ELECTRICITY AND TORNADOES.
Prof. Tlce's Observation! on the It r cent
aflawturt Tornado IIU Theory or the
.Electrical Came of Cyclones.
From the St. Louis KcpubMcan.
The word cyclone is of comparatively
recent invention, and is onlyto be
found in the more recent editions of
dictionaries. It is the generic name
for all storms that have a rotary motion
arountl an axis, such as whirlwinds,
tornadoes, waterspouts and hurricanes.
These are species of cyclones. Hence
every tornado is a cyclone, but every
cyclone is not a tornado. It may be a
dry whirlwind, a eandspout, a water
spout, etc.
From all facts so far ascertained the
storm-center, whose cloud-canopy car
ried the tornado, had a forward motion
or translation across the continent from
southwest to northeast at the rate of
fort3'-three miles an hour. Evidently
the tornado was not continuous, nor
was it formed at any lixed point on the
cloud, but at various points on the
cloud, and at different times numerous
intumescences formed which developed
into cloud-spouts and dropped as tor
nadoes. In proof of this, fifteen min
utes after the tornado had passed
through and devastated Mars'lilicltl, an
other cloud-spout -was scon dangling
from the .ky and sweeping with equal
if not greater fury through Panther
Valley, fourteen miles south of Marsh
field. Nor did the tornado sweep with
uniform velocity along the face of the
earth, but it was seen at times for a few
moments to stand still, and then with
inconceivable velocity to dart forward
again; however, only to halt again for
breath. It was on such a dart that it
swept through Marshlield in less than
half a minute. One of the citizens ol
undoubted veracUy, who was in it, but
whose house was fortunately not
wrecked, who was looking at it while
coming and passing, to give an idea of
the shortness of its duration said he
could think of nothing that would give
an idea of it except " that two of us
being together, I, facing south, saying
Here she comes;' he, facing north, "say
ing 'There she goes.'" 'JLweuty per
sons at least were present who were in
the tornado and they corroborated this
statement. They said and their state
ments were continued by Mr. T. K.
Paul and others who had" war experi
encethat an unearthly howling, as
though the air were filled with thou
sands of Hying shells, heralded the ap
proach of the tornado, a momentary
tremor of the house and then a w-h-i-sh
and the house was gone, and all was
over. '
The shortness of the duration is an
important fact that must not bo over
looked in explaining facts that will be
mentioned hereafter. At one point be
side the railroad, some four miles be
fore it reached town, it excavated the
earth to a depth of live feet, according
to some, and of much greater depth ac
cording to others, and several rods
square. This is a repetition of what
was done in Reno County, Kan., on
the 17th day of , May, 1878, when at
least one-half an acre of the soil w:is
shot into the cloud-spout, as though a
mine had been exploded underneath.
According to the monthly weather re
view for May. 1878, printed by the sig
nal olllce, a similar explosion occurred
twice at Harrington, 111., on the 2,'Jd of
May, 187S, when in all respects a simi
lar tornado to'that of last Sunday swept
the States of Iowa, Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois. Tne Signal Ofliee,
however, gives the area of soil hurled
up in one ease about one acre, in the
other one and a quarter acres. For a
distance of about seven miles along the
railroad which the tornado followed
trees are not only prostrated and de
nuded of bark, but large trees ncarly
three feet in diameter were plucked
up by the roots and carried forward.
