The forestry of the United
States form the subject Of a circular re-
Gently issued by the department of ag-
riculture. 1t appears from this circu-
lar that, in spite of the enormous con-
sumption of lumber. the vast extent
to which wood is used as fuel, and the
startling annual destruction by forest
fires, the forest area of United States,
exclusive of Alaska, is over SOC, 600 900
acres. This area is very unevenly dis
tributed; seven-tenths are found on the
Atlantic side of the continent, only
one-tenth on the Pacific coast, another
tenth on the Rocky mountains, the bal
ance being scattered over the interior
of the western states. The prairie
states, with an area in round numbers
OF 100000 square miles, contain hardly
4 per cent of forest growth, and the
100000 square miles-more than one
third of the whole country-of arid or
semi-arid character in the interior con-
tain practically no forest growth, eco
nomically speaking.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, May ia dead
ley tornado swept through Northeast

teen deaths and the INJURY of a score
Of people and doing many thousands
of dollars damage in various towns

mined, formed near M%iltonvale and
swept in a we'll defined no%rtheasterly
direction through the prosperous
towns of Bigelow, Frankfort, Bailey
Vile, Seneca, Oneida, Sabetha and Re-
serve in Kansas and Falls City and
Preston in Nebraska.
AT Bigelow the west part of the
town was wrecked and several people
We're hurt, but no one was killed so
far as known.

homeless. No u was killed, but
eight persons were badly hurt.

TORNADO.
Clay, Riley, Marshall and Nemaha cou

Clay, Riley, Marshall and Nemaha Coun-
ties Storm Swept Much Damage.
~CoNcoRDIA, Kan, May ia tor
nado started near Palmer, in the
northern part of Clay county, yester-
day afternoon, and traversed Riley
into Marshall, crossing the Blue river
at the Missouri Pacific and Union Pa
ciic junction, not far from Axteil.
Bodaville, q Riley county hamlet,
was swept out of existence. Fatali-
Ties are reported from Spring Valley,
but nothing definite can be learned.
Six miles south of Barnes a church in
which $50 persons were cengre gated,
was blown down, the Rev. Mason
sustaining a leg fracture. Near Blue
Rapids, in Marshall county, several
houses were demolished, including
chat of William Stetler, which suf-
fered similarly seventeen years ago.
The wires are down and particulars
not ascertainable, but it seems that
the storm followed in the path of its
predecessor just referred to. The
tornado passed over into Nemaha
county and did damage about Bailey
vile. It was followed along its whole
course by heavy rains and hail which
injured fruit.

Nearly Every Building Destroyed.
HrAwATHA, Kan, May .3.-The tor
nado struck Reserve and vicinity last
and destroyed nearly every building
on the townsite. If hundreds of men
with axes had hacked away at the
houses and stores they could not have
done SO much damage. Four people
We're killed and many injured.
BY the glare of the lightning many
people saw an umbrella-like cloud,
which came whirling and roaring
from the southwest. It cut great
trees off at the base and plucked them
out of the ground by the roots. 1t
durted toward the north and came
back by the northwest. All who saw
it fled to caves and cellars. Then fol-
lowed the crash Of falling timbers and
the cries Of the hurt AMID the roar of
the wind.
When the storm had passed and peo-
pie dared to venture out, it was found
that the following had been killed:
d. w. Terhune, aged 90.
Ralph Sweeney, 9years old.
Mrs. John Rynder.

William Mellison, father Of Mrs.
Duerson; Mrs. Terhune and daughter,

The trunk mystery that was disturb
ing the people of Chicago a mouth ago
has now been partly solved. The body
was found to be that of Oliver Pike,
formerly of S~teilacomm, Washington.
He had been one of the wardens in the
insane asylum there, and had been
murdered. His body was shipped from
that place to Salt Lake, and then to Chi
cago. 1t is believed that his murder
ers or murderer will soon be in custody.
His is not the only mysterious death
occurring at the asylum. Four others
have died in the last four years, most
of them from poison, which was after
wards found in their stomachs.

Killed but Twelve Persons Injured.
FRANKFORT, Kan, May ia tor
nado formed in a valley near Milton.
vale yesterday afternoon and swept
northwest through a fine farming
section, doing great damage but aus
ing no deaths. Then it struck the
town of Bigelow, where several houses
were wrecked, but no one was seri-
ously injured.
The storm swept on through the
country intervening, destroying sew
eral fine farm houses and leveling
barns and orchards.
At $3.50 o'clock the funnel shaped
cloud was plainly seen approaching
this place after a heavy raln and hail
storm. It moved slowly and did not
strike the residence section until
nearly everyone had had time to reach
cellars and caves. For this reason no
one was killed, and the injured were
only: Harry Kennedy, a furniture
dealer, nose broken and badly bruised;
Captain S. B. Tobb, scalp wounds,
Mrs. Arthur, colored, and two chill
dren, p. p. Cudmore and son, Mrs. Fl.

contents were ruined.
About 200 people are homeless, but
the city is taking good care of all. A

Not only to electricians in all parts
Of the world but to Americans of all
trades and caiings the opening of the
new Industrial Arts Building in New
York City is an event of memorable in
terest. To Nikola Tesla it is a triumph.
His wonderful genius is demonstrated
in the turning on of a current of cleo
tricity transmitted to the building
from Niagara Falls on an ordinary
telegraph wire by the two phase >ys-
tenn invented by him and bearing his
name. The line of conduit is more than
four times the length of the greatest
distance over which similar transmits
sion has been previously effected. To
heighten the Importance of the demon
stration the power thus harnessed
drives in the new building a model Of
the Niagara power plant, while a sys-
tenn Of telephones ranged around this
enables the listener to hear distinctly
the roar of the cataract from the famous
Cave of the Winds. The event marks
the highest point yet reached in the
wonderful development of the electri,
era. Tesla's victories are as renowned
as Edison's. Both inventors hay,
shown that reality is more amazin,
than romance and that the key of cleo
tricity will unlock the secret, store
house Of natures mysteries. Til,
strength Of Niagara goes to. New Yorl
over a telegraph wire. The deep melod,
OF her thousand voices, mingled will
the tones Of the wind god, goes ther
by telephone. It only remains for Tesl
to find Roreas and Notus with his cleo
trio chains and to lead them out of til
cave for the service Of the nations.
