The Cause of Watcrspouts.

4 waterspout is a meteorological
phenomenon OF peculiar character,
which is occasionally observed on
land but usually occurs at sea. 1t
consists of COnc-shaped pillar OF
condensed vapor which descends.
with the apex downward, from a
dense cloud and at sea attracts a
somewhat similar cone in a reversed
position from the position OF tho
water. The two may not inaptly be
compared to gigantic hourglass.
The cause Of this phenomenon Is sup
posed to be the gyratory movement
OF the air with such swiftncss as to
produce a vacuum in the axis Of ro-
tation, and the contact Of the lower
extremity OF such an axis with water
would effect the elevation of col
umn Of the latter to "A considerable
height. The most probable solution
OF the phenomenon Is that water
spouts originate in adjacent strata Of
air OF different temperatures running
in the opposite directions in the up
per regions OF the atmosphere. They
condense the vapor and give IL a
whirling motion so that 1t descends
tapering to the sea below and causes
the surface of the water TO ascend in
a pointed spiral till 1t joins that from
above.

Potatocs without Vines.

~ the Great Falls (Mont) county
fair there was on exhibition what the
inventor calls yineles5 potatoes.
About three months ago -. d. Darst.
discoycrer OF a new process for pro-
ducing potatoes, says the Chicago
Post, announced that he could grow
them I'm from two 20 three months in
layers on top OF each other and with
out vines. His experiments have
been conducted In a box eight feet
square. In the bottom Of this box a
layer Of Darsts preparation Is placed
20 the depth OF three inches, and a
number OF potatoes are planted there
in. Another layer Of three Inches Is
scattered over these potatoes and
more potatoes are planted in the
usual way until tho frame Is full.
Darst asserts that the box may be
built 70 almost any height. with lay
or after layer OF potatoes. without af-
fecting the producing quality OF bis
composition, and that no can have
new potatoes for the market la any
climate at any time Of the year.

swept on, and still the sound Of sing
iDg and prayer rose above tho awful
roar OF the torrent and the thunder
OF the mountain above. belching forth
from the central crater fiery bombs
and enormous swirls of cindor, sand
and smoke, which rose TO great
heights. Yard by yard the lava
swept onward; now n palatial villa

crushed down and disappear in
smoke; now n weepingpeasa would

poor woman was thus watching the
fate OF her earthly belongings from a
little eminence when a smaller crater
came roaring forth at her feet. She
turned TO fee. fell, rolled TO the bot

moment the lava flowed forth like

In England there is a tendency to
make rentpayers direct, instead OF
indirect, taxpayers. so as to bring
them into closer connection with the
Government and make it an object
70 them to vote thoughtfully on pub
lie expenditures. That is a much
wiser movement, observes the New
York Tribune. than the one proposed
at Rochester for a still further mar
rowing of the already too narrow
personal interest of the great body
Of citizens in the financial conduct OF
the government.

Bellows Falls Republicans Indifferent.

What was the matter with the repub-
lican rally Monday evening2 Nothing
whatever The town committee did
their part in advertising the rally;
the band played well; the speakers
were able; all that was lacking was a
few republicans to make an audience.
The republicans of Rockingham might
as well be told now as later that no re.
frigerator carriages will be sent out
to get them to the polls September 4
even if ii is a hot day.
Monday was hot day, fearfully hot,
and just before the hour of the rally
it began to rain a bit. The plan was
to have the band play in the Square
and have the speakers speak from the
opera house balcony. Because of the
rain, however, it was announced that
the rally would take place in the opera
house. At clock there were less
than 80 in the hall, but this number
was increased to about 250 later in the
evening, a third or more being demo-
crats.-Bellows Falls Times.
