THE CYCLONE.
HOW 'FhIs Wonderful ana Destruc-
tive Air Eurx. L. Fnrmed

Ntve AIR FURY Is Formed.
To get an idea of a cyclones forma-
tion imagine large circular pan or tub
with quite 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 a turbulent effort to get
through. Then the water surface above
begins to sink and swirl, the PARTICLES
gradually circling around and around
and rushing. ever faster, toward the
center At last there is actually hol-
low space through the center, around
which all the water in the tub is whirl-
ing, sluggishly near the rim, but with
more and more violent rapidity toward
the middle until it rushes downward
through the bottom. Now, il that water
were air, you would be watching little
cyclone turned upside down, for the air
PUSHES upward instead of downward.
In the cradle of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and the
water grow hotter and hotter because
of the longer days than nights, layer
of air, hot, light and full Of yapor, is
for a time held down by denser air
above it, Restless expanding tumultu-
GUS. it moves about like a beast at bay
until a thinner place in the air above is
found. Then up it madly rushes and
into the vacuum left behind the lower
atmosphere bastens from all directions,
pushing and twisting and pouring up
ward until it has fallen into regular
spinning around common center.
The cyclone. once formed, rushes
away from the tropics 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 sur
rounding atmosphere is drawn into tho
whirl until the storm often covers an
area nearly 1000 miles in diameter
Sometimes it filings itself upon our AT
lantic coast and tears fiercely through
forests, fields and cities. Then again it
sweeps away across the broad ocean and
dashes itself upon the coasts of Europe.
Once in awhile it SO adIoitly avoids
the land that we never know it has
passed until ships come in torn and
broken. st. Nicholas.

Here is a story that the Cleveland
Leader proffers about General Shafter.
It centers about his salient trait of be-
ing pugnacious, just as all current and
we'll invented anecdotes Of Fighting
Bob" Evans revolve around some in
candescent bit of profanity. But the
story runs thus, as the general is made
to tell it:
"Once, when was boy at school
wasn't more than 10 or II years old at
the time-our teacher called up the
class in mental arithmetic and began
putting questions beginning with the
pupil at the head Of the row and going
down toward the foot until some one
could give the correct answer stood
somewhere near the middle, and next
below me was boy who was three
years older and considerably ahead of
me in the various studies that we had.
How much are 10 and 9 and 81
the teacher asked.
while one after another of the boys
and girls ahead of me guessed ana
failed to get it right figured out what
thought the answer ought to be. The
question bad almost got to me when
heard the big boy just below me whis-
pering, apparently to himself. but loud
enough for me to hear, 49, 80, 49,.
Finally the pupil above me failed
to answer correctly, and then it was my
turn.
Well, Willie, said the teacher,
let's see if you know the answer Come.
now, be prompt.
II cooked my head up proudly on ons
side, cast triumphant look at those
who had fallen down on the problem
and said, SO that everybody in the
schoolroom could hear me:
Twenty -ninel'
Next How many are 13 and 0
and 8?
Awp said the big boy below me,
with look of supreme contempt at the
rest of US, sS0r
"That was what / had figured it to
be myself, and when the teacher said
correct wanted to fight.
81 didn't assault him, but made NJ
my mind right there and then to depend
on my own Judgment in the future, and
ever since then when have had any
thing to do and had figured out what !
considered the best way to do it have
gone ahead, remembering, when people
criticised or tried to throw me off the
track, how that big boy made fool Of
me in the mental arithmetic class. Z

Children in New York are devising
games to be played on Thanksgiving
day. Usually in the gathering together
of families there are host of young
folk who need to entertain themselves.
One game that think is going to be
unusually interesting is the escape from
prison.
1t requires children who are ''up" on
geography; still, if need be, it is a les
son in the disguise of pleasure. The
game proceeds after this fashion: A
map is held by the judge, usually a
grown person. then, too, children are
chosen and placed in separate corners.
Says the judge: NOW, Carrie. you
represent New York in this corner, and,
Richard, you are in Moscow imprisoned;
you want to get away and reach homo
by Thanksgiving day You have got
from behind the walls. but what is your
most direct route homer"
Then Richard has to tell each sea,
country and ocean he crosses to get
home for the turkey and cranberry
sauce. If he can't do it successfully, he
must remain right ON the spot on the
floor where he stopped until he thinks
out his escape.
Other members of the game are
placed in prison at various parts of the
country. The favorite jails now are To-
Gated in Spain and Cuba on account of
the interest in the war. A leading ques-
ton is. 'It you were put in Santiago
prison, how would you get back to
Spain?'
Soon the room becomes filed with
prisoners, all trying to get home. Half
of them arc STALLED in the center, try
ing to think Of the boundary line which
brings freedom; others are just leaving
the prison walls
1t has the same interest when got
we'll into it as the southern children
find in runaway negro" or prison
er's base !" When the game has been
played frequently, those who join in get
very familiar with the junction of coun-
tries and learn many straight lines and
clever jumps that had not appeared
feasible before. For those who are not
quite conversant with geography easy
tasks are giveu-for instance, to be
placed in Paris prison and find their
wav home to Boston. New York Press

half of what it would eat up clean if it
had chance and if the place Of the
grass is taken by good clover hay, with
shelter from storms and protection from
excessive cold, with plenty of salt and
pure water, the calf will pay for it all,
even if corn were 40 cents 5ushel. We
would not feed an all corn ration be-
cause the calf requires muscle forming

cheapest foods of this kind. We would

BUTTER FLAVOR.
A study I'm the Effects of Food and
Fermentation.

A study I'm the Effects of Food and
Fermentation.
The most important single quality in
butter is its flavor, says F. G. Short in
Hoard's Dairyman, and, consequently,
everything that can affect the flavor is
of prime Importance to the butter
maker. 1t is only within the past few
years that the source and theory of
favor have been begun to be understood,
and even now there is much uncertainty
as to the best methods to be pursued,
both to prevent Objectionable favors
and to acquire good ones.
Divided according to their source,
butter fiavors are of two kinds-frst,
those derived from the food, and, second,
those derived from fermentation. 1t has
long been known that some Of the
strongest f1avors, such as those coming
from onions, leeks, turnips, etc have
decided influence on the butter. They
are SO much stronger than the favor
proper to butter that their presence is
easily recognized and traced to its proper
source. To this class also belongs the
flavor coming from green rye, clover
and probably, to certain extent, all
green food.
Another set of conditions which affect
the flavor of butter are those which are
brought about by the growth of differ
ent forms of bacteria which takes place
during the ripening of cream. Till
within few years this side of the ques
ton has been enveloped in much obscur-
ity, owing to the complex nature Of the
operation and the amount of labor and
skill necessary to separate the different
species of flavor producing bacteria.
The work performed thus far, both in
this country and in Europe, has shown
that in the ripening of cream large
number of species of bacteria may enter
into the operation, although it is prob
able that the production of the finest
flavors is limited to a few species.
1t is fortunate that the flavor. produc-
ing bacteria are those which seem to be
produced in the cream under normal
conditions of cleanliness and tempera-
ture, and that those that produce the
sol" fiavors are to certain extent abb
normal growths, produced by dirt or
wrong conditions of temperature. 1t is
true that abnormal growths may some
times obtain footing even when the
best conditions of cleanliness and tenn
perature are maintained, but it may be
taken as a rule that fine favored butter
is the result of a ferment hieh will
only grow when the conditions which
are favorable to putrefactive or alkaline
fermentation are removed, a condition
of which cleanliness is the first requisite.
