A TORNADO.
Tho Spiral That Connects the Earth
With the CLOUDS.


While in Kansas a few years ago |
had a very clear view Of a tornado. II
was about ten miles distant. passing
swiftly over the prairie II presented
the appearance OF long rope about
two feet IN diameter. 1t extended
from dark. irregularly shaped cloud
to the earth and was slightly curved.
1t was Of nearly uniform thickness
aud leaned about thirty Ave degrees
from a perpendicular toward the cloud.
A line drawn from where | stood to
the cloud world haveCnade an angle of
about forty degrees with the earths
surface After this ropelilxe projection
had parted | noticed In the irregular
cloud Il perfectly shaped spiral of sill
yer wilderness. Ii was shaped like
great anger 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 commotien.
but the spiral itself seemed TO stand
/ like a great white ribbon cooled auger
shape and 9Xed secure This spiral at
/ the time I caught sight of 1t was lying
J In a nearly horizontal position, the for
ward end being only slightly elevated.
I 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
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. have
formed the opinion that the center of
all tornadoes Is a perfectly shaped cleo
trical spiral and that when In opera
tion il connects the earth with the
cloud II is manifest that such a spira
, would give the middle Of the tornad,
funnel u white appearance. But 1t Is

WALKS OUT OF JAIL;
PUSHED IN AGAIN
Tucson Starr

uIsOu S5IdT-J
Although he had just finished serv
ing sixty days in the county jail
Juan Felix was not satisfied, and
yesterday morning created quite a
rough house in Meneger's store on
South Meyers street.
Felix was at one time employed
at Silver Bell, but insisted upon look.
ing on the wine when it was red, y
and then working over the counte-
nances of some of his fellow work
men, This kept up for some time,
but finally Felix was arrested, and
sentenced by the justice at Silver
Bel to sixty days in the county Jail.
Saturday night his sentence at the
county jail expired, and he was given
his liberty. Felix had considerable
money waiting for him in the sheriff's
office, and upon receiving this he
hied himself Immediately to Meme
gers store, where he purchased a
complete outfit of clothing. After
securing the wearing apparel Felix
proceeded 70 get drunk with the re-
mainder of the money, and about z
O'Clock Sunday morning made for the
store where he had made the pur-
chases. The proprietor happened to
be in. and Felix informed him that
he had a pair of shoes that were
being kept there Tor him. The pro
prietor of the place told him that he
was mistaken and Felix at once
started to clean out the place, with
the result that he was soon in Jail.
WhenF'eiix left Meneger's store
Saturday night, he was decked out
in all mis- glory. but while he was
drunk last night, someone touched
him for all his finery, and when
seen ia the city Jail yesterday morn
ing he was arrayed in disreputable
looking suit, and said that be had not
the slightest knowledge of what had
become of the other clothes.

PHOENIX RED LIGHT
SALOONS MUST OUT
phoenix Democrat.)

With the advice OF Justice Edward
Kent to investigate the saloons of the
Redlight district fresh in their minds
the territorial grand jury. with T.
! Herbert Taylor as foreman, went into
session this morning.
In delivering his charge to the
| grand jury. Justice Kent said that II
had been called to his attention by
District Attorney Bullard that saloons
are now allowed to do business in
close proximity to the Redlight dis
trict
Continuing further, he said that
much crime in Marieopa county with
which the peace officers and courts
have to deal is due to these saloons
being operated in the Redight dis
trict.
Justice Kent said that if in their
opinion charges that have been made
against these saloons, which are
known as the Cottage and Redlight,
are true that it is the duty of the
grand jury to investigate them and
take action If the evidence brought
out iustifies
Following so closely upon the dec
laration few days ago by District
Attorney Billiard that he would ask
the grandjury to recommend to the
board of supervisors the revocation
of the licenses of the Cottage and
Redlight saloons, Justice Kent's ad-
monition to the jury probably sound
ed the death knell this morning of
the Redlight joints.
Bullard will ask the grand jury not
only to recommend TO the supervisors
the revocation of the two saloons that
are now doing business, but that in
future the supervisors do not grant
license TO a saloon within 100 yards
OK the Redlight district.
With the board of supervisors rests
the power to revoke saloon licenses
If it can be shown that the saloons
are a nuisance, are conducted in a
disorderiy manner or permit women
or minors to loiter about them. Mem
bers of the board of supervisors are
said to be ready and willing to act
promptly on AMI suggestion the grand
Jury may make.

THE HUMAN THROAT.
1t Has a Sort of Little Brain That
Controls It's Actions.

Controls It's Actions.
Did you know that the throat has a
brain of its own? Few people are
aware of it, but it's a fact. There is a
small ganglia which exercises direct
control of the muscles Of the throat
and acts as its brain. OF course 1t is
subservient to the genuine brain, but
at the same time does a good deal of in
dependent thinking for itself. 1t is
very timid and suspicious of any
strange objects that come near the
throat.
For this reason it is very difficult for
q physician to operate on the throat.
Before anything can be done in this di-
rection it is necessary for the operator
to gain the confidence of the little brain
that dominates it. 1t frequently takes
weeks before this confidence can be
secured, and until it is secured 1t Is
impossible to perform an operation.
Woe to the man who attempts rough
treatment to the throat before gaining
ations will be resented with violent
paroxysms, first of the throat, then of
the diaphragm, and, If the operator still
persists, the patient will be thrown
into commissions. Still more curious is
the fact that this little brain has a
way it is almost impossible to ever
gain its confidence, no matter how
gentle the operator may be.

WHEN A G WERE LOW.
And a Turkey Dinner For Six Cost
Only II Cents.


Only IL Cents.
Columbus" said an antiquary of
Chicago, got a salary of $500 a year
less than a dollar a day. His captains
got $3.50 a year apiece. His crew got
1925 a month. To equip the expedi-
ton that discovered America cost So
500. The total cost of discovering
America was $1,000.
Lawyers nowadays, especially cor
poration lawyers, think nothing of
earning a million a year. In the reign
of Edward ". a baronet entered in his
diurnal, or diary:
"'Paid to Roger Fylpott, learned in
the law, for his counsel, 3 shillings.
with fourpence for his dinner
ministers often make today $4,000
or $4,000 a year, yet John Knox only
got 1920 a year, or 81 a week, and that
was a dollar more a week than Scottish
judges got.
"Small salaries, those" concluded the
antiquary, ''but we must remember
that in that epoch there were no trusts
to initiate prices, and a dollar went a
long way. In fact, a Christmas dinner
for a family of six would have cost in
John Knox's time: For the turkey, 10
cents; cranberry sauce, 2 cents; pota-
toes, 1 cent; turnips, l cent; celery, /
cent; plum pudding, 2 cents; total, IL
cents, or less than 3 cents a head"

Historical Accuracy.

Perish the thought that the novelist
or playwright should be tied down to
historical accuracy! Lady Dorothy
Neville quotes an amusing correspond
ence between Bulwer Lytton and her
brother:
My Dear Walpole-Here I am at Bath
bored to death. ] am thinking of writ
ing a play about your great ancestor, Sir
Robert. Had he not a sister Lucy. and
did she not marry a Jacobite?
My brother promptly replied:
MY Dear Lytton-I care little for my
family and still less for Sir Robert, but
/ know that he never had a sister Lucy.
so she could not have married a Jacobite.
However. this mattered little to Lord
Lytton, for his answer ran:
My Dear Walpole-You are too latel Sir
Robert had a sister Lucy, and she did
marry a Jacobite.
So, in defiance of history, the play
"Walpole" came to- be written.
