dollars, and while the poachers cannot
resist the consequent temptation. the
park is so extensive that no effectual pro-

from which, as their numb ers increased,
they could be distributed throughout The

In Australia they have whale cure
for rheumatism which is said to be effec-
tive, though disagreeable. It was dis
covered by a drunken man, who was
staggering along the beach near the
whaling station at Twofold Bay, and
who, seeing a dead whale cut open, took
a header into the decomposing blubber.
1T took two hours for him to work his
way out, but he was then not only sober,
but cured Of his rheumatism. Now a
hotel has been built in the neighboring

TOUCHING what are called "the ameni-
ties OF war;" Archibald Forbes remarks
in his recent book that much that is
said upon the subject is mere humbug.
The object OF military operations, he
points out, is to deal as hard blows
against the opposing as possible, and
then to cause SO much suffering to the
inhabitants of country that they will
long for peace. "War is hell" Sher-
man once declared; and Sheridan said:
Nothing should be left to the people
but eyes to lament"

AMERICAN candy is proving very sue
cessful in England, where the confec-
toner's art is at low stage. An Amer
lean teaveler reports that ian English
candy store, called a 'sweetmeat shop,
is a tirrible sight; everything looks
sticky, nasty, and largely colored with
obviously unhealthy substances. Also,
there seems to be little if any attempt to
keep these 'sweetmeats' fresh, and the
prices at which they are sold-2O cents
a pound-almost precludes their being

Tornadoes, Cyclones and Vacuum
Storms
NATURE OF TORNADOEs.
From the Rnltimore Sun.

AAbih tht ouAthAoiC ouhs
The tornado which on Wednesday swept
over St, Louis, destroying hundred of lives
and millions of property, exhibited all the
characteristics of the typical tornado as de-
scribed by meteorologists The time of its
occurrence was about 5 p M, which is
the normal period, and there were the
usual concomitants of intense heat, fol-
lowed by swiftly gathering clouds, wind
increasing in force till speed of eighty
miles an houy was attained, and then ii
deluge of rain, with hail and lightning.
Dispatches report two storms, but they
were doubtless only different phases of the
same whirlwind Moving northeastwardly
the revolving mass of air seemed at its first
approach to be fearfully violent wind
moving nearly from north to south. Then
there was lull, while the centre was
passing, after which the tornado manifest
ed itself again as a violent wind in the op-
posite direction. The origin of the tor
nado was in vast cyclone which had for
several days been moving slowly across the
country from Arizona and New Mexico
toward the Great Lakes. Its centre had
already passed St. Louis, when, in its
southern quadrant, meeting of cold winds
from the northwest with warm, moist
winds from the southeast developed the
violent movement which ST. Louis had
found so destructive The tornado was
minor whirl generated in connection with
tho araot ,rhi,l of tho cyclona
The pressure in the centre of the tor
nado is smalf-tending to vacuum-so
that when it passes over house it often
happens that the walls and roof are thrown
outward, the wreck presenting the appear
ance of an explosion due to the sudden ex-
pansion of the air within. The velocity Of
rotation in the gyrating mass of air is often
very extraordinary. 1t is sufficient at
times to snap oaks Z feet in giFth like rceds
and carry fragments Of buildings six and
eight miles. Most tornadoes in the United
States move toward the northeast, and
their onward progress varies from II to go
miles an hour, the average being 80. The

width of the path of destruction marked by
debris varies from 40 to 10, 900 feet, the
average being about 800 yards. The direc-
tion of the whirling moyement--which does
most of the damages invariably from
right to left, nF ina direction opposite to

point Of development the air is warm and
humid, There Is a rapid variation of tenn
perstare vertically, and an unstable equili-
brium. In movements for the restoration
ofequilibrium currents are generated which
pass spirally inward and upward about
centre, These currents may be of little
force, or If conditions fayor they may ae-
qulre strength as they proceed and become
powerful and vastly destructive.

was swept bya tornado with terrible effect
There were four great spouts pointing to-
wards the earth, and moving along in a
swiftly revolving course in path mile
and a-half wide The town, which con-
tanned 3, 600 inhabitants, was wrecked.
1S95-August A tornado swept up
the Delaware between three and four
o clock in the afternoon, passing through
the 'Neck' of Philadelphia, crossing the
Delaware and sweeping through Camden,
and then recrossing to the upper portion
of the city. The destruction of property
was considerable, especially in Camden,
and seven lives were lost.
1SSS-February ia tornado struck
Mt. Vernon, H., destroying 300 buildings,
burying many persons under falling walls
and involving loss of thirty-seven lives.

