Fifteen Minutes with a Cyclone—A ‘ ' True Story. :

“Speaking of cyclones,” remarked Mr. Wilson to the'company about the libraryfire, one cold November evening, “I think 1 can equal any story you have told with my own experience in a genuine ‘“twister.’” o

As we had already heard some surprising stories, a ceneral exclamation from young and old demanded the story, and, after a little urging, Mr. Wilson began: . o

“We were living then, my wife and the eight children (of whom the youngest was but four months old), in Malcom, a pretty little village about five miles from the city of Grinnell, Ta. “The farm was as attractive as it could well be—acre after acre of rolling prairie land, a fine garden, and a young and thriving orchard. My cousin had lived on the plaee for several years, but when his business made it necessary for him to go farther West, he had persuaded me to come out and take the farm. I had hoped to go West for several years, and I thought this an excelens opportunity, so we moved out, 'and had been living there about four. yeairs when this big blow came. . I “‘lt was in 1882. on the 2ith of June; you will see why [ have no trouble in remembering the date. - ‘lt had been an exceedingly hot day, not a eloud to be seen, with the sun beating fiercely down, and not a breath of air stirring. We sat out on the porch after supper, trying to find a cool place. The clouds were beginning to gather, and it looked as if fhere might be a shower. The three little ones went early to bed, and in spite of the oppressive heat were soou fast asleep. . It couldn’t have been far from eight o’clock when I heard a sound which I at first thought was thunder. The others noticed it, too, and, as it grew louder, a terrible rushing sound came with it, and we looked at one another in .silence for a minute, and then ran to where we could look out westward.

“My heart stopped beating, when I saw coming toward us with tetrific speed a black, funnel-shaped cloud, the rush and roar accompanying it growing louder every minute. d .

“‘Run for the cellar? I cried. My wife ran and seized the baby, and 1 caught up hlg%two other children from the bed. Thére was no time. to lose.

‘““The one who first reached the cellardoor—it was one of the older children—had just time to seize the knob, nothing more, when—ecrash! *such a terrific noise! I felt myself lifted in the air, and thought my.time had come. The next thing I knew, I felt the splash of cold water in my face. I must have lost consciousness, but the water revived me, and in a moment I knew where I was. ® =

“I had come down head first into the well! ;

“The water was some ten feet deep. I was thoroughly at home in the water, though I wasn’t used to diving in that fashion, and 1 managed to right myself and come.up head first. -, j ‘“The well was not more than three feet across, and the pump had been broken short off and carried away, leaving a two-inch ‘iron pipe standing straight up in the middie.

1 wass very nearly out of breath when I came] to the top of the water. My hands touched something floating on the surface. I thought it was the cat; imagine my surprise when 1 found it was Charlie, our five-year-old boy! “He was terribly frightened, and as amazed as I was, to find himself alone in the well. The wonder was that we were not both of us impaled on that iron pipe; how;we escaped ‘it I ean not understand. '

. “The cyclone had passed. on, and a terrific, steady wind was blowing. I could hear it roar above our heads; and by the flashes of lightning I could see that rain fell in torrents. We were both so wet we didn’t mind the little extra water that plashed down on us, and as soon as possible I raised Charlie to my shoulders, and by aid of the pipe managed to work my way to the top of the well. This took some little time, and the wind and rain had nearly ceased when I set my feet on solid earth again, and found we were unhurt. o

‘“‘But such a scene as I looked upon I hope never to see again! And I dreaded to look about me for fear of worse things. Evidently the house had been lifted bodily from its foundations and dashed down, and every thing that had not been carried away by the wind lay about the yard; many of the great timbers were found rods away driven into the earth, as if they had been but tentpegs. : L ; b

- “Soon I heard my wife’s voice calling, and I was a happy man when I found her and two of our little ones, terribly wet and frightened, but unhurf. “But where was the baby?" » ~ “I called the names of the other children, as we ran frantically here and there to find some trace of them. Nellie, the eldest, came running from the orchard with the baby in her arms. She said she had picked him up from the wet ground where he was lying, and he had not even cried. ‘She had found herself there, but that was all she knew about it; indeed, none of us could give an account of our wanderings after we left the eellar door. e “Soon we heard the boys’ voices, and o W 2w g i ey

found that they were in the cellar; the cyclone in lifting the body of the house had taken up a part of the foundation (which was of large stones. laid in cement), and then dropped it. The floor came down a little askew, and a stove, organ, and a heavy desk had slidden off into the cellar.

