WORST STORM OF YEAR
Violent Squall Marked Close ol
Exceedingly Hot Oay.
_ sv
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE DONE:
Vessels in Harbor Dragged Their An?
chors and Accidents Were Nar?
rowly Averted?Cars Jumped Track
on Flooded Streets, ^*
? The electrical storm which yester?
day marked the closo of oue of the
hottest days experienced hero this
Summer, was probably the most vio?
lent which has swept, over this sec?
tion difrlng the present season. Rain
began falling in torrents at 5 o'clock
and continued with but one cecesslon
until 5) o'clock last night. The rain
was accompanied by r. brisk north?
west wind which increased to a
gale at 7:30 o'clock in the even?
ing. The wind did considerable dam?
age to shade trees, telephone and
telegraph wires. Possibly the worst
damage which resulted from the
blow was done the side show tent
of the Society Circus at the Ca.dno
park. The tent was blown over und
torn in several places, while consid?
erable damage was done to its con?
tents, '
Vessels Drag Anchor.
A number of schooners and barges
anchored In the harbor hero wore (
blown from their anchorages by the
violent wind, but fortunately all of
them were able to gel out extra an?
chors before any accidents befell
them. It Is said, that one or two
collisions between Schooners ami
barges was narrowly averted, but
Ihe report could not be verified.
Cars Jump Track.
Two cars on the Hampton Holds;
Traction line were derailed early last
r;ght us a resiuit of the .storm, hut
neither was damaged. The first ac?
cident occunol when car No. '.a;,
while ploughing through a deep pond
of water which had collected on
Twenty-slx'.b fat-cot between Hunting-;
ton avenue and Vlrglnln avcirto,
struck a. ;-oek which was lying on the
track. When tlVe accident occurred
the car wits ?.?..lining at a high vtxti ??
speed and alter jumping the track
it ploughed across? the south side of
the street, finally stopping at I ho
curb. It look a fo:vo i.f men over ah
hour to get the car back on the track
again and during thai time till traffic
on the line west of the Twenty-sixth
street viaduct was suspended.
Water running west on Thirty-sixth

has not forgotten the family traditions,
but has a long taproot, which extends
six, eight or ten feet through the sur?

stream of water which trickles under?

In the other long und narrow, on a i
smooth peduncle. Roth are common In !

As a worldwide plant the sundew Is !
one of those plants which at times are]

In .Tlilie, 1855, lie was making his ,
way from the west to the etist coast of!
Africa and bad reached the marshy
plateau of the central watershed, near'
Lake Dllolo. "While passing across'
I these Interminable looking plains an-1
1 other beautiful plant attracted my at

found It to be tin old home acquaint?
ance, n species of drosera closely re?
sembling our own sundew (Drosera nn
gtlctl). The flower stalk never attains
a height of more than two or three
Inches, and the leaves are covered with
reddish hairs, each of which has n drop
of clammy fluid at Its tin. making the
whole appear as If spangled over with
small diamonds. 1 noticed It llrsl In
the morning and Imagined the appear-1

drops of dew, but as it continued to
maintain its brilliancy during the heat
of the day I procscdod to Investigate
the cause of Us beauty and found that
the points of the hairs exuded pure
liquid In apparently capsules of clear
glutinous matter. They were thus like
dewdrops preserved from evaporation.
The clammy tluhl is intended to entrap
Insects, which, dying on the leaf, prob?
ably afford nutriment to the plant."
Livingstone, will) the Intuition of n
powerful mind, strikes on the peculiar
habit of the drosera which explains its
color. Its glandular excrescences, its
worldwide extension ami the special
interest which it has excited among
students such ns Mr. Darwin. It feeds
on insects. It lives not, ns other plants,
on the pure minerals latent In earth,
air and water, but on the same diluted
through a body which once had life.
It Is a plant with something of the
habit of mi animal. The conspicuous
ruddy color attracts the Insect, which
' Is caught In the sticky liquor und Im?
paled on the sharp hairs. The peculiar
nutriment gives the plant an easy sus?
tenance. II has no rivals; It has not
the same tierce struggle to maintain
Its ground that I ho tough rooted plants
of the hillside endure, before which
the tender succumb. Perched on the
moss, it draws In by Its roots a conso?

a food which is useless to other plants;
hence It has little need for variation,

Kntlnp; Slowlr.
The opinion that hurry In eating Is a
prolific cause of dyspepsia is founded
on common Observation. The ill results
of bolting food have boon attributed to
the lack of thorough mastication and to
the Incomplete action of the saliva upon
(lie food. Two-thirds of the food which
we ont is starch, and starch cannot bo
utilized in the system as food until It
has been converted Into sugar, and this
change is principally effected by the
saliva. Rut there Is a third reason why
rapidity of eating Interferes with di?
gestion. The presence of the snllvnry
secretion In the stomach acts as n
stimulus to the secretion of the gastric
juice. Irrespective of the mechanical
function of the teeth, food which goes
Into the stomach incompletely mingled
with saliva passes slowly and Imper
I foetly through the process of stomach

maxim of no mean value, teach the
children to cat slowly, and in giving

OLD GLORY.
Story <>f (fie StnrM ntlil Slrlpcn on the
Amprlrnn l"lnn.
Tho design for the American flag,
with thirteen stripes of alternate red
arid white and thirteen while stars In
a blue Held, representing the thirteen
states struggling for Independence,
was adopted by the Continental con?
gress on June II, 1777. u little less
than n year after the declaration of
bidependenco. The first flag of this
design was made as a specimen for
the congress by Betsy Buss, a dress?
maker, of Philadelphia, it is supposed
that this ting was first unfurled by
Paul Jones on the Billiger, U vessel of
the navy to which he had been as?
signed on the day that the resolution
adopting the design WHS passed. Tho
thirleen stars of the ting of 1777 were
arranged in u circle, though no form
was prescribed olliclnlly. This Hag re?
mained unchanged until 171)1, and then,
on motion of Senator Bradley of Ver?
mont, which, with Kentucky, bad been
admitted to the Unlbh, It was resolved
that from and nfler May 1. 1705, "the
Hag of the United States be II ft ceil
stripes, alternate red and white; Bint
the union he fifteen stars, white in n
blue Held." This was the ling used in
the war of 1812; The act made no
provision .for future alterations in the
ling, mid none was made until 1818.
Upon the suggesllon of Captain Sam?
uel C. Reid of tho navy n hill was
passed on April I, 1818. reducing the
number.of stripes lu (he ling to the
original thirteen and making the num?
ber of stars equal to the number of
states. The new star for a new slate
is not added to the Hag until the Fourth
of July following the admission of the
.new stnte.--St. Louis Republic.
