HOW THE WEATHER BUREAU
WARNS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. (
The Methods I'simI to Annuunoe the | '
| |
Kecent Terrible Storm In lown
Taken an uu Example.
THE signal ueliievomcnt of the |
floverninent Weather Bureau '
in predicting the recent clis- ,
natrons tornadoes in Iowa |
twentv-four bourn in advance of their 1
awful visitation* has brought into new
prominence the remarkable accuracy
with which in these days of advanced
bcieuce a weather forecast cau be made. [ ]
The prediction of the Iowa tornado j ,
offers n noteworthy example of tho I
value of the < ioverumont Bureau, and
illustrates the perfection of the system
it employs, but tho forecast iu point of
accuracy is duplicated daily. It isn't
every day that a tornado starts on a
wild stampede, but the weather sharp*
nre expected to keep the eities and
towns of the country pouted in advance
in regard to tin* weather. The daily
forecast lias liecoinc an all-important
element in all calculations, whether ol
pleasure or of business, and could no
more bo dispensed with than tlio telegraph
or any of the other agencies
which have revolutionized affairs. As
?v much depends upon these predictions
it is not surprising that the
bureau has reached a high grade of
efficiency.
If an JCuglish or a French weather
sharp were assigned to our bureau he
would probably be as confused as the
average man on seeing a three-ring
circus for the first time. 3t is not an
uncommon circumstance for the
Weather Bureau to chase half a dozen
different varieties of storms over the
country in a day. ft may be hailing
in North Dakota, a tornado may bo
making sad havoc in the Western
farming belt, a windstorm may bo
bowling along the Atlantic coast, imperilling
ship]dug, and four or live
thunder-storms may be creating alarm
in as many different sections.
With all these complications, a
short, thick-set man, with gray eyebrows
and gray mustache, calmly looks
over the mans which are made 011 the
reports of one of the (toverniuent observers
thr> vein ut the country, and
figures out jusi the kind of weather
that may bo expected in every State
and section. This short, thick-set
man, with gray eyebrows and gray
mustache, is the official wh*?, on examining
the map <.n i51-? night of duly
5, paused for a moment, and then, to
the surprise ?>:' hi assistants, murmured:
"XI.is looks like a tornado."
Major Dunwoudy was the officer
who read (he sign < aright. Til Government
ob rver^ at Sioux City, Dos
Moines, la., Keokuk and Omaha, had
nil roporto I t'ifeatcnin : atmospheric
conditions, an i Knit- reports, when reduced
to tracings on the map?, showed
/* that the centre of the atmospheric disturbances
was at Cheyenne, with the
winds racing from all four points ol
the compass toward the Wyoming
capital. Major Dunwoudy has had
an intimate ncguaie.tance with storms
for years, and this tornado didn't fool
him by protending to ren lozvous at
Clicycnne. The Major is nn old army
officer, who understands nil about
think movements, and he began to
figure out where the main attack might I
bo expected.
He was sitting on a liigli stool in the
forecasting room nt the Weather Bureau,
culeuhuiiig on the tornado's probable
evolution. I he Major rea I the
report of the storm sentiiu Is at Sioux
City and Dos Moines over again, ami
then drew a circle, with the centre at
Cheyenne and the rircutuft reueo towards
the Bast, touching Davenport.
The Major'st \perii nee t night him that
the most trouble might be expected in
< the soulhen.-t segment of the eircle,
and before o'clock that night, all the
observers who furnished th" alarming
reports were instructed by wire to send
out warnings to cities and towns on
the respective sections, and orders
were also given to employ e\u rv moans
to inform tin: country districts of the
impending peril.
Hours before t'lc storm broke with
its terrible fury express trains ruuniug
through the isolated communities had
carried the Imn nuh inl lligenee, and
those who lived far from the railroad
station were warned by whistles, which
were blown according to an established
and well-understood code.
How quickly all this was accomplished
illustrates the ellieieiiey of the
Government system, us directed by
Chief Harrington. At 8 o'clock on the
night of the ."tii the observations were
mime, anil an Hour later Major Dunwoody,
with quick judgment, based on
long experience, had located the storm,
and had sent out a forecast to the
threatened community, tolling of the
dangers to be feared. IIow much
greater might have been the damage to
property, and how much greater the
loss i?f life, hut for the warnings!
The Weather Bureau did not announce
that a tornado might be expected,
as tornado predictions went out
of favor with the young army lieutenants.
The warning, as sent out, was
to the effect that severe local thunder
storms were threatened, and the farmers
knew full well what was meant.
As interpreted by them, it signified
that a ground cellar would be a good
place in which to spend July (?.?New
York World.
The Bo.i n Banana Was Wearing.
A curiosity in the line of a snake is
to ho seen at the New England news
stand. It is a boa constrictor, aud
came from South America wit'un cargo
of bananas. The snake is throe feet
long and about four inches in greatest
PV. circumference. On its long journey
it was kept comatose in a refrigerator,
but hardly had it been unloaded when
Minnesota's sun began to thaw it out.
A fruit voudor of this city was marching
out of the store with the bunch of
Dananas nung over lus shoulhor, when
a bystander call 3d out to him. The
man turned and saw the snake on a
level with his eyes, looking at him as
,.^^^^kpngh wondering what uext was to l>o
nB^^p>ccted. The bananas were dropped
Hil the vender's optics fairly bulged
of his head. Ho might possibly
heard of finding tarantulas in a
of bananas, but a boa constriewas
too muoh. The snake was fed
^ ^Hbr his five weeks' fast. A mouse
dropped into his box. Ho wound
himself about his victim and squeezed
.the life out of it and then swallowed it
whole.?Minneapolis (Miuu.) Tribune.

