1t is this suction that makes a cy-
clone draw Corks from any empty bot

Any one caught in a cyclone often
finds that dust or mud Is driven into
his clothes under such pressure that
repeated washings refuse to remove It
The tremendous lifting power at the
eye of Q cyclone Is shown not only by
its hurling men and even sheds into
the air but by the curious fact that 1t
usually leaves every well in its path
quite dry. 1t is this upward suction
that accounts for waterspouts at sea

The only good point about a cyclone
as compared with an ordinary storm
is that the track along which 1t trav-

path is seldom more than 200 or 900
yards broad On each side Of tho
track where a cyclone Is spreading

the mans occupation is more likely

Cyclones Of the sort that recently
devastated the colliery valleys OF
South Wales are very rare in this coun.
try, says PeaFsons Weekly. This
particular storm, the f1ercest ever
known in Britain, carried man near
ly quarter OF mile through the
air before dashing him down to death
1t threw tombstones about, hurled shop
goods into the street and took the
roofs off hundreds OF houses.
Cyclones as a rule occur only In hot
countries. Their ferceness is due to
a sort Of hole in the atmosphere.
The air all around rushes in with tre-
mendous force to fill up this hole. So
a cyclone is really a sort of cart
wheel Of winds, fierce gales blowing
along each spoke toward the hub.
which Is called the EYE" OF the cy.
clone.
In cyclone the "cartwheel" Is
much smaller than In an ordinary
storm, and the winds are correspond
ingly fiercer. There are authentic In
stances Of cyclones driving flying nails
into trees and planks right up to the
head Straws, too, have been driven
half through stout doors.
A very curious thing about cyclones
is that house caught in the eye OF
one has Its doors and windows burst
outward, not IN. This was noticed In
Wales. and accounts for the contents
of shops being hurled into the street

 and his friends. MT. Redmond declared,
 had met with insult. He referred to
 the failure to agree on the temporary exclusion of any part of Ireland and declared although 1t was a great sac riflce to make as the price of peace. they had made absolutely no sacrifice of principle. If the proposal had been for the permanent exclusion of one inch of Irish territory they would unhesi- tatingly have rejected IL. as the prin ciples of the bill must be maintained. Speaking for myself and my col leagues, and, believe, the Irish na- ton" Mir Redmond continued, these principles are our last word. Beyond them one inch we cannot and we will not go - If force is interposed. that 1 force will be met with force. The party of the democracy of this country will be all the stronger because nationalist Ireland has shown that it has been willing to make great sacrifice for peace"
 Mir. Redmond said that there was no difference between the British cabinet and the Irish party on the principle and policy of procedure.
 l During the day MT. Redmond received many cablegrams from America con gratuIting him on the prospect for a speedy realization of Irish self govern- ment.

MURDER VERDICT
 INLE0FRANK CASE
 UPHELD BY JUROR
Answers Preachers Who Urged New Trial for Con- demned Man-Says the
 Verdict Was Fair One

Atlanta, March 1.-The verdict of guilty in the trial of Leo M. Frank. su- perintendent of the National Pencil com pany, charged with the murder of Mary Fhagan, 14 years old was defended here tonight in statement issued by J. T. Ozburn, one of the jurors.
 Pleas by three Atlanta ministers last Sunday for a new triai for Frank, now sentenced to be hanged on April r., called forth the jurors statement. The ministers asked new hearing for the convicted man on the ground, that, ac- cording to their statements, public opin- ion was inaamed against Frank st the time and the evidence was subject to doubt. The statement of the juror fol- lows in part:
 Three men, speaking from as many pulpits in Atlanta last Sunday. are quoted as charging that the tria1 of Leo M. Frank was unfair and demanding that the verdict be set aside. # Heard All Testimony
 ''The jury heard all the testimony and claim to have sufficient intelligence and honesty to have weighed the evidence without prejudice notwithstand- ing the opinion of the holier-than-thou gentlemen, to the contrary.
 We were not trying yellow dogs, sheep killing dogs, nor dogs of any other character, but a white man charged with heinous crime and, speaking for myself and. as believe, for every mem ter of the jury. realized the solemnity Of the responsibility resting upon us.
 Testimony. Convincing
 "The testimony was strongly corrobor- ated by sworn witnesses. as well as by circumstantial evidence in every point which influenced the mind of the jury. "
 Franks death sentence has been af- frmed by the state supreme court and his attorneys now are making prepara- tions to file an extraordinary motion foi new trial on the ground of newly dis covered evidence.
 Mary Phasan was an employe in the pencil factory and her body was found in the factory basement. James Con ley. negro employe, in the factory, tes- itfied that Frank killed the girl in his office and that he aided in the disposal of the body at the instance of Frank.
 Conley was sentenced to years fn- prisonment on the charge of being ar accessory after, the murder.
