IL has marched around the world. Czar Nicholas of all the Russias has been photographed with his wheel. and grouped with him were Prince George of Greece and Prince Charles of Den mark. This latter Prince Charles not so very long ago taught his fance Princess Harry" of Wales. to ride.
 Wilhelm of Germany alone is fearful of risking his imperial dignity by learn ing to ride. His sisters father-in-law the king of Greece, and also the l5ino of Belgium are cyclists. Another is Milan the dethroned ruler of Servia. Both lines of French pretenders have entbp- siastic riders. The duchess of Aosta B kinswoman of Prince Napoleon. has mildly scandalized her sedate brother 1n-law, King Humbert, by 'sscorchine'' through the streets of Turin in an aiarmingly emancipated costume.
 The history of the wheel as a social factor shows indeed a reversal of the usual order of things-the smart set, in every metropolis has taken to bi- cycling only after the masses had adopted the sport. In our own coun- try 1t has been only two or three sea sons since society at Newport dared risk the frowns of conventional society in town by adopting the wheel as fa- vorite form of athletics.
 In France and Germany and in Spain friendly greetings everywhere follow the appearance of the "L. X. w." badge.
 Even in Turkey, where the sultan pleasantly alluded to the bicycle as the devils own chariot" few years ago, there are now thousand wheelmen. In Egypt and Africa, Denmark, Chili and where-not, the wheel is victor. Japan has become so ambitious that she is now manufacturing her own wheels-clum- sy and eumbrous affairs they are said to be.
 Of clubs there is no end. The League of American Wheelmen has on it's rolls 4o,0oo members, including 1 ,5OO women. Its headquarters are in Boston and it has branches in every state and terri tory in the union. practically makes and administers the laws for the racing element of the entire world.

l Picfure-Inap showing storm area with St Louis lu the southeast quadrant where tornadoes invariably form The current of air indicated as moving northward from the south is warm, comparatively light, and close to the earth's surface. It's northward movement is due to partial vacuum in the storm area as shown by light barometric pressure. The current from the north is cold, heavy and higher than the warm southerly one, Tomatoes are developed built. The rotary velocity of tornadoes is extremely high, sometimes reaching the almost unthinkable rate of 900 miles an hour. At such velocity everything in front of the vortex must give way, and only a mountain chain could with stand it's force.

 Possibly such a structure as you mention might be used as shield to de- fleet the currents upward and cause the tornado to form at safe distance above our heads. But such fence would have to be several hundred feet high and it's cost would be enormous. It would need to be erected to the south and southeast of the town whose protection was sought, though if it were intended to stop tornado already formed, the wall should be built to the westward The movement of tornadoes is always from the west, but the air currents, whose collision causes tornadoes, move from the north and from the south"
 To make his meaning clear Mr. Dunn drew diagram, which is here repre- duced, and explained it about as fol- lows:
 "There are few simple physical laws that have to do with heat, specific gravity and their effect upon fluids that should be understood by any who are thinking hard upon a method of controlling tornadoes," said MT. Dunn. "Fhese laws work quite as we'll and as invariably in the open air as in the laboratory. If we were to put some oil in bottle and then put in large quan tity of some heavier liquid on top of the oil the latter would make its way through the other liquid and exchange places with it. The ease with which this would be accomplished would de- pend upon the relative densities of the two liquids. The greater the differ ence the greater the disturbance would be. The lighter liquid could not ascend in a straight line, and the friction be- tween the particles would give whirl ing motion to the ascending bubbles. Now, this is precisely what happens when hot, and consequently light, layer of air finds itself underneath cold and heavier one. The work of the light layer getting above, or mixing with, the heavier one produces the whirling storm which we call a tornado.

 After deeply studying the problem the artist concluded that he would simply turn the model out of doors, where he might eat other peoples lions if he had an uncomfortable appetite that way. So he was carefully dropped on a coping of a window that overlooked Fifth avenue.
 Fifth avenue in broad daylight is a fearfully live place, ever for a mouse that has been accustomed to dining at nights on cardboard lions But the models heart was made Of pretty stern stuff, and, after surveying the country on all sides, he suddenly shot towards the curb and started down the avenue in fine style.

