Cannons to Stop TOrnadOs.

Glen Spruapce's home paper, the
Smyrna Del.) Times, gives editorial
reference 20 a ridiculous story sent
out from Wichita as to how the town
OF Hennessey, OF, guards against
damage from cyclones by means Of
cannOns which are used to fire into
approaching tornado clouds: "a well
defined tornado passed over southern
Oklahoma yesterday afternoon and
would probably have blown away the
town OF Hennessey had not large
cannon been discharged into the fun.
mel shaped cloud when it was within
fifty yards of that town. The cloud
Immediately dissolved. This was the
second tornado which has passed
HenneSsey this summer and been
bursted by firing a cannon. The eli q.
z.ns recently purchased four Largo
guns and placed one in each quart er
of the town. A man is hired 10
watch the cannon, and when a tor
nado comes along he is to load and
fire. In this way no tornado can
blow away the town, the inhabitants
assert" The Times, continuing on
the subject of tornados and the art
Of destroying them with cannon, says:
at remains for Chicago man, E. D.
Belts, tc invent a cannon which he
asserts will prevent tOrnados in every
instance. He has offered it to the
government for general distribution
in tornado districts at the cost Of
manufacture. TIE annihilaior Is a
small cannon with a weather vane
aud an air trigger. TIE weather
yane is for the purpOse OF aiming
the cannon which rests upon vertl-
cal pivot. When a tornado ap-
proaches, the vaue turns the cannon
so it points directly at the funnel
shaped cloud. When the wind reaches
a velocity of slxly-fye miles an hour,
it will spring the trigger and fire the
cannon. The projectile fred into the
revolving cloud will throw it of it's
balance and it will scatter into
harmless zephyr"
