HOW CYCLONES FORM.
Btarted by the Heated Air of the Tropics
and Spinning Like Top.


and Spinning Like Top.
Lieutenant John NJ. Ellicott, U. S.
n, contributes to the st. Nicholas an
article on "The Cradle Of Cyclones. d
Lieutenant Ellicott says To get an
idea of a cyclones formation, imagine
a large circular pan OF tub with quite
4 large hole in the middle of it's bot.
;om. With this hole plugged, fill the
vessel with water, then draw out the
plug, and watch. There is first O rush
Of water from all directions toward
The hole, and a.turbulent effort to gel
through. Then the water surface
above begins to sink and swirl, the
PARTICLES gradually circling around

toward the centre. AT last there Ia
actually hollow space through thd
centre, around which all the water in
The tub is whirling, sluggishly near
The rim, but with more and more vic.
lent rapidity towards the middle,
antil it rushes downward through the
bottom. Now, if that water were air,
you would be watching q little cyclone
turned upside down, for the dir rushes
upward instead of downward.
In the cyclones during the summer
months, when the land and the watel
grow hotter and hotter because of the
longer days than nights, layer Of
air, hot, light, and full of vapor, ID

formed, rushes away from the tropica
toward the pole, and begins its career
Of destruction, bruising, wrecking,
and sinking the luckless ships which
happen to be in its path. More and
more of the surrounding atmosphere
is drawn into the whirl, until tho

sweeps away across the broad ocean,
and dashes itself upon the coasts OF
Europe. Once in while it so adroitly
avoids the land that we never know il

A "Real Daughter" Gets Her Spoon. =

A "Real Daughter" Gets Her Spoon. =
A few days ago there was forwarded
to Phoebe Bayard Chapter, Daughters
ofthe American Revolution, at Green's
burg, Westmoreland County, Penn, a
massive souvenir spoon that brought
Joy to tho heart Of Mrs. Margaret @.
Craig, Of New Alexandria, who is O
member of Phoebe BaYard Chapter.
The spoon, in accordance with the Gus.
tom of the order, was sent because
Mrs. Craig had been accepted by the
national society OF Washington as a
"real daughter" she being the daugh-
ter of General Alexander Craig, who
rendered distinguished services to his
country during the revolution.

India she and her husband will occupy
palace Of the blood royal. In Engs
land she is upon the highest pinnacle.
Thirty years ago the father Of this
American queen was selling calico and
stockings over counter in Chicago,
He saved one-half that he earned. He
invested and saved oil that he made
until he had fortune.
When he gained wealth his wife
fought as hard for social recognition
as her husband had to make money.
She struggled in Chicago and made
little Roadway. She went to Wash
ington and resumed the fight there
and succeeded. What matter if she
was called the Mrs. Malaprop of Wash
ington. She was force, although to
this day her sway is disputed.
But there is no disputing the power
of her daughter. She has taken a
foremost place in the most exclusive
society in the world She has now
become the arbiter of the fate of
American women seeking recognition
abroad, By q mere word the daugh-
ter of Levi 2. Letter can gain royal
recognition for other American wo-
men. or she can, if she chooses, deny
such recognition to them. She can
make Mrs. Potter Palmer, her
mothers ancient social enemy, knock
in vain at the portal of European
Courts even after having conquered
the 400 and Newport.
Mrs. Curzon was Miss Mary Vir.
ginia Letter, the eldest child of Levi
2. Letter, and the sister of Joseph
Letter, who was king of wheat few
months ago and who lost something
like $1S, 100000 Of which his father
has had to pay about half, the other
representing the profits of the deal OF
one time.
Mrs. Curzon has lived more in
Washington and in Europe than she
has in Chicago. Her marriage to
george Natnanlel CurZon, who has
been looked upon as the coming man
in the Tory party for several years,
was q great social event, although it
did not attract as much attention as
some other international marriages.
It was generally accepted that Mr..
Ourzon hoped some day to become
Prime Minister of England and that it
was his wife who Influenced him in
deciding to accept the high place of
Viceroy.
She will occupy the highest place
socially Of any woman in India, be-
cause she will directly represent the
Queen. She will hold court, receive
native princes and be virtually queen
of 400, 900 people.

LUCK OF THE CURzONs.

