Revolutions.

In few DAYS we will be celebrating
one of the great events of the American
Revolution-the anniversary of the day
when our forefathers formally issued to
the world their declaration that the
United States were. and ought TO be,
independent. 1t has become fashiona-
Bile now TO be patTiotic-iD reminiscenc-
es. at least-and so we have "Sons of
the American Revolution, and
daughter" of the same, who. to
their credit be it said, are doing much
to revive revere nee for the veterans OF
Valley Forge and Tren'on. But there
are revolutions and revolutions. The
French revolution terrified our Anglo
Saxon grandfatheTs, as though 1t bad
been some grim and grisly tiend from
hades. The German revolution OF
lS4s came to naughi. so far as setting
~ new form of government. The
Italian revolution, led by Garbaldi.
was grsndly successful. The revolu-
tions in the commercial and manuiac-
turing world in the past century, con-
sequent upon the steam-engine and the
myriad forms of labor-saving machinery
have produced as great changes as the
political revolutions mentioned. The
revolutions of the wheels If our great
railroad systemr are interchanging the
productions of all nations, and making
all people neighbors AMI aequaintances.
And nowhere are these revolutions
quicker, nowhere do these wheels roll
so smoothly, as on the many luxurious
trains of the Burlington Route, the
''main travelled road" between Mime
apolis and ST Pau, and Chicago and

tails, and as he grew stronger he began
TO look about for some means of escape.

house had used. no doubt. as shelter

The two men scrambled into the
cave. and Moses drew an old barrel in
after them TO stop its mouth The next
minute the soldiers followed them. and
the refugees thought their fate was
sealed. However, as it turned out, the
soldiers only meant 10 bivouac in the
house for the night, and in the morn

TO forage. promising to return before
night. when it would be safe for them
to make another venture toward the
federal lines

minutes he was in despair. Then be
rallied himself and waited for Moses.
How long the time wasl Would Moses
ever come. or was he fated TO die in
that hole?
He pulled away the bricks to clear
the entrance, but more rolled in.
Then he piled some of them under his
feet. and tried TO pull down the roof
His struggles were vain, and he threw
himself down, crying and praying by
turns.
How hong he had been there he had
no means Of telling He had eaten his

Then he heard rumhiing noise. The

CURIOUS STORM PHENOMENA
How Birds Are Stripped and Trees Rent to
Pieces.

How Birds Are Stripped and Trees Rent to
Pieces.
Among the most astonishing effects
of whirlwinds must be reckoned the
well-supported facts that, on their ces-
sation, birds exposed to them have
been found stripped of their feathers,
and people with every shred of cloth
ing torn from them. These effects
can not possibly be ascribed to the
wind. The force necessary would have
sufficed to transport the objects away
bodily.
Numerous similar occurrences were
observed in France in the tornadoes
which prevailed there three years ago,
and these were gradually brought I'M
der investigation. Over the whole re-
giOn affected, trees were found rent in
a manner which could not possibly
have resulted from the wind. These
were, first, oaks split down the CEN
ter for length of twenty to twenty
five feet; second, poplars and beeches,
for lengths of from six to twelve feet,
were shivered into sticks of uniform
thickness (for example, a beech tree,
sixteen inches diameter, was split into
more than five hundred sticks a cent?
meter thick, two centimeters broad
and three and one-half centimeters
long,; third, frs and other resinous
trees had their stems cut clean through.
leaving almost even surfaces.
These phenomena, and others of
kindred nature, can be ascribed only to
electricity. How else could we explain
the case Of two casks standing along
side each other, one of which, the
filed one, was completely destroyed
(exploded), while the, other, the empty
one, remained uninjured?-N. Y. Ad-
vertiser.
