St. Jobki'H, Mo, April Ctb. My
last bulletin gave forecasts of tbo
storm waves to crojs the continent
from April 10th to 14th and tho
next will reaoh tbo PaoiGo coast about
tho 15th, cross tho western mountains
by tho nloso of the lGtli, tho great cen
tral valloys from 17ih to 18th, and
tho eastern states about the 20th.
This will bo of moro than usuol
foroo, of wido extent, a dangerous
storm, and will probably devolop tor
nadoes and bo accompanied by an
oleotrio d.stutbanco. It will probably
develop its greatest foroo in and west
of tho Mississippi valley, and if accom
panied by tornadoes, they will prob
ably striko some part of tho country
lying west of tho Mississippi and
south of Dakota and Minnesota. This
storm will causo sovcro wtathor gener
ally in tho United States and Canada.
Several days of warm weather will
preccdo this storm, and a warm wave
will cross tho western mountains
about tho lDthtfao great central val
leyB about tho f17th, and tho eastern
Btatcs about tho 19th. Tlio coolwavo
will cross tho western mountains
' ' ut tho 18th, tho great central val
leys about tho 20lb, and tho eastern
states about tho 22d. This cpol wavo
will bo quite sovcro in tho upper Mis
souri valley about tho 18th or 19th:
THE TOHNAUO.
Our earth in its "long breaths."
caused by an unusual accumulation of
eloctrioity, or ether of space, through
a combination of tlcotro-magnetlo
forocs, suddenly brought on by tho
oyor varying positions of thoso electro-magnetic
bodies, tho moon and
planets first inhales tho ether, as
man docs air and fibhes water, and
then exhales it. Tho lattor effort
sometimes produces tho tordado.
During a poriod of many weeks tho
earth's'velatilo elements evaporate, as
do similar elements of a comet when
tho latter is approaching tho sun, and
thus a vast amount of energy is stored
up In our earth's envelope. This on

transient, periodio and permanent
high barometers, the downpouring air
and oloctrio currents of which evapo
rate tho waters Irom tho oceans, lakes
and this moisturo returns in thosbapo
of rain, hail and snow.
When tho energy thus stored up
has expanded the atmosphere to its
fullest extent, and the causo has
passod its zenith of strength, the eth

a loss of a part of that etherio er oleo

"oloud-burst" or immense downpour,
Bomotimes termed the watsr Bpout,
Mon with much soionco and but lit
tle brains have led the masses to false-,
ly believe that tornadoes aro produced
by boat, whon in fact the hat, ofton
felt near but not in the tornado, is
only a result of clectrio tenion before
auch tension has resulted in expansion.
Tho heat theory is a fundamental
error resulting in a catalogue ef blun-
ders'on tho part ef orthodox physi
cists. To rightly understand tho tor
nado we must rejoot tbo teaching of
orthodox scientists and tho dohools
as to tho sun being hot body, and in
etead wo mutt understand that all the
heavenly bodies are cleotro-oagnele,
that light and heat do not como from
tho, sun, as suoh, but aro local results,
caused by tho forces of iho sun com
ing in coutaot with matter in our at
mosphere, That forco from tho sun
will bo best understood by most peo
ple when wo call it clectrioity, but it
is a grade ef oleotricity moro remote
from other than a gas is from a' gran
ite stone, and this sun force, which
results in host and light in our atmos
phere, must not be confounded with
that original electricity which wo call
ether.
The schools and orthodox scientists
also teach that tho frielion of tho wind
causcB tho intense electrical displays
wo ofton sco in the tornado. Tho re
vets of this is true. Electric cur
rents carry tho atmosphcro with them
and constitute tho oauso of winds.
Thcso may appear to be bold and
reckless statements, but in reply it
may bo said that orthodox scientists
never invent, never disoorcr. On tins
point tho Now York Electrioal World
says: "The history of thought shows
that from Aristotle to tho present all
groat advances havo been duo to those
who rebelled against tho tyranny of
authority. A lesson taught by the
story of Faraday and Maxwell is tho
great importance of keeping tho mind
free from the trammels of authority
and of aeademio methods of thought."
Atmospheric signs of the tornado
aro numerous, many of which cannot
bo distinguished from thoso of other
severe Btorras. When tho cumulus
fly very rapidly and tho iky between
them is of the deepest bluo, a severe
storm is surely in progress, though it
may be five hundred miles away. The
wind and clouds movo toward the
storm in such eases.
Dark green clouds indicato great
oncrgy that will probably soon bo man
ifest in a destructive storm. Dark
elouds with a bulbous appoarance de
mand immediate attention, and all
should go to the tornadj oavo whon
they appear.
Sometimes tho beat previous to a
tornado becomes almost unboarablo,
and a sickly, exhausted sensation takes
possession of all. At times no air
stirs and then it comes in puffs as
from a heated furnaoe, and tho heat is
not like the ordinary hoat from the
sun's rajs.
When tho tornado oomss in sight
all will know what it is without any
description being giveu here. Prena
tal education has instilled into tbo hu
man raoo an instinot that enables us
to know a tornado on sight as readily
ai tho day-old ohick knows its deadly
enemy, tbo hawk, Uut 'immediately
preceding tho tornado, and ono of the
last indications beforo tbo destroyer
arrives, ib tho scud clouds. They aro
gray colored, frizzly edged, fly boforc
the wind with the speed of an arrow,
very low, ofton just above tho tree
topj. When thcso appear, it is full
time a plass of safety was found.' '
Tornadoes generally movo from
south-west to north-east booauso they
,usually oocur in the south-cast, quad'
rant of the storm center.
Tho storm osnters whirl against the
sun or against the hands of the watch
when the lattor is plaooi faco upward,
and hence tho wind and cloud move
ment in the south-east parts bavo a
general movement toward tho north
east, and carry with them tbo tornado

