common 10 the different seasons.
During the winter, snowstorms were
numerous and severe over the northern
part Of the state, in decided contrast
TO the weather that prevailed over the
southern part. where the prevailing
drouth. whilo relieved to some extent
during March, was not thoroughly
broken until May. The only other re-
Elarkable feature OF the years weather
worthy OF special mention was the long

Niacara's Understudy.

Though practically unknown to the
world at large, the falls of Iguazu
stand second only to Niagara. The
Iguazu River forms the boundary be-
tween Argentina and Brazil. Twelve
miles above it's junction with the Par
ana the river bed bends almost at right
angles. The main volume of water,
moving with great velocity round the
inner or Brazilian bank, rushes into
long, narrow gorge, at one point in
which the waters make clear leap
of two hundred and ten feet, This
gorge does not intercept the whole vol
ume of the river water, and the.surplus
currents rush out past it into the wide
elbow formed by the bend, descending
in two leaps of 100 feet each in the
horse shoe called the Argentine Falls.
The distance from where the waters
enter the Brazilian pit to their last
cascade on the Argentine side is six
thousand feet.

The Cyclones Trail.

The farmers of Bureau County, ILL.,,
are engaged in collecting cyclone
curios. They gather them from their
own fields, for the twisters that have
prevailed in this section of the State
this summer have cut some queer
antics.
The first violent blast was at Men
dota, where wide swath was cut
through the town, blowing down
houses, pulling trees by the roots, or
breaking the trunks as if they had
been pipe stems and killing five people.
Later another disturbance Of the ele-
ments blew down a circus tent and
killed one of the pioneer scouts who
had followed Fremont across the coun-
try in his historic expedition.
The articles that have been picked
UP in the fields form curious collec-
ton, and when the finds of all the
collectors are put together they form a
veritable museum. One man has a
wedding skirt that is known to have
belonged to a woman in the south end
of the county. Another has the limb
of a tree that was broken off a tall
oak ten miles distant. Another man
has half of a door frame aud a lot of
new lumber, the owner of which can
not be located inside the county.
Another man picked up bundle of
checks and notes that had been blown
from the neighborhood of Princeton.
There are great variety of other
articles that are known to have trav-
ersed the entire length of the county
