THE CYCLONE.

To get an idea of a cyclones g forma.

with quite large hole in the middle
Of the bottom. With this hole plugged.
fs1 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 circling around and around
and rushing, ever faster, toward the
center. At last there is actually a 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. if that water
were air, you would be watching little
cyclone 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 grow hotter and hotter because
of the longer days than nights, a layer
Of air, hot, light and full Of vapor, is
for a time held down by denser air
above it. Restless, expanding. tumultu-
GUS, it moves about like beast at bay
until 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 a regular
spinning around common center.
The cyclone, once formed, rushes
away from the tropics toward the pole,
and begins it's 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 the
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 ad1oitly avoids
the land that we never know it has
passed until ships come in torn and
broken. Nicholas.

BACKBONE OF OUR NATION,

lit is from the farm and the country

Edward Box in The Ladies' Home Jour-

life and saying that to live in the coun-

telligent people know that the free, un-

man mind always grows to suit it's out

velopment for great things have naught
to check its growth where one can look
with earnest eyes from nature up to ma

of the rural regions is to stamp oneself
as all ignoramus, not the country peo-

From the New York Times.
People to wohm the phrase, "a once great
nation" so often applied to Spain, Is ex-
tremely irritating, also object to the state
ment, not less frequently made, that Er in
habitants are "a Latin race" AS to the

in vain for evidence that it was ever any
thing else than the extravaganza of man

In Roman times the Peninsula supported
something like 100000 residents, mostly
savages. She certainly was not great ma
ton then, and although since that period
her influence on the rest of Europe has &C.
casianolly been considerable she never
taught her neighbors a single valuable les
son either by precept or example, and her
population has steadily decreased, not with
every year that passed, indeed, but at least
with almost every century. The claim to
Spaniards are not a race at all, but a ming
ling of strains drawn from every part Of
Europe, from the whole northern coast Of
Africa and from at least one section Of Asia.
The original Celtic tribes were never exermi-
mated or driven out, but Greeks and PfSeni-
clans, Carthaginians and Romans, Germanic
tribes-including several besides the Visi-
goths-and Moors, all came one after another,
and they are all there yet in greater or lesser
numbers. The Romans did indeed fix their
makes it Latin, for vast majority Of the
Spanish people owe not more than single
drop Of blood to soldiers who carried Roman
eagles and such service was far from proving
Latin origin. The wide diversity OF Spanish
faces from the conventional Spanish type Of
feature is sufficient indication that the nation
is conglomeration Of many and distinct
strains.

Living and Dying Nations.

Mr.. Gladstone is dead, and the world
moves ON just as it did b: fore he died.
Lord Salisbury lives He is the prime
minister of England today, and a great
man in his exalted station. There have
been two utterancss from the r. pres en-
tatives Of the cabinet of ENGLAND dur
ing the past fortnight which are well
come to the ears of Americans These
consist of the address Of Lord Salisbury
to the Primrose league in London, and
the speech of the Hon. Joseph Cham
berlain in Liverpool the other night.
The speech of Lord Sa isbury liy err
ed before the Primrose league is enc of
the most striking ever made by a pine
minister. In few sentences he sums
up the existing conditions of the ma
tions Of the earth at this time. Rough
ly stated, his theme was Living and
Dying NatIorS.' In the process of his
criticism he holds up to the view Of the
world the fact that all around us great
nations are passing into decay and
younger people with broader ideas and
enlarged views Of the rights Of human
ity are springing up and trampling
down the old barriers which have so
long made men and women nothing
more than slaves.
We print today the full text of the
speech of Lord Salisbury, and it comes
most opportunely in conjunction with
the strife that is now going on between
this country and an old world nation
and the death of Mr.. Gladstone, who,
in himself and in his career, represent
ed as far as he could the principles Of
that great Prince Of Peace born in
Bethlehem and crucified on Calvary,

The Corporation Tax.

The senate form of the house war
revenue bill lays a tax of ene-fourth
of enc percent annually upon the gross
receipts of all corporations. In the
common acceptance of that term only
those large corporations like banks,
railways, trusts OF various kinds, in
short, those aggregations of individual
capital against which the demagogue
perpetrally rails. are the only corpora
tions existing. Any tax, however
smart, laid upon such, is quite sure. if
it does not command popular approval,
not to awake popular remonstrance.
The public mind has got so out of focus
through the persistent denunciation of
corporations that 1t has lost its sense
of justice in everything relating to
them and, regarding them as common
plunderers, looks upon whatever can
be taken from them by taxation or
otherwise as only just reprisals.
We are not going to plead the cause
of these greater corporations in this
matter Of internal taxation, for they
are abundantly able to take care Of
themselves, nor are they resisting the
tax, for to them it Is only one of those
onto the shoulders of those whom they
serve. But there are an infinitely
greater number of men associated. with
their savings, i'm industrial production
| under a corporate form upon whom and
whose industries such a tax will fall
| with crushing weight. 1t should be
understood that the tax is not upon
| their gross capital or upon their net
| profits, hut upon the gross recsip.s of
| their business. In every thriving bust
ness these far exceed the capital in
vested. The merchant annually sells
far greater value of M rchandisa THAI
the amount of his capital. He turns 1t
over many times. So with these Ger
porations; their gross receipts from
sales far exceed the capital On which
profits are made.
Under modern conditions of making
ard selling, the stress of competition,
the narrowing of the margin of profit,
| il regularly occurs to these industrial
corporations that net profits admit of
| but a very small dividend on the cap.-
tai For some the year ends with divi-
dends passed, the business not warrant
ing any return upon the investment.
But this proposed tax takes no account
of investments or profits, but demands
it's quota of the gross receipts of the
year. 1t Is as if the tax should be
| laid upon the gross sales of produce
| from the farm in addition to the taxes
laid by the state and its divisions upon
| the property, for the stocks and plants
of these corporations are also state
taxed. A manufacturing corporation
with $4,000 capital sells products
amounting to 100000; on this the fed
eral tax would be $780, or 1 per cent on
the capital. To this must be added
state and local taxation on the Plant.
usually from 2 to 8 per cent, and, in
addition, the tax upon the individual
holdings of stock in some states. When
this is done, an assessment upon the
stock to pay taxes will be a much more
frequent incident of sharehold.ng than
will be dividend.
