TORNADO'S FORCE SPENT
Prof Moore Says ItCan Do n More
amage-Headed for Canada.

Washington, March %. Prof. Willis
l.. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau,
said today that, so far as further dan
ger was concerned, the tornado that
struck Omaha was off the map. 1t has
passed toward the st. Lawrence river,
but its force is so far expended that it
may be described as dead. The storm
reported as approaching from the Rocky
Mountains, Prof. Moore said, was the
regular follower of tornado and need
cause no alarm. In the East it would
be felt chiefly as a drop in temperature
1.-THE disturbance at Omaha" said
Mr.. Moore, "has been followed by fall
ing temperature all through the region
around Omaha. This is quite charac-
teristic and indicates that there will be
no further trouble at present.
'The tornado was caused by the re-
versal of ordinary air conditions in the
localities affected. The region had been
affected by warm temperatures, with
winds moving northwest. The north
west section around North Dakota had
beer having low temperatures, with
winds moving southeast
THE crossing of these air areas, with
the cold area at the top. caused condi-
ton comparable to that in the atmos-
phere at the time of thunderstorm.
The warm air, seeking to rise, encoun-
tered the cold currents seeking to des-
cend and set up eddies, which caused
the tornado. Unless these same condi-
lions arise there can be no further tor
nado in the vicinity of Omaha. New

OMAHA COUNTS 200 LIVES
LOST.
Surrounding Towns Add 500 More
Roll of Injured Numbers
Nearly 500.

Omaha, March %. For the first time
since the disastrous tornado of Easter
Sunday, the people of Omaha today be-
gan to count the cost in lives and dol
lars. When a resume was made it was
apparently more appalling than those
who had studied the result were willing
to admit.
Not less than 200 lives were snuffed
out within the vicinity of the city
proper, and not less than fifty persons
in surrounding towns lost their lives.
Nearly 500 We're injured, and eight of
the injured have died in local hospitals
during the day.
The restitution was augmented today,
when nearly three inches of snow fell,
making uninhabitable the houses of
many who had prepared to retain tenn
pory homes in partly destroyed struc-
lures. So far as money might relieve,
conditions were perfect. Tenders OF
sums aggregating $1,000, 900 We're in
the hands of the City Commissioners
when the day ended. These offers came
from nearly every section of the coun-
try, and were made Internationally.

may be laid upon this study than ever
before.
Not little of the success of the
building is due to the vigilance and un-
ceasing labors of Professor McGilton,
head of the chemistry department. He
has devoted time and labor to the
project ever since the matter was first
considered, and many of his original
ideas have been Incorporated by the
constructors in their work.
The building will be ready for occu-
pancy by the beginning of the fall term
next September. Seats, benches, APP
paratus, etc., will be put in this summer
that everything may be in readiness for
immediate use at that time. Consider
able grading will have to be done, and
walks from the other buildings made
some time this spring.
The contractor in charge of the job
is the T. w. Rogers Co. of Brandon,
VT. the architect, w. Nicholas Albert
son of New York city, both of which
firms have been prominent in former
constructions in connection with Mid
dlebury college.
The completion of the chemistry
building will leave the college well pro-
vided as far as carrying out the
various branches of study is concerned
The extra space which the removal of
the chemistry department will make in
the Warner science hall will be used
for the extension of the geological,
geological and botanical departments.
The next building needed is the erection
by the college of dormitory for men.
The need of such building is imme-
date and hopes are kept high that the
construction of such building will be
accomplished within the next year or
two.

RE FORE TATlON PLANS
State Forester Says Planting go
900 Trees Will Soon Beqin.

State Forester A. F. Halves of Burl-
ington was in the city a short time
Thursday. When asked by a reporter
in regard to the plans for reforesta-
ton this year he said the state forest
ers will start, in about two weeks to
plant the state forests at Lyndon,
Plainfeld, Sharon, Mendon, Townsend
and on Cancels Hump, from $4,000 to
80, 900 trees.
These trees will all be of evergreen
varieties, Scotch pine and Norway
spruce, which will be placed six feet
apart each way except at Lyndon,
where the soil is drifting sand and
there they will be planted five feet
apart each way.
State Forester Halves said in regard
to sugar plantations, that it is unneces-
sary to plant sugar trees in forest
patches where there are few of them
already, as they will spring up rapidly
of themselves.
What is necessary, however, is that
the tracts be fenced in or at least that
cattle be not allowed to browse on
such areas, for they eat up the young
trees during the first few years of
growth. Montpelier Journal.

HOW TO RENEW AN EXHAUSTED
DRY BATTERY.

Dry batteries sometimes become ex-
hausted long before the outside cover
ing of zinc has been eaten through. The
failure is caused by one of two things ::
either the chemicals have lost their
strength, or the moisture has evapo-
rated through cracks in the top cover
ing of pitch.
To renew the life of such batteries,
punch several holes through the top
with an awl or long nail Drive the
tool in as deep as possible, but be
careful not to break the carbon rod that
runs the whole length of the battery
Dissolve in water several ounces of sal
ammoniac-you can buy it at any drug
store and pour the solution through
the holes you have made. Do it several
times, as the solution soaks into the
pores, After the battery has taken up
all the solution it will hold, plug with
bits of cloth soaked in the sal ammoniac
solution, and seal the top with melted
pitch or resin. The battery should then
work nearly as well as when it was
new.
Another way to make dry batteries
useful to the limit of their capacity is to
punch holes in the zinc covering, and
put the battery into jar of sal
ammoniac solution. A battery so
treated will continue to produce power
as long as even the smallest particle of
the zinc remains. Youths Companion
