy masses of debris.
Sometimes ceve is dug apart from
the house, but close by it, on the west
side. 1t is made big enough to ac-
commodate all the inmates Of the
dwelling.
Z, Such a resort is a means of absolute
safety. Fortunately, as has been
said, the approach of tornado Is ad-
vertised in advance by unmistakable
premonitory symptoms. The house
holder has simply to convey his family
to the "cyclone cellar" close the en-
trance by strong door provided for
the purpose and await the passing Of
the danger. If person finds himself
in the path of the whirling monster
and has no refuge the best thing for
him to do is to throw himself face
downward, with his head to the east
and his arms over his head to protect
it. If near large stone or stump he
should lie down with his head toward
the object, embracing it. If compelled
to remain in building he should go
to the west room on the ground floor
and stand in the center of it. 1t Of
ten happens that half of a house is
torn away, the other half remaining
uninjured. By seeking the west side
one is more likely to escape being

POINTS IN DISPUTE.
There are many points about the
tornado which are in dispute among
meteorologists. Some of them are OF
the opinion that there is a partial
vacuum in the middle of the whirling
balloon cloud, and many witnesses
speak of the manner in which the huge
funnel sucks up everything in its path.
It is stated that the sucking sound is
very distinctly heard as the monster
rushes across the country. 1t certainly
does take up water from streams, and
one instance is recorded where tor
nado completely emptied well forty
feet deep. Other authorities aver that
in the midst of the revolving funnel
there is plenum, the reverse OF
vacuum.
Some OF the doings perpetrated by
tornadoes are most astonishing. At
Wallingford, Conn, August 9, 1878,
storm of this sort blew stone monu-
ments off their bases. 1t was estimated
that the velocity of whirl required to
accomplish this was 260 miles an hour.
Children have frequently been lifted
hundreds of feet into the air and
laid down unhurt. 1t has been observed
that objects uplifted by this agency
do not drop with the ordinary force of
falling bodies in many instances. A

Latest STYLES in Hairdressing.

The latest styles of coiffures affected
by the modern fashionable woman are
scarcely less intricate than the elab-
crate modes long prevalent in Japan.
The revival of the 1880 style cannot be
effected without the intervention OF q
skillful hairdresser. Some women
simplify the matter by using a detach-
able chignon and "front" which can
be securely fastened to the head by
improved attachments, and which have
the undeniable merit of never becom-
ing disarranged. 80.
But where there is an abundance of
natural tresses, this convenient expe-
dient becomes as impracticable as it is
undesirable. With instruction and q
very little practice, new method OF
dressing the hair may be quickly ac-
quired. To arrange the hair in up
standing bows, it is necessary to use
comb specially made for the purpose,

Clubbed as q Favor.

Djenal Eaendi, Mahometan in the
Midway Plaisance, was unceremoni-
ously arrested the other day by Chi
cago policeman, for beating q man
with a club. Djenal, however, gave
an explanation of his act that is inter-
esting, if not plausible. He said that
he is the priest of the little mosque on
the Plaisance. In that capacity it is
his duty, on the monthly "day of
penance," to chastise publicly any
coreligionist who asks him to do so.
Hassam Ali had made such request;
and he was simply giving the said Has
sam sound religious drubbing when
the police arrested him. New York

A tornado struck the town of Nor
gan, Ohio, June 19, 1883. At $50 p.
m. householder, whose account is
quoted, heard roaring as of heavy
thunder, which called him to the
door. On opening it he Immediately
discovered a bright cloud, which had
precisely the color of glowing oven,
apparently the size of half acre of
ground, moving rapidly in the direc-
ton of his dwelling. The brightness
of the cloud illuminated everything
about. There was no lightning nor
rain, but q continual and tremendous
roar during the passage of the storm.
The roaring of tornado had been
described as q combined woo-oo-oo
and whir-r-r-r.
Tornadoes seldom occur singly.
There are usually several of them in

toward the northeast. frequently
there are several lines, one following
another. In rare instances the same

whirling tunnels in quick succession.
It is supposed that this form OF
meteorological disturbance generates an
immense amount electricity. Some
of the things it does are such as, it
would seem, could only be accom-
plished by electrical action. To this
agency has been attributed the pluck
ing of chickens, which is a common
freak incidental to the passage of
cyclone. Fowls, without being hurt,
are often divested completely OF
their feathers, and roosters are pres
emily seen strutting about the stricken

through q hole in the bottom of a
bowl to revolve. Incidentally an
enormous energy is developed. The
balloon OF vapor goes sweeping along
with tremendous roar and an accom-
panying electrical display. It is
nothing more nor less than highly
exaggerated thunder storm. Thunder
storms are brought about in exactly
the same way, save that the cold
stratum above and the warm stratum
below are mingled more gradually,
producing less violent symptoms and
forming no whirling funnel.

June 10, 1885, caught man ona road
with a team and wagon carrying
hogshead of sugar. The hogshead and
contents weighed 1850 pounds 1t,
together with the horses and cart, was
hurled over stone wall. The man
was blown in the opposite direction g
distance of fifteen rods. Light objects
are sometimes transported n distance
of twenty miles. In one instance
horse was carried half q mile and put
down uninjured.
People who are struck by tornadoes
are commonly stripped entirely OF
their clothing, particularly women: In
one recorded instance the trimming
was taken off dress as neatly as If it
had been done by hand. Persons who
meet with such misfortune are aptto
be covered with mud, plentiful
quantities of which seem ordinarily to
be carried by the cyclone. The hair
of women is torn from their heads and

twisted into ropes sometimes. On one
occasion carpet, which had been
securely tackled to floor, was taken
up and carried out of the house with
out being torn. Such freaks as the
driving of piece of scantling seven
feet long and six inches square length
wise through the body of q hog are not
unusual. Attempts have been made
to refer the phenomena of tornadoes
to spots on the sun, but it is not likely
thaS any connection exists.

of kindling wood. People have &C.

Others have made the mistake of run

that anybody who has once encount-
cred "cyclone" is always more than
ready afterward to promptly "hunt
