Seed Blown Out of the Ground.

A terrific storm swept over the Ar.
kansas valley in southwestern Kansas
the other day. The wind blew at the
rate Of forty miles an hour. The great
valley, which averages ten miles wide,
is in bed of sand, and passengers
who arrived ON the trains from that
section tonight say people we're driven
to their homes for protection against a
cloud of dust and sand which no hu-
man being could face.
Many farmers will have to replant
their corn. The storm was so violent
that corn planted two inches under
ground was blown with the dust and
sand for miles, while the irrigation
bitches are full. Engineers could not
see ten feet ahead of them, and win
dows and ventilators in the cars were
closed to protect ihe passengers from
being smothered. st. Louis Repub-

TO be beneficial. New York Tribune.

would have sat thus, had not Aunt
Sheba, just at this touching moment,
suddenly raised to view face that
was too much for Patty even in her
contrite mood. Tears had washed
away the powder in little streaks from
the cheeks, Patty's kisses had taken
off another spot from the forehead,
and poor Aunt Sheba's face presented
mottled and spotted appearance that
was very comical.

her aunt wonderfully, for she bright
ened up at once, and was soon at work
with soap and water trying to remove
all trace of the cosmetic that had had
such different effect from what she
had expected.

Genesis of the Match Industry in America.

Genesis OF the Match Industry In America.
The first manufactory of friction
matches was located in the centre of
the Connecticut Valley, in the historic
community known as Chicopee Street.
The principle of this invention had
been thought out in Europe, but
bright Yankee minds were quick to
catch the idea from across the water,
and the manufacture progressed as
rapidly here rs there. The credit for
this invention is probably due to John
Walker, a chemist, who lived in Eng
land in Stockton -on-Tees. He was
experimenting with chlorate of potash,
and found that it could be instantly
ignited by friction, when coated on
stick with phosphorus and drawn
through folded ssndpaper. This dis
covery was made in 1929, and the at
tention of Michael Faraday being
called TO the new idea, it soon became
popular, and the manufacture was
started nearly simultaneously in Eu-
rope and America. The first factory
for the making of friction matches ON
large scale is stated to have been es-
tablished in Vienna in 1888, but the
factory on Chicopee street was run
ming nearly as early as this, if not be-
fore.-Springfeld Mass. Republican.
