ARMY AND NAVY NEWS

suggested by some naval officers that paint
used on shipboard would communicate fire,
and an effort is to be made to obtain
paint which is not inflammable. The ord
nance officers believe that in time of war
the contact of shell with the side of
ship might possibly cause Ignition when no
other damage was wrought, ana that by
means of the paint with which the structure
is covered. The ordnance officers at the
naval proving grounds at Indian Head, Md,
will have erected structure which re-
sembles the side of a ship and covered with
such paint as is used in the service BY
that means it is expected to determine by
practical tests and in definite way the
extent to which there is danger from fire
on account of the infiammability of paint.
All Soldiers Must Practice.
In a general order to the army, Cen
Duvall. acting chief of staff, says that, one
object Of target practice being to dissent
nate among the people the knowledge
taught as far as practicable, and 1t being
therefore desirable that all men leaving
the company shall have received some in
struction, all enlisted men Of the line pres
ent at the post during any part of the
practice season will, if practicable, take the
prescribed course of rifle practice so far as
the period Of their service permits.
Fine Record With Big Guns.
The 7th Company Of the Coast Artillery

Fort Banks, which is claimed to beat all
the records in this country. The gunners
fired Pinch disappearing guns so rapidly
and so accurately that they made six hits
out of six shots in minutes and 40 seconds

A TORNADO.
The Spiral That Connects the Earth
With the Clouds.

The Spiral That Connects the Earth
With the Clouds.
While In Kansas a few years ago I
had a very clear view Of tornado. 1t
was about ten miles distant, passing
swiftly over the prairie. 1t presented
the appearance Of long rope about
two feet in diameter. It extended
from a dark, irregularly shaped cloud
to the earth and was slightly curved.
It was Of nearly uniform thickness
and leaned about thirtyf1ve degrees
from a perpendicular toward the cloud.
A line drawn from where I stood to
the cloud would have made an angle OF
about forty degrees with the earth's
surface. After this ropelike projection
had parted I noticed in the irregular
cloud a perfectly shaped spiral of sill
yer whiteness. It was shaped like a
great auger and extended from the
point where the funnel or rope had
been connected with the cloud forward
in the direction the cloud was moving.
All around it was in wild commOtion,
but the spiral itself seemed to stand
like a great white ribbon cOiled auger
shape and fixed secure. This spiral at
the time caught sight Of 1t was lying
in a nearly horizontal position, the for
ward end being only slightly elevated.
l have never met any one who has
seen this spiral in the tornado cloud,
but by one who came dangerously near
being caught by a passing tornado I
was told that the center Of the whirl-
ing funnel was as white as milk. From
his statement, taken in connection
with my own observations, I have
formed the opinion that the center of
all tornadoes is perfectly shaped elec-
trical spiral and that when in opera
ton it connects the earth with the
cloud. 1t is manifest that such spiral
would give the middle Of the tornado
funnel a white appearance. But it is
not likely that one looking at it in its
upright form would detect it's spiral
form. Indeed, it would have to turn
itself In a most favorable position in
order to reveal to the eye of the OBJ
server its spiral form.-Scientific Amer

A PRINCE, OF DWARFS.
Career of the Famous Count Joseph
BoruwIaski.

BoruwIaski.
The most famous dwarf who has
fourished in the British isles Is un-
doubtedly Count lJoseph Boruwlaski,
whose long life-he died at the age Of
ninety-eight years-is another example
Of the longevity Of his kind. Boruw-
lask stood only three feet three inches
in height. This did not prevent him
from mixing in the best; court society
Of the Georgian period. He was very
amiably received at Carlton House by
George ". few weeks before that
monarch's coronation. So struck was
the king by this dwarf's physical grace
and mental accomplishments that he
remarked to Charles Mathews, who
had brought the little man, "If I had
a dozen sons I could not wish them a
more perfect model of elegance than
the count"
Boruwlaski's last days We're spent in
peaceful retirement In the city of Dur
ham. He tells us that in spite Of the
theory that dwarfs grow all their life
he never added quarter Of an inch
to his three feet three inches. When a
lady asked him for his autograph, he
sent these lines:
Poland was my cradle,
England Is my nest,
Durham Is my quiet place
Where my weary bones shall rest.
He had known Marie Antoinette as
child. and he was living when Queen
Victoria was crowned. 1t is In the
Church Of st. Mary the Less at Dur
ham, close to the cathedral, in which
his body lies, that you read the follow
ing inscription:
"Near this spot repose the remains
Of Count Joseph Boruwlaski, a native
Of Pokucia, in the late kingdom of Po-
land. This extraordinary man meas
ured no more than three fetD three
inches in height, but his form W>s we'll