In town forest trees a foot in diameter,
standing in lawns, were plucked up
by the roots ami carried away. Stones
from five to six feet in their shortest
diameters were lifted out of the ground
and carried to the top of a hill. A
stone estimated to weigh 4,000 pounds
fell in a field belonging to J. C. Rose,
killed with several of his family by the
destruction of his house. The distance
it was carried and whence it came had
not been ascertained. In the great
Georgia and South Carolina tornado of
Mareh 20, 1875, a stone over two feel
thick and weighing from 18,000 to
20,000 pounds, although only expos
ing on one side five inches to the
tornado, was lifted out of its
bed and carried seven feet. As in
all tornadoes, houses, both frame and
brick, were lifted from their founda
tions, the former generally carried
some distance, the latter hurled back
and crushed on their foundations. Like
elsewhere, wagons, buggies, carriages,
sewing-machines, everything with iron
about it, seemed to be the objects of its
especial fury. Not a metallic roof of
any kind is left in town. The Post
oQice, owned by Mr. Smith, the most
substantial brick building in town and
covered with tin, was utterly demol
ished, while the tornado to reach it
passed over two buildings covered with
shingles. After demolishing several
other adjacent buildings, also covered
with tin, it leaped over a brick house
covered with shingles, doing no harm,
pouncing upon the houses north, and
sweeping them and everything clean to
beyond "the city limits. The High
School, corered with shingles, stood
three hundred yards from the nearest
point of the tornado's track. It was
intact, but, unfortunately, its tower was
covered with tin. The whole tower' to
the square was torn down. The powder-house
stood southwest of the
school-house, not nearer than six hun
dred feet to the track of the tornado.
It was newly built and covered with
tin. The roof was snatched oil and
hurled about eight hundred feet north
west into the center of the tornado,
passing a two-story frame dwelling un
harmed. A house two squares east of
the Court-house, and four hundred feet
beyond the eastern line of destruction,
covered with shingles nailed upon an
old tin roof, lost the greater parj; of the,
roof. The mill north" of the town was
a quarter of a mile from the track f
the tornado, yet -the iron smoke stack
was snatched off and carriedlfoTir miles
and lodged in a-tree-top. The suscepti
bility of metallic roofs being wrenched
off even when long distances outside of
the track of tornadoes I have observed
as a uniform occurrence elsewhere.
I have repeatedly called attention to
tuo lact that tornadoes begin or ex
pend their greatest energy upon bodies I
of water or railroads. In my lecture at i
Indianapolis I called attention to the
fact that the tornado which passed
through that city on the night of the
1th of March last began on White
River; leaped to Fall Creek, then upon
the car stables at the end of the Indiana
Avenue Horse Railroad, then upon the
canal skirted by the Lafayette Railroad,
then upon two other horse railroads,
and finally leaving the city on the Peru
Railroad, doing all its damage and ,
manifesting its most terrific energy at
these point". J
The tornado ol Sunday uraiiK up an
the ponds and rivers on its track from
Arkansas to .Marshfield. It in all cases
manifested its most intense energy at j
these points. Take, for instance, the
junction of James and Fiudley Rivers, '
both of which it dranic up, where h icii
with its most destructive fury upon the
adjacent settlement, which it utterly
devastated, the destruction of which is
unparalleled in the history of torna- j
does.
The phenomenon that attracted rnost J
attention and gave ri.se to the greatest
diversity of opinions was the denuda-,
tion of trees, saplings, hedge?, shnil-'
berv, etc.. of their bark, either partial-
Jy or totally. 1 he side lacing ine tu
rection the htorni came was generally
divested of bark, while the whole tree
or shrub was not generally denuded.
