Hvoiilil be made effective by means of a
'system of dynamite bombs connected
with the etntlona by wires. It would
not be necessary to keep guard all tlu
time, and the men appointed for the
purpose would only go on duty when
warning wait received from the
Weather Hureau that conditions were
favorable for cycloncte. On Feeing a
funnel cloud approaching the operator
would simply wait until It got near
enough and then touch off the car
tridges, which would blow It to smith
me ni.

than a marine tornado. Occasionally
they have been Feen to run upon the
land and transform themselvcH into
'cyclones.' If the tornado were not
destroyed by the dynamite explosions
It would be likely to be deprived of so
much of itft energy ar. to be rendered
Incapable of doing harm. The cost
of maintaining such systems of de
fense throughout the eyclono licit
would not amount In 1,000 years to the
JliO.OOO.OOO which the recent calamity
Is said to have cost St. Iouls.
"Money ought to bo appropriated by
congress for studying th's strange and
little-understood phenomenon. It Is
most Important that we should learn
about the mechanism of the tornado
a meteorological disturbance capable
of destroying $20,000,000 worth of prop
erty lu ten minutes. All we know at
present Is that the energy of the 'cy
clone' must be electrical. It is always
accompanied by a severe thundtv
storm. The Weather Hureau report
cays that during the St. Louis torna.lc.
the 'electrical display was ewcee.lijiglv
brilliant, the whole west and nortli
.jvest elty being an almost continual
blaze of light. IntciiFely vivid Cashes
of forked lightning were outlined In
KPijcn, blue and bright yellow against
(lie duller background of ncYer-ceai-lng
sheet lightning.'
"Evidently, then, It Is nccesnry that
we should find some me.itiu of iliivil
patlng the electricity with which the
destructive funnel cloud Is charged.
We must do for the tornndo what wo
do for the ordinary thunder cloud,
whose lightning wo conduct away
haimlessly by metal rode. Just here
I wnnt to call your attention to a very
Interesting fact. I have devoted n
great deal of attention to the study of
'cyclones,' following tte history of all
that have been recorded for u great

I J ...
1 lent to the southwest of a town Is a
mest efllclent protection against
storms of this kind, because the trees
draw off tho electricity that gives to
the 'cyclone' Its energy. If this Is true,
It follows that eveiy town In the dan
ger belt ought to plant trees for a tor
nado barrier, If It has not already this
defense. Such a plan Is much sim
pler and less costly than the dyna
mite system which I have already sug
gested. Tho towns ought not to ie
main undefended while waiting for
trees to grow, and so I would propose
that n temporary makeshift might be
service-able, consisting of a barrier of
tall poles with a net work of wlies ex
tending betwen them.
"Some time ago 1 made a list of 2,221
tornadoes that were recorded In the
Culled States between 1 S7-'I and 1SS8.
They caused an average lots of one life
and $11,812 per 'cyclone.' New York
state had 120 of them. Including one of
the first order, costing a total or $1,.
270,000. There were 111 in Pennsyl
vania, which destroyed $l,0!is.0(l(i

pear that the east is not at all safe
nam calamities of this kind. The
electrical display at Wnlllngford is de
scribed as having been most terrific.
"Accepting this electrical thenrv. it
may naturally he asked how the torna
do gathers Its tremendous store of elec
trical energy. This Is a very dlfllcult
question. We know that there Is elec
tricity In the ntmosphere. Whence
comes this electricity? Perhaps It Is
generated by sunlight. Another the
ory Is that the heat energy of the sun
Is transformed under certain condi
tions into electrical energy. My notion
Is that the particles of moisture which
go to make up the clouds ore some of
tlu 111 charged with poltlve electricity,
and others with negative electricity,

nothing, cause them to rush together,

"A tornado In a thiinder.storm multi
plied In lolence. Respecting 'cy
clones.' we are sadly lacking In data.
When a phenomena of this sort oe
curs, everybody runs away; no one
thinks of wniclung It. 1 am not cer
tain that the runnel-shaped cloud Is
no a injthlta Idea.
"The approach or a tornado is never
without warning. It is accompanied
by a roar that has been likened to the
bellowing of a million mad bulls.
Tho width of the path of destruction Is
rarely over aOO feet. The bent thing
to do In case of the near approach of
such a storm. Is to tun to the north.
There Is no utfety, however, except
underground.
"No building of stone or any other
material Is proof against the violence
of a tornado. This fact was Illus
trated at Orlnntll. Iowa, in 1SS2, when
a storm of this kind took sixty lives
and destroyed $S0.000 worth of prop,

