that he Is treasuier of the 1'nlted Soci

The orgnnlzatloii of the Free theater
was a notable event lu our dramatic
life. sas Xovoye Yieinya (St. Peters
burg). Kiiiiy last .ve.ir the llrst at
einpts were made to produce literary
and artistic plays, nud. although there
wns no regain eomp,iu. the degiee of
success attained was gratifying. Among
the lilays produced were "Henry IV."
and other Shakespearean dramas. (5er
bardt llauitmann's "llannele" fol
lowed and had to lie given thirteen
times, the audience being laige and en
thiisl.ibtie. l2ncouraged by this sign of
public favor, the managers leased a
t heater, organized a regular company
nnd inaugurated a series of remarkable
piodiictlons of Russian pla.vs, new nnd
old. Tolstoi's "Power of Darkness"
was given, and this alone was a great
set vice to art n well as literature. The
play wns dNciisseil widely and thor
oughly and created u sensation. The
Free theater also seemed special per
misnlon of the lor.il authorities to pro
duce a play by I'oteliblu It is safe lo
say that neither of these plays would
ever have bren staged by private man
agers. A number of gieit foreign plays
followed by Ibsen. Siidermnuu, Mne
teillnck. Victor Hugo nud others. In
all seventy-two performances were giv
en, and the average receipts wete 802
l ubles (said to be unusually large for
Russia). Coiudilerlng the gieat llnan
clal nnd artistic obstacles which the
movers In this enterprise had to over
come, the iccord of the llrst year N
oNcellent. The public willingly patron
ized the Fiee theater, and at all events
there leiunins the fact that a new
private theater has been established
which subordinates all considerations
to the true Interests of literature and
the drama.

popular idea that the circular motion
Is a noroa.s.ir feature of the tornado,
Piof. Hazen gave (he following de
scription of the formation of a typical
Western toinudo:
On a epilei but veiy hot afternoon
there suddenly appears In the south
west horizon an ominous, gieenlsh
black cloud; tho sky Is almost cloudless
overlie-.'!, ami there Is u gentle south
wind blowing towards tho general
storm, which almost Invariably will be
found to tho northwest and about font
hundred milei avv.iy. Occasional light.
Ileecy cirrus ilnudi-, also generall from
the south, pas far above one's head.
Suddenly the black cloud draws near,
preceded by a tremendous mass of dust
and a terilhle roar llkenod to "tho
bello-lug or a million mad hulls" or
to "the passage of ten thousand train,
of cats through a tunnel," Is heard.
This eh iracterNtlc mar Is usually
heutel at least fifteen nilnutea before
the arrival of the tornado, and, lu con
Junction with other signs, gives ample
.varulng of U" approach.
The cau.se of this roar Is not easy to
determine. It is like a continuous
roar of thunder. It la without doubt
sonio manifestation of electricity, and
it has been heard in a violent thunder
Btornt. The wind now blows violently
from a western point, but It Is hardly
proper to say tint ll shifts to tho west,
as tho cause of tho west wind has no
connection with that of tho previous
current from tho south. Almost Im
mediately tho tornado, often ushered
In by a fearful pelting of hall. Is upon
us. On the south sldu tho destruction
