JOINT MEETING HELD.
Members of Board of Health and
CITY Councilmen In conference.
Matters of Interest Considered
by Them Last Night.

Pursuant to a request from the board
of health and a resolution of Select
Councilman John f. Roche, a joint meet
ing of the board of health and the
sanitary committee of councils was
held last night. 1t was held in the
board .f health rooms and was at
tended by SeleCtmen Roche and
Schroeder. Commoncrs Reese and CAL
pin. DR.. j. X Bentley, and William
G. O'Maley, of the board of health:
DR.. w. Il. Allen. health officer: Sani-
tary officer Rurke and Secretary Rob-
ert T. Murray.
The purpose of the meeting was to
confer on various matters that needed
the joint attention of councils and the
board. The nuisances created by prop
erty holders on Oak street sewering
into the open gully at the rear of their
premises was brought up by DR.. Allen
and discussed at length. The parties
complained of. Dr. Allen said, are will
ing to connect their properties with
the sewer if the city is willing TO let
them off with one-third of the assess
ment, which, they claim, is all they
are required to paw under the recent
ruling of the supreme court.
n
ruling was made and all the other
property owners paid the full assess
ment the city is not disposed to make
this exception, the councilmen stated,
but as the nuisance must be abated,
it was decided that the city engineer
should be sent up there to investigate
the matter and to submit for the ap-
proval of council whatever he recon-
mends as the best method of dealing
with the question.
The question of how to abate nui-
sances on now streets that have not
been accepted by the city was next
taken up. The great trouble mere is
that the city cannot go on these streets
with an exercise of it's corporate pow
ers. Mr.. Roche took a note of the mat
ter and promised to have the sani-
tary committee lock into the matter.
Several other nuisances arising from
the lack of sewers was called to the at
tention of the councilmen and then
Mr.. Roche submitted for the approval
Of the board the ordinances now in the
committees hands, regulating the
dumping anl hauling of garbage.
Mr. Roche also announced that he
had under consideration a measure
that will permit property owners to
connect their premises with the sewer
before their assessment is paid. in in
stances where the board of health de-
clares the lack of sewer connection
is responsible for a nuisance. At pre-
cent the law in this city prohibits a
property owner from making use of
the sewer until he has paid his assess
ment.
This has been great handicap to the
board of health and II it is removed
many existing nuisarces can be read.

DECIDED INNOVATION.
Has Been introduced by the Econ
omy Furniture Company in the
Annex to Their Big Wyo-
ming Avenue Store.

A good illustration of the progress
sive spirit of Scranton merchants is
given in the latest innovation of the
Economy Furniture company, of WyO-
ming avenue.
In April, 1890. the Oettinger broth
ers came to Scranton and opened a
modest furniture store that had a floor
space of 5000 square feet Careful at
tention to business caused it to eX-
pand and now the company finds it
necessary to have 10000 feet of floor
space, just six times the amount of
room they had when they opened their
doors.
The three floors of the large building
occupied by the company at 225 and
227 Wyoming avenue and the annex
in the rear grew too small months ago
and it was found necessary to rent the
second floor of the adjoining building
at 221 and 223 Wyoming avenue. This
gave them an additional room 4vx100
in size.
On this floor the firm has introduced
a decided innovation for this city. 1t
Is suit of rooms fitted up complete
in every particular. Persons looking
for ideas about house furnishing will
HHu tnlS an eACellent place 10 OBTAIN
them. The rooms furnished are a par
lor, library, bed ROOM ladies' dress
ing room, dining room and kitchen.
Nothing is lacking in any room, and
everything they contain Is taken from
the regular stock of the firm. In each
room the harmonizing of colors re-
ceived careful attention and furniture,
carpets, draperies, etc, blend into a
perfect picture. Frequent changes will
be made in the furniture of these
rooms. One day they will be fitted
luXuriously, as the man with abund-
ant means would furnish his home,
and the next they will contain furn-
ishings suited to the workingman of
modest income.
These rooms are open for the inspec-
tion of the public. Whether or not
persons desire to purchase they are
welcome to visit the rooms and make
use of any ideas with reference ia
house furnishing and decorating they
contain.
Besides these rooms there is a fine
display of parlor furniture, library
cases and ladies' desks in the new
annex.

FORMATION OF A CYCLONE.
Inception of the Twisters That Deal
Destruction and Death.

From st. Nicholas.
To get an idea OF a cyclones for
nation imagine a large circular pan
or tub with quite a large hole in the
middle of the bottom. With this hole
plugged, fill the vessel with water;
then draw out the plug and watch.
There is first a rush of water from
all directions toward the hole and
turbulent effort to get through. Then
the water surface above begins to sink
and swirl, the particles gradually cir
cling around and around, and rushing,
ever faster, toward the center. At last
there is actually hollow space around
which all the water in the tub is whirl-
ing, sluggishly near the rim, but with
more and more violent rapadity tow
ard the middle, until 1t rushes down
ward through the bottom. Now, If that
water were air you would be watch
ing a little cycle turned upside down,
for the air rushes upward instead of
downward.
In the cradle of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and
the water grows hotter because of the
longer days than nights, a layer of
air, hot, and full Of vapor, is for a
time held down by denser air above it,
Restless, expanding, tumultOus, it
moves about like a beast at bay, until
a thinner place in the air above is
found. Then up 1t madly rushes and
into the vacuum left behind the lower
atmosphere hastens from all directions,
pushing and twisting and pouring
upward until IT has fallen into a regu-
lar spinning around a common center.
The cyclone, once formed, rushes away
from the tropics toward the pole, and
begins its career of destruction, bruis-
ing, wrecking and sinking the luckless
ships which happen to be in it's path
More and more of the surrounding at
mOsphere is drawn into the whirl, un-
I'll the storm often covers an area
nearly 1000 miles in diameter. Some
times IT filings itself upon our Atlantic
coast and tears fiercely through for
ests, fields and cities - il
