LOOK FOR TwIsTERs
Worries and Fears of the Nervous I'm
the Tornado Belt.

TO the region where tornadoes are
common. when is pretty narge ter
ritory, nearly every family has one
member who has highly developed
fear of storms. When warm wealth
er and the cyclone Put in their ap-
pearance the scary one begins the
preparation of a safe retreat, proba-
bly, in the cellar under the house: or
II he happens to be thirty-third de-
gree member of the Amalgamated
Order of Fraidcats, he has cave
lined with reinforced concrete COP
structed somewhere IN the back
yard
In his cave or cellar retreat the
coward puts a bed. and fhe has 1t
bad he is apt to ley in a stock of pro-
visions and barrel of water. During
the day the other members OF the
family have good deal of fun chat
ting the coward but he gets even
at night by disturbing their sleep.
Among other peculiarities of the
cyclone coward Is an optical illusion
which possesses him about the time
the bass begin to bite. From then
until harvest time every cloud he sees
assumes funnel shape ana he Is
sure we are going to have twister.
And he never misses a cloud. When
he sees one. he gets up, gathers up
his clothes and tn einsurance papers
and proceeds to try to herd the fam
fly to safety.
II the coward happens to be the
man of the house he sometimes sue
ceeds in dragging the sleepy wife and
| children othe cellar while he looks
out the door until gentle summer
shower begins TO fall. But II the
coward is the wife she never has
| much success with the old man be-
yond getting him angry. and because
| OF her duty to the children she takes
| them to the 'fraid hole, abal doninS
| the husband to his fate-and sleep.
| About once in 100000 times the
| cyclone coward makes good bet
and then his name is numbered with
| the survivors. But It costs him lot

WARM AIR ABOVE THE COLD.
A Curious Fact Recently Observed
By Mctcoroligists.

Students of the upper air we're as
tonished when :he little balloon they
sent up, with self-recording ther-
mometers, told them one day that in
the high atmosphere there is a stra-
tum which is warmer than the air
Immediately below II. No one has
yet explained this strange inversion
Cf temperature, but 1t has now been
observed so many times in different
part of the world tnat there can be
no doubt about II.
It was discovered in 1891, almost
simultaneously, by Mr.. Teissereno de
Bort near Paris and by Prof. ASS
mann in Germany. Since then near
ly all the balloons that have risen
above 10000 feet in central Europe
have penetrated this stratum OF
warmer air. No one knows yet its
upper limits.
In England 1t has ben found that
the average height of the layer of
warmer air is about $4,000 feet
In the last three years DR.. a. Law
renee Rotch has set afoat seventy
seven balonssondes at st. Louis.
Most OF those which rose higher than
$4,000 feet entered the stratum of
warmer temperature.
On October 8, for instance, the
temperature at 47,600 feet was
80 degrees Farenheit. while at the
greater altitude of 54 100 feet the
| temperature had risen to ~ de-
| Grees. TWO days later the coolest
temperature, so degrees. was
found at 39,700 feet. while only
$500 feet higher the temperature
rose to 60 degrees.
This warmer stradium of air has
not yet been discovered over the
tropical Atlantic, but the noteworthy
fact has been established that above
the equator in summer 1t Is colder
at a height of eight miles than 1t Is
in winter at the same height in north
temperate regions.
| Meteorologists now think they
have reason to believe that this
warmer air exists throughout the
tropical regions at heights exceeding
$4,000 feet and that it is probably a
universal phenomenon existing al
some height all around the globe.

TRYING TO SHIFT THE BLAME

The Billings Enquirer recently went
after the republicans, blaming them
being the chief supporters Of govern
mcnt by niunctions and one man rule
and declared the democrats spotlcss in
this brand Of vicious legislation by
corporation Judges.
Vet in the city of Billings demo
cratic judge, appointed by a democrat
ic governor, gave the first injunction
against labor that was ever given by
district judge in Montana.
The case was Mayor Lindsay, White
shirt anarchist of Helena, against the
Montana Federation of Labor, the
unions Of Billings, Bear Creek and
and Red Lodge.
Lindsay fought the battles of the
scnb phone company and against union
labor in Helena. The unions through.
out the state rctalnted and the bottom
went out of Lindsay's business, the
same way as the bottom went out Of
the republican fool dinner pail.

saddle the blame on another employee
or get another employee TO take the

was nobody's business.
A few weeks ago in the federal court
in Helena, we listened to great har-
augue given by Federal Judge on the
wickedness of union men trying TO
prevent scabs from working. In SEN
fencing the union men Judge Hunt de-
elared that God gave man his hands
to work with and that no man had
the right to prevent another from
working if they desired. OF course,
this meant a union man preventing a
scab from working and not corpora
tion from preventing a union man from
using the hands God gave him to work

tory on the present impotency of the
policy Of organized labor. If there
had been just one socialists on the floor
of the assembly at Carson City, he

Another case where the Nevada
working class lamentably showed is
weakness, the general weakness of the
working class is that il has no organ,
no power of the press whatever to
counteraet the lying attacks made by
the debauehed and hopelessly partisan
press of its enemies. A journal stating
the union side should have been eircu.
lated every morning exposing the lies
and the foxy misrepresentation of the
capitalist paper. The working class
was completely at the mercy OF these
sheets and compelled TO occupy a ridi-
culous position. The union treasures
should go to support a class press ahead
of every othdr consideration. II is
the super-important weapon.
Political power hurled on the capital
