The town wa? ju?tly proud of thla ahlp and whn now on equal term* with Buffalo. Thla city had built and waa operating a steam propeller, Herculea. On the day of the trial trip one thing after another came up until It waa 10 p. in. before the boat waddled opt of the harbor. The craft was 120 ft>et overall and 'Jf> feet a ben in. On the trial trip everything worked to (he sat Isfactlon of the builders and owners and the whip developed a speed of eight miles per hour. It was thought that with a few adjustments and a lit tie forcing thai nine miles per hour could ho coaxed out of the craft. On the f?lh of June, loaded with Hour and passengers, the Emigrant with sails furled slipped out of the harbor and started for Buffalo. A press notice copied from the Buffalo (lunette Is us follows: "The propeller Immigrant, ("apt. Ahner Stone, arrived in our liar bor yesterday (June (?) from Cleveland. This Is her llrst trip.

Noonday Sunlight 465,000 Timet Stronger Than Moon The noonday sun on a clear day gives 405,000 times as much light as the full moon at Its zenith. It provides the earth with nearly 120,<XX),(XX) times more light than all the stars In the sky on a clear night. These calculations of relative Illumination are presented In the meteorological tables of the Smithsonian Institution. The table for relative illumination Intensities, prepared by the weather bureau, takes for Its unit* measure the foot cuudlc--thc amount of illumination received from a standard candle a foot away. The noonday sun. It Is calculated. Juts an Intensity of 0,000foot candles at the surface of the earth. At sunset, this falls to only foot en tulles. . ,4I>, The illumination from the full moon at its zenith Is only two-hundredths of a foot candle, hut tills, in turn. Is ten times as much light as comes from the quarter moon. Starlight amounts to only eight hundred-thousandths of a foot candle.?Tnylor-Tycos, Rochester. R*aid?nc? of President* There Is nothing In the Constitution to prevent men who are resident* of the same state holding the (^ces. of President and Vice President of the 1 United States. The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution reuds In part: "The electors shall meet In their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves." No party has ever nominated candidates for these two ollices from the same state. Obviously it would he unwise to do so because the electors fmru that state could vote for only one of them, even if the party carried the state. But the electors from all t.he other states could vote for both candidates. When Drama Came The earliest European drama is the Creek, which, growing up In connection With the festlvnl of Dionysitis, culminated in Attica, where the festival come to be celebrated by the performance of a tetralogy, consisting of one comedy uml n trilogy of serious plays or tragedies celebrating n connected series of mythic episodes. In Medievul Europe mystery, miracle nnd morality plays, acted In connection with the church festivals preceded the appearance during the Renaissance, of the modern drama which has developed besides tragedy nnd comedy, tragicomedy. melodrama, opera, burlettu, farce, etc. Cannon Racall 1807 Two muzzle loading cannon with the words "Woolwich Arsenal" on them, together with the~date ISO], found In the Riachuelo river, near Buenos Aires, are made of brass and are in a comparatively good state of preservation.

Recording Hhe godd works of a well known docor of the times, the tablet, which wua placed In Hi.

The former cuts out disease j growths and patches up the wounds ' with asphalt or other materials, after i proper antiseptics have been used to clean them out ami prevent further i local spread of the malady. Toadstools, sometimes of great size, ' are often seen growing on the roots j or trunks of trees. They are disease growths. Fungi of many kinds Invade the bark and deeper tissues of trees, causing rot which tuny make deep j holes, perhaps killing the tree In the courso of time. To remedy cases of this sort, the tree surgeon Is called upon to exercise his skill. -Medicine, however, suitably administered, by Injecting It Into the sap ducts of the tree may prevent or cure fungus diseases. Tn addition, by use of the proper chemicals, the destructive activities of boring Insects are dlscou raged. Source of Mother's Milk Scientists of the CAfhegle Institution of Washington have discovered the hormone, or gland secretion, that causes and governs the production of mothers' milk. Pathfinder Magazine reports: Dr. Oscar Riddle, Robert U. i Rates and Simon W. I.iykshorn, of the institution's department of genetics at Oohl Springs Harbor. N. Y., are credited with the find. The hormone, called "prolactin." is a secretion of i the pituitary gland. The discoverers obtained theirs from the pitiitnn-y ' glands of cattle and sheep. When Injected Info rabbits and guinea pigs It i caused the mammary glands to secrete ' milk. The Importance of the rtlscovi cry health authorities point out, Is that it proves a valuable aid to the j health of babies.

