CHICAGO, Aug liza severe wind and
rain storm passed over Chicago this even
ing doing much damage. 1t came from the
Northwest and approached so rapidly and
appeared so threatening that there was
general fear that cyclone was about
to burst on the city. The wind blew very
hard for about 10 minutes and was fol-
lowed by heavy fall of!orain. In the
business part of the city many signs were
blown down, awnings torn away and a
large number Of glass plate windows
blown. in. .s;
In Central Music hall many Of the win
dows were blown out Of the building and
scarcely an awning was left on any part
Of the Masonic Temple. The storm was
accompanied by terrific lightning which
struck a number of places. "A cupofa on
the Quincy house at 148 Halstead, street
was knocked to splinters by lightning and
the building was set on fire. The blaze
was not serious, however. The residence
Of DR.. Charles Duncan, on. West Adams
street was set on fire by lightning and
badly damaged A. number ut !pther
houses on the West side were also dam
aged by lightning. In the parks great
damage was done to the trees and shrub
berry.
The storm played havoc with telegraph
and telephone wires in the DOWN town part
Of the city, and many Of them were rem
dered useless.
During the height of the storm the
schooner America broke away from the
dock near the Wells street bridge and
despite the efforts of the crew Of the fire
tug Illinois, which pursued the schooner,
was driven by the wind down the river,
striking the Clark street bridge. One of
the masts of the schooner was broken
and the bowsprit was carried away.
The schooner Lake Forest was disman-

The vessel had just cleared the y river

The mercury will run into the upper bowl
from a height and thence by little chan
nels around the edge into the lower basin
The supply will be so arranged that there
is an almost continual flow. As il drops
into the lower bowl the mercury will be
conducted by a glass-lined iron pipe to q
reservoir tank, and then lifted by a motor

TO the upper bowl again. The weight Of
the mercury used will be about two tous,

cubic feet of quicksilver and the elevsl-
