OF the thirty Senators whose terms
viii expire March 3, at least eleven will
be succeeded by new men in The upper
chamber -Four others who are candi-
dates for reelection have such serious
opposition that their return is matter of
grave uncertainty.
IL is therefore possible that One-half
the Senator'S whose terms end month
and a half hence will retire. The pro-
portion is remarkably large, compared
with Senatorial experience Of recent
years. Only a party revolution has here
tofOre produced so large a proportion
of changes Ia Senatorial membership.
OF the Senators who retire. all but
two have made vigorous contests for
reelection. All the others 90 out Of

by the people in primary elections or
by the legislatures. against them.

by any analysis OF the changes, 10 es-
tablish any general conclusions as 10
the significance OF the changes. Some
men have been retired because of their
attitude toward the public questions 10
which their attention as Senators has
been directed. Others are defeated be
cause OF political reOrganizations. State
machines changing and forcing them
out.
People Not Satisfied.
Aside from the eleven who are de
feated and the four who stm have TO
tight for their careers, four others had
close and determined opposition and
were returned by anything but a gen
eraI Endorsement Of their States. The
one general conclusion, then, that seems
safe, IS that the people have not been
by any means satisfied with the recent
service Of their Senators. and that they
have been making changes where
changes seemed desirable and they were
able 10 unhOrse the men IN power.
The tendency toward placing younger
men in the Senate seems 70 be demon
strated again in the selection OF the
new division Of Senators. After March
the youngest Senator will be William
Z. Borah. Of Idaho. who is thirty-eight
years old. Al present that distinction

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 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. 1t extended
from n dark. irregularly shaped cloud
to the earth and was slightly curved.
It was of nearly uniform thickness
and leaned about thirty-fve degrees
from 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 noticed In the irregular
cloud a perfectly shaped spiral of sill
yer whiteness. 1t 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 1t was In wild commotion,
but the spiral itself seemed to stand
like great white ribbon coiled auger
shape and fixed secure. This spiral at
the time caught sight Of 1t was lying
In 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 passing tornado
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 cleo
trical spiral and that when In opera
ton 1t connects the earth with the
| cloud. 1t is manifest that such a spiral
would give the middle Of the tornado
funnel white appearance. But 1t is
not likely that one looking at It in its
upright form would detect its spiral
form. Indeed, 1t would have to turn
itself In most favorable position In
order to reveal to the eye Of the OBJ
server its spiral form.-Scientiflc Amer

Important to Women.

Women, for the next two months,
ought to study the advertisements of
the big and little stores with very
great care.
1t is an absolute fact that merchants
today are greatly overstocked and
are comp elled to sell their goods at
low prices.
The cold, rainy spring has unfortu-
nately done great harm to business
men. The spring season has been
practically failure.
Merchants are compelled In these
days of great order and keen competi-
tion to order their goods full year
in advance. They must order the
goods anyhow they cannot wait to
see what the weather is going to be.
Having ordered the goods, they must
pay for them, and then they must
sell them, even at a sacrifice, If
necessary.
Buying by the public, as all women
know, has been very slow this spring
season. All kinds of merchandise,
seasonable and otherwise, have sold
very slowly.
They have already ordered and
bought their supplies for next year,
and they must pay for them.
They have got to get rid of their
spring supplies now.
This is a chance that women should
not neglect. Between now and the
first of July there will be offered in
all the best stores In this city bargains
that will probably not be duplicated
for long time, certainly not until
some other extraordinarily unseason.
able spring, such as the past, shall
put the merchants In their present
unenviable 'predicament.
When you read the statement of a
reliable merchant telling you that
his store Is overstocked, you may
know that he is telling you the exact
truth. And when he tells you that
he is compelled to sell at sacrifice,
that he must clear out this seasons
supply of goods, get back at least
part of the money he invested a year
ago and get ready for the next big
selling period, you may know that he
Is telling the truth and Offering you a
genuine opportunity to spend your
money wisely.
We advise no woman to buy merely
because bargain is offered to her
Women should cultivate self-restraint
and they are compelled to cultivate
1t only too often, by limited pocket
book
We would not urge them now to &c
to the stores and buy anything unless
they actually need It.
But If there is anything you actu
ally need, anything that you wan,
now, or that you will want latter, Il
is positive fact that this is probably
as good buying period as you will
ever see. This we tell you in justice
to yourselves, while we regret the
loss that backward, cold and rainy
spring has inflicted upon merchants

ties.-New York Evening Journal.
