100 DEAD
MANY INJURED
SNYDER, OK, DEVASTATED
BY DEADLY TORNADO.
STORM STRIKES AT NIGHT WHILE
POPULACE WAS SLEEPING.
Fire Follows Tornado And
Adds To Night Of Confu-
sion and Terror.

GUTHRIE, Okla, May 1.-The
death list of last night s tornado at
Snyder Is expected to exceed 100.
Ninety five bodies have been recovered
dozen persons are missing and given
up for dead. and of the forty-on seIi-
ously wounded seven are fatally hurt.
More than 100 others suffered less Sc
we're injuries.
Relief is being sent from nelghbor-
ing towns. From Oklahoma City
today went 100 men to dig graves and
seek the dead still in rulns, and also
a dozen undertakers with 100 collins.
Offers of financial assistance have
come from numerous cities. Gov.
Ferguson. of Oklahoma. has issued a
proclamation calling attention to the
needs of the stricken towns.
To add to the general confusion and
distress, after the tornado had passed,
fire broke out and burned up all that
remained of the buildings in the bust
ness blocks. So far 1t has not been
possible to find out whether or not shy
BODIES we're cremated. but it is highly
possible that such was the case.
An unidentified woman was picked
up dead, having been pinioned to the
ground by scantiing which entered
her left eye and came ont through the
pack of her head. Clarence Donovan.
rsilorad engineer, and Miss Fessen-
den were to have been married last
night, but had postponed the nuptiaIs
until this morning. Both we're killed.
HIS HEAD SEVERED.
Frederick Crump, a boy, had started
for cellar when a flying timber
struck him and severed his head from
his body. Debris was carried to the
northeast as far as Copperton, twelve
miles, and it IS reported that there are
more of the fragments of homes at
that town and IN that vicinity than
are IN the tornado path at Snyder.
About seventy five head of horses
and cattle were killed on the town
site A committee was set to work
tooay to remove carcasses
The Mayor of Snyder is having
much trouble arranging for the Eurial
of the dead. The confusion is great,
owing to the fact that there remains a
number of unidentified bodies at the
mcrgues. There is much suffering.
owing to the lack of provisions and
places to stay. What houses remain
in the town ale in bad condition and
unsafe for hahitation Besides there
is not room enough to care fol- the
homeless Bedding and wearing APP
parel are not lacking and despite the
efforts to succor the unfortunate they
are still in pitiful condition. Many
of the wounded could not be cared for
or 81 zen medical aid until 8 O'Clock
this morning. and by that time their
wounds were aggravated.

WORK OF THE SENSES
USE is TO SEND MESSAGES TO
THE BRAIN.
Taking Sense of Smell as an Example,
Or. Andrew Wilson Explains the
Operation Gone Through-Brain
centers Are the Responsible Agents,

Few OF us realize that our senses
form the means or media whereby we
are brought in contact with the world
in which we live and conversely
whereby that outer universe is en-
abled to act upon us" writes DR.. An
drew Wilson. Take as an example
the sense of smell. From the brain
arise the olfactory nerves. The fibers
OF these nerves descend into the nose
and when they are carefully examined
we ind their special endings in what
the Psychologist calls olfactory cells.
Each minute fiber essentially termi-
mates in microscopic cell, which may
be presumed to represent the receiver
of the messages the outer world pre-
sents in the shape of odoriferous par
ticles. The cells transmit their i'm
pressions through their nerves to the
smell center of the brain, which, as
far as we know, is situated close by
the ear region. Thence the informa-
tfon conveyed, sifted out and modified
| by the cells of the brain center, will
reach the ultimate court of appeal in
| some higher brain-area and will then
give rise to the consciousness of odor.
Shorn of technical details, the forego-
ing ideas represent what must occEr
in the operations of all our senses.
II the brain returns a message, re-
wives memory, as it were, and pro-
jects it outward and backward on to
sense organ, we then experience
those disturbances of sense to which
we give the name of illusions.
IF, for example, person sustains
some brain injury affecting the smell
center of the brain, he may be liable
to exhibit such a disturbance of sense.
Cases are known in which after such
an accident the patient has COM
planned of the sensation of a disagree
able odor. 1t may be possible that
such false sensation may not pass
out from the brain at all, but may be
located entirely within its gates. 1t is
much more likely, however. that a
real irritation of the smell nerve ends
occurs, just as we can only suppose
that If man fancies he sees a figure
that has no real existence the eye
itself must participate in the produc-
tion of the apparition.
practically the vagaries of our
senses may be held to originate in
the brain centers. They are the re-
sponsible agents and the nerves of
sense and their terminations in our
sense organs are simply the under of
ficials receiving the messages but ex-
ercising little control beyond that
which is concerned in their transmits,
sion. They are the telegraph clerks
of the system which have no concern
withfthe messages they dispatch
They merely transmit and transcribe
them

His Dream Worth Thousands

Andrew Sabel, twenty-one years old,
employed in the Keystone flour mill at
Nanticoke, some time ago in a dream
saw an invention for separating for
eign substances. from grain just be-
fore it was ground. He told some
friends and asked their assistance in
making it, but they laughed at him.
Preserving a clear conception of the
invention in his mind. he went to
work, built model, got a patent on
it last month. and has now received
an offer of $40 900 for the patent rights
from a Massachusetts firm The prin-
ciple of the invention is magnetism.

the grain and averts accidents to the

Youna Idlers of the Time.

Among the moderately well-to-do
there is an army of young men grow
ing uD in idleness in this country who
think it beneath their dignity to learn
trade or follow profession and
who, in many instances, form that
large class known as genteel idlers.
They have been pampered and petted
by their parents until they have come
to the conclusion that the world owes
them a living without their having to
work for it or give an equivalent in
toll. They are, in truth menace to
the peace and welfare of the country,
and those who encourage them to it
are as reprehensible as they.-Sioux

The Search for the Alkabest.

With flame and crucible and faith,
Within his little cave of stone
From day to day he works alway
Upon his search alone!
And through the years and years he
keeps
Thus constant to his ancient quest;
And men pass by and smile and say:
He seeks the Alkahest''
The secret is a secret still.
Though age has turned his hair to gray
But age turns not the constant will
That urged him yesterday.
And still the secret, like the fires
That DER the meadow marshes run,
Doth lead him famished with desires
Forever on and on
oh. heart OF mani Oh. sacred quest!
That will not let him pause or stay,
The Holy Grail or Alkahest-
What matter what he seeks alway?

But they do seek the larger light
