--EBRYONC TORNADO, Singuiar 'Phenomenon Witnessed a and Near New Orleans. A singular phenomenon recently me the eyes of the good burghers of New Orleans, La. Some excitedly called oui that it was a- cyclone, others called it t waterspout, and still others dubbed il whirlwind and tornado. Whatever I! was. it was, at all events, very activt nd ;nRtaacing for a quarter of an hour, a::d kept a large portion of the com mt itf in painful suspense until it dis' appeared.

Although a great THE WONDERFUL CLOUD. di.stance from the center of the city, it could be seen that the cloud cylinder was revolving at a terrible clip in space. For a w hile it hung gracefully pen dant, t'hen by force the centrifugal ac tion began to li.ft at the bottom until it had assumed the shape of an enormous siekle, thrust downa angrily from heaven. ready to mow away all be fore it. The next change Was one of gradual dissolution, the tail curling up and theh flying off at right angles to the east -ward in thin black vermiculate stream ers like snakes. At one time in the process of dissolution it looked as if It were going to reform, but of a sudden gave over the idea and melted.away i space, much as a cloudlet deed In the blaie of a summer day, . As~soon as the cloud had dissolved, or drawn back into the big nimbus from whieh it was born, heavy showers of -rain fel from opposite ends of the mother cloud and soon cleared thte at mosphere.

What is to be done under conditions that obtain in many parts of the coun try? is the question raised by a mem ber of the League of American Wheel men. He says: "We have in this township assessed roughly at $350,000 some sixty miles of road. We cannot spend $10,000, $1000 or even $500 per mile on these roads. There is not enough money in the township, all told, to do it, and the law linits the bonded indebted ness. To select ai few miles of tlIe principal highway is not just to the poor feliow who helps pay for it and must drive five or ten miles to reaeh it. "Much better-work might be done than we arcfoing, but it remains that many mr.esmust be attentled to with few dolln."s. What most is need ed is careful consideration of existing conditions-how :best to spend $1200 or $1500 o./'ity miles of road, re ser ' $200 or $300 of that for the winter's snows. Teach us serviceable lessons for communities of this sort; and do not expect asphalt, macadam or steel until tha fellows froi town help to build them (and the.y haven't built their own yet). "No wonder the rustic kicks if the road is to cost more than the entire value of all the farms through which it passes. He appreciates good roads, but must remember his slim pocket book. He laughs a little, too, at the big saving heavier loads would make for him. Nine out of ten of him at that time of year have little to do for self or team f&nd are not crowded with what they have to market. He would rather make two trips than one, as he and the horses both need the exer= eise.' The tendency in such cases as this is to underestimate the beneficial ef fects of hard roads and to assume that they are of value only during the win ter. They are of enormous value then, and of equally great value in summer and 'the busy seasons, when the possi bility of hauling big loads is money in the pocket. In the past, the farmer has been left too much to his own resources in the care of the highways. 'w, however, State aid is rapidly bei >iowledgedl as the proper means iF-p6oting the good work, and the States are slowly but surely falling into line in adopting it. Until it is generally in force, there may be time for much good work to be done, and the first steps toward real improvement can be taken by se curing careful grading, thorough drain age and the adoption of wide tires. In this connection the experiences of two southern counties is right to the point. In one, the loads average 2466 pounds and the tax is ten cents a hun dred. In the other the loads are but 800 pounds and tho tax twenty cents a hundred. Improved methods reduced the road tax one-half, and greatly im proved 4he roads. ..This county owns grader, plows, cart:s, implements and six mules, and a superintendent and five men are kept at work on the roads. The work costs $55.17 a mile and though the roads are only plain "dirt," they are kept in such good condition that three* times as much can be hauled as on. roads-cared for in the old way. Here, surely, is a cheap and easy way to be gin.