Fake Tornado Pictures.

1t requires self-possesslon and sometimes
foolhardiness to stand up before the bust
ness end Of an advancing tornado and take
a snap shot at 1t. The thing has been done,
but not often. Genuine Photographic
negatives Of full-hedged tornado are a
scarce product. OF course, the resources Of
yellow journalism are equal to any emer-
gency, and a picture Of the characteristic fun
mel cloud, from Ia photograph" is mustered
into service whenever required. Ono Of
these pictures, printed two months ago,
shows the terror Of the skies kicking up
the dust and soaring tho inhabitants in the
hamlet OF Waynoka. Oklahoma AS usual,
the picture was from photograph" and
the object, thus caught on the fly, certainly
looked vicious and energetic.
1t was over year ago that Waynoka re-
ceived this visitation and the achievement
of the courageous photographer was too
tardily spread before the public. More
promptness was shown in publishing q
picture OF the tornado that brought death
to 30 many homes in Kirksvllle, Mo-, on
April 81 last. A comparison of these
two alleged photographs reveals curious
phenomenon.
One shows what purports to be the viii
lage of Waynoka and the plain around It,
while the other gives q view Of road
edged by Usage hedges such as are seen in
Missouri The surroundings are different,
but the funnel clouds are identical in as
pect. They have exactly the Same form,
the same scollops around their edges, the
same light patches in the black area and
the same clouds in the sky around the fun
mel. The same tornado apparently visited
Missouri nearly year after its appear
ance in Oklahoma, having suffered not the
wear and tear in the interval.
The Monthly Weather Rerie,o publishes the
two photographs in its latest issue with
plausible explanation OF them. 1t says tho
tornado funnel has every appearance Of
having been drawn III india ink on glass
and then imposed by printing upon the
landscape negatives. However
that may be, it is certain that in neither
case Is the picture photograph from
nature OF a genuine cloud funnel.
The public is somewhat accustomed to
fine photographs OF the moon taken at mid
day when the sun is slightly obscured by
clouds; and In other ways tho art that
DAGUERRR originated has been used with
intent to deceive. The next tornado
will probably call out another
edition Of the same old picture unless the
artist and his india ink bottle are blown
away by the indignant cyclone.

cal alliance Of which the continuous candi-
daoy Of BRYAN IL q feature, has many en-

Those Democrats OF conviction and consist
ency who left the party and repudiated It's

turn to It because Of any new-found profess
sions Of hostility to Populists or, rather, to
such Populists as have not already been alb
sorbed into the Democratic party to become
the controlling force in it's affairs. And
from the point Of view OF political advan-
tage, 1t does not appear how Democratic
prospects for success In 1900 could be pro-
NOTED by the method proposed by the Bour-
bons. BRYAN was the minority candidate
In 1906, and the party which supported
him Is the minority party in the United
States to-day. Weakarmies do not repel re-
cruits and minority organizations do not
in election years refuse such aid In votes as
they are able to get.

Tho vigorous preparations made to carry

construed as reflection on past operations
there, or lead us to injustice regarding
what has already been accomplished.

folly. Our troops were obliged to wait on

Meanwhile our troops, regulars and vol

Luzon was only imperfectly known and
much had to be learned by experience. The
miserable roads and the overlooked rice
fields were very great obstacles In general
1t was obvious that the Dagupar railroad

The Albatross Expedition.

