that he was standing in front of his

later the whirlwind made its appear

were several shocks of cOrnfOdder. one
of which it took up and carried off.
1t next struck the orchard, and pro-
ceeding down a row of trees stripped
off seventy-five bushels of apples, and
then tearing down several feet of
worm fence started through the barn
yard in which was a flock of 25 geese.
four of which were caught up by the
spiral motion of the wind.
As the fowls were carried upward by
the rotary current they made frantic
efforts to escape from it, but were
firmly held in its grasp until they
were apparently one mile in height.
The whirlwind appeared 20 be about
ten feet in diameter, and moved at a
rate of about twenty-one miles an
nour. A short distance beyond Mr..
Stout's it struck hole of water con-
tanning several hogsheads, which it
sucked completely dry, the water ap-
plrently turning to vapor and disap-
pearing after it had been carried up,

exploring in the Greenland scientific
expedition. Messrs. Dibitch, Sails

who were on board, surveyed many
miles of unknown coasts. They also
discovered two large meteOrites
which they brought home and another
weighing forty tons, which it was i'm
possible, to take away. They also
found it impossible to bring home
Peary's house. Many specimens of
deer, walrus and northern animals and
birds, flowers and lichens were Sc
cured, but the captures were not as
extensive as had been expected owing
to the time for exploring being cut