As most of the area swept by the tor
nado was a stream or perfect avalanche
of matter, consisting of dust, sand,
gravel, stones, brick, lumber, debrjs of
wrecked hou.se.?, in fact everything
movable in its path, hence there was no
lack of evidence that tiees, shrubbery,
bushes, etc., were hit with flying mis
siles. In fact they1 were completely
peppered with them. The conclusion
was therefore jumped at that all the
denudation of bark was the sole effect
of hurled missiles assisted by the
wind. It hence became a desidera
tum to find a locality where no
missiles were flying and where
the barking of the trees was not on the
hide facing the direction from the
southwest that the storm was moving,
but in the direction the tornado was at
the time. Such a locality I found on
the point between two ravines, on the
declivity of the hill on which had stood
Judge Ranics' house, totally wrecked
by the tornado. It is about one hun
dred 3'ards south of where the road
coming from town, following one ra
vine north, crosses the ravine coining
from the southeast, about two hundred
j'ards above the mill. There is a pile of
wagons and wheels at the crossing. The
tornado, after destroying Barnes' houce,
for a few moments stood still at the
base of the hill ami then leaped upon
the hill east. While standing still its
center was about one hundred and lift3
3ards southeast of the point to which 1
have reference. The trees at this point
had lost their bark on the southeast
side, that is on the side facing the tor
nado, and a strong wind as is shown
bv sonic trees broken down or uproot
ed came from the northwest, that is
from the side opposite to that from
which the trees had parted with their
bark. Here were trees standing up
right shattered, as elsewhere, into thin
strips, no thicker than lath, not like
those which wore in the track of the
tornado facing the direction the storm
came, but in the direction it was then
halting, that is southwest.
I was moreover so fortunate as to
find more than I sought, in fact more
than I dreamed of as existing. I found
some trees black oaks that had losta
strip or two of bark, but all that re
mained on the tree was separated from
tho trunk and some of it hanging loose.
I found the bark entirely detached from
the stem and incasing it like a sheath.
I pulled it off 1)3 piecemeal all arouud
one tree and down to the roots. Further
search resulted in finding a hickory
tree species, carya sulcata, tho thick
shelled and thick-barked hickory -that
also had its bark detached b3 an explo
sion from the stem, not one particle of
it gone, however, but most of it hang
ing so loose that it can be shaken. Not
a vestige can be seen on the bark of any
flying missile having struck the tree.
"It is one of the most wonderful, im
portant and significant physical facts I
ever saw. It should be secured 1)3 some
scientific institution, and, if not for its
scientific importance, as a memento of
one of the most fatal tornadoes on
record. But it will be of inestimable
value for stinly and information to fu
ture generations in their researches into
the. mysteries of Nature. The tree
stands about a rod northwest.of a shat
tered black oak equally as interesting
and significant, whose top, bowed
southeastward for l hold there was no
wind b3T the electric attraction of the
intense vortex, was prevented from
breaking down b3 forming a brace of a
strip tvo inches thick, split off the
trunk by a simultaneous explosion. The
strip is not separated from the trunk at
its ends. The brace makes an angle of
about one hundred and thirty-five de
grees. It is evidently owing to the
simultaneousncss of the pull and ex
plosion that the brace was formed. The
fragment, forced out 1)3 tho explosion,
was prevented from returning 1)3 the
shattered trunk bending from the pull
at its top at the same instant.
1 brought away specimens of limbs,
stems from Osage orange hedges ami
tops of brush that were in the track of
the tornado. They are not onl divest
ed of their bark, but the ends of the
limbs and tho smallest twigs even are
rifted into fine fibers so that thc3 look
like paint-brushes or little brooms.
There is a significant fact accompanying
this rifting which gives a clew that un
ravels the whole mystciy. This fact is,
that only green branches and twigs are
rifted into fibers, the twigs to the very
stems to which the are attached. The
dry and dead branches and twigs are
intact.
What explanation can be given of
these phenomena, and what cause can
be assigned for their occurrence? There
is but one explanationJiiaJLcan be given,
and 1 :t one cause that carf Reassigned
forr..i of them. That "explanation is
that they all are the effect of electric
action, and consequent that electrici
ty is the cause of them.
That electricit3 is the cause of them
is evident from well-established elec
tric laws and from well-known modes
of electric action. Beccaria, one hun
dred and fifteen years ago, perforated a
solid rlass bail two inches in diameter.
In one end of the perforation he put a
wire and a drop of water on the end
of it; in the other end he put another
wire in contact with the water. Roth
wires were part of a circuit in connec
tion with a Leyden jar. In passing a
discharge through the circuit, the glass
ball was dispersed into dust. What
was the cause of this explosion and
consequent dispersion?
