were so badly damaged as to make them unfit for use.
 These are only part of the queer an- tics played by the cyclone. Almost every hour for several days after the occurrence something new turned up just as unbelievable as any previously found.
 clone and stood by helpless while 1t ragged, John Borsois experience was the most thrilling. He is not ashamed to say that he was almost frightened to death and the effects of the shock to his nervous system will not pass away for many days.
 When I first saw the black cloud coming up," said MT. Borsoi T did not know what to make of It. You see l was not born in this country and I never heard of cyclones
 All morning it had been so hot and close that l almost fell sick There was no air in the house and I came out to sit on the wOodpile and was watching the sky. I could see the surprised they moved so fast
 While l was watching the sky I suddenly saw it begin to grow dark all the bright, white clouds suddenly disappeared and the sky became misty Even while l was looking the sky got d thunder. and I thought we would have some rain. Then 1 saw a greenish light come and spread over the trees down by the Calaveras.
 I must go into the house or I'll get wet. I said to myself Just as 1 started I looked up and saw that black fun nel-shaped cloud The top part was as black as ink. and the lower part was turning round and round like light ming. Now it bounded up in the air and then came down.
 ITO say that I was frightened does not describe it. l was simply stupe- fled with fear, and stood rooted to the spot. Perspiration broke out all over me and I could not move if 1t had come on top of me and killed me. simply looked and looked and heard the thunder roll and saw the lightning flash from the top part of the cloud
 Tt seemed to me like an age, but it could have been only a few minutes.

the Broschi place everything the storm touched was carried away
 A few hundred feet further along it's course the cyclone struck a windbreak of trees with a collection of chicken houses and small sheds on the inside. Naturally it would be supposed that the trees would suffer as much as the build ings. Such was not the case The cyclone jumped over the trees, went in side the inclOsure and reduced the chicken houses to kindling wood, killing all the birds as well as a dog and cat and continued on its course leaving the windbreak uninjured.
 Just after leaving this place the cyclones path lay across an almost bare field. Here it cleaned off the stub ble and weeds as if reapc- had passed over them. It then struck an old tree standing alone and stripped off all the limbs by pressing them down and pfling them around the bottom of the trunk This was one of the most grOtesque sights to be found along the cyclones path and it is impossible to conceive of the complexity of the forces that caused It. The tree trunk stands up like pole with it's limbs and leaves littering the ground about it.
 A horse belonging to Simon Moore was unfortunate enough to stand in the cyclones way. He was so badly fright ened and bruised that ne ndSnt yet been able to realize what struck him. First his hind legs were seized, then he was lifted bodily off the ground and turned over in the air several times He kicked in all directions, but all to no purpose. for the cyclone carried him about 200 feet and then dropped him down in q Leap. No bones were broken, but the horse will not be able to work for several weeks so badly bruised is he.
 At vineyard close to the edge of Stockton several hundred empty fruit boxes were nicely piled up. These were seized in a bunch and lifted high in the air. After being car ried several hundred yards they were dropped to the ground, where the back swash of the cyclone seized them and scattered them In all directions They were spread all over hundred-acre field, and the larger portion of them
