MT. Robert Farquhar has been with his father in the busi- ness a part of that time, and it is largely to his new ideas and energy that the business has grown as it has, and now that MT D. P.

The Way Cyclone. Turn.

The question is often asked, Why do
cyclones. ''whirlwinds' and tornadoes
all persist in the polar whirl from right
to left? Astronomical spectators have
supposed that all the planets once ex-
listed as rings OF thinly scattered matter
around the sun and that these rings
were annular segregations from a
vague. irregularly scattered mass that
turned one way in spiral courses, thus
determining the direction in which the
rings revolved. and all the rest from
this took the same course.
But" you say. why did the nebula
revolve at all" 1t grew from chaos,
and chaos presumably possessed an in
herent motion from right to left This
being the case. from that time to this
sun, moon. stars. planets. cyclones and
toDnadoes have adhered to the original

signs of one until the mother of the
family explained that she was the vic
tim and amiably volunteered the in
formation that she was ready to 20 to
the hospital at any time. She was a
remarkably healthy accident case, and
the young physician explained that he
would have to make an examination
and learn the true nature of her inju-
ries before taking her of.
She demurred somewhat wrnthfully
at this, but finally uncovered one arm,
where was to be seen a bad but not
serious burn OF a week before. II was
not a burn requiring hospital treat
