TORNADOES.

There are people who make light
of others who prepare cyclone
caves and cellars for safety in
storms, but we are inclined TO think
such persons are only whistling to
keep up their courage. So far we
have never went into cyclone
cellar, but we would feel safer If we
had one. II is just as much mans
duty to protect himself against
storm as il is to build houses to
protect himself and family against
rain and snow. We think, though,
that the watching for storms and
the constant running into cellars is
inclined 10 make children and pc,
haps older people nervous. 1t is
the duty of man to protect his
wife and children against every
form of danger.-Cherokee Sentiuel.

WHAT TO DO IN A CYCLONE.

The following instructions for
use in time of a cyclone have been
sent out by the United States
weather bureau:
"Never wait until the tornado
cloud is almost upon you before
YOU move, and. remember, under no
circumstances move to the north.
east, the east or southeast. Retreat
instantly to your cellar and place
yourself, face forward, against the
west wall. This is the best position
in any cellar. If, for any reason,
you cannot get to the west wall,
take your position, face forward,
against the south wall as near the
southwest corner as possible. In
case the building is removed from
the foundation it will always be
carried above and over you, or, IT
torn to pieces, the debris will be
instantly removed to the eastward.
Under no circumstances, whether
in building or cellar, take
position in a northeast room or in a
northeast corner, in an east room
or against an east wall.
"If, unfortunately, you are close
pressed by the advancing cloud,
never remain standing, but throw
yourself prone upon the ground.
head to the east. and arms over the
head to protect it. If you should
chance to be near large tree or
stump, or some heavy low object
firmly imbedded in the ground,
take a position directly to the east
of 1t. lying prone upon the ground
head toward the object, protecting
the former with your folded arms.
This advice is given in the event OF
extreme necessity, where other and
better opportunities are unavaila-
ble or have been forfeited.
"Never take refuge in forest, in
a small grove of trees, in an
orchard, in a building, or near
fence of any kind. If you can get
out, never remain in house. If
forced to remain in a building with
out cellar, take your position
against the west wall, either prone
upon the floor or standing with
your back to the wall. Never stand
or lie in front of a door or window,
or near stove or heavy piece of
furniture"

II may be noticed that we use the
word tornado in describing the
peculiar storm recently. Upon
looking II up in Johnson's CYCLIC
pedia we find this is correct,
although we have all along sup
posed, with the majority Of people,
that the word cyclone was the
correct one. A cyclone is circular
storm extending over an area of
from 100 to 500 miles in diameter,
and generally occurs at sea, while a
tornado is a tremendous whirlwind
with narrow track like those that
wrought such great destruction in
Texas and Northeastern Kansas
few weeks ago. A tornado at sea
becomes a water spout. This is
authoritative, because we have
looked It up.-Buriington Republi-
