6 Cyclones at H a Qd- In a small Kansas paper the other day the column headed "Local Notes" led off with this laconic announcement: "The cyclone season Is near at hand. Several are expected the present month." April and May are the months for the cyclone In the central valleys of the country. The records of recent years show that at about the first of May the cyclone season is at its height, although the frightful storm which worked such havoc in and around St. Louis last year did not occur until a month later. Already there have been two small storms of the cyclone order, but the damage worked by these was comparatively light. Scientists have struggled with the cyclone problem for many years, but much of the mystery surrounding its origin Is unexplained; also the rea sons of the prodigious power it exerts upon objects in its path. They agree, however, on one thing, and that is th 5 name. Cyclone, they say, is a mis nomer, the correct designation being tornado, but the people who have ac tually wrestled with the monster and have seen it tossing their residences about in midair call it a cyclone, and cyclone it will be. Scientifically the cy clone is the storm that sweeps over the South Atlantic ocean, with a di ameter of from 100 to 1,000 miles. The tornado travels in much smaller form, but in its reduced dimensions it has all the concentrated energy of the ocean storm. The diameter of the tor nado is seldom more than 100 yards and frequently much less than that. It has been known to travel straight along a country road for more than a mile, wrecking everything in its path, but not injuring the fences on either Bide. The diameter of this tornado could not have been more than 80 or 90 feet, but its power was almost be yond belief. But the curious freaks worked by the cyclone of the Kansas variety com mand more attention than its tremen dous force. The latter was proven last year In the St. Louis disaster, when great stone buildings were demolished, locomotives tossed about and heavy steelwork twisted Into weird shapes. But about the vagaries of the cyclone. On one occasion the roof of an eight room house was lifted bodily, carried 200 yards, half way into a grove, where it seemed impossible that it could have passed between the trees and left lying flat, but upside down, in a vacant Bpot just large enough to receive it. Occasionally the side of a house is car ried away and converted into kindling wood, while the rest of the edifice is quite uninjured. In one instance, in lowa, half a double house was shattered to bits, while the other half and the hall were quite untouched, even the carpet on the hall floor remaining un coiled, and the paper on the wall showed neither spot nor scratch. In another, the porch of a Kansas house •was cut away as neatly as though with an ax, a queer contrast being seen in a third case, where the house was destroyed and the porch left standing intact. In Nebraska the second story of an eight room house was taken off and" the first was left, so little shock being given to the build ing by the violent removal of the upper half that the clocks on the mantelpieces were not disturbed, and continued to tick as usual. A Ktiil more curious freak was played by the wind In a Kansas dwelling. A "double house, with a hall in the middle, stood facing the direction from which the cyclone was ap proaching. When the storm was seen the jesid nts took refuge in their c ave and listened to hear the fall of their home. A terrible crasfo was heard, and they, of course, sup posed that the house had gone. On emerg ing they were surprised to see the house standing as before, but were almost paralyzed With astonishment to find the northeast wall of the dining room, which was on the op posite side of the house from the direction the •torm came, had been blown out, the furni ture, tabes. dishes and all other contents had been carried off and crushed in atoms and no other damage had resuhed to any part of the building. The cyclone which devastated Sherman Texa,*, In May of last year stripped nearly all of the dead of clothing, and from the feet of every corpse ttoe 9hoes had been wrenched This is a common tr>k of cyclone*, but scien tists cannot fathom It. In many instance* the shoos disappear, being either torn to frag ments so as not to be r<*oogni«able as foot wear or carried off to considerable distances and dropped In places where, if found at all. they excited little comment. In several in stances, however, the shoe* have been found close to the bodies of thr> dead and in a condition that indicated very powerful elec trical action. Sometimes these remarkable effecU are pro the ruins caused by a Kansas cyclone, and Its condition caused no little wonder. It had The Season at Its Height About May Ist. been stripped from the foot of a man who was killed. The strings were gone and the upper portions, from ankie to sole, were cut into tolerably regular strips from a quarter to haJf an Inch in width. The sole seemed at first glance intact, but a closer examin ation showed that this portion was pierced by a number of small round holes. They were the ho:es where the metal nails or tacks had bean; the latier had disappeared, melted by the electricity. Metal objects on the bodies of persons killed are frequently thus treated. The cor set steels of women become drops of iron, the knives of men and bunches of keys carried in the pockets are fused into a solid mass. Watches and watch chains are often similarly treated; in two or three cases In Southern Kansas the watch of a victim was not suf ficiently melted to lose all its original form and could still be recognized. Sometimes these remarkable effects are pro duced without visible injury to the body cr to the clothing that remains on it. a cir cumstance quite unexplainable with our pres ent knowledge. When the clothing is re moved It is generally not found, being prob ably rent into indistinguishable rags, but when it or portions of it are left the wind treats it in the most whimsical manner. In lowa, in 1885. all the clothing but the coat was torn from the body of a man, this gar ment remaining aimost intact; in Kansas a body was stripped of all save a collar and cravat. In lta treatment of domestic animals the cyclone often betrays a humorous side. In Kansas the feathers of every chicken on a farm were stripped as clean as If an expert picker had done the Jo*. The unhappy fowls were otherwise uninjured, although consider ably bewildered as to what had happened to them. Chickens are not the on-ly sufferers, how ever, for rabbits and cats caught in the ■whirling wind are denuded of their fur as completely as the fowls of their feathers. They are not skinned, but stripped, the agency being probably the same and the ac tion identical with that which rends the clothing from tfhe bodies of men. Wherever a cyclone passes over a spot the water in the wells and