TIVE ECLIPSE CYCLONE.

The remarkable discovery that n
total eclipse of the sun develops a
cold-air cyclone as the shadow sweeps
across the earth hes been made by Mr..
II. c. Clayton through a study of the
meteorological phenomena observed
during the eclipse of May. 1900. Dur
ing the eclipse the winds were pract-
ically reversed in direction. as the
umbra moved from one side of the
continent to the other. and there was
an outflow Of air from the shadow TO
a distance of 1900 miles. AS the shad-
ow progressed about 1000 miles an
hour "the eclipse cyclone. to keep
pace with it, must have continuously
formed within the shadow and must
have dissipated to the rear almost in
stantly." Mr. Clayton believes that this

AN AIR TORPEDO.

Mr.. Guentner, the United States con-
cul at Frankfort, reports that Major
Unge of the Swedish army has recent
ly received a subsidy from his govern
ment for experimenting with a new
form of torpedo, which is propelled
through the air by the pressure OF a
gas generated within the torpedo by
4 slowly burning material. The pres
sure Of the gas gradually increases,
and the speed of the torpedo gains in
proportion, the impulse being devel-
oped by the pushing of the gas against
the air as it escapes from the bottom
of the torpedo. When the torpedo is
started its velocity is slight, but at the
trials already made the projectiles
have traversed a distance of 1G,OOO
feet. The charge carried by the tor
pedo may consist of any explosive
capable of being ignited by a shock.

Rev~rsion "a Old Typos.

Darwin, in his observations upon the
variations of swine under domestica-
ton, has the following touching the
tendency of domesticated animals TO
revert to their feral (wild) type:
The common belief that all domesti-
Gated animals, when they run wild,
revert completely to the character of
their parent stock, is chiefly founded,
as far as | can discover, on feral pigs.
But even in this case the belief is not
grounded on sufficient evidence; for
the two main types of S. scrofa and S.
indicus have never been distinguished
in a feral state. The young re-acquire
their longitudinal stripes, and the
boars invariably re-assume their tusks.
They revert also in the general shape
Of their bodies, and in the length OF
their legs and muZzles. to the state OF
the wild animals as might have been
expected from the amount of exercise
they are compelled to take in search
Of food. In Jamaica the feral pigs
do not acquire the full size of the
European wild boar, never attaining
greater height than twenty inches at
the shoulder.
In various countries they reassume
their original bristly covering, but in
different degrees, dependent on the eli
mate; thus, according to Roulin, the
semi-feral pigs in the hot valleys OF
New Granada are very scantlly clothed,
whereas, on the Paramos. at a height
of from 1000 to 5000 feet; they ae-
quire a thick covering OF wool lying
under the bristles, like that on the
truly wild pigs of France. These pigs
on the Paramos are small and stunted.
The wild boar of India is said to
have the bristles at the end of its tail
arranged like the plumes of an arrow,
whilst the European boar has q simple
tuft; and it is curious fact that many,
but not all, Of the feral pigs in ia
maica, derived from q Spanish stock,
has a plumed tail. With respect to
color, feral pigs generally revert to
that OF tho wild boar; but, in certain
parts Of South America, some of the
semi-feral pigs have a curious white
band across their stomachs; and In
certain other hot places the pigs are
red, and this color has likewise occa-
sionally been observed in the feral
pigs of Jamaica. From these several
facts we see that with pigs, when feral,
there is strong tendency to revert
to the wild type: but that this tenden-
cy is largely governed by the nature
of the climate, amount OF exercise, and
other causes of change to which they
have been subjected.

CuriositIes in Studying the Dictionary.

There are two words in the whole
range of the English language, says
Tit-Bits, that contain all the vowels in
their regular order. They are abstemi-
Gus and facetious. The following words
each have them In irregular order:
Authoritative, disadvantageous, en-
couraging, efiicacious, instantaneous,
lmportunate, mendacious, nefarious,
precarious, pertinacious, sacrilegious,
simultaneous. tenacious, unintentional.
understandable, unequivocal, undis-
coverable and vexatious. 1t is usually
said that there are but seven nine-let-
tered monosyllable words in English
viz: Scratched, stretched, scrunched,
scranched, screeched, squelched and

TOADs IN BERMUDA.

