EARLY FOR TORNADOEs.
weather Bureau Did Not Expect Them
and Made No Forecast.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-the tornado
weather in several OF the Southern States
Yesterday came in the nature of a surprise
to the Weather Bureau officials, who were
not prepared for it so early in the season.
The appearance of the storms, explained
Forecast Official I'rankenfield, of the bu-
reau, tonight, was due to the presence of
an unusual amount of heat followed closely
by a marked fall in temperature, conditions
which prevailed in the sections visited. The
tornadoes occurring in eastern Tennessee
ard northern Alabama were on the south
eastern edge of an area of low pressure or
storm center, which has now shifted rapidly
northeastward TO the Massachusetts coast.
There will be no immediate repetition of the
tornadoes, said Mr.. Fankenfeld, as the
storm current has passed over and diSap-
peared to the coast. These viSitationS OF
the elements, ii IS said, are not often pre-
dicted by the bureau, because of the diff
Culties in the way-similar conditions for
instance at different times producing differ
ent results. No reports concerning the tor
radoes have reached the Weather Bureau
and none is expected until the end of the
month, when the regular returns are sent
in. Such occurrences as those yesterday are
expected usually from May TO July. A fea-
ture of the present storm has been the high
winds prevailing on the coast and nearby
points. reaching seventy-two miles an hour
in New York, forty-six miles in the District
of Columbia and thirty-five to forty miles
at various points in the South.

Not Worried Over the Visit of the
President and Party To-Day.

JEKYL ISLAND, via Brunswick, Ga,
March 19-On the surface this has been
dreamy balmy, southern coast Sunday in
this ideal resort of millionaires. But there
is an undercurrent of preparation for the
ensuing week and of political speculation
as to what the week will bring forth that
serves to put those closely interested upon
the tenterhooks. Speaker Reeds presence.
his smiling complacency, the visit OF the
President with Senator Hanna. Vice Presi-
dent Hobart, ex-Secretary Day and other
Notable personages tomorrow form the
basis for the speculatons. 1t was also ex-
pected that Secretary Alger would arrive
tomorrow or Tuesday and that added TO
the guessing. 1t was stated tonight, how
ever. that the secretary would not be here
Speaker Reed is taking life easy and there
appears no anxiety on his part over the
approaching visit of the chief executive
lie knows that he was on Jekyl first that
the evidence is all in his favor as to the adj
ministration coming to him. Whatever may
have been the wire working" to accom-
plish this end, the situation is anything but
unfavorable to the speaker. He took a spin
over the island this morning with apparent
delight.
President Mckinley and party will occupy
the Frederic Baker cottage. This is located
on the north side of the Jekyl clubhouse
and is about 200 yards distant from the Sans
Souci apartment house, wherein Speaker
Reed is domiciled as the guest of John q.
Moore, of New York Meantime arrange
ments have been made TO give the presiden-
tial party a warm and hospitable welcome.
Upon the arrival of the President at Bruins
wick he will be met by Mayor Atkinson and
the leading citizens and metaphorically Civ
en- the keys of she city. There was talk OF
a special steamer to bring him 10 Jekyl,
but tie arrangements now are that he will
come on the regular line steamer Governor

ident at the Jekyl dock 1t will consist In
part of Thomas Nelson Page, the novelist;

tons have been given that no newspaper

Bliss's desire that no newspaper men come
down. as the President Is supposed TO be
simply out for rest and recreation.

HORSE MEAT.
1t IL Nutritious and Wholesome, but
Prejudice Is Against 1t.
New York Sun.

The North Dakota Meat Company, which
asks permission to open a horse slaughter
house here, doubtless expects to wait for
it's profits till 1t has dissipated public preju-
dice and created demand for its COM
modify. This bids fair TO be slow process,
If we may judge from the experience of Eu-
much evidence that this food is nutritious
and wholesome, but 1t has hardly made any
impression as yet In foreign markets IL
has been sold in Paris for nearly thirty
years, and II has been introduced TO a small
extent in Belgium and Germany. where 1t
sells at from TO cents pound, half the
price Of beef or less, but 1t has made so lit
tie Roadway that not one OF the CONNER
cial Biographies printed in Europe makes
any mention of it. DIR. Eduard Hahn, who
believes that horse flesh is desirable food
and that its use should be encouraged, says
in Die Haustiere that almost nothing has
been accomplished in the effort TO overcome
the prejudice against it, and that its use as
food would be much more restricted If II
were not often imposed upon the consumer
as beef.
Long before starving Paris opened horse
meat shops; during the German siege IT
was know, that the barbarous ancestors OF
ene Ell tb VINO were horse
flesh as dainty not to be despised. Trey
did not change their opinions until long
Catholicism. and really gave up horse meat
only upon compulsion, after one OF the
Bonifaces had declared that Catholics
should not eat horse flesh, and exerted ev-
he characterized misuse of the horse"
A century later. however, it is said that the
monks of st. Gallen still relished the flesh
of the wild horse and partook of il when
ever the opportunity offered.
The horse has never been pronounced, like
the hog, an unclean animal, but its use for
food is prohibited both to the Jews and Mos
lens. and the ground for this prohibition
has never been made clear. Still, Burck-
hardt wrote in 1881 that an Arab sheik who
had no food to place before his white guests
killed his only horse to provide his table.
The Tartars of Russia used the horse as
one of their common articles of food at
least as late as the early part OF the last
century, and IL affords to-day the chief and
most highly priced article OF diet to the In
dams of the Argentine pampas.
The horse as an article of food Is, there
fore, nothing new. There is no doubt, also,
that horse flesh has been a boon among Ia
borers in some parts of Europe, who need
concentrated and highly nourishing food,
but can seldom afford TO buy beef. Whether,
however. there is the slightest ground for
the prejudice against eating horse flesh. IL
is undoubtedly strong and widespread, and
its removal is not in sight.
