TYPHooNS OF THE TROPICS.
Their Fury Terrible When They
Reach Great Velocity.

The chief characteristic of tropical hur-
ricanes is their high wind velocity. No
storm of temperate ATTITUDES ever devel-
ops such appalling fury There are few
places in the interior of the United States
where the wind ever blows more than for
ty or fifty miles an hour, but in a West
Indian cyclone velocities of eighty, ninety
and one hundred miles are not uncom-
mon, and in 1897. at Cape Lookout. n. c.,

this means the destruction of small YES
sells and often proves fatal to large ones.
On land it means the demolition of weak
edifices and damage to crops, and where
the contour of the shore favors such an
operation continued gales of exceptional
force bank Up the sea five. ten, and even
fifteen feet higher than usual.
The last phenomenon should be diStin-
guiShed from the mysterious tidal wave
that sometimes accompanies hurricane,
but which is a momentary affair A surge
rising from ten to fifty feet will some
times rush in toward the land when a
tropical storm is prevailing. working in

During the early stages of their history
tropical cyclones rarely advance more
than eight or ten miles an hour At that
time their diameter is small. generally be-
tween 100 and 200 miles. After reaching
higher ATTITUDES and recurring they eX-
pand somewhat and their progress is
more rapid. Eight fun days elapsed after

rometer that accompanies them. From

than fifty miles, and yet the barometer

case in which the barometer at GuadelOupe
fell from 29.g 10 2I9 in seventy minutes
Much lower readings than this have been
observed however. Few storms of tenn

even this change Is far more gradual than

AfIOW tue New 10TH sum-
King Edward VII may like being "A
king; but he must sigh secretly over some
of the good things from which his added
dignity cuts him off.
Some unwritten law makes a combina-
ton king and clubman an offence against
the proprieties, but in the good days
when King Edward was Prince of Wales
he was one Of the most popular clubmen
in London, and no ordinary man was
more devoted than he to his clubs.
The Royal Yacht Club. the Jockey Club,
Whites and several others had the Prince
among their members, but, of late years,
he has been seen most often at the MARI
borough Club, of which he was the insti-
gator and I'm which he was prime mover
The club has only about 600 members:
and as the Prince himself was Chairman
of the Executive Committee, and always
presided, and one blackbal would exclude
there was absolutely no chance of a mem

like The membership was not controlled
by snobbishness. Monarchs and royal per-
sonages like Oscar IL. King George of
Greece. Leopold of Belgium, the Duke of
York, and the Duke Of Connaught are
among the members: but popular soldiers
sailors diplomatists and professional men
have been welcomed quite as warmly as
royalty, and the club represents, per-
haps. the best brains as well as best blood
Of England.
studied comfort and simplicity are the
keynote of the club. Amy touch Of osten-
tatiOn is avoided. The lounge. billiard
room, and morning room, are models Of
quiet comfort. The dining room. which

In London.
1t was thoroughly understood that the
Prince frequcnted the club for the sake Of
absolute freedom from ceremony, and that
he would resent any special attention or
recognition of his rank. Whenever he
was in London he dropped in at the club
late in the afternoon and usually after
the theatre and took a cue at billiards or
chatted with friends. II he spoke to a

AN EAGLE KILLED BY A FERRET
Thought 1t Was His Prey. But the
Mistake Was Fatal.

Mountain eagles are reported TO be
swarming on the Tomichs. near Gunni-
son. feasting on the thousands of rab
bits driven into the valley by the snow In
the mountains and foothills The ranch
men fear that the ravenous hunger of the
eagles will tempt them to attack human
beings.
One of the eagles met its match a few
days ago. Ferrets have been brought into
the valley to kill rabbits. This particular
eagle swooped down upon a ferret The
ferret caught the eagle by the throat and
the bird flew far into the air. Only
few minutes elapsed when the eagle came
tumbling down. The ranchman who had
watched the mid-air battle ran over 20
the fallen bird and found Ii dead. The
ferret had bitten through the throat and
was still clinging to the bird.
Tom Holland. Superintendent of Fish
cries said the other night that the eagles
were providing good sport for ranchmen.
and that several large ones had been
brought down with guns in the hands OF
ranchmen In the valley.

Forestry Work in the Enst.

During the past year the state Of
Pennsylvania has purchased more
than 100000 acres of land to be used
as forestry reservation. The policy
of using land that is not adapted to
agriculture for the purpose of timber
culture has been adopted by both
Pennsylvania and New York, the OBJ
jects being to insure n necessary
measure of rainfall to preserve the
purity Of mountain streams, to pro-
vide for the even flow of streams, the
power of which is utilized by manu-.
features and the like.