Wealthy People Who Go to the
Country?A Unique Industry. B
"7T" N advertisement appeared in
/\ one of tho afternoon Now A
\ .Tersoy papers under tho head
<? of "Boarders Wanted" a
couple of days ago which read that
Jogs and birds were boarded on o farm
[>n West Side avenue. West Sido avetine
is located on the far side of the
Heights in Jersey City, in the newly h
settled section. The boarding house is 0
located on a rich farm of abont fifteen
acres and about two hundred feet from v
the uvenuo. All through the grounds b
one can seo newly-painted dog houses,
and as far as tho eye can reach dogs of j
all kinds are seen, some tied to their c
houses, others tied to trees and some
running loose.
Tn a lot which is sot apart for this H
particular purpose are rows of neat
little houses, used as cat housos. Tho
cats are allowed to run Ioobc during ?
the day, but when night comes they of
their own accord return to their respective
homes. Each cat has a house f
of its own, and after a stay of three 1
or four days on the farm all learn their
places perfectly. \
One would imagine that where there t
aro so many dogs and cats in such
close proximity frequent fights would r
occur, and it is not at all unlikely that j
such things do happen. Tho proprietor
of this dog, cat and bird farm
stoutly denies this, liowover, and ^

TNsftCTS ON VEGETABLES.
Sometimes you will find smalt insects
clinging to the vegetables fresh
from market. Make a strong brine of
? pound and a half of salt to a gr?lJon
of water. Place the vegetables in this
with the stalks uppermost Ijet them
remain there for a couplo of hours.
Phis will destroy the insects which
cluster in the loaves, and they will sink
to the bottom of the pan.?New York

To ice any fruit, dip first in the i
beaten white of an egg, then in pulverized
sugar. Do this until the icing
is sufficiently thick. Peaches should
be pared and cut in halves, and sweet,
juicy pears are treated in the same
way. Cherries, strawberries and other
small fruits are iced with the stems on,
only the largest being ehoseu. Pineapples
should be cut inl<> thin slices,
and these again divided into quarters.
Oranges and lemons should be pared
aud all the white skin removed, the
lemons cut into horizontal slices, tho
oranges divided into quarters.?New

HOW TO WASH DISHES.
Do you know how to wash dishes?
Not merely so that you get them otl
the kitchen table into the china closet,
but so that tho despised and dreaded
task becomes almost a pleasure. This
is the way to accomplish that result.
As sooti as tho cooking is done, till
all the cooking utensils with water and
leave them to soak. When the meal is
ended scrape all the plates clean?not
with a knife, for that, scratches and
nicks?but with a soft pieco of leftover
bread. Put the plates in olio
pile, the saucers in another, the cups,
emptied of their drainings, together,
and tho glass and silver together.
Have a bowl of water cool enough to
allow your hand to remain in it a few
minutes without scalding, but hot, and
wash the glasses with soap iu that.
Dry them as fast as they are washed.
If you let them stand upon a tray the
air dries them, and does it ir. streaks
where the water is trickling down.
Have a soft, clean, liutless cloth for
this purpose.
Then wash tho silver; the water
should he very hot for this, ff tlloro
are any crevices, clean them with n
brush kept for the purpose. Dry on a
clean towel and polish with silver
powder.
Next wash your cups aud saucers ?
one at it time. Use a mop with a han.11..