cisterns is sucked out and disappears. The same phenomenon occurs In the case of springs, which are drained in such an extent that they sometimes fall to run for many minutes after the storm has THE WESTERN CYCLONE AT WORK. passed. The water of ponds is carried away, and the beds of creeks and small streams be come visible. One of the most disagreeable features of the cyclone is the amount of mud, sand and small stones it carries, and with sm-h force are these borne along that they are driven into the flesh, where they farm festering sores, very stubborn and difficult to treat or cure. In many instances fragments of planks or boards have been driven, point first, into or through the trunks of large trees, and re main there as secure as though mortised into the wood, such is the terrible strength of the wind. A LIGHTNING CALCULATOR. System Which He Thinks Should be Tuiiftht In the Schools. Columbus (O.) Dispatch. Educational circles are just now In a pitch of excitement over the Introduc tion in the public schools of Chicago of a system of Instruction in what may be termed lightning arithmetic. Many of those interested maintain that the proposition is impracticable, on the theory that only such persons as have natural arithmetical genius can be able to use to advantage any sort of rapid calculation. The incident and the at tending interest led a representative to make some Inquiry into whether or not there is any movement to intro duce the new system in the schools of this city. Although it is the subject of not a little discussion among the teachers of the city, no steps have as yet been taken. One of the most interested in this city is Mr. O. D. Hlnkle, who is con nected with the M. C. Lilley company. Mr. Hinkle has been in the mercantile business for a number of years, much of which time has been "spent in this city, and has been regarded as one of the most rapid calculators lr. the state. His work has not been on the fancy order, but straightforward use of rapid methods in practical business. Hav ing seen Mr. Hinkle add, subtract, di vide and multiply long lists of figures in billing out goods of all sorts, as fast as his assistant could call them off to him, and in 800 pages of ledger ac counts having made not one single mistake, the "Dispatch" was interest ed to know whether the system men tioned in Chicago was related in any way to that which he used. Mr. Hinkle was found most enthusi astically Interested In the method, and quickly remarked, upon being asked, that the supposed new system was identically the same as he had been using for twenty-five years. Indeed, Mr. Hlnk'.e has been for a number of years thinking seriously of making an effort to have some of the schools take It up ac a part of their course of in- fHE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1897. structlon. Speaking of the new method, Mr. Hinkle said: "Is the system sound? Is it prac tical? Yes, most emphatically to both questions. It is natural computation, and it is just as easy to teach a child or grown person the relationship of numbers as it is to teach them the re lationship between persons. Use 100 for the head of the genealogical tree of the family of figures, and it is just as easy and natural to teach a child that 25 per cent of any amount is one-fourth of it, because 25 is one-fourth of 100, as it is to ,teach him that that old gentleman Is his grandfather because he is his mother's father. Or, that 12% per cent is one-eighth of any amount, because it is one-eighth of 100, as it is to teach him that the curly head over there is his cousin, because he is his father's brother's child. "I'll **ive you some examples in short mental arithmetic for a change. Say you buy 80 yards of carpet at 62% c; 62% cis five-eighths of 100; five-eighths of 80 is $60. Easy number, yes. Take an odd one. Say 83 yards at 62% c; five-eights of 80 is $60; add three times 62% c, Is $1.87%; total, $61.87%. Say you buy 167 yards of dress goods at 33 l-3c; 33 l-3c is one-third of 100; one-third of 167 is $55.66 2-3. Say you sell SSO pounds of wool at 16% c; 16 1 /* is one sixth of 100; one-sixth of 350 is $58.33 1-3. Say you buy 100 bushels of potatoes at 50c; $50. Easy, isn't it? But if it were £9 bushels at 49c you couldn't do it so easily, and yet it is no harder, if you only knew it. Say 99 times 50 is $49.50; less once 99, which is $48.51, and it is nr more difficult than 100 times 50. Almost every child can do multipli cation up to 12, but how many older people can go higher than 12 — easily? Yet it is easy to go to 500 if he is a qUck adder. I think my rule for squar ing large numbers is simpler than Mr. Speers' way of doing it. For example start at 12; 12 times 12 is 144. To get the square of 13 add 13 and 12 to square of 12; 13 and 12 make 25; 25 to 144 is IR9. Square of 14; 14 and 13 equals 27 add to 169, makes 196. To square 15; 15 and 14 equals 29, added to 196 is 225. The square of 50 1b 2500. To get square of 51; 51 and 50 are 101, added to 2COO equals 2601. To square 49; 49 and 50 are 99; subtract from 2500 is 2401. The square of 100 is 10.000. To get square of 99; 99 and 100 are 199; subtract from 10,000 equals 9801. To square 101; 101 pi d 100 are 201, add to 10,000, equals 10,201. This may look hard to some, but when one has been drilled in multiplying larger nTlm bers mentally it is as easy as falling off a house. Some will complain that I have no right to say in 80 yards of carpet at 62^ cents that five-eights of 80 is $60; that I don't point off according to rules. Well, that's just what I don't want to do — that is where time is lost. With the drilling which a pupil would get prior to doing this work one of the important things taught him would be to know that 80 yards at 62^ cents of five-eighths of 80, as in this case, would be $60 and not $6, or $600 or $6,000, which often occurs with pupils who use the old rules for pointing off. One is mechanical and liable to disastrous blunders, the other has become intuitive from good drilling, and Is a sure thing always. There are legions of doubting Thomases, the most of whom will not look into this closely enough to under stand it, that will advance all kinds of argu ments against it. One of the first argu ments will be that it would be easy enough if people would buy and sell everything in quantities and at prices that were fractional parts of 100. "I have given a few examples to show that it can be used in almost any ordinary combination of figures that one is likely to meet with in business, but I do not say there are not combinations that It would not reach. I also do not say that I advo cate computation by using fractional parts of 100 alone, but short methods against long ones, no matter what the way is like or what the combination may be." No Leader Necessary, Life. We may be led into temptation the flr«t time, but after that we can generally find our own way.