Original Poetry
MAY, 1896.


Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY o. c. sHIPLEY.
The apple blossoms thickly snow
Adown the gusty hills of May;
The glaGsome waters brighter dow,
As tow'rd the sea they sweep away.
wealth of beauty meets the eye
On every side the liye-long day;
The mocking-bird from perch so high
Calls out Awake again it's May.
The soul of Beauty haunts the fields,
And marks its impress on the wood;
Nature in lavish offering yields
Her choicest gifts in joyous mood.
The skies of peace bend gently down,
To kiss the fields of deepest green;
The earth puts on her wedding gown
And trails it through the festive scene.
A mellow splendor softly falls
On budding trees mid glisfning dcws:
From out the brake the catbird calls
And myriad flowers their scents diffnse.
The morn is rife with joyous sounds,
ofbird and bee and waterfall.
As DER the shelving rocks 1t bounds,
Impatient of old oceans call.
love the woods the beauteous woods,
These brightest days of sunny May;
Sunlight in glory o'er it floods
olrapture ofa perfect day.
Farewell o, sunny days-farewelll
Ye go; and I shall see no more
Nays glorious sheen, nor feel itsspell.
I'm drifting to the unknown shore.
Il know the solemn monotone
ofwaters calling unto me;
know from whence the airs have blown
That whisper of the Eternal Sea-
'Tis time that vain regrets should cease,
With all of discord and of strife;
o, may the soft white moon of Peace
Rise DER my waning, care-worn life.

The tornado is to be distinguished from
the cyclone out of which it is often devel-
oped The largest tornadoes are decidedly
smaller than the smallest cyclone The
two have many points OF difference Cy-
clones occur at all hours Of the day and
night and often cover vast areas of sea and
land, while the tornado is confined within
narrow limits. Much the larger number
occur between 2 p. m. and p. M, the
maximum being about p m. Cyclones
and tornadoes also differ widely in origin.
Cyclones result from difference of density,
due to temperature and humidity of the
atmosphere in strata at the same height,
while tornadoes occur where the air is for
time unusually warm and moist, the
temperature and humidity diminishing up
ward at an abnormally rapid rate. The
tornado has its origin in vertical distur-
bance, while the cyclone is due to the
movement horizontally of air from areas of
high pressure to areas of low pressure.
The tornado is specially frequent in the
United States 1t does not develop, Lieu

usually several hundred miles to the south
east Of such centre. In the United States
tornadoes are by far the most frequent in
the valleys of the lower Missouri and the
upper Mississippi rivers, owing to the meet
ing there OF currents of cold air from the
north and warm, moist air from the Gulf
of Mexico. A tornado map, prepared By
Lieutenant Finley, indicates the regions in
which these disturbances are most frequent.
The loss of life, he shows, has been great
est in the States in the order in which
they are here named: Missouri Miss
issippi, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Ohio. There is small area of
maximum frequency, where over fifty des-
tructive tornadoes have occurred, and st.
Louis is in this unfortunate area. There
is an area in New York and another near
Atlanta, having a record Of 30, and one
in Texas, with record of Is. Open
plains seem to favor their development,
while mountains are obstacles The ALE
gany and Blue Ridge appear to protect
pretty effectively the regions east of those
mountains. We have our tornadoes-as in
Central Maryland and Pennsylvania yester-
day-but they are feeble compared with
those of the West Baltimore is in a
region which has record of but 10 des-
tructive tornadoes, and the more eastern
part of the State has record of less than 5.
In April, 1880, Marshfeld, Mo-, was
nearly destroyed by tornado, 92 of its
inhabitants being killed On February 8,
1884, there were sixty separate tornadoes
in the region between the Mississippi and
Atlantic, which destroyed 10. 900 build
ings, killed 800 people and wounded ,, 500.
1t is not long since East ST. Louis suffered
disaster from a tornado only less destructive
than the one of Wednesday last