The first American woman to become
real Queen is the daughter Of for
mer dry-goods clark.
She will rule more than 400, 900, 900
Of people. She will occupy an official
position higher than any woman of this
nation has ever attained.
She has mounted to her proud place
on foundation of dry goods and Chi
cago real estate, but she is worthy Of

It isquite true this American woman

Of the British Empire. She will sit
on a throne and none will be too great
to bow before her.
Mrs. Curzon, to whom o daughter
has just been born, is thirty-one. She
has great beauty, $5,OOO,OOO as o
dowry and a young husband who is
already one of the great men of his
nation. Surely her career is enough

Her position is fixed for all time. In

Ii Hung Chang is thus once more
in power, acting as Chancellor directly
under the Empress Dowager. This was
brought about through the weakness
Of the Emperor, who is recognized as
unfit to deal with large matters of
state. The Empress Dawager, who
is very able woman, convinced him
that he must retire Weng, who for
several years had been the head and
front ofthe party opposed to all for

A Cuban Milkman.

Glow many cows there are about
the streets!' somebody exclaims, and
then he is calmly informed that the
mornings milk is simply being deliv-
cred. A bunch Of cattle and their
driver stop before a house, and the
portero comes out with q cup for the
mornings supply. 1t is seen then
that the cows are being MIXED from
door to door by the dairymen, for this
Is the way the acute Cuban house
wives have taken to assure for their
tables Tactical supply which is entire
y fresh and absolutely pure. Other
wise the guile-loving vender might d.
lutte the milk before delivering it to
his customers, and craftily stir into
The watery fluid the juice Of the sweet
potato to color it up to duly rich and
creamy cast. Even with the cows
milked before the door one must con-
'inue to watch the milkman, for have
,ven heard of their having a rubber
bag of water concealed under their
loose frocks and connected with arub-
Der tube running down the inside of
'he sleeve, its tip being concealed In
The hollow Of the milking-hand. Only
! gentle pressure upon the bag OF
water within is needed to thus cause
both milk and water to flow into the
the cup at the same time The milk
venders of Italy and India have also
earned their trade to perfection, for

see this old fossil in his true light,
and has rid himself Of his "Old Man
of the Sea-" The Manohus, many of
them, sympathize with Weng, and are
fearful less this dismissal means
wholesale innovations.
With Weng out Of the way, the En-
press Dowager had no difficulty in re-
gaining her old place as real ruler Of
the eighteen provinces. All the pro-
vincial Governors and Viceroys, as
we'll as government officials ranking
higher than Taotai, are commanded to
memorabilia her, thanking her for the
Office they hold. She has already
shown her favor to Ii Hung Chang,
aud he is in power again as virtual
ruler of the Tsung-li-Yamen. Unjust
give old Ii much satisfaction to thus
prevail ever Weng, who clamored for
Lis head during the Chinese.Japanese
war.
One weak man in the Cabinet is
Wang, who has been called from the
Chilli Viceroyshir. Prince Kung on
on his deathbed stipulated that Wang
should succeed him in the Cabinet.
Wang is dull, ultra conservative, and
smokes too much opium, but he is old
and cannot last long.
The resurrection of Viceroy Ii has
aroused the British in China, who see
in it another trick taken by the
Russians. Ii, who was once the
strongest friend of England, is now
doing everything in his power to help
Russia.
The Empress Dowager of China,
Tsou Hsi, is q woman of force. She
is sixty-four years old, but she is the
Chinese exemplar of the new woman.
For nearly forty years hers has been
the most powerful influence in the
Flowery Kingdom.
The Emperor Kouangsu is the EN-.
press Dowager's adopted son. After
her own sons death she took up
Kouangsu and trained him so that she
could keep him under her thumb.
The Emperor Is twenty-six years old
to-day, so that his open deposition
from real power is aleft-handed birth.
day present from his dear adopted
mother.
For many years she has been re-
ceiving birthday presents which have
made her the richest woman on earth.
On each birthday the Chinese people
have poured riches into her lap. Dur
ing the war with Japan it was limited
to the Dowager Empress that the
people needed all the money they had;
that perhaps she might be pleased to
refuse the usual presents. She COM
promised-took half.
Ii Hung Chang, who was so popular
in New York, has always found his
frmest friend and most generous pa
iron in the Dowager Empress. Once
in while she has been mad at him
and taken away his peacock's feather
or his yellow jacket, but he soon had
it again, and her favor. So that usu-
ally, when all went we'll with Ii Hung,
it proved that the Dowager Empress
was supreme. Rarely has the young
Emperor tried to demonstrate his man
hood and really be Emperor. Then Ii
Hung Chang was in trouble, but it
never lasted long, for the Dowager En-
press put her thumbs down on her
stepson just as she has done now.
The Tsung-li-Yamen is the Chinese
Foreign Office. The only thing to be
compared to it in this country is the
Department of State. 1t is stated that
Tsou Hsi has lately been filling the