Victoria that they desired an audience
with her Royal Highness on business
of importance. After considerable
delay the attendnnt Informed them
that the princess was In such a sweet
sleep that she could not venture to dis
turb her. Then they paid: "We nro
come on business of state to the queen,
and even her sleep must give way to
that." The attendant left them, and a
few minutes later a falr-haircd girl of
18 came Into the room "in a loose
white nightgown and shawl, her
nightcap thrown oh and her hair fall
ing upon her shoulders, her fret in

fectly collected and dignified." That
was firty-nlne years ago. and the falr

At the council which followed at 12

much ease as If she had been doing

QUEEN VICTORIA
who was present, s.ty: "Sho looked

agreeable appearance, nnd, with her
outh, Inspire an excessive inteiest In
all who approach her. In
short, she appears to act with eveiy
sort or good taste and good reeling, ns
well as good sense."
Queen Victoria first saw tho light In
Kensington Palace 011 tho 2-Uh of May,

ward, duke of Kent, fourth son of
George III., and of the Princess Loulso

Many sayings of the queen as ft
young woman have been preserved,
showing the trend of her early ideas,
and her high seiiFe of honor. On one
occasion a minister told lur majesty
that she need not scruple to sign a
paper without examination as It was
not a mntter of "paramount Import
ance." "Hut It Is for me," sho replied,
"a matter of paramount Importance
whether or not I nttnch my signature
to a document with which I am not
thoionghly satisfied." No less deter
mined was her icply to the same min
ister when urging the expediency or
sotno measure "I have been taught,
my lord, to Judge between what Is right
and what Is wrong; but expediency is
a word I neither wish to hear nor to
understand."
On the 10th or February, 1RI0, Vic
toria married her cousin, Prince Al
bert or Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, with
whom she had long been deftly In
love. It proved as everyone knows a
most happy union. Prince Albert was
singularly handsome, graceful and
gifted, mill made an Ideal husband.
During their twenty-one vears of
wcuucu me tney were blessed with
nlno children-four sons oml iivi
daughters.
Of tho sons nil are living except Leo
pold, duke of Albany, who died in
1884. or tho (lnughtern, tho eldest
married Frederick William, tho late
emperor or Oermanv. The second,
known as Princess Alice, who became
tho wlfo of Prince Freilcrlek-Wllllani
of llese, tiled In 1878. The Princess
Helena married Prince Christian, of
Denmark. Princess Louise became
the wire or marquis or Lome, and tho
youngest. Princess Ilentrice, married
Prince Henry of Uattenberg, who died
recently while taking part In .1 mili
tary expedition on the west coast of
Arrica.
Notwithstanding tho popularity or
liucen Victoria her life has been at
tempted more than once. In June,
IS 10, Edward Oxford, u crazy lad of 17,
firnl two shots at her as she was driv
ing with Prince Albert up Constitution
Hill, n road leading through one of the
London parks. Roth shots were fired
deliberately, but fortunately missed
their aim. Oxford was arrested and
tried, but proved to be insane and was
bent to an asylum.
Two years later a man named John
Frauds, the son of a machinist, fired
n pistol at her r.s she wns driving down
Constitution Hill in the very tame
place where Oxford's attempt was
made. He was condemned to be hanged
for the offense, hut at the request of her
majesty the sentence was commuted to
transportation for life. Tho very day
after this tnltlgntlon or punishment be
came publicly known another ntteinpt
was made by a hunchbacked lad naii.ed
Rcan. He was seized In the uct ot pre
Fentlng a pistol at the Queen as she
was diivlng rrom Hucklnghnm Palace
to the Chapel Royal. Tho weapon was
loaded with powder, paper, closely
rammed down, and some scraps or clay
pile. Ho received eighteen months'
liiipilioiiment. In May, 18-19, nn Irish
oiirhia.ver named Hamilton fired a