-L. A. W. Bulletin. Inexpensive Road Repaira A correspondent suggests that the system of continual supervision and repair of road-beds used by the rail ways would no' be practicable on the highways, because the railway section1 foremen depend for their positions on the thoroughness of their work, have only short distances to care for, and can make themselves thoroughly fami liar with them, while highway com missioners frequently know and care nothing about roads, and have long stretches with which they have little time or opportunity to become ac quainted. As long as present conditions ob-1 tain, and highway commissioners are I chosen for political reasons, and de vote little time and attention to the roads, not much in the way of im provemnent is to be expected. It is the system which must be changed, and it will be when the people realize theI importance to the community of hay ing hard and smnooth roads on which to travel. It is not necessary to al ways build expensive roads costing, perhaps, from one to ten thousand dollars a mile, but present roads can< be vastly bettered by giving them con-i stant care, together with proper grad-1 iuig and drainage. This work his been successfully undertaiien in somei quarters and good resalts obtained, as in the case referred to last week, in ,whc the expense was so small that the road tax had been reduced, while the roads had been improved. I As long as present methods prevail,) "D" thinks that the farn:.ers, and those living off the main roads should be] interested in some way in looking af-: ter j the roads that pass theirlown doors, so that they would remove stones, fill up holes and see that all: water ran oli quickly, and suggested that they could pay a smnall part of their road tax in labor in this way, under the control of the road commis sioner. The old plan of "working" out roa(l taxes has been a complete failure, but it d oes not necessarily fol low that something of this kind would not work in some distri'-ts, especially if the people first become in sonme reasure convinced of the importance o0f the'1 A P'roblemx in, lN'~a' Imprvement.l T1he entrance to, the beautiful val ley of the 11:unp. -is at Suiffern, N. Y. The conty in ohich the town i lies has manny natural a'dvantages, but is unable to obtain benie ft from themn becau.se of the roads th:ough which the people "still flonr in the mire." .How easy it woul be for thema, and many other counties sim iliary situated, to improve their high ways is plainly shown by the Suflern Independent. There are sixty miles of road, and an expenditure of $2500 per mile on themi wonid create an indebtedness of $150,000. Suppose this amount was borrowed on bonds payable in from one to fifteen years at four per cent. By paymng the annual interest and six per cent. on the principal, the whole aiaunt conld be paid in twelve years and the roads kept in ordier, itota greater anniuai expenditure than the $16,000 now required for re pairing worthless roads. The assess ment <-f the county "is, in round num bers, y20,000,000 of which $150,000 is three-quarters of one per cent. Now,, taking the average assessment of the taxpayer to be $1000, his proportion of the entIre debt would be S7.50. and, his assessment for each year for this purpose wotild be seventy-five cents." Figure down this way, there seems nothing wanting to securing better highways but the will to make the' start. An Incotmi,iete E.timate. In the following estimate of the cost of laing stone roads some in= portant items have been omitted; The Indiana Farmer says that "the cost of brok: n stone for building roads is not so great as many suppose. It can be blight at the crushers for forty cents per solid yard, and the railroad will freight it forty miles or less, at about fifty cents per cnbia yard, making a total of ninety cents; but suppose we call it $1. Then if the road-bed is nine feet wide and the stone is piled on a foot deep; a cubic yard will cover three feet linear at a cost of $1, niaking one mile (1760 yards) cost as many dollars. But as only .abouit nina inches are necessary, one-fourth of this amount, or $140, should be deducted, making the ex act amount only $1320, which is cheap enough for a first-class road, the ma terial for which must be brought forty miles by rail." Substantial roads can be built at a thickness of nine inches, but the stone'used is by no means the only item of expense. The labor of hand ling, placing and rolling it must be considered and, more important still, careful grading and thorough drain age niust be secured- Hard roads can be built much more cheaply than formerly, but a "first-class" one can uot yet be laid at such low figures. Narrow Versus Wide Wagon Tires. Scientific experiments extending over two years have been made under the auspices of the Studebaker Broth ers, the widely-known wagon builders, to determine the relative qualities of wide and narrow-wheel tires. The The results are too extensive to give in full. Every kind of road was used to test the question. It was found that on macadam roads the narrow tires were far inferior to the wide, and they required much greater effort to lraw a given load. In a deeply-rutted >lay road, the narrow tires running in the ruts and the wide tires on top, the aarrow tires were far more efficient. rhis was also the case with wet mud. But as soon as the mud began to dry the wide tires showed a vast superior ty. In general, the only justification or narrow tires proved to be thor )ughly bad roads.--Youth's Com panion.