One pound of water measures 22.752
cubio inches. If the water be gasified
it will make 44,882 cubic inches of gas.
that is 14,934 cubic inches of oxygen
gas and 29.8SS cubie inches of hydro
gen. The water, therefore, in being;
gasified, dilates about two thousand
times in volume. Tha passage of the
electric current electroh'ses, that is
gasifies, as instantaneously the water as
fire explodes gunpowder- The drop of
water hence was instantaneously ex
panded to two thousand times its orig
inal volume, and this shattered the glass,
ball into fine dust.
The sap under the bark and in the
bodv" of green wood was in the torna
do Instantly gasified b3 the bursting up'
from the earth of a negative electric
current to meet the positive electrici
t3 descending on the cloud-spout An
explosion was the consequence; the sap,
or rather the water in it, was expanded
by ga.iticntion two thousand tim in
volume, throwing off the bark, shatter
ing tho trunk and rifting the green
twi'.s into minute fibers. That thi
wasVhat took place is proven conclu
sively by the fact that the dead and dry
limbs arid twigs were not affected, and.
thou"h in immediate contact with green
ones, remained intact
The great affinity of tornadoes for
bodies of water, fof railroads, for me
tallic roofs, for anything made of metal
or containing iu is explained upon the
same principle. Metals are the best
conductors of electricity known. They,
hence, respond with the greatest alac
rit to the inductive action of the elec
tric cloud, and confront it with h'ghcr
charges of electricity than am other
objects uon the surface of the earth.
Tho most violent electric explosions,
hence, occur at the joints covered by
metals. Every one conversant with
electric laws knows that this will be the
natural and inevitable result.
I could take up seriatim all the phe
nomena attending tornadoes ami dem
onstrate that tnu3 are the elleets of
eloctricit, but I have neither time nor
space to devote to that purpo-e. One
more remark ant! I will cloe. Tuat
tornadoes are electric phenomena is
beyond controversy. All experience
and' observation prove it conclusive! v.
This proof is amply furnished in their
aspect, if it were in nothing else. The
funnel-shaped pitch-black cloud-spout
depending and dangling from the buff
colored or deep orange upper cloud in
dicates it. A fiery red core is some
times in this jet-black spout: sometimes
green, blue ant! red llames run all
arouud and over the lower end of the
spout as though it were on lire; at
other times the spout has a dull leaden
core like a burning candle surrounded
by a ha.e with a phosphorescent glow.
These aspects are constantly changing,
ami endure but for a moment.
At some points after this last mot
wonderful meteor had parsed tire balls
brought up the rear, exploding like
rockets; at other points electric cur
rents for half an hour Mowed through
iron mils anil wires. A telegraph used
by boys in Marshlield to learn the art
of telegraphing was thus affected for
more than thirty minutes afterward.
That water was gasified 1)3 the tornado
is proven b3 the odor of sulphur, or
rather phosphorus, along the track.
This odor was ozone, and 07.0110 is
oxygen gas just liberated from its com
bination with other elements.

A Middle Class Needed iu Russia.
The new.semi-ollieial Russian paper,

Profits of Railway Speculations.
Gould's winnings during the la,
year are variously estimated, but on an
reckoning his capital has been rolling
up like a snow-ball. The New Yorl
Public says that a year ago he sold 100,
000 shares of Union Pacific for aboil'
37.500,000. Then he bought a con
trolling interest in Kansas Pacific
which was at 12, for about 8000,000.
and in the next six months the stocl
rose to 92, netting S4.000.000. Wabasl
was at 18 when Gould bought, rneu 333
two-thirds of the stock, and it rose later
to 62A. His profits on the consolidatiot
of the St Louis Northern (which hi
bought at 7 and saw rise to 47) ami
Wabash are p"ut at S4.850.000. In tl
by spending about $3,850,000 for stocks
Gould has netted 11,000,000, if ai
important if he were to sell out.
