scALDING WATER FOR ROBBERS.
Novel scheme of Kansas Men to
Checkmate Train Bandits.

From the Chicago Times-Herald
. Washington, June 20-The numerous
train robberles in the west have induced
many inventors to devise schemes for pre-
venting the robberies A patent was
granted to-day to James F. Matthews and
Henry L. Sherburne Of Topeka, Kan, on
a scheme for drenching train robbers with
scalding water. The invention consists Of
a number of metal nozzles for throwing
jets of scalding water. From the boiler Of
the locomotive tie inventors intend to run
pipes passing around the engine, ending
in nozzles at the end Of the cap These
nozzles are so arranged that when high
waymen try TO hold up an engineer all he
win have to do is to turn on the hot
water. Then, in the twinkling of an eye
streams of the boiling liquid will be
thrown out in every direction from the
cab, while steel shield guard, before in
visible, will rise quickly and shut off all
entrance of robbers or bullets to the cab
or tender. Thus protected the engineer
may throw his throttle wide open and
leave the scalded and chagrined robbers
far behind.

TORNADOES AND CYCLONES.
Terms That Are Confounded by the
 American People.

That the popular idea of storms is incorrect is shown by the following from the Kansas City Journal:
 The Journals attention has been called to the fact that the press re- ports of the tornado at Elkhorn, Neb, the other day, gave the course of the storm as from south to northwest, whereas The Journal had but day or two previously said that the course of such storms was invariably in an east erly or northeasterly direction.
 The report as to the direction taken by the Elkhorn storm was erroneous After passing the vicinity of that town it proceeded toward Bennington, which is directly northeast. The storm was seen at that place but it passed south of the town.
 The record of nearly two thousand of these destructive storms, which has been carefully gathered by the weather bureau of the United States government, shows that in every in stance the course has been as de- scribed by The Journal. It is also a we'll known fact that in the southern hemisphere the direction taken by tor nadoes is from northwest to southeast, and that whereas the whirl there is al-
Arizona republican., 1896-06-05

ways "clockwise," or in the direction of the hands of a clock or watch, it is the contrary here.
 As to the name of this peculiar storm there is no warrant whatever beyond that of erroneous local usage in calling it cyclone" A cyclone is an atmospheric disturbance covering diameter of two hundred miles or more, during which the air has cir cular movement which affects the en- tire territory included in it's dimen- sions at the same time, and its infiu- ence extends but about two miles above the earth, while the tornado is whirl- ing current but few hundred feet in diameter and several miles in height. The velocity of the whirling wind in the tornado is supposed to be equal to an atmospheric pressure of 200 pounds to a square foot. At any one point affected cyclone is merely strong gale of wind in a direct course.
 It will be readily seen that there is no similarity in the two storms, and the persistence with which newspaper writers encourage the common misun- derstanding of the facts is anything but creditable to their intelligence.

HAS TWENTY Y'.' HUSBANDS.
How Clever English Woman Swindled
 Well-to-Do Bachelors.

How a Clever English Woman Swindled
 Well-to-Do Bachelors.
 The cleverest marriage swindle of modern times was perhaps Miss Evelyn Leal, areally distinguished-lookingE Eng llshwoman. She has been married and given in marriage at least 20 times dur ing the last three years. while she has been atiianced as many times more dur ing the same period, and in every case has succeeded in obtaining handsome presents of jewelry, which she has i'm mediatcly sold for what they would fetch. Her system, says Lippincott's, was to write to some rich bachelor mer- chant in the provinces, offering to in- troduce him to the widow of an English nobleman with view to matrimony.
 Strange as it may seem, many of the provincial merchants took the bait, went to Paris, were, introduced to the widow of the English noblcman," all lowed to escort her to the theater, make her presents of flowers the first day, gloves tEe second, while on the third. if the ardent would-bc husband had not suggested it. she would quietly choose a wedding rirg, with handsome keeper, accompanied by diamond necklace, brooch, and earrings, all these to con- stitute her wedding present. Then she would disappear with her jewels, change her clothes and name, and start the same game with another victim the following day. She would sometimes have two proposals of marriage on hand at the same time; she always calculated upon the fra;lty of human nature and the great dislike the victims would have to being rublically exposed to ridicule for having so simply been taken iii with the promises of the fair EEglishwoman. Now she is being boarded ard clothed at the expense of the French state, which, upon the recommendation of the aus tere magistrate, has engaged to take en- tire charge of her for the next IS months.

