BUILD FOR STORM.

In speaking of the recent cyclones
the Springfield Republican says:
1T is possible that the terrible de-
VISITATION wrouS It by the recent
storms will cause a. reaction in favor
of building for safety even at some
sacrifice of J commodiousness, and
fortunately the revival of the ancient
art Of cement construction has made
available type of building proof
against anything but the most extra
ordinary violence of an exceptional
tornado, and it is likely that even this
could be resisted by special precau-
tions such as persons of ample means
could apply. AS for commercial
buildings, the resisting power of steel
construction is immense, against
wind as against earthquake. In pro-
portion as the rich and prosperous
middle west is rebuilt with increased
solidity the destruction from tor.
nadoes will be reduced. For the pres.
ent the number of windproof struc-
lures must be limited, but much may
be done to avert loss of life by the
systematic provision OF places o.
refuge and the extension of the sys
tenn of alarms. Fortunately tornado
lasts but few minutes, and a yer,
small undergraduate, the construc
ton Of which costs little, provides
safe retreat for whole family Thi
problem is becoming of increased i'm
portance as the region of tornadoe
becomes more densely settled, an,
the recent storms should be a matte
for investigation. The Japanese gov
eminent has done much to reduce los
of life by earthquakes, adm it shout,

thought to reduce materially tn

THE EVILS OF GOSSIP.

Several well known Hammond men
took the liberty of playing a practical
joke on a friend. The so-called joke
placed him in a compromising posi-
ton. The perpetrators of the joke
had good laugh over 1t and thought
THAT closed the incident.
But the matter was not dropped.
The story of the Joke was told to the
few who were let in on the fun. They
chuckled about it and told others.
With every telling of the story it
was exaggerated. That always
happens. The victim of the joke was
first compromised jokingly and then
seriously. What had been told in jest
was afterwards told in earnest.
In the first place the jokers had
taken undue liberties in the perpetra.
ton of their joke and now that some
people have come to believe the story
apparently nothing is done to stoI
the spread OF the gossip.
1t is the same story OF the idle
mind and the devils workshop. 1t /.
the same lack of fine grained appre
citation OF the harm that can be caus
ed by practical joke.
Public sentiment need no longe
Iconcern itself with the stories tina
are circulated. 1t had better con
Germ itself about men who start thes
tales.

posed mostly of gossip. One man wa

} that some of the Hammond gossip
were similarly treated.