that the horse could not turn back. He was trapped. Above the 20-foot break in the trail was a sharp crag of overhanging rock. On his saddle bow was strong riata 60 feet long, and Henry is an expert in the use of it. He steadied himself upon the saddle, swung the rope over his head, and hurled it high in the air. It settled firmly over the crag He tried it careful ly. It was firm. His saddle was a new and strong one, with double cinches. Around the horn he wound the rope. He urged the horse on to the edge of the precipice. The faithful beast stood frm He would not step over, but the rider drew up the slack and pulled with all his power. Inch by inch he drew the straining horse forward till his feet slipped and he swung over the chasm. The rider held his breath as he looked at the river below and the slender rope above, but he was across the gap. He sprang up the trail and tugged at the reins to aid the horse in gaining his feet. He pulled, and the horse lunged up into the trail with the chasm back behind.-Anaconda Standard.

EcePYRIoHT, 1896 ]

The vivaeious little model is dead now. In way it brought it's fate on itself. For months it had been teasing the artist. A fine lion would perhaps be left on the drawing board. Next morning no one could have told whether it was lion or an ostrich. Graycoat, the inquisitive, had held high carnival on the monarch of the forest. He had probably heard somewhere that a lion is afraid of a mouse, and as the lion on the drawing board kept very still,

"After You. Gentlemen"

The French at Fontenoy, sheltered by the ridge, could scarcely believe their eyes at the sight of the English gunners slowing round their pieces to cover them. When they at length realized that it was one of the enemy's, and not one of their own batteries, the officers of the Gardes Francias rushed to the head of their men, shouting to them to deploy and charge the cannon. Almost at the same moment the grenadiers cleared the hilltop and began to de- scend upon them. It was then that there occurred that wonderful meeting which has charmed so many genera tions of readers. Everyone knows the description of the scene for which Vol taire was indebted to Argenson. How the French officers, in their blue and silver coats and their long, searletvests and stockings, waited the approach of the grenadiers, hat in hand; how the redcoats doffed their marvellous shield Eronted caps, while Lord Charles Hay bowed to the opposing line, with the words: "Gentlemen of the French guard, please to fire frst!" to which Comte d'Anteroche replied: Gentle men, we never fire first; fire first your selves!" Such was battle of the grand age as pictured by the aristocrsst who saw the universe reflected in the mirrors of the Oeil de Boeuf; but in the Lothian papers there is yellow letter, written by Hay in hospital after the action which gives a ruder, and, it is to be feared, more natural version, of the story.-Temple Bar.

when two such layers of air change l places. Mr. Dunn says protection wall to be really effective would have to be placed where 1t would prevent the formation of | the twisting funnel-that Is to the south- east of the locality to be nrotected-as in- | dicated in the picture map at A. If the wall 1 were to be built to stop tornadoes after | formation and St. Louis the place sought to be protected, the structure should be to l the west of the city In location marked B. 1 turbance. Sometimes there are fierce disturbances between warm and cold layers, of which we on the surface of the earth know nothing and from which we do not suffer. That is because the rising warm current is too high. It is only when the disturbances sweep over the very surface of the ground that they concern us.
 ''In the eastern part of the United States nearly all tornado phenomena are high above us, and this is due to the great system of mountain ranges known as the Alleghenies, which de- fleet the currents upward and force them to fight out their difference in the upper atmosphere"
 The next question had to do with the failure of the weather bureau to pre- dict tornadoes "If their causes and nature are so well understood,' it was urged, Cit surely ought to be possible to give some sort of warning of their ap- proach."
 ''Tornadoes cannot be predicted" was the reply, ''because the dangerous cold current is so often far above the reach of meteorological stations. If a warning against tornadoes were to be sent out upon the formation of every area of low barometer, there would be constant worry and alarm among the people, and, in nine cases out of ten this alarm would not be justified by the facts"
 The next question was prompted by a recently printed assumption that torna- does are nowadays more frequent and more severe than formerly. It was grayely suggested that by some mys- terious natural law of compensation, the tornado has lately become more de- structive to offset mans increasing knowledge of and power over disease in other words that in the modern tor nado the famous law of population as laid down by Malthus is being exem- plified
 "Tornadoes are not of more frequent occurrence now than formerly" was Mr. Dunn's reply "They are not of modern origin, but quite as old as the atmosphere itself. The increase of pop ulation, however, naturally increases their danger, while telegraphlc and other news facilities bring them more than ever to the worlds notice. Some seem to believe them due in measure to electrical agencies, but this is not so. Their electrical accompaniments are results and are not causes