FROG AND TOAD JONAHS,
Yarns Accepted Not Without Doubt by
 Amateur Naturalists.

Amateur Naturalists.
 Most persons when they hear a natur- alist tell about peculiar doings by birds. animals, or reptiles grin and ask about big fish. One tale, which no one but naturalists seems to believe, was told in the Forest and Stream recently by Allen Chamberlain. He says he heard a cry down in Florida such as distressed frog makes and found that blacksnake was swallowing a frog. When the frog was out of sight the snake was shot through the head and the frog was liberated. At first it was stupefed, but was soon as lively as ever Within 20 years the same paper has recorded at least score of just such instances, reported by as many indi- viduals, who gave their real names and addresses. and who declared they had seen the stupefied toad or frog come to as from trance, hop about as if dazed, and at last go away as lively as ever.
 s. D. Kendall, in the Forest and Stream for June, 1892, told about a mother quail which in trying to protect her young got within reach of rattle snake. The snake was killed in the act of swallowing the bird. When re- leased the bird was for some time stu pefed, but after awhile recovered enough to stagger off. On the next day she was all right and caring for her chicks.

BAD FOR THE NERVES.
Life in Sky Scrapers Responsible for .
 Peculiar Disease.

Peculiar Disease.
 A nervous condition, bordering on prostration, to which the doctors have not as yet given name, has lately been observed to affect persons who work many hours a day high up in the mod ern sky scrapers. The ailment, says the New York Journal, resembles nervous prostration, except in the principal symptom, which is a condition of in tense restlessness, and, as one of the victims to the new complaint expressed it, "a singular desire to scream or to get down to the earth quickly
 A sensation of relief is noticeable when the patient is taken to grass, so to speak, which leads some physicians to the belief that the change in the rarity of the air, slight as it is, has a peculiar effect upon certain very sensi- tive organizations. Others think that the constant trips in the elevators cause slight disarrangenent of the nerve centers, which brings on the condition referred to. In any case there is no doubt that new ailment has come among us with the advent of the sky scraper.

Gave Two Dollars to Be Accused or
 Bicycle Stealing.
 A rather clever trick was played on d bank clerk the other day in Paris. A cyclist accosted him outside a store and begged him to look after his bi- cycle while he went in to buy some thing. The clerk consented, and the stranger was about to go in when he hesitated and said that as the other was Q stranger to him he thought it would be well if he gave him ten francs as a guarantee of his honesty. The unsuspecting clerk handed him tn } sum at once, and the stranger, after promising to stand him drink when he returned, left him. After the clerk had waited about half an hour another cyclist came up, and, seizirg him by the throat, called him q thief. Both were arrested, and at the station it was learned that the second cyciist was the real owner of the machine. which had been stolen from him few moments before it had been intrusted to the clerk.

Sonora's Agricultural Ants.

The 'agricultural ants" of Sonora, Mexico, are said to plant fields of grain and regularly harvest their crops, upon which they depend wholly for food. In fact, should the crops fail, they would perish of famine. On the other hand, the cereals that they grow have been specialized by cultivation, like the wheat and other grains of the human husband man. and, it is stated, quickly disappear if the insects neglected to attend to them.

Then, as if suddenly yrccollecting herself: ''Oh, he's quite well, I'm sure. remember seeing in the morning paper that he presided at some meeting or other last evening""