The Governor of Massachusetts has -ecommended a wide-tire law and the subject is.being taken up seriously. inch a simple and effective means of mproving poor roads and maintaining ood ones ought not to be neglected. Nature is not a road-builder-she ever prepares artificial means of liv ng. But she furnishes ample ma erial for every need, and science long ince learned to utilize what she offers o meet the necessities of our comn lex civilization. The farmers along a road in Central few York hale donated twelve hun red tons of stone, picked from around heir farms, for road improvement >rposes, and a neighboring stone rusher has been rented to properly repare the material for use. The ever-increasing tendency to ~oncentIrate in big cities can be coun eracted by making country life at ractive. But country life cannot be >ermanently attractive to city residents inless good highways afford inter ~ommunication and easy transit. Riabbits Put to Good Use. At last the much-abused rabbit has ound a friend in the person of a well enown Irish agriculturist, who -de ~lares that the little animal has at east one good trait. The gentleman n question owns a large tract of pas ure land on the banks of the river, ~hich of late years has been so over un with buttercups as to very con ~iderably interfere with the value of he ground as pasturage. A few seasons ago a few rabbits vere introduced on the farm near the iver, and these soon multiplied so fast is to threaten to overrun the whole estate, but it was soon noticed that he buttercups, formerly a scourge to he pasturage, had died down to iso ated clumps. On examining into the sause the f~armer discovered that the Labbits had, during the winter, cooped out the center of the butter up roots, with the result that these had disappeared beyond all possibility >f further growth, and grass has >rung up in the place of the flowers 3> distastefuil to the cattle.

The Very Strange Story of an O'Donne Among the Dons. In the early part of the century three brotaers named O'Donnell left their native coultry-Ireland, of course-and went to live in Spain, where they all had extraordinary- car S uers one died in 18G7 after he had became the Duke of Tetuan, though he as better known as General O'Don nell; he was one of the most brilliant military men of his time. The young hest brother was cut off in his youf, but nothing in the lIves of the others is so strange and touching as the stoy m of his death. In 1832 there was war in Spain re garding the secession to the theone, n and young O'Donnell declared himself for Isabella, who was indeed soon pro i claimed queen, but before that time I O'Donnell fell a prisoner to General - Zumalacarrequy, a leader of the Car list forces. The young Irishman looked d upon this as almost a piece of good luck, for the Carlist leader was an old .schoolmate of his. The two friends celebrated this meeting after a separa tion of years as a festive occasion; and as they ate supper together and drank toasts to old times, ZumnalacarrequIy said: ~"Your captivity will be brief, my trznu.' r amdsio of truce .to your general to negotiate -4 an exchange of prisoners, so that you~ may expect to be free tomorrow." The flag of truce was indeed .'cnt, but the result was terribly unexepected, ec The general of the Christanos (thai r was the name given to Isabella's party) ranswered the Carlist envoy by saying: i"I will show you how I treat rebels,' gand forthwith he had all his Carlsi th prisoners brought out and shot dovef - before the eyes of the Christians, and the officer had no better news than th( e story of their death to take back to hi! 'chief. d The next morning Zumalacarrequ: Acame into his tent where his prisons if was breakfasting, wearing a very un happy expression; he sat down in si lence. Cd "What is the matter?" asked O'Doa at nell. "Have you slept badly, or Wa: A your chocolate burnt?." es "I am immensely disturbed," was the r answer, and he told how the Carlis ibi prisoners uad been shot, and added s "I must make reprisals. My friend ' in -'ne hour's time you must be shot, na k m.tter how I feel about it." ~O'Donneil set down his cup, afte 'finishing his chocolate, and said: "Yes to that is a matter of course; you must e- not distress yourself about it; I woul, aet in the same way myself. Now giv Sme a couple of cigarettes and writini tR material, for I must write a lettei Swhich I will trouble you to take car :: of after my execution." As he was finishing the letter th guard came to take out the prisoner! ted O'Donnell got up at once, shook hand >u with the man who was both his frien and his enemy, lit another cigarett '6 and walked out to be shot. 8.It Was Ounly Ice. v."Iron mills are hotplcstwi in, but the men have lots of fun wit all their hard work,'' said a retired iro man to a Washington Star reporter. -c -'The other day I took a walk throu~ tseveral mills over in Pennsylvania ths I am interested in.