Bermuda is remarkable for the
scarcity of land vertebrate animals. 1t
possesses only one species of reptile,
lizard, and until Is or 20 years ago
there were no amphibians. At that
time some of the huge Guiana toads
were imported from Demarara by the
owner of a Bermudan garden, who
thought these animals would clear his
plants of insects. The toads thrive on
the insects and spread over the island
and now they are regarded with dis
favor because they get into the els
terms which hold the rain water that is
universally used for drinking purposes
in Bermuda.

Production OF Tea in tho Unl..d state.

Production OF Tea In the United State.
Secretary Wilson, in his forthcoming
report, will say: In my last report
attention was calico to the efforts be-
ing made by the department in the
production of tea. For several years
DR.. Charles U. Shepard, public-spir-
tied citizen Of Summerville, S. c.. has
been experimenting with view to OBJ
tanning information as to the prac-
ticability of producing American tea,
and his efforts promised so much of
value that it seemed proper for the
department to render assistance in
certain directions. To this end ar
rangements were made with DR.. Shop
ard whereby certain machinery, etc.,
were to be furnished in order to settle
some questions pertaining TO the COM
mercial production Of tea. Through
out the work the question of labor has
been an important one; but through
DR.. Shepards efforts there has been
adopted method for utilizing the
labor of colored children. What DR..
Shepard has accomplished in this mat
ter in his region could undoubtedly
be brought about IN other sections CT
the South, where much idle labor is
awaiting proper utilization DR.. Shep-
ard has established schools on his
place. and in these the children are
received and educated, and at the same
time arc taught 20 pluck tea and per-
form other work In connection with
the production OF the crop. For such
work fair wages are paid, and in this
way interest is maintained The ex-
periments so far conducted have

ton, ard whether the crop could be

Neptune bearing a resemblance to the

liar streaks were seen on Uranus. Sat-

ELECrRIcIrY ON RAILROADS.

The substitution Of electricity for
steam on the trunk line railways OF
Great Britain is advocated by Superin-
tendent Langdon of the Midland Rail-
road. According to his estimates, the
roads could be worked much more
economically with electric traction.
Taking the line between London and
Bedford, distance of so miles, as a
basis of comparison, he AYERS that a
saving of nearly two cents per train
mile would be effected by the use OF
electricity. There would also, he says,
be a great saving of coal, amounting to
5000 600 tons per annum If all the
British ROADS were run by electricity.

Early Marriages.

Judge Dellenbough of Cleveland.
who is in the divorce division OF the
Court OF Common Pleas in that city,
says that the number of divorce cases
coming before his court is appalling
and lie attributes much of this domes-
tic unhapplness to too early marriages.
or marriages on too short acquaint-
ance. He says:
"Two-thirds Of the divorce cases that
come before me are due to early mar
riages. believe that the same would
hold true in all divorce courts. Young
people marry before they are old
enough to form sensible views on mat
rimony or on the character of those
they marry. There have been young
wives here weeping for divorces who
must have been SO young at the time
they were married that spanking would
have been more appropriate. Young
men are as great fools as young
women.
There is another class of foolish
marriages in which matrimony is con-
tracted before the parties have been ac-
Quainted long enough to know each
ether thoroughly. These hasty and un-
fortunate marriages are usually con-
tracted by very young persons, so that
it comes back to the same proposition
OF too early marriage. When the inju-
dicious marriage has been made there
is nothing left but a life of misery
for each of the parties to it or the
divorce court, and so the divorce rec
ord keeps growing. 1t is shameful, and
the lessons of the divorce court ought
to teach young people who are in a
hurry to get married to go SLOW"
