THE WAY OF A TORNADO.
One That Yves Remarkable Both In
Appearance and Action.

Appearance ana Action.
"a tornado that was remarkable both
| in appearance and in action was one
| that travelled from Texas across Okla
hoIna and Indian Territory in May,
1906" says Earl w. Mayo in Ainslee's.
"A man in Sherman, Okla, who had ex-
ceptional opportunities for observing
| the storm, inasmuch as he was caught
up in it and carried several hundred
yards before descending to earth again.
| Is certain that 1t was not funnel
shaped. He says OF It:
1T looked to me like a great ball OF
vapor rolling over and over toward
me. When l first saw II distinctly, 1t
was at a hill perhaps an eighth Of a
mile away. 1t seemed TO be about $50
yards wide and 100 feet high. The mo-
ton was that of ball rolling over and
over, not spiral, and 1t came on rather
slowly, perhaps thirty miles an hour.
Whatever the ball of cloud struck was
lifted right off the ground.
al saw 1t pick up house after house
between the hill and me. and the cloud
seemed to be full Of flying boards and
blADeIS. w ueH the DSlll EcuShc0 III D.
C.'s, the house nearest me, it went
straight up off its foundations. The
house remained intact until 1t was
about twenty or twenty-five feet from
the ground, then 1t burst open and the
fragments few In all directions. 1t
looked like an exploding bomb. Tie
corn and cotton standing a hundred
feet on either side of the storms path
were uninjured. but whenever the
cloud struck the higher ground it
spread out, covering a wider strip Of
the surface.
"'When the cloud struck me, I went
up lightly and easily and the sensation
was not unpleasant, but l came down
hard and was badly shaken up, al
though not seriously injured. On the
highway north of Sherman fence wires
were torn from the posts and pounded
into the hard surface of the road dis
tance OF two or three inches.'"

The Deer Law.

Were the laws regarding the run
ming of deer with dogs and the num-
ber permitted to be killed by one
person in season strictly observed
this county would soon be a park
filed with those beautiful creatures
and there would be little difficulty
in almost any person going out and
securing one. There are some per.
sons, we are informed, who persist
in running deer with dogs. They
are known and are being watched
and some fine day the trouble they
are brewing for themselves may ap-
pear and pinch them with fine and
costs. There is no more reason
why the game laws should be vio-
lated than the law against horse
stealing.

The Modern Msnaeeris.

It is gratifying to note the adj
vance which has been made in the
housing and care Of animals in mem
ageries during the last twenty-five
or thirty years. Most of us can re-
member when the average animal
in "wild beast show" was doomed
to lead a miserable life Of confine-
ment in small cage; and sometimes
the attendants knew how the animals
should be fed and cared for, and
sometimes they did not.
In most large city menageries this
has been changed. The geological
Park at Washington is almost an
ideal place for such collection Of
animals. In the first place, it is
large. The park covers a tract Of
ground sufficiently diversified in
character to give each animal place
suited to its habits, with room for a
cOmmOdiOus house or kennel and
large yard. The bears have their
rocky caves; the buffalo own sec
tion of a considerable hill; the monk
eys, parrots and other tropical ami
mails are housed in building big
enough to permit good ventilation;
and the raccoOns have a large, dead,
hollow tree with many branches all
to themselves. There is large
creek where theaelephants can be led
down to bathe and while the place is
near enough to the city to be easily
accessible, it is not near enough to be
the daily resort of mere curiosity
seekers, who might find their chief
pleasure in tormenting the animals.
The result OF all this is that the
collection does not have to be con-
stantly recruited by fresh importa-
tiOns. The animals have a longer
lease of existence and some of them
even breed in captivity, thing al
most unknown in the old menagerie
days. The improved condition of
things is good economic measure
as well as a benefit to the animals
themselves.

vocation ReoitaI.

A new vocation has been placed
in the Presbyterian church and this
Friday evening a recital will be
given to enable the congregation to
judge of its capacity. Geo. H. Ry-
der of New York, an organist of
skill, will preside at the keys. E.
P. Crissman and others will sing
and thus a rare musical treat will
be afforded. The vocation is a COM
paratively new instrument and is
intended to take tho place Of pipe
organs. They are easier to keep in
tune and repair and, volume and
other points considered, cheaper
than the organs.

Eli Was Ahead.

At Fourth of July dinner in
Shanghai, China, the English Con
sui toasted the British flag. He
said Here is to the Union Jack
the flag of flags, the flag that has
fioated on every continent and
every sea for Thousand years, the
flag ON which the sun never sets.
1t was strong sentiment, and
the Americans were a little over
awed until Eli Perkins was called to
toast the Stars and Stripes. Look
lug into the proud faces of the
Englishmen he said Here is TO the
Stars and Stripes of the new repub-
lie; when the setting sun lights up
her stars in Alaska, the rising sun
salutes her on the rock-bouud coast
of Maine, 1t is the flag Of liberty,
never lowered to any foe, and the
only flag that whipped the flag on
which the sun never sets,
