Quaaroon soldier OF France.

Very few people probably are aware
of the fact that General Dodds, The
commander-in-chief of the present
French expedition in Dahomey, is a
quadroon. He was born in 1912 in
Senegal, on the west coast of Africa.
His father was French merchant, his
mother mulatto. He is TALL of Slight
build, with q thin face. His mustache
and goatce are black and his close
cropped hair is curly and i'm appear
ance like that Of negro. His skin is
very dark, and his face is tanned from
years of exposure in Africa. He is
man Of tried courage and energy. and
has received the commission OF briga-
dier general in the French army Ac-
cording to the n. Y. sun, he is just
the man needed to command the
African troops of France in SENEGAL
and her other southern possessions and
to make war against negro poteulates.
General Dodds graduated from the
national military school ia 1864 with
the rank Of second lieutenant of naval
infantry. He was made first lieutenant
i'm 1867, captain in 1869, major in 1879.
lieutenant colonel i'm 1888, and colonel
in 1897. His entire active service,
with the eNcept.n two years ON the

That sensible Young Woman.

A wealthy gentleman farmer from
the northern part of New York who
had brought several horses to the re-
cent horse show was Truch struck bv a
beautiful, earneSt-looAlng girl in one
of the boxes who seemed quite ab-
sorbed in the scene before her, and
WAS making continually penciled
notes in the catalogue which lay open
upon her lap. "A fine, sensible wom-
an that, he said 10 himself, and hand
some. too; am thankful 10 see one
woman, at least, who paws some at
tention TO the horses and does not give
all her mind 10 the absurd chatter
about her" He was greatly pleased
to see an intimate friend of his visit
ing in her box, and through him lie
obtained an introduction To the lady.
She received him graciously, and, aft
er a few words about the horses then
in the ring, he picked up her cata-
logue, which lay on the seat beside
her, and rather unfairly took advant-

According to documents which have

Cause Of Tornadoes.

From the Calf of Mexico to the North
Pole and from the lakes to the Rocky
Mountains is a vast extent Of country
crossed by no mountain chains TO inter
cept or retard the velocity Of aiEeurrents.
The extent Of this country is equaled by
none on earth. Cold air being heavier
20 the square inch than warm air, the
cold air, when coming in contact with
warm current from tho south, always pre-
dominates, forcing the warm air into the
upper currents
The cause Of cyclones Is the meeting Of
a headwlnd from the north with head
wind from the south They meet ike two
vast armies Of men. The pressure al the
point Of meeting is so great that the air,
BY compression, becomes heavies to the
square inch than wood or the human
body, hence either one will float in the
same manner that wood will float in wa
ter-it floats because it is lighter to the
square inch than water. Place water in
an ordinary wash bowl ard remove the
plug and it viii be observed that in pass
ing ont the water forms a circular reae-
ton. Air being a liquid does the same
in passing either upwards or downwards;
nence the funnelshaped spout Of the ey-
clone centre. When two immense bod
les Of air coming from opposite direct
tons meet, the only egress is upwards
and sideways, and in passing upwards it
forms the funnel the same as water pass
ing out of a washboWl downwards. The
theory that a cyclone forms a vacuum Is
absurd. Withdraw air from a glass jar
with an air pump. and feather within
the vacuum formed will drop with the
same velccity as lead, or, on the other
hand, you can compress air until it is
heavier 10 tie square inch than wood, in
which case wood will float in the air.
The lifting power of cyclone is caused
.ll by the compression or density of the
air, and . by its velocity. Combining
the power OF density with that of veloci-
ty, which occurs at the centre or funnel,
no power can resist il. The feeling Of
sudoca,i0n or difficulty in breathing
when near the track of a cyclone is caus-
ed from the compression of air.-N1iae-

70 him and warn him Of his danger, but
fright had deprived her Of speech.
It was an awful moment
Suddenly she darted forward, seized
him by the arm and after leading him
back some distance told him what was
the matter.
He rushed back to the spot where she
had seen the snake, and there it lay max
ing pile larger than half bushel. He
struck it several times with rocks, but
did not succeed in killing it, so he sent to
the house after a gun and shot the mon

This snake was in q dim tail near a
very heavy siubble and Is the fourth one
thar has been killed near that spot.

SCOT as a Disinfectant.


In view Of the possible advent Of chol-
era in this country, many cheap and sim
pie disinfectaHts have been proposed for
the use Of the people. OF these, one Of
the most effective is common SCOT. SCOT
is composed Of pure carbon, and Is
forced by the hot vapOr of the hydro
carbon coming from burning fuel st-ik-
ing the cold walls Of the chimney or
stovepipe and eondensing thereon. Ii IS
a very light, porous and impalpable pow
der, and, like charcoal, which is the same
element in a different form, possesses The
property Of absorbing and retaining a
wonderfully large amount of gas.
The great danger Of disease about sew
ers, drains and other places is almost en-
tirely due to gss given of by decompos-
ing mattel. If SCOT be sprinkled about
these places il viii absorb the foul gas.
When cholera was expected in Balti-
more, some six.een years ago. DR.. Piggot,
! celebrated chemist of the time, an
ncunced that the only disinfsctant with
which cholera could be at all effectively
combatied was eOperas or sulphate Of
iron, and ne made a composition Of char
coal and eoper4s which was said to have
been invaluable in its disinfecting prop
critics The general idea in disinfecting
Is, first, 70 provide means for absorbing
the dea,h-dealing gas, carrying with it
millions Of diseased germs, and then to
have the necessary agent 10 destroy the
germs after they are absorbed.
Charcoal has aiway been regarded as
an excellent dis:nfeciant, but as a matter
Of fact, SCOT is superior 70 it from contain
ing some Of the unoxidized hydro-car-
bons contained in the smoke from the
fuel, and, among these hydrocarbons IS