ti<mf bo without one of those wire
kitchen conveniences known as a soapshaker.
Wipe each cup ami saucer
before pultiug it out of your hand, or
it will ?lry partially and strenkilv, and
bo rough to the touch. After tho
cups and saucers, wash the plates in
the same way. Then clean the tins,
and then tho pots and pans.
To clean knives, rub with a soft
flunucl dipped in powdered bathbrick,
or in wood ashes. Never let the
ivory handles be dipped in hot water.
Tins may be kept in a state of dazzling
brightness:! by being rubbed
with sifted wood ashes or with whitening.
Copper utensils should be scoured
with brick dust and flannel.
Tho dish cloths and mops should bo
washed, scalded and dried nft-T each
using. The towels should never be
thrown aside in a damp lump, but
should bo hung to dry, and then
dropped into tho kitchen hamper
against washing day.
The dish pan should be thoroughly
washed with soap and water, scoure I
and rinsed with scalding water, drie I
and hung on its own hook. Then the
sink should be scoured and rinsed with
scalding water, in which common soda
has been dissolved.?New York World.

Tomatoes are healthy ami tomatoes
arc growing cheap. Therefore, the
New York Recorder concludes, rules
for tomato cookery arc in order:
Tomato Eggs?(Jut three or four
good-sized tomatoes in half. Take
out a little of each iusido. Fry tlio
tomatoes lightly in a pan containing
two ounces of melted butter. When
almost done carefully drop a raw egg
from the shell iuto the hollow of each
tomato. When the egg is perfectly
set take each one separately from tho
pan and lay it on a small, rouud slioe
of buttered toast; dust with a little
coraliuo pepper and sprinkle a little
newly grated ham over the white of
each egg. Serve on a hot dish, with a
garnish of nasturtium flowers and
leaves.
Tomatoes and Shrimps?Choose a
dozen smooth-skinned, medium-sized
tomatoes; cut a piece off the top of
each and scoitp out a portion of the interior.
Scald, bono and fillet thrco
anchovies; pound in a mortar with a
half pint of freshly-skinned shrimps, a
tablespoonfnl of ham, one of taragon
leaves, a pinch of salt and a dash ol
cayenne. Mix together and nearly
lill each tomato with the mixture;
then pour into each a little oil and
vinegar, seasoned with prepared musU..1

Tomato Fritters?Boil, peel and
pound to a pulp four tomatoes. Boat
up with this the yolks of four and tho
whites of two eggs, two tahlespoonfuls
of cream, two tahlespoonfuls of white
wine, seasonod with a little grated nutmeg
and dash of cinnamon. Beat until
very light; then divide into small fritters
and fry in a pan of heated butter ;
drain on paper and send to the table
with a sauce made of an ounce of
melted butter, the juice of two lemons
and a tablespoonful of caster sugar.
Solidified Petroleum Fuel.
Considerable attention hae oeen attracted
in engineering circles abroad
during the past year by the use of
petroleum in solid form. The details
of tho Chenhal process for solidifying
Eetroleum are now made public. In
rief, this process consists in heating
800 parts of the oil with 300 parts of
melted and dissolved soda, ten parts of
concentrated calcium chloride solution
and ninety parts of resin. After tho
mess has bocotne solid it is cut up into
briquettes, which can be used in the
same way as coal or any other similar
fuel.?New York Commercial Advertiser.

