THE BIRTHPLACE OF CYCLONES.
Rocky Moansnin. Their Home, Their
Cradle and Beginning.

Cradle aud Beginning.
For the world west of the Mississippi
the Rocky Mountains are the points of
origin not only of the rivers and water
lows, but of the condensing of the
moisture Of the air, the banked SHOWS,
the :subterranean currents which form
the basis of the entire watershed. Their
cold attitudes seem to shed the waves
IN the plains below. and in their bat
ues generate the cyclones and Ii les
Ser windy terrors which devastate the
western plains. They are the begin
ning of the Notwithstanding billiards,
which tie UP the traffic of the metropol-
afan streets or chill beyond endurance
the homes of the poor. They are. in Il
word. the atmospheric top OF the CONT
.nent. and Il would. expect to md
among them the same excuses of ma
ture that are seen on the smaller scale
when the wind whips the flags off the
roofs of lofty buildings or when dark
clouds lower over the Jersey hills or
the gentle mountains. OF the Cumber-
land.
Yet. though the Rocky Mountains
are the beginning of such awful things
as cyclones and hlikzards, they are sin
gularly Immune from the terrible cf-
fects of these phenomena when they
reach their full growth.on the plains
below. Tha storms are sharp. strong
anu typical. They are dramatic. But,
lacking in the chance of IL long run
across the plains, where force is on

ally OF short duration and their nm

as ii all the phenomena, the storm
from its genesis to lis conclusion, were
given in miniature. In this respect the
storms OF the Rockies differ from those
Of the Swiss Alps. The latter are Sc

phe. The former complete themselves
briefly and then let the balance of the
continent wrestle with what they have
given forth.
Probably nowhere is storm and eli

it is by all odds The most valuable tract
Of land OF the farm. Study how it may

ously drained, and then tackle it. The
richest lands in Europe are the reclaim-
ed farms wrested from the bottom of
the North Sea in Holland. The redeem
ed peat bogs of Minnesota give fields Of
in%exbaustibie fertility. The muskrat
bogs Of Iowa will grow eighty bushels
Of orn to the acre when drained. The
wet lands of the Northwest. upon which
a settler would have starved to death in

ed, are richer and more productive than
those of the historic delta of the Nile.

Blanching Celery.

In the market garden all sorts of
schemes have to be followed TO save
labor in b%lanching the PLAINTIFF art Of
removing the natural bitter quality. At
times the plants are set close together
SO as to partially shade one another.
and finally boards are set upright
against the plant in the rows. At other
times al6ino varieties are employed that
seem blanched because they develop no
green or chloropAyl}ous matter in their
structure. But the bitter taste remains.
To have good celery the process of
earthing up must be continuous. 1t
requires a very rich soil. and if plenty
of water can be given so much the bet.

Even though the mother may not
give the children all the ir instruction
she may tighten the teachers labors
materially by giving them love and
respect for disciplined study. We
say "disciplined" advisedly,> because,
in most schools, the teacher encounters
far more difficulty from the undisci-
plined dispositions of her scholars
than from any form of stupidity or
ignorance. Too often the mother
allows the child to grow to school age
without the least idea of control; it is
the teachers business to make him
obedient. This view is certainly most
unjust to the teacher; if the mother
does not teach anything else, she
should, at least, train her child to
submit to legitimate authority.