I'KN rORTWAIT OF A TORNADO What ihm Om Devastating Andarm County loiUi Uk? to HumaM \ Since midnight & aultriness of tho( atmosphere had fefccreaaed. The akiea were overcast, (but little rain fell. Shortly after 4 o'clock a. m. a light thunderstorm broke, but quickly subsided. It "brought an abrupt shower followed by a light driztle, which #u?pended at daylight. The Anderson Mail is describing the terrific tornado which devastated a wide swath through that county a week ago. That sultriness and the following murkiness was a part of its genesis, The trained observer continues his i>en portrait of a tornado: The mugginess of the atmosphere continued, and shortly after 9 o'clock came another thunderstorm. This continued $tA intervals until shortly after 2 o'clock, when the thunder became heavier. Abruptly a smutty, black cloud came boiling out of the southwest and swept around to the northwest. It hung low down, and churned about frantically like a scump of smoke whipped by the wind, Abruptly a roar became audible. It grew louder and louder. Then out. from ^apparently nowhere there popped a lung, grayish, tapering funnel. It snaked down toward the earth, twisting furiously. Se?#j?a,o{ persons in the business section of the city saw it, and there were shouts that a tornado had struck. i ^ Once contacting the earth, which was about midday, up Broad street in North Anderson, the tornado seemed to glide along at terrific speed, the tail trailing along out of the cloud like an enormous, tapering cone. It was blackish in color, but now and then came flashes of green as trees and leaves were whipped up into the vortex. A.nd streaks of lightning seemed to dart from its interior. , The funnel tore along at about 60 miles an hour, 'but the winds within the whirl probably revolved at two or three hundred miles an hour. Twisting like a snake and whipping about in a wide arc the twister tore across country to the southwest, bouncing every now and then, sometimes jumping over a space half a mile long. This probably accounts for the small amount of damage in North Anderson, for at that time the twister was on the bounce and didn't establish contact with the ground. j This tornado traveled roughly in the skme direction as others have cut across this county. It roared Idke a train going through a tunnel. The temperature dropped almost immediately. The storm mov^ed in a narrow path, the tone of greatest intensity being a quarter Of a mile wide. It took the cloud more than 10 minutes to travel from Anderson to Belton. Trees and buildings were twisted counter-clockwise. One barn was picked up, turned almost around, and, badly shattered, dropped back in place. Buildings?and posts were splattered with mud. The explosive action of the storm was exnmpled by windows blown outward, in some instances disappearing and leaving no trace. The walls of many buildings fell outward, the roofs dropping to the floor. In other cases the roofs were amoved with bulging walls left in place. Grass and shrubs were torn up by the roots, as were hundreds of trees, and the earth laid bare. In some places holes were apparently dug into it. Orchard trees wore stripped of leaf and twig and left standing. To even 'begin enumerating the freakish pranks played iby the tornado would require a book for everywhere one looked in the storm zone we<re won* dors testifying to the power of that roaring vortex, . . George A. Sloan, president of the Cotton Textile on "Wodnedday sent President Koooevekt A telegram announcing thajt the inetttute'a directors had aneoomrmended a j 4<M?oar wefek in cotton mills during n*a* Sloan termed as the "emergency period." iSloan also reconrmamfod that cot/ton mill machinery /be operated no more than two 40-hour shifts during any one week. Organized labor is opposed to President Roosevelt's plans for reorganization of the raiLroads of the country, j because it will probably have the effect of throwing many men out of i employment. Secretary of Commerce Roper says that the "purpose of the! bill is to assist the railroads to help themselves." | Knight I. Faacette, 60, and his son, ' Jack, JO, -were murdered in their laundry at Plainfield, N. J., Monday night. Shortly afterward the dead body of Theodore J. Zeller, 50, was found by 'the pottee, a suicide. The police are ! of opinion that Zeller killed the two ' laundrymen.