.Meanwhile he can borrow cm his hold
ings two or three times the amount of.
his original capital. The question ii
Wall Street now is how much Gould ex

The serio-comic ideas that enter the
head of Sambo, when exercised on re
ligious matters, causing anxiet3 per
haps to himself hut laughter to the
listener, were exemplified in the case of
an 44 uncle" in Chester, S. C, who had
been to a camp-meeting, and returned
greatl3 troubled about his sins. Per
ceiving him one day with a downca3t
look, his master asked him the cause.
44 Oh, Massa, I'm such a great sinner!"
44 But, Pete, you are foolish to take it so
much to heart. You never see me
troubled about my sins." 4I know de
reason, Massa: when you go out duck
shooting, and kill one "duck and wound
another, don't a 01 run after de wound
ed duck?" "Yes, Pete." And the
master wondered what was coming
next. "Well, Massa. dat is de way
wid you and me: de debbil has got you
snre; but, as he's not sure of ine, he
chases dis chile all de time!"
X Repeated Hat.
It is a great man who can turn mis
fortune into gladness. Jones did this.
Placing his new hat very carefully vn
the sofa, it goes without saying Mi
Hcwiwate utilized it" for a cushion
When she arose that hct looked like r.
dried codfish iu the last stages of con
sumption. If Jones had been an ordi
nary mortal he would have used lan
guage bordering on the profane. He
did not; perhaps he was not able to
rise to the eminence of the occasion.
He rushed home with that desiccateo
hat. He cried out eagerly to Mrs. J-:
"Here, dear, how Ho 30U like it?
Thought I would give you a specimen
of my taste once. With hands that
wereglo wing she seized it, and, tripping
to the mirror, fastened it on to her bacK
hair, and exclaimed, with something
like the old honevmoon love lighting he
eyes: 4 Why, John! you're a perfect
jewel! It's "just lorely! To tlunk that
you have been hiding our light under
a bushel all Jhese ears!" But alas for
human frailty! If Jones had only kept
his face straight his duplicity might
never have been discovered, and the
cloud that soon crowded upon his wife's
countenance might never have been."
As we have said. Jones. was a great
man. bat he didn't stay great long
enough to be of any use as. an exemplar
to husbands in general. Bcston Tran-acripL

j srnts.es are in their best estate v.-ry
early in the s'pnng, some in the mnl lit- ,
of summer, and others quite late in the j
fall. The vanctiet th.it fpriiig up nrt '

of little value iu Jul and August. I
Many of the grasv alVord a very Inert I

at tho end of that time aflord ery little -Orchard
and blue gra-s will stippU f,ed
longer than mo-t varieties, but they '
will not produce an abundance at any

ject should be to insure a large amount
of feed at all seasons. j
It is much e:uier to keep a supply of
grass and clover in 11 pasture that ha- 1
an uneven surface than in one where 1
the land is nearly uniform as respects
oleation and moisture. Red top pro-
duces feed abundant in quantity am! j

wlien it grows on high, dry soil
White clover does its be-t on dry knolls
and hill sides, but doe' not lloiirUh on
lands that are moist Bed clover thrives
ou loamy soils that are neither very
moist nor very dry. Alsikeor Swedish
clover will grow on land that is quite
moist during a large part of the ear.
Red clover and timothy do poorly in a
partial shade, but while clover ami
orchard grass flourish finely in groves
that have been cleared of uudcr-bruh.
foul meadow and blue-joint delight in
swampy places where many grasses will
not grow at all.