Two Of the three vessels in the service Of
the Commission OF Fish and Fisheries arc
steamers and one OF them, the Albatross, is
recognized by oceanographers as the best
equipped vessel afoat for deep-sea re-
search. She cost nearly 5000, 900, has
twin screws and can steam over $500
miles with one coaling. Her appliances for
marine research are the best devised and
her effectiveness in this field has been
demonstrated in Atlantic as we'll as Alaskan
and other western Pacific waters. There Is
reason to expect valuable scientific results
from the 20, OoO-mile cruise over the Pacific
upon which she is now starting.
The scientific staff Of eight men headed by
Prof. ALEXANDER AaAssI1 will not conflne
their attention wholly to deep-sea, coral
reef and other marine studies. The oppor-
tunity will be improved to obtain for the
National Museum specimens of the fauna
OF the islands visited. Mr.. A. B. ALEX
AMBER, the fishery expert, will study alb
original fishing methods and collect speci-
mems OF the appliances used. Long ago
the Wilkes exploring expedition brought to
the Smithsonian Institution a large num-
Der OF chronological specimens from the
Pacific islands, but in those days the oollec-
ton was poorly cared for and rendered
partly useless by the loss OF labels and ex-
planatory notes. Tho Albatross carries
photographs and descriptions Of this ma
terial, and the effort will be made to learn
something more about 1t and to collect
further chronological specimens from many
islands where civilization is now supplant-
H. Aa
The main object, Of course, is marine in
vestigation, and this field offers abundant
opportunity for original research. Almost
nothing, for example. Is now known Of any

almost wholly unknown, and about two

peiago. The same may be said Of the

two months viii be devoted to exploration.
Deep-sea dredging, trawiing for sea fauna
and soundings win DO the leading features
Of the whole work.
In view Of the remarkable depths disoov-
cred In the Pacific within the past three
years the Albatross has been equipped with
a wire dredge rope 10000 feet long; a
special drum had to be made to accommo-
date it. The largest beam trawl yet made
has been provided with view to catching
larger animals than have hitherto been oap-
tured by similar apparatus. Tho middle

what Il the Matter with Such Mind 2

This question was asked yesterday by
the NeU York TSmes:
~ he gold standard already EXISTS in this ooun-
w would Asrs be any harm in saying so In q couple
Of lines In the statute bookr'
OF course there would be no harm In
saying 90, and accordingly it was said in the
Act Of Congress of February ~, 1873 in
these plain and decisive words: THAT tho
gold coins Of the United States shall be .
dollar piece, which, at the standard weight
oftwenty-nve and one-eighth grains, shall
BE- 2e unit Of valua," the Act then proceed
ing to enumerate the other gold coins.
The same statute shuts out the free coinage
Of silver.
II was this act, the Crime Of 1879"
(which made tho issue in 1895, when the
Democratic platform at Chicago contained
this declaration:
I'VE declare that the Act Of 1873. demonetEinr
silver without the knowledge approval of tho
American people. has resulted In the appreciation Of
Gsld." 10
The Ne,c York Times proceeds to say:
"Esablish the single gold standard By statute and
the silver Issue would be killed dead. The Repub-
lean managers do not want It killed dead. They
vantto keep II alive because It Ii surely good one
moro victory
Why was there silver issue In 1905 and
why is ii alive now? Is 1t not because OF
the Act Of 1873 and that statute aloneP
That law still remains on the statute
book unrepealed and unamended, and 1t is
It which makes the silver issue. So long
as It is on the statute book the issue re-
mains, for the Act OF 1873 may be ex-
plunged from the statute book by the will
OF tho people. That only Is what keeps the
silver issue alive; it is alive because, in the
words OF the Chicago platform, the Act Of
1873 demonetized silver.
How, then, could any re-enactment Of the
gold standard kill dead" the silver issue
as the Times says2 The mere proposition
OF such superhuous legislation would rather
give new vitality to the silver issue,
for the Democratic party according to its |
latest delverance. is opposed uncompro-
misingly to the single gold standard. |
Surely, no power in Republican legislation |
could change that opposition. 1t is the |
very question over which tho Democratic
party is fighting.
Whether ''the Republican managers"
want or do not want the silver issue
"dlled Dead" they arc powerless in
The premises; they can neither kill
1t nor keep 1t alive by anything
Shoy can do in Congress. The silver
Issue" Is here and 1t has been here actively
sinoe 1896 1t cannot be KILLED dead" except
by the abandonment Of 1t by the Democratic
party and the positive acceptance o. ne
existing gold standard, or by tho defeat Of
that party in 1900. If there is anything
In law, reason or politics more obvious
than this We have not discovered 1t, yet, !,
seems. there are some minds incapable OF
seeing or unwilling to see fact which
stares them in the face.
