storm which wrought the havoc, was
most peculiar one, and scarcely two
people in all the city agree as to just
how the damage was done. The
wind seemed to take the form of Al
hurricane, rather than that of a cy-
clone, the wrecked buildings showing
none of the irons and girtlers which
usually mark the track Oi rotary
wind storm. The general trend was
from southwest to northeast, the
center of the business district of the
city lying about IL mile north of the
storms path. The heavy damage
was i'm tht vicinity of the lower grove
and Lafayette park, where hand
some residences We're wrecked and
many injured.
The tornado swept from the north
east as far as the river, when, with a
the Mississippi and tore it's way into
the heart of East st. Louis. One of
the most remarkable features was
the destruction of a wing of the city
hospital, carrying 200 patients down
in the wreck and killing but one per-
son.
ST. LOUIS, MAY 30.-By slow de-
grees st. Louis is recovering from
the business paralysis caused by the
awful storm. Some of the principal
thoroughfares that werechoked with
wreckage have been opened and a few
of the street car lines started, but
the telephone system of the town il
practically useless. Side streets
through the storm-wrecked district
are still i'm chaotic condition. The
number of dead is hourly growing
greater as the work of exploring the
ruins progresses. Ruins where al
first 1T was thought there were nc
bodies are now yielding them up
1t was said by the officials at the cit,
hospital the day after the storm thai
no one was crushed in the ruins
They are now beginning to chang,
, their minds. 1t has been ascer
z tained that 60 to - of the patient
and four or five employees are miss
:. nothing towards exploring the ruin
I had been done, but a large number q
: men We're put to work at dayligh
J. to-day. This was done only at tn
: loud demands 'of people who ha
! friends at the hospital during th
storm and who have not been hear
of since.
: The list of dead at ST. Louis wa
i increased by seven last night. The
e died in hospitals, of injuries receive
. during the storm.
Is The Post-Dispatch prints an est
e mate OF the property loss at s.
o Louis, and it claims it will not e,

e In the opinion OF Mayor Bader, {
d East ST. Louis, the total los

during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by

Tipping Hudson Bay.

A curious result OF the slow changes
of level going on at various points Of
the earth's surface has recently been
pointed out by Prof. Bell of the Geog-
raphlcal Survey Of Canada. This Is a
gradual tipping up Of the shores Of
Hudson Bay, as II some gigantic power
we.G engaged In an attempt to empty
that great basin Of water into the ad-
Joining sea. One of the earliest lndi-
cations of what was going on came to
the attention Of the officers of the Hud.
son Bay Company when they found
that the water ut the mouths Of the riv-
ers where their posts are stationed was
gradually getting shallower and navi-
CATION consequently becoming more
difficult. Examination shows that the
shore Is lined with old beaches Of sand
ami gravel lying as high as fifty feet
or more above the present level of the
BAY When Hendrix Hudson, In 1910,
discovered the great body Of water that
bears his name, he wintered with his
ships on the east coast of the bay In a
harbor which has now disappeared, or
ut least has been SO far drained Off as
no longer to be recognizable from his
description.

Cowboy Way OF Shooting.

For some years past the cowboys OF
the wild and woolly west have employ.
ed process called flaming the ham
mer" in using their pistols. 10 do this,
they either take the trigger Off or tic It
back, and work the action by striking
the hammer with the thick part Of the
palm of the hand. This method has the
advantage of discharglng six shots In
the time required for the self-cocker to
discharge two by the ordinary method.
The requisites for use Of the pistol In
this way are large hammer, a plant
handspring, extremely smooth action,
and a cylmder-stOp operated from tho
heel of the hammer instead Of from the
trigger. This style Of pistol has become
SO popular that one of the big Eastern
firearms companies Is going to put u
line of triggerless pistols on the mar
ket. The tools for their manufacture
have already been completed, and the
new type Of revOlvers viii soon be on
