Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 30.-A rain
increased in force last night until
shortly after midnight it became a
small cyclone. Scores of people In the
city spent the night after 12 in their
cellars praying that the fate Of st. Lou
is might not be in store for Harrisburg
Thousands more sat shuddering until
morning, waiting for the fury of the
wind and rain to abate.
At 12:40 ball of fire, to observers as
large as a September sun flashed out
into the blackness from the southwest
and hung for a full minute in the sky.
1t died away slowly, changing from
white to red and then fading like a
dying coal After this the worst was
over. Many buildings were damaged
by the storm and many trees were
blown down. The hurricane Ieered
frequently. On PETER street trees were
uprooted and blown down on one side
of the street, while those on the other
remaired untouched. 1t was the same
on many streets with windows one side
OF the thoroughfare escaping, while the
opposite houses would be classics.
Wires went down all over town. There
was hardly an avenue or a street that
was not filled with tree timbers and
wreckage.
In Capitol park big trees that had
weathered the winds for a half CEN
tury were bowled down like nine-pins.

San Frnncisco Has renmsn who writes
with Both Hands.

Gus Mooney, copyist in tho county
clerks office, is the handiest man with
pen in the new city hall, says the
San Francisco Post He performs all
sorts of feats that to the ordinary man
appear marvellous. He ie ambidextrous
and writes a most beautiful hand, some
times fine Spencerian and other times
a round back hand that is like copper
plate. Mooney copies the wills filed
into the record and usually writes the
page on the left side Of the open book
with his right hand and the next page
with his left, SO that he always has
a rest for his arm. When he tires OF
writing a running hand he turns the
book little and writes page after page
in his back hand style. Mooney can
take two pens, one in each hand, and
starting at common point can write
Two signatures simultaneously, writing
the one with his left hand backward,
and the signatures will be almost ex-
actly alike. He seems to do his think
ing with his wrist, too, for he will write
two entirely different names at the
same time and with dash and -four
ish that is surprising ana occasionally
he varies the mcnotony of his work by
copying two different wills on opposite
pages al the same time or by COM
mencing on the last letter of one will
and copying it backward with his left
hand while he copies another from the
beginning with his right.
Moorey is jig dancer and takes no
little pfide in his ability to indite copies
If the most complicated signatures in
the sand or sawdust on barroom floor
while dancing lively jig. A few days
ago, on small wager, he initiated the
signature of Henry Schesselman on the
floor of saloon while dancing a jig
blindfolded, and that by commencing
at tie very last letter and dancing 1t
backward.

Miss Nirh.ingaies Good Work.

The now venerable Miss Nightingale,
whose state of health did not permit
her acceptance of the invitation to be
present at the dinner to the Balaklava
veterans, has devoted much of her time
and energy for some years past to the
promotion of sanitation in North Bucks,
where she has been accustomed to
spend much of her later life. She has
been the life and soul Of movement
for bringing intelligence to bear on the
management of the home, and sanitary
matters generally, in a district where
such movement was greatly needed.
1t has been carried on by the technical
education committee of the Bucks coun-
ty council, but Miss Nightingale has
been the moving spirit, and very un-
ostentatiously has, in her declining
years, been continuing in this way the
practical benevolence which so en-
deared her to all English hearts in the
Crimean war.

BOY AND CIGARETTE.

He Cots BADLY Mixed Up with Barrel
Which Didn't Like Fire.
The venerable and familiar moral
tale of the bad little boy who offered
the circus elephant a chew Of tobacco
is far surpassed by the new and strict
ly truthful story of 11-year-old Harry
Manning Of Waltham, Mass, says Har-
per's Weekly. Harry had been learn
ing to smoke ciragettes and one after
noon about a fortnight ago ne was sit
ting on a barrel behind Northrup's
grocery practicing, when he heard foot
steps. Not caring to smoke in company
he dropped his lighted ciragette into
the bung-hole Of the barrel on which
he sat. The statement is that when the
moral elephant in the other story re-
ceived the chew of tobacco he seized
Tommy, the eyil-doer, by the coat COL
lar with the thumb and finger of his
trunk and threw him harshly out
through the roof of the circus tent. The
event in Harry's case was still more
precipitous and surprising. The barrel
he sat on contained naphtha and re-
jected the lighted cigarette with an in
Simultaneous burst of emotion which
sundered its hoops and gave Harry all
the symptoms experienced by the boy
who stood on the burning deck whence
all but he had fed. Happily Harry came
down in the same township in which
he went up, and was identified and is
still living with his parents, but an
other time he will drop his nose into
an empty barrel before he drops his
cigarette into it. The narrative of this
adventure is here cheerfully recorded
as a warning to boys who smoke cigar
cites and for use in schools.

HARNEsslNo THE TIDES.
rbcy Should 80 Made to Furnish Eioc-
tricity TO largo Cities.

/
The tides OF the North and East
rivers produce power enough to gener-
ate all the electricity to- light New
York and Brooklyn, to de- all the me-
chanical work in the factories and ma
chine shops and to run all the railroad
lines in the city and suburbs, says the
North American Review. This power
is wasted, as formerly all the power Of
Niagara was allowed to eXpend itself
in profitless way. All that is required
is to store this immense power and turn
it into profitable use. The problem
presented differs somewhat from that
of Niagara, The tides are periodic ant
not constant and the power would have
to be collected at the times Of its great
est exertion and stored for later use
The Niagara people have already pro
posed to run a line to New York to dc
what the tides of the Hudson and East
civers would accomplish right at home.
Either undertaking is a large one, re-
quiring the expenditure OF millions of
dollars. But the results would more
than justify the outlay. An mex
haustible supply of power from outside
would prove a blessing that could
hardly be appreciated to-day. The
present cumbersome delivery of coal to
factories and private houses would be
abolished, and clean, neat, pleasant
method substituted The plant could
be located at some convenient place in
the suburbs or along the river front,
where the city air would not be vitiated
and poisoned by coal gases, dust and
smoke. What applies to New York and
Brooklyn would apply to many other
cities. The tides Of the Delaware and
Chesapeake could be converted into in
exhaustible power to give the cities
along the coast a perfect and cheap
electric plant. The great inland rivers
are not SO constant in the summer sea-
along the Atlantic coast. The rush of
the waters through the narrow inlets
of our bays and rivers is so tremendous
that enormous machinery could be pro-
PEELED at cost representing a small
percentage on the capital in the plant.
The present outlook is that the Niagara
Falls Power company will in time run
an electric conduit to New York to sup
ply the motive and lighting power Of
the city and suburbs, unless, some en-
terprising body of capitalists under
takes to utilize the wasted power of the
tides nearer to home. A conduit cap
able of bringing 100000 to 200, 900 horse
power from Niagara would cost more
than four-track steam railway. The
investment of similar amount in col
lecting and storing the power of the
tides in the North and East rivers
ought to yield better results.