pi.Mol leaded only with powder at her
majesty on Constitution Hill, and In
the following May, Robert Pale, once
a llcutt nnnt of Hussars, struck her lu
the face with a stick. Each of these
men received seven yeais' imprison
ment. Finally lu 1872 a lad of 17 named
Arthur O'Connor presented a pistol nt
her majesty as she was entering IJuek
Itigham Palace on her return from a
drive. It proved to be unloaded, how
ever. In his other hand O'Connor held
it petition on behalf of tho Fenian
prltoners. He was given twelve months'
Imprisonment and a whipping.
As Justin McCarthy fairly states In
his "History of Our Own times": "The
sovereign is always supposed to under
rtand tl:o business of tho state, to con
sider Its nfTairs, and to ofTer an opin
ion, and enforce it by argument, on any
question submitted by tho ministers.
When the ministers find that they can
not allow their Judgment to bend to
that of their sovereign, then indeed
the sovereign gives way or tho mln
lstcrs resign. In all ordinary cases tho
sovereign gives way." Quicn Victoria,
while carefully adhering to the consti
tution, ins never allowed herself to
become in any sense n mero figurehead.
Ono ol her Hist acts after the resigna
tion of Ixird Melbouinu ns prime min
ister, when she sent fur Hlr Robert
Peel, was to tell him "that she was
sony to have to part with her late min
isters, of whose 'conduct sho entirely
approved, but that sho was bound to
constitutional usage."
The memorandum which she caused
Lord John RusFell to convey to Loul
Palmetston In 18.10 shows that she
thoroughly understood her rights as
well as her obligations. Lord Palmer
ston had acquit ed a habit of "dealing
with foreign courts nccordlng to what
Ftcmed best to him at tho moment,
nnd his sovereign nnd his colleagues
often only knew of some Important dis
patch or Inr.t ruction when the thing
was done, and could not be convenient
ly or becomingly undone," a habit of
which the queen had several times
complained. Her majesty, In her
memorandum, Intimated In plain tcrnia.
that she wished to know beforeha'v
what lie proposed to do In n given cPl
that she might know as distinctly to
wiiat she had given her royal sanction.
She further Intimated that having onco
given her sanction to a measure, any
arbitrary alteration or modification of
It by the mlnlbtcr would bo considered
as a failure in sincerity towards the
crown, Justly to bo visited by tho exer
cise of her constitutional right of dis
tills, lug that mln.-.lcr.
Many anecdotes me told, showing
that though punctilious In matters of
ceremony and caioful to exact tho re
spect due to her exalted position, she
Is above all an honest, loving woman
of simple icllned tastes. Prior to her
marriage the Archbishop of Canter
bury asked her whether it would be
desirable to omit the word "obey" from
tho manlage tervice, and she tin
swercil; "1 wish to be married as a
woman, not as a qiifcn."
To show how particular the queen
has been in the proper education of
her children, a sailor once carried ono
of tho queen's daughters on board the
loyal neht. As he set her down on
the deck he said: "Theie you are, my
little lady," The child, who had not
liked being curried, shook herself and
said: "I am not a little lady; I'm n
princess." Her mother, who over
heard her daughter's rpcech, said
quietly: "You had better tell the kind
tailor who carried you that you are
not a little lady yet. though you hopo
to be one some day."
Another anecdote shows the firmness
of both mother nnd daughter. Hearing
their father address tho family phvsi
elan ns "Drown," the children began (o
do tho same. The queen corrected
them, nnd all called him Mr. or Dr.
Drown except tho Piiniess Royal. Her
majesty heard her. and said that If she
again did fo t.ho would be snt to bed.
Next morning the wilMl child said to
the jvhysiclan. "Good morning, Urown,"
then added, seeing her mother's eyes
llxed on her. "And good night, Urown,
for 1 am going to bed." And to bed bho
accordingly went.

A favorite disposition or the army by