A constant supply of pure anil tolera
bly cool water is essential to a good
pasture. The value of a good spring
or a spring brook is hardlv to be esti
mated in gold. Its price is above all
wells, pumps and windmills. By means
of a spring a trough or reservoir may
be kept full at all times without trouble
or expense. A lanro pasture should be
supplied with several troughs or pools
where stock cati drink. During very
hot weather animals will sutler with
thirst rather than go long distances to
obtain water to drink. If there is but
one place in a pasture where water can
be obtained animals will quarrel to see
which shall have the first chance, and
ihevounger and more feeble will In
likely to receive injuries. A liberal
supply of pure water is essential t ) the
production of a large yield of good
milk, and it is eqiiall important for the
formation of fat and muscle.
Kvery pasture should contain some
shelter, whieh is as grateful to beasts a
to men. If there are no native trees no
time should be lost in planting trees
that will afford shade. Linden and Cot
tonwood grow ver rapidby in prairie
oil and soon furnish a dense shade.
Man other hardy trees do well on dif
ferent soils. Trees planted in clusters
do much to beautify a pasture, besides
furnishing stock places of shelter from
the blazing sun. Wind-breaks are no
less useful than ornamental. They pro
tect gras as well as stock. A wind
break of European larch trees will or
nament a farm as nothing el-e can.
while it will protect the grass for a long
distance and furnish a delightful shade.
A few open sheds formed of cheap ma
terial are very valuablo for affording
protection in time of storm. The sup
ports may be osts in the ground while
the roof may be covered with thatch.
The pasture. like all other portions
of the farm, requires constant care. As
grasses disappear from any cause seed
should be sown that the full amount of
feed may be supplied. The hand
scythe or mowing-machine should be
used to cut weeds" and tall grass that
run up to seed. The droppings of cat
tle should be broken up and scattered
over the ground. Most pastures re
quire a top-dressing of manure every
third or fourth year. Well-rotted and
linery-pulverized stable manure, allies,
land-plaster and salt are all excellent
for this purpose. Stable manure should
be applied late in the fall, so that it wi'l
be distributed by the late rains. It will
not only afford food for the grass and
clover during the summer, but will be
of great advantage as a mulch. Chi

The ApiM-tile of Bread.
Dm you know that bread is not only
eaten, but eats? Darwin has told us
.that some flowers enjoy a porter-house
steak. Xow M. Schetircr Kestuer as
sures us bread lias a negro's partialitv
tor hogs and hominy. The discovery is
interesting to dyspeptics, for bread can
oe made to do the work of tho alimen
tary canal and relieve dyspeptics of all
oot'her except mere deglutition and, r.f
course, paying the baker's bill, which
is harder work than digestion. Science
.has since found that several vegetable
juices, or sap, dissolve meat, but M.
Schetircr Kcstner is the fir-t person who
bservetl that in the process of brcad
naking a peculiar fermentation takes
olace which produces complete diges--ioti
of meat A beefsteak hashed fine

lisappcars entirely" bv the time the
bread is taken from the oven. The
-.tcak's -nutritive principles are di--olvetl
and incorporated into the breath
s"ot the least curious phenomenon no
iced iu these circumstances" is that
neat, which so rapidly becomes putrid,
when once incorporated into bread
may be keot longer than ordinary
iread. Bread made in 1873 has been
-hown the Acadcny of Science: it was
ts sweet and free from mold as when it
eame out of the oven.
At first M. Scheurer Kestner used
raw meat; he mixed one and ouc-ienth
numds of flour, one poui.d of leaven
md three-fourths of a pound of raw
beef minced tine; water in suflicicnt
quantity was added, and the dough was
eft to ferment. In two or three hours
the meat had disappeared. The bread
was then baked as usual. This meat
oread had a disagreeable, sour taste
Lo remove it M Scheurer Kestner lirst
ooiled the meat in just the qnanlit of
water necessary to wet the dour, and
used this water iu kneading. The meat
-hould be. rid of all fat. and onl salt
enough to season the bread added; for
tf too much salt be added the bread will
oeconie humid (salt being a great ab
sorber of water) -and spoiL The objec
tion to this bread is ..tint it is insipid.
If bacon be used instead of beef the objection-
is removed. Veal. too. makes