With the exception of a few moments at the start, all day, and the net gain for the May option was 4%c. Corn partook but slightly in the bullishness of wheat, and It is not unlikely, Judging by the readiness with which it responded to the opening weakness in that article, that the market would have declined had not wheat been so strong, and improvement in the weather West forecasted larger receipts and offerings were fairly lib eral for that reason. Exports amounted to 2,034,000 bu for two days. May opened %c lower at 23% c, sold at 23% c and closed at 24% c. Just a fair business was transacted in oats. The market was firm. At the opening the tendency was toward weakness, but that disposition was so:>n nipped, as wheat did its high kicking act and prices held firm for the rest of the session. May opened a shade low er at 16% c, sold at 16%@16%c, and advanced to 17c, where it closed. Provisions were only moderately active, and advanced principally on account of the extreme bullishness in wheat. Packers had lard for sale every time it advanced over Thursday's price, the result being that it failed" to keep the pace with pork and ribs. A-t the close May pork was $8.47%<55.50, May lard $4.32% and May ribs $4.75@4.77%. Estimates: Wheat, 7 cars; corn, 145 cars; oats, 220 cars; hogs, 24,000 head.

April 17.— There was a short session in the wheat market today, but it was a lively session and did some good executive work in the way of measuring out punishment to the bears. During the first hour May wheat scored an advance from 69% @69% cto 71c, after which there was an slight reaction through some realizing. About 11:15 the market took another run upwards and by 11:40 May sold at 72% c, after which the mar ket ruled steady and strong up to the close. It was thought that the market would likely be a dull one because of the Liverpool market being c'.osed for the day. But Liverpool man aged to be heard from through her curb deal ing, and active bidding by cable for wheat in New York. These bids advanced equal to Is per quarter before 10 a. m.. and 32 loads taken for export with more to follow before the day closed. Baltimore also advised of buying on a large scale by brokers for Liver pool account, which is a very rare occurrence. Chicago advised of fully 1.000,000 of long wheat dumped quite early, but that it was so quickly absorbed that selling ceased, ex cept by scalpers in a small way, securing I their profits on the advance. Snorts cov ered freely.

NEW YORK, April 17.-The downward tend ency of prices today, was only Interrupted for very brief periods, and no raises of any Im portance occurred. The market was unin teresting and very dull, being a short trading day and coming after a holiday. The fact that the foreign exchanges were clo«ed and would remain so until Tuesday, ako had its effect in curtailing operations. The market was narrow and the small dealings wholly pro fessional and, in specialties, manipulative. The International stocks continued to main fest heaviness, dealers here relying on their own private advices as to the war prospects abroad, and some sales of these stocks be'ng made also for London account. The rise in the price of wheat was interpreted on the stock exchange as presaging a belligerent outcome to the dispute in Europe and this was used as a bear argument, the price of ranroad stocks moving contrary to the price of wheat, ac has been the case in connection with war news from Europe recently on several occasions. St. Paul suffered from the showing of a loss of $$0,343 in its estimated gross earnings for the second week in April, and Northwest and Omaha manifested a weakness common to the other Vanderbilt stocks. There was a falling off in activity in Sugar and very narrow fluctuations in its price. Chicago Gas continues to be the center of activity in the market, but its fluctuations were without significance, other than professional, the price receding in the face of buying by interests that have uni formly been credited with acting for in siders. Northern Pacific enjoyed a period of gain at the opening, but afterwards suc cumbed a poinit, scoring a net loss on the day. Losses on the day reached a point in the cases of Tobacco and Chicago Gas % in New York Central; % in Northwest and % in Hock Island, Omaha and St. Paul. The total sales of stock today were 74 000 shares including Tobacco, 4 700; Sugar C 200- BurHngton, 8,600; Chicago Uas, 15,600;' St.' Paul, 7,000.