A 1IREAK IN TUE STATE 8TSTEM,
The great break in the eduoational
system of all Btatcs to-day is the laok'
of connection between tho rural, dis
triet ungraded sohool and tho Univer-1
sity. By this break, from seventy to
sononty-five per cent, of tho children
of this , stato,. of.isoheel age, aro net
pormittcd to go further than the dis
triot school unless they turn from the
froe school to tho fee sohool; from the
state system to what is, so tar as they
aro concerned, praotioally a private
system. But it is not always true
I that, even for a feeeltle will supply
est welfare of tho stato demands that
both opportunity and induoement
shculd bo continually present, and
that the broad and firm hi eh way of
sound training and of higher loarning
should be i'reoly opened to every child
of tbo stato.

Written Fo rTiiK Ciur.v,
"God mado to grow every trco that
is pleasant to the sight and good for
food." If Qod mado tho trees for
man's pleasure and happiness, it is
man's duty to oultivato and preserve
them, For tho comfott of our
animals wo should plant at proper
intervals and in propor places in onr
fields and pastures shado trocB, so
that our cattlo may rest and choiy
th'oir cuds, protected from tho scorch
ing rays of the sun; and where also
tho weary husbandman may stop
awhile and wipe tho sweat from his
brow and tako a draught of puro cold
water and be refreshed. "He that
plants a treo by tho roadsido is a pub
lic benefactor." Wo should all be
publio benefactors and plant trees by
tho roadsido not only to shield tbo
traveler from the. blasts of winter, and
proteot him by shade in summer from
the sun's scorching ray, but to glad
den his heart and give him sensations
of pleasure in beholding their forms' of
variety and beauty. Wo should plant
a suitable number of trees in our
ohuroh and sohool' yards, but 'not bo
near the house as 'to shut out tlie, life
qiviag and health preserving sunshine.
We should mako our villages worthy
of suoh names as "Elm City" "Forest
City," etc., and as wo plant out the
small trees we should remember that
tall oaks from little acorns grow,'1
and be careful and nol put "tEemtoo
near together. It is tho duty of over
ono that has a homo, to adorn thai
home with a varifty of woll trained
aud cultivated shade nnd ornamental
trees and mako it pleasant. It will
givo an inward ploasuro to him, hn
plantoth them, and the ohildron will
bo contontcd and fcol that thero is no
homo like "our homo," and when thoy
aro grown to manhood they ean look
baok to the "homo of their childhood"
with great pleasure and eatisfaotion
and "riso up and call their father
blessed" for making suoh pleasant
homes.
In adorning and ornamenting n
homo it would bo my tasto to havo not
too many trees in front, but havo the
houso present an "open faco", and
havo a look of hospitality, and have
tho yard Bconted with "tho bain of n
thousand flowers."
A word of exortation. To tho nged
I would say, plant a trco; by so doing
you will confor a lasting boncflt on
posterity, and erect a monuuiont de
serving of all praiso to your memory
which may nourish tor centuries in n
grcon eld ago whon you havo pasted

plant trees. If old ago shall creep on
you unawares, they will bo pleasing
reminisconccs of sunny hours which
passed away ero oare had marked your
brow with its haggard furrows. You
will find tho employment agreeable,
and the pleasuro of looking in after

.which have boon tho subjects of your

cooviyiality "whioh havo grown with
your growth and strengthened with
your strongth," will not only bo very
great but suoh as tbo vasoillaling
circumstances of tho world oannol

trees plant forest trees, plant shado
trees, plant ornamental trees, and
erect ovcrgrcen walls or screens, not
only for jour own benofit, and tho
benefit of thoso that aro to como after

but to kindlo an interest in rural im
