How Tornado Originates

The tornado of the Western plains IS identical in formation with the sand- whlrl. The sun beats fercely on Tim tied area-say ten square miles Of bar ren prairie-and as result the air next the earth becomes very hot, perhaps I2O degrees, and the mass Is constant ly increasing in volume. Above the warm air is a stratum perhaps 20 de- grees colder.
 By and by a passageway is made, the hot air begins to ascend and the cold upper air, pressing downward forces the lighter air through q chan nel thus formed. It begins to whirl, 1t increases In velocity, surface cur rent forces 1t along, and the tornado starts on It's destructive journey.
 The terrific cyclone originates in much the same way, only differing In extent. The most violent cyclones or iglnate in tropical attitudes, in the At lantic ocean, to the north and east O1 West Indian islands and in the Pacific, in the China sea and in the neighbor- hood of the Philippine islands.
 The reason they are so destructive is because they are carried such great distances by extraneous influences.

HILL PUZZLE TO BIOLOGISTS
Stone Columns on Eminenee Near Pa chuea, In Mexico, Out of Keeping
 With Other Formations.

A very remarkable geological freak In Mexico Is mountain situated near Pachuca which presents the appear ance at a distance of being covered with spikes. The sides of the noun tain are closely studded with stone col umns or palisades. These columns are i've to twelve feet long and as large round as an average mans body. It is a remarkable upllft of nature which has the appearance, however, of being the handiwork of human beings. One side of the mountain Is almost perpen- dicular and the stone columns pro trude from the surface at right angles, forming an impressive picture.
 Pachuca Is one of the most noted mining districts in Mexico, and It is said by geologists that this remarka- ble spiked mountain Is out of keeping with the remainder of the formation of the mineralized region. The stone Is as hard as flint and has withstood the elements of ages. The spikes form a natural battlement that makes the mountain appear from a distance like an ancient fort. The mines of the Pachuca district are situated not far from this wonderful freak of nature, but the formation encountered In their respective underground workings Is Of an entirely different kind from that of the palisade.

ALL HAVE THEIR UNDER-DoeS
Coed Reasons Why Peoples sympa- thies Are With the Fellow Who
 Is Temporarily Down.

Our sympathies naturally travel the line of Hkes-that is, the things we feel in ourselves, we feel in others. We ap- plaud the under-dog, because we so often have been the under-dog. We like to lift the other fellow up when he IS down, because We also have been down. Sympathy starts at hOme-or else It isn't sympathy.
 Your periodic moods of failure ana disappointment are your under-dogs.
 So, instead of walking past these under-dogs of yours and casting no sympathy their way, pause to give them your heart and your hope, and soon the picture and fact will be your oEer-dogs-your victories and your genuine achievements.
 No under,dogs can possibly appeal In importance to the under-dogs Of your daily experience.
 Perhaps you will applaud alone the under-dogs of your personal glooms and shadows, but what of it2 As Low ell says: "Daily, with souls that crInge and plot, we Slnais climb and know 1t hot" What difference, what odds, so long as over your manhood bend the skies?"
 Courageously cheer the under-dogs of your experiences and stay proudly by them until their fight becomes a fac tor of your klngship.-George Matthew Adams, in Good Housekeeping.

At the conclusion of the court ses-
sion this morning G. L. Grant of Fort
Smith. Ark, one of counsel for the

Up to the Miners.
The court proceedings were opened
this morning by Judge Ames, who
briefly reviewed the legal phases of
the strike situation and called atten-

Ames said, 1T thought the measures
justified and still entertains this opin-
ion. However, we have been advised
that a meeting will be held this after
noon to consider settlement of the
strike and the government confidently
expects that the miners will take steps
to comply with the order of the court
for termination of the strike and there
will be speedy and complete reSump-

these facts therefore. the government
would request that the court postpone
