Cyclones TrdUel 600 to
700 Miles Each Day

A vast system of winds blowing
around a center Of low atmospheric
pressure is called by meteorologists
Cyclone" Atmospheric disturbances
of this character pass In endless pro
cession across the United States at
intervals of few days in general
direction from west to east. They are
usually several hundred thousand
square miles in area and they move
on an average at rate Of 900 or 700
miles a day.
They are by far the most important
factor in controlling the weather Of
the country. As q cyclone approaches
us the temperature usually rises,
clouds gather and we are likely to
have rain or snow. Stormy winds are
not necessarily feature OF cyclone.
In short. a cyclone is an exceedingly
commonplace event in the life OF an
American citizen.
There is no funnel-shaped cloud in a
cyclone. Neither does the coming OF
one of these disturbances usually
make 1t expedient to take refuge in a
Cyclone cellar"
The most violent storms known any
where occur in the interior of the
North American continent, especially
in the middle western United States,
and most frequently in late spring
and summer. bulletin by United
States Department Of Agriculture.

who, during the Civil war, carried
Grants famous message to Sheridan.

Samuel S. Miller, a retired member OF
the Indian service of the United States
government, who for years has lived
among the Apaches. He has the dis
tinction Of being the only white man
who has ever been elected to member
ship in the Apache tribe.
During the Civil war Captain Miller
commanded a troop of the Eleventh
Pennsylvania cavalry. On one occasion
he was the bearer OF message from
General Sheridan to General Grant.

Grant read this message" explains
Captain Miller, "he looked up into my

message put new life into General

Captain Miller also tells of another

JACK HoRNER WAS ROGUE
Mother Goose Character Really Exist
ed in the Reign Of
Henry VIII.

Jack Horner of the Christmas pie
really existed, though whether he de-
served the title Of good boy" is ex-
ceedingly doubtful He was, however,
a fortunate rogue.
When Henry VIII suppressed the
monasteries and drove the monks from
their quarters the title deeds Of the
abbey of Mells were demanded by the
commissioners. The abbot Of Glaston-
bury determined that he would send
them to London and, as the documents
were very valuable, and the road in
Tested with thieves, it was difficult to
get them to the metropolis sa
To accomplish this end he devised
very Ingenious plan He ordered sa-
worry pie to be made, and inside he put
the dOcuments-the finest filling a pie
ever had-and intrusted this dainty to
a lad named Horner to carry up to Lon
don to deliver safely into the hands for
whom IL was intended.
But the journey was long and the
day cold, and the boy was hungry, and
the pie was tempting, and the chance
of detection was small.
So the boy broke of a piece Of the
pie, and beheld a parchment within. He
pulled it forth innocently enough, won
dering how it could have found It's way
there, tied up in pastry. put 1t in his
pocket and then continued his journey
to town.
The parcel was delivered, but the
title deeds of Mells abbey were miss
ing.
The fact was that Jack had them in
his pocket These were the juiciest
plums in the pie. Great was the rage
of the commissioners and heavy the
vengeance they dealt out to the monks
But Master Jack Horner kept his Sc
cret, and when peaceable times were
restored he claimed the estates and re-
ceived them.-Baltlmore Sun.

WOOL FOR BILLIARD TABLE
Used In Making Single Cover
That viii Stand Up.

Most striking of the revelations of
the manufacture Of billiard tables are
the facts about the cloth for which the
pick of the worlds wool is used to pro-
duce a fabric that will stand up to its
work. No fewer than % fieeces are re-
jeeted during the processes of cleaning
and combing before the weaving be-
gins.
To keep a cloth in the best condition
two things are essential-careful brush
Ing and ironing. The strokes Of the
brush must invariably be in the same
direction-that is, with the nap-and
the same rule holds good for the iron,
which should never be too hot, or else
the cells of the wool will be deprived
Of the natural moisture which they
need to keep In good condition.
The points of the best cues are usu-
ally made of French ash or maple,
which have been found by experience
to keep straighter than other woods
For the establishment Of the butt
ebony is the favorite, but tulip wood
"a wood from Brazil Of a red color
with yellowlsh streaks-and rosewood
are both employed sometlmes.-De-

Use for Old Bed SPRINGS.

A worn-out bed spring, resting
quietly on a city dump, might be con-
sidered as the last word In useless
ness, but science, which is always on
the lookout for a possible use for any
thing from Niagara falls to a cootie
has not overlooked the possibilities Of
city dumps. 1t has been found that
these unstable antiques make the
best sort Of protection from flying
debris in blasting explosions. The
charge Is covered first with layer
Of bed springs and then with some
loose heavy articles such as railroad
ties. When the explosion occurs the
gases escape readily through the
cracks and crevices in the springs and
Stats, but the small fragments are re-
tained and so cause no damage to
adjacent persons and property. The
springs are said to be practically in
destructible by this treatment and
may be used repeatedly.

How to Tell Them Apart.

can old war correspondent was at.
taehed to the Chilean army during a
struggle with Peru.
On one occasion he complained 10 a
general that owing to the absence of
uniforms on either side he found 1t
difficult to distinguish the combatants.
"oh. it's quite simple" returned the
general, cynlcally. IF you see a man
running toward Chile he's a Chilean; II
he's running toward Peru he's a Peru
