YOUNG CYCLONE
VISITS MANDAN

Bismarck, N. d., Aug. 11.--One OF the
ton has experienced passed over this city
and Mandan late this afternoon. The wind
blew sixty-s miles and 1903 inches of rain
fell in half an hour. Fortunately the hail
part of the storm was not more than a
mile wide and the damage from that source
is small. One house was struct by light
ming here. The damage is nominal and
many trees we're were blown down. 1t is
thought that a great deal of grain must
have been destroyed over wide area.
At Mandan the roof and part of the
walls Of the Demarsh hotel were blown
down and the building deluged at the loss
of $4,000. The roof blew off one Of the
rear buildings of the Inter-Ocean hotel
and crashed through the glass front of the
dining room. completely wrecking it, and
entailing loss of $4,000. A part of the
court house roof blew off, with $500 loss.
! and many houses we're moved from their
foundations and other damage done, in
Guiding the leveling of dozen wndmills.
One Of the incidents of the storm was the
blowing of a baby from out of a baby carr
iagt clear across the street, but aside from
bruises, the child was unhurt.
! During the storm a gravel train on. the
Northern Pacific was crossing the bridge
over the Missouri when the eaboose wa:
lifted off the track and hurled against the
girders of the bridge. Three men WERE
! injured and a wrecker had to be sent to
clear the wreck Had the caboose lef
the track minute sooner it would have
been hurled down the embankment seven
ty-hve feet high into the Missouri river.
AT Fort Lincoln the storm did consider
able damage to Co. HIS quarters, blowing
the large front veranda oft the building
entirely demolshing it. and caving a side
of the brick structure in about five inches
A part of the tin roofing was blown off ant
carried about n mile by the wind.

EARLY and Late Eastera.

Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than March % or later than April %,
but between these two dates it has a
range Of thirty five days. At the time
of the council of Nice, 32o A. D., it
was agreed by the representatives pres
ent that from that time forward Easter
should fall on the first Sunday after
the full moon occurring on or next
after March 81, or, in other words, ION
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses the line"
Since the above arrangement was
adopted by the great ecclesiastical
council referred to Easter has fallen
on March % and on every date be-
tween that and April. 2o. but it is only
after long intervals Of time that it oc-
ours on its extreme dates. In 1886
Easter fell on April %. its latest pos
sible date, an event which will not
again occur until the spring of 1913.
The last time Easter fell on its earliest
date was in 1918. This will not happen
again until after this century.

PLANETARY VITALITY.
Can Take Place Only on
Living Globes.

"Iobcbs
A moonquake is now unthinka ble,
because the moon Is as dead as a door
nail Our satellite is ever foreshad-
owing our own ultimate doom, like the
mummy at Egyptian banquets," but in
the meantime if the Edinburgh Review
has correctly conceived the teachings
Of seismology, the inha bitants Of earth
may console themselves for the havoc
wrought through earthquakes by re-
fleeing that they demonstrate the vi
tally of our planet. In that distant
past when the moon actually Quaked
there may some scientists declare
there must-have been forms of ANNA
ton upon its surface. Though the
moon, by reason of its smaller size,
was bound to lose it's atmosphere, it
must have taken millions of years to
do so, and there may have been time
for the cycle of life, from the primeval
germ up to seRtient beings and down
again to the hardest lingering plant
cells, to run its full circle" The writer
in the Edinburgh Review continues to
develop his line Of thought
Earthquakes are n sign of planetary
vitality. They would seem to be char
acteristic of the terrestrial phase Of de-
velopment. Effete globes like the moon
can scarcely be subject to the stress to
which they are due, nor can they be
very suitably constituted for the prop
agation of elastic waves Inchoate
worlds. such as Jupiter and Saturn,
are still less likely to be the scenes Of
reverberating conclusions. Their ma
terials have not yet acquired the neces-
sary cohesion. They are pasty or fluid,
if not partially vaporous. On the earth
the seismic epoch presumably opened
when, exterior qualification having
commenced, the geological ages began
to run. 1t will last 50 long as peaks
crumble and rivers carry sediment, so
long as the areal distribution of loads
fuctuates and strains evoke forces AIDE
Quate for their catastrophe relief.
"Our globe is by it's elasticity kept
habitable. The separation of sea from
dry land is thus and not otherwise
maintained. The alterations Of eleva
ton and substance manifest the con-
tinual activity Of this reserve OF en-
ergy. The dimensions of the globe we
inhabit depend upon the balance of
pressure and expansiveness. Relaxa
ton or enhancement of either instant
ly occasions a bending inward or an
arching outward of the crust. Just by
these sensitive reactions the planet it
self shows itself to be alive, and seis-
mic thriuingS are the breathS 1t
draws,"-Current Literature.

Failure.

Every frequently" says New York
lawyer, there is an element of uncon-
scious humor in the findings Of a jury.
To my mind, the best 1 ever heard in
this connection was the verdict brought
in by a coroner's jury in Michigan,
who were called upon to pass upon the
case Of the sudden death of merchant
in Lansing.
The finding was as follows: We.
the jury. find from the physicians
statement that the deceased came to
his death from heart failure. superin-
duced by business failure. which was
caused by speculation failure, which
was the result of failure to see far
enough ahead "-Harper's Weekly.

Of a Quarter.

Cleveland. O., Aug. 5.-Confessing
that she had bound the hands of her
four-year-old child with oil soaked
rags and set them on fire, Mrs. Helen
was sentenced to serve three months
in the workhouse and pay a fine Of
$50 and costs.
The mother with a three weeks old
baby in her arms stated in court she
had suspected the older child of steal
ing the last quarter they had for house
hold expenses and hunger and desper-
alton had caused her endeavor to
make the child confess by this pun
ishment.
Neighbors rescued the child before
she was burned badly.
