this Oklahoma artilleryman is not at his
cannon, what would happen TO the town
when the twister came? With my au-
.omatic machine the twister can't steal
my marches"
In letter on the subject Mr.. Belts
says:
"Once more we have witnessed the
direful effects of the merciless cyclone.
and once more the dollar-hunting deni
zens of the earth realize the Importance
of some scheme to cheat this soulless
monster of it's prey, and once more do
offer TO this government of the people
and for the people my device for ami
hilating said twister."
The terms on which he offers his
patent rights to the government are
that the annihilators be furnished to
the people at cost. He also provides
that other republics shall have the ma
chimes at a profit of ten per cent, but
that monarchies shall be made to pay
price that will yield 100 per cent profit.
For himself Inventor Belts asks moth
ing.
1t was the origianl intention of Mr..
Betts that his machines should not be
placed within mile of any church, "a.
such an act would be sacrilegious,
churches being under Providential pro-
lection" On thinking it over Mr.. Belts
concluded as follows:
but l can now see wherein my zeal
ovcrbalanced my better Judgment, and
viii, therefore withdraw that clause
and recommend that they be placed on
churches free OF charge"
The cannon, or mortar. which Mr..
Bctts would employ has caliber of
two inches. The projectile is of rub
bcr, containing an explosive charge
and fuse. SO II will explode when it
reaches IA vital spot in the tornado. An
air drum is attached to the trigger.
When n pressure of 81 pounds to the

Mr.. Belts AYERS unlimited faith In the

II should not hesitate TO face the

The principle on which the ami
hilator depends for its efficacy has been
familiar TO generations OF seataring
men. When ship is threatened with
destruction by waterspout, which is

custom to send n cannon ball, II the

Ayers, VIII Make . Sieve OF
Any Hunnsl-Ohapsd Cloud

The invention of the Cyclone an
nihilator" is announced by +. ID. Belts,
an artist, whose studio Is at "a Adams
street. Chicago. The device has been
offered to the United States govern
mcnt by the inventor, who asserts ii
will blot out cyclones in every instance,
|. aying no bad effect. He makes his
offer to the government with some pro-
Vi sos, but asks nothing in the way of
pccuniary compensation. The hven-
ton was made in the interest of hu-
wishe. to benefit the people by provid-
ing them with these annihilators he will
turn over to it his patent rights.
The annihilator, says the Chicago
Tribune, is small cannon with a
weather vane and an air trigger. The
weather vane is for the purpose of
aiming the cannon, which rests upon
vertical pivot. When cyclone ap-
proaches the vane turns the cannon so
ii points directly at the funnel-shaped
cloud. When the wind reaches aveloci-
ty of 65 miles an hour it will spring the
trigger and fire the cannon. The pro-
jectile fired into the revolving cloud
will throw il OFF its balance and it will
scatter into harmless zephyr.
Mr.. Belts says he got his inspiration
from a story OF hunter VINO was over
taken on prairie in Iowa by tornado.
The storm was bearing down on him
with such speed he had no chance to get
into cyclone cellar. The only other
thing TO do was to take shot at the
syrating column. He let go both bar

Non-Treating Club.

when you want drink, take it,
and don't imagine you will offend
any one by not asking eight or ten
to join you'll says the New York
World.
This is the chief maxim of the
"Non Treating Club, an organiza:
ton which, although only six months
old, possesses a membership of over
sixty thousand.
The particularly brilliant featu e
connected with this club which
first appeals to the average man is
its glorious POSSIBLE iesfor economy.
Total abstinence is not required
by this convenient pledge-merely
a promise mot to treat.
AS the little circular accompany
ing the button which is the badge
of membership states, 1.-The treating
habit, as every man in the world
knows, is increasing rather, than
decreasing, and is responsible for
the making of many drunkards.
''Have one with me is phrase that
many man has used because of the
desire not to appear small and con-
form to the usages of drinking men,
and and is frequently accepted more
to avoid discussion and not to give
offense than because the beverage
is desired"
The custom which is being fought
against is that one which entails
every man of a groupo of eight or ten
treating the others, SO that the re
suit is that each individual par
takes of eight or ten drinks, which,
presumably, is larger quantity
than he desires, and certainly is
more than is good for him.
AS nearly as the layman can get
at it the object OF the society is to
accept drink if it is offered, but
not to feel under any obligation to
pay 1t back. A view of the mystic
button displayed at the critical
moment when the drink is ION you, ;"
obviates any obligation on your
part.
Naturally thousands have rushed
to avail themselves of these pecu-
liar privileges.
The society was organized in
Chicago SEPTEMBER 5. 1898, under
the direction of K. T. Monet, who
is the President.
