Captain Albano, of the Italian ship

brings an interesting story of curious
experience encountered by his vessel
in crossing the north Atlantic. The
Leonora was caught in one Of the cir
cular storms of which mariners coca

The Leonora sailed from Marseilles

airy conditions her voyage might easily
have been made in 35 days. The wind

BREEZY KANSAS YARNS.

How Accomplished Eastern Correspon-
dents Add to tho Unique Fame of Great
state.
Mr.. Coburn. the agricultural commits
sioner Of Kansas, charges all the noto-
riety that Kansas has suffered from
during the last quarter of a century to
eastern newspaper correspondents, who,
he says. have visited that State and
have tried to interest their readers
by inventing freaks and fabulous stor-
les.
1T has been left to the correspond
ents of eastern papers to portray Kan
sas to the world in all the various
shades and tints." says Mr.. Coburn,
from those of the gloomiest midnight
and deepest woe to brightest MONDAY
and heavens gliding. His finest work,
that which has always stamped him
as possessing the true artistic tenn
permanent, has been his treatment OF
weather conditions, especially our i'm
pulsive zephyrs and periods OF procras-
tinated rainfall.
THE lines OF thought always dis
cernible in his work are that We are in
a chronic condition of cyclone, drouth
or blizzard. variegated by invasions and
devastations OF chinchbugs and grass
hoppers In dealing with the former
describes the wind, which he says blew
a COW up against the side OF barn
and held her there for twelve days. or
until she starved to death. The same
wind, says this veracious chronicler,
blew the cracks out OF the fences,
sucked a cistern from the ground,
moved the township line and changed
the day OF the week. while it yanked
the bunghole out OF a barrel and
burned it in a sandhill so miles away.
"On another occasion. as he AYERS,
when stopping at farmhouse a ey-
clone came up and he, with the family,
went into the cellar The house was
soon blown away; presently the cellar
went, too, rolling over and over like
a silk hat. He was early spilled out,
but with infinite labor dragged him
self back in the teeth Of the wind. in
tending to take refuge in the hole the
cellar came out of, but to his great con-
sternation he found that the hole had
been blown away also.

three are the only ones in the history
of the observatory when the precipita-
ton has reached 1000 millimetres.
Seven kinds Of rain gauges are in use
at the observatory. embracing the best
French and Italian. as we'll as the Span
ish and German. The gauges are cylin-
drical and square. and shaped ike a
truncated cone inverted. Some are tall
and some shallow, and some of them are
on the roof and some are on the ground
or near it. With all of them in opera
ton the result is not likely 10 be far
from right. They all reported five days
of especial mistiness last month, IN
which the total fall was tribe more
than three feet When you come TO
consider that that is more than the total
annual rainfall of two-thirds of the
United States. you get some idea CT
whether it was wet or not in Manila
last month. California has only two
thirds that rainfall, and some parts Of
the State less than one-third. At Port
land, Ore, and at Olympia, Wash. the
annual precipitation is greater. but with
these exceptions there is scarcely place
in western State whose annual rain
fall was not exceeded by that OF these
FIVE days in Manila. On the 9Th Of
July the rainfall was S.26 inches; on the
10th, 6.25; 18th, 6.67; 18th, s.9S; and
on the Goth, 5.S2-a total for FIVE days
of 36.9S inches. There was not a single
bright day in the month, although there
were only FIVE days on which the sun
did not shine al some part of the day

the same blow goat happened 10 get

until he looked as clean as a skinned

much like Mexican dog with horns
that it was placed on exhibition at the
worlds Fair, attracting attention as
one OF the great curiosities of the CEN
fury.
The eastern correspondent is equal
ly at ease in dealing with the intervals
occurring between showers, which the
fertility of his imagination and the ex-
treme elasticity of his conscience per-
NIT him to describe as 'droughts.'

he it is who says this distressing
scarcity of moisture is forced upon us
by the corporations that have cornered
the water supply to put into their
stocks, and to such an extent that farm
ers have to soak their hogs over night
in order TO make them hold swill.
Another remarkable story is told
of man who was driving over the
divide north Of Dodge City, when a
shower came up, He was riding

by fastening cleats between the axles
with spaces of half an inch between the
cleats. The water fell so fast that it

water struck barbed wire fence and
damned up until the water ran over
the top wire of the fence. This was
because the rain came SO fast that 1t

"On the same trip the traveller says
he saw a jack rabbit drown while 1t
was jumping through the air. The
same traveller declares that within half
an hour the water was three feet deep
1t is hardly just for Mr.. Coburn to
charge correspondents of eastern pa

true. The people of Kansas themselves
have circulated these stories, and tho
worst of them have come from the

The observatory has been keeping sta
tistics of rainfall and other things since
1865, and in all that time there has been
only one month that was wetter than
the one just passed. That was Sep
TENDER, 1867, when 1903 millimetres,
or 61672 inches fell. There was one
other month when the precipitation got
up to respectable proportions in COM

July, and that was August, 1877, when
it erached 10975 milLmetres. These

the sides OF the streets. Along the
lines the men on outposts duty stood
their tours in trees or in boats. and
sometimes had to swim to their posts.
According to the records at the OBJ
servatory the month of July was pc
culiar in several particulars. Its rain
fall was almost unprecedented, and
nearly all Of it occurred in the three
weeks between July 2 and %. In that
period the city was under the influence
of various cyclonic centers that ira
versed either the Pacific or the China
| sea. There were three distinct ty-
phoons The first was on the Pacific
side of the Luzon and drifted up around
| the north end of the island, passing on
| to Formosa and the westernmost OF
the Japanese islands. Curiously it was
the influence of this disappearing storm
that on July and 10 gave Manila
taste of real ability to rain, the pre-
cipitation for those two days being 141a
inches.
The siganls were hardly down after
this storm when they went up again
for a new one that had formed in the
! China sea to the west of Luzon and
marched slap bang onto the continent
of Asia. Then came the star of the
whole aggregation. OF this one the
observatory bulletin for July says:
This storm, perhaps the most re-
markable of the month, affected the
weather of Manila more especially on
July IS, 10 and 20. On the 18th the
storm was northeast and far distant
from Luzon, and its cyclonic influence
+, reached out at the same time to Japan
and the Philippines; the centre seemed
| to move them with a marked tendency
westward toward the island of For
mosa, but ON and after July 10 it in
clined northward, and on July 81 the
center was off Shanghai, where the
storm ragged with great intensity, do
ing considerable damage. The baro-
meter fell to 20 inches
In the three days thus specified Ma
Mia caught terrific downpour. Near
ly two feet Of water fell, and the town
that had been travelling in rowboats

Then the real joy of life in Manila be-

Sail was quickly made on the imperiled

deadly maelstrom.
Shipping men and captains now in
port think that the whirlpool In which
the Leonora was caught originated from
the West India hurricane meeting sud-
denly at that point the prevailing air
currents which this month have been
steadily blowing from the east.
About this time last year the Ger
man ship Fritz was caught in a similar
circle storm. but managed to get free in

any idea of the point to which her
head was lying. Toward morning |
found that the Leonora was sailing in
a circle.
There was no disputing this curious
fact. We verified it in dozen ways.
Finally it was apparent that the circle
to which the ship rigidly adhered was
about two miles across. Her speed was
terrific. The men sickened one by one,
falling to the deck in acute nausea"