cmims m?T tne animals mingle together
and have never been known to
fight. There is also a long building J
for birds.' Hanging from hooks wero 1
about sixty cages containing birds of
all sorts. They are hung high enough 1
to prevent the eats, which live close '
by, from interfering with them. Nor
is this all, for as you come out through ?
the door of the bird house you are i
confronted by an immense sign which j
reads: "Horses pastured and colts
handled with care." ^
Upon inquiry it was found that ^
horses wero taken for the summer and .
colts wero broken.
If there was any other sortof animal
that required care it is very probablo j
that it, too, would bo found there.
The farm is owned and conducted by
a man named William Welsh, a short,
stubby, good nntured man who enjoys ]
tolling the secrets of his peculiar business.
"About ten years ago," Mr. Welsh
said, "when T had just landed in this
country, I heard a friejnl of mine wonder
why somebody didn't have just
such a place as I have here. I thought
the matter over for several weeks, and
finally approached my wife011 the subject.
She did not appear to bo very
enthusiastic at first, hut I finnlly prevailed
upon her to try it, so when the
summer season began I had everything
in readiness and advertised my business.
The scheme was entirely new
then and did not take very well, but I
managed to get a sufiicient number of
dogs and birds the first year to convince
me that there would be money
in it in the end. We just about cleared
expenses the first season, and when
tins next season came around wo wero
prepared for the reception of any number
of dogs. The second season was
better than the first, and the succeeding
summers have each been bettor
than the former, so that now we have
made it quite a paying business. Wc
have managed to make enough money
in the last ten j*e?rstobuy thisplaoe."
"But why do people want to board |
their dog, cut or bird, as the case may '
be?" )
"I'ou know that tho craze for pet j
dop;s, birds and cats is increasing every <
day, and as a consequence there are
wealthy families hero in Jersey City
who apparently think uh much of their
pets as they do of thoir children. |
When they go away for the summer, as (
they generally do, they want to feel |
that their pets aro well eared for."
"Do not so many dogs and other
animals make an immense amount of |
work?"
i
"Of course there is lots of work attached
to the business, but wo manage <
it all right. The lirst thing in the 3
morning my son George takes tho dogs,
ten at a time and as many more as wo <
know do not need watching, and goes i
down to tho llaokenaack River and i
gives them their bath. After they havo
been washed with u carbolic preparation
which I use thoy return to
their houses and a second lot is taken
to tho river and the same thing is done
to them, and this is kept up until all i
of them have been washed. The birds
my wifo takes carts of and the cats are
cared for by all of us. They are fed
regularly and receive good care while
they aro hero. If any of my boarders
arts taken sick I doctor them myself."
"How many boarders havo you here
now?"
"Well, at present there aro eightyone
dogs, sixty eats and I think 210
birds. For the dogs we get from $8
to ?10 per month, for tho cats $2
and for tho birds $2.75 per month.
The horses and colts we rnako special
arrangements for."
"I)o you ever lose any of yonr
boarders through theft or escape?"
"Well, occasionally a dog will run
away, but we usually find him. As to
having n dog stolen, I guess not. Any
tramp or thief who would dare to
come in here at night, amid tho noise
that the dogs \fould make would be
deserving 01 a ueuer inio man ne
won Id undoubtedly meet."?New York
Advertiser.
An Educated Snake.
A cow belonging to John H. Bnavely,
a farmer living two miles south of i
Bharpsburg, was observed to stop and
bellow regularly at a largo troo in the
lane, while the cattle were being driven
from the field. Borne boys watched
her one day and observed a large black
Rnako approach, and milk the cow.
Driving her homo they told Philip
Lumm, who works on tho farm, who
got iuto the tree with a gun and waited
for results. When the cows came from
the field this particular cow stopped at
the troe and bellowed, whon the anake
appeared and was shot by Lumm.?

Imitation American Physicians*
American medical missionaries are
now very popular in China. They are
everywhere welcome, more especially
beoanse they offer medical advice and
medioine gratis, prefaced with religious
oxoroises. The Chinese appear
to appreciate this kind of practical
religion. In a recent letter to the
Missionary Herald, Dootor Chapin
tells of his missionary sueoesses in the
vioiniiy of Pang Chuang, and says:
"On this trip I learned for the first
time that there are in this part of
China a number of 'counterfeit' foreigners.
I was myself taken to be one
of that class bocnuse of an ability to
make myself understood in Chinese.
It seems that one or more enterprising
celestials have gone into the work
of dispensing medioines after the manner
of tho American physician. Usually
two or throe men go togother.
One of these dresses in foreign oostume
and talks a gibberish whioh is
not understood by the natives, and so
passes for a foreign language. In
imitation of American physicians, all
medicine it? given away, but, unliko
that fraternity, the bogus representative
of America is quite willing to receive
contributions of grain to feed the
nnimal which liolps convey him from
village to village. In consequence
grain pours iu upon him by the quantity.
This is disposed of by a confederate
at the noarost fair, and then Ah
Sin departs for 'fresh fields and pastures
now.'"

A Young Russian's Fats.
"Why does Russia linger in ignor*
ance?" answered David S. Jordan.'
"Let mo toll you a story. When I waff
in college at Oornell there eame a
bright young Russian to study by the
name of Dabrolohoff. The young man
| was of quick preceptive powers and
deeply interested in tho progressive
practical sciences and questions. He
studied very hard for four years, did
much moro work than any single term
required, and graduated with the '
honors of his class. Ho removed to
New York and entered into a successful
practico of civil engineering. Som*
time later I learned that he had gone
back to his native land. 1 hoard no
more of this young man outaido of a
few scientific articles iu some European
magazines for nearly ten years. Whilo
making a tour of Europe I bethought
myself of him and wondered why his
brilliant parts had not long since
brought him into prominence. In
Russia I mado inquiries and there
learned, to my astonishment and sorrow,
that the. student had beon suspected
of treason, tried and sentenced
to Siberia, where ho had died in filth