- “In ' some way or other the boys reached the cellar, too, probably before the floor fell, for the flooring made a protection over their heads. They came out safe and sound, though it was difficult to set them free. '

I “Itv seems that my wife had found herself on the ground, and by the flashes of lightning had seen Charlie standing not far from her. As the wind was blowing a gale, she called to him to lie down flaton the ground; but the next ‘ time ths lightning came she could not .see him, and supposed the wind must Yhave swept him off his feet into the well. Providentially, I was there to ) rescue him. . ' “Well, we found ourselves all safe ‘and unhurt—excépt a few slight bruises ' not worth mentioning, aftee what we F had been through—and you can understand that we were not only a very happy family, but that we were a very thankful family, too. : ~ “Our home was scattered along on the i prairie for a mile or. more; there wasn't ~enough left of it to make a large hen‘house. The barn was gone, also: but, - to our surprise, there, stood the thirty head of cattle tied to the stanchions (only one of them so injured tvhat it had to be killed); and my two horses were - unharmed. ’ 3

“The big wagon was in the yard, and had in some way escaped destruction, so we hitched up the horses and started to find shelter.

"**Our clothing was rather the worse for wear, but we did not stop to think about trifles. We could see the terrible work of the cyclone as we rode along; trees twisted off or torn up by the roots, and buildings demolished. The rain had come down in such torrents that next day the trees and fences looked as if there had been a high tide, the leaves and straw which clung to them a footor more above the ground showing at what height the water had stood. ' **You remember how much damage the cyclone did in' Grinnell, and if you could have seen the sight we looked upon as we rode into the city, you would realize as never before what an appalling thing a cyclone is. . . “We were well taken care of, and after awhile I even ventured to build again; but my garden was gone, my orchard was ruined, and there was constant dread whenever there was a cloud in the sky, and at length my wife and I concluded we couldn’t ‘bear to stay any longer. We came East again, and here we mean to remain. :

“Such having been our experience, no one can blame us for not wishing to repeat it. Certainly we could not hope to be as fortunate another time.”’—M. Louise Ford, in St. Nickolas. ;

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Changes Wrought in the Course of Half-a . Century.

Fifty years ago the population of the United States was only 17,697,420. The census cost the Governmrent $833,427. There were slaves in all the States except .Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and Michigan. Jowa had 16 slaves, Wisconsin 11, Ohio 8, Indiana 9, Illlinois 331. The total in all the States and Territories was 2,486,228. Fifty years ago the first railroad-spike machine was put into use, making fifty a minute, forming both point and head. Henry Burden, of Troy, N. Y., was the inventor. If ranked among the bestpaying inventions of modern times. ‘F‘ifty years ago the Whig party held its first convention at Harrisburg, nominating General William Harrison, of Obhio, as President of the United States. Fifty years ago Joseph A. Adams for the first time made use of the idea now ‘embodied in the art of electrotyping by reproducing from wood cuts. Fifty years ago the first powerloom for weaving carpets was set in motion by E. B. Bigelow, of Boston. Ten yards a day was its original capacity. Fifty years ago (1839) the first wheat was shipped from Chicago, amounting to seventy-eight bushels. It was sent eastward by the lakes to Buffalo. Fiftyone years ago the first steam fire-engine ever made was tested in New York. It was invented by Captain John Ericsson. Fifty years ago the Sirius and Great Western, the first ocean steamships, entered New York harbor on their return trips. Fifty years ago 1,000 reformed drunkards marched in procession at the first anniversary of the Washington Society. Fifty years ago a law was enacted against dueling in the District of Columbia. 1t grew out of the CilleyGraves duel. Fifty years ago the Cherokee Indians were removed from Georgia and placed” west of the Mississippi river.

Fifty years ago a survey was made by John Baily for a canal across Central Americd. Fifty years ago John Ericsson was allowed letters patent on a steam propeler boat. Fifty years ago beet sugar was first made by David L. Child, of Northampton, Mass. Fifty yearsago the banks of the United States resumed specie payment. Fifty years ago the Massachusetts Abolition party was organized. Fifty years ago wooden clocks had only been, in use one year. Fifty yearsago the daguerreotype was invented in France.—Statistician. Flowers and'the Children. . There are but few children who are not attracted by the beauty and sweetness of flowers. We have often watched with great interest the seemingly natural tendency of young children to admire flowers. Frequently we have seen them gazing with rapture upon the picture of a flower, andsmelling it with apparent disappointment that it yielded no perfume. The child appears to instinctively know that a flower is delicate, innocent and pretty; and it may be laid down as a general rule that a boy that is brought up among flowers will develop into a better man than one who is a stranger to flowers. If we could have our way, we would adorn with flowers the homes from which come our criminal classes. They would not banish erime from the commiinity, but they would greatly lessen it. Flowers make people gentler, softer<and better, and the father and mother who do not neglect to provide this holy influence for their children are doing them a service that perhaps the eternities alone will tell the value of.—Western Rural.

THE. BROOMERANG.

How This Curious and Unique Australian Weapon Is Made.

This curious and unique weapon, about which so much has been written and so little really kncwn. is a curved piece of wood, slightly eonvex on one side and nearly flat on tha other. It is cut from a natural bend ~r root of a tree, the hardest and heavlest wood being always selected, and its eurve follows the grain of the wood. Thns it will' vary from a slight curve to near’y a right angle; no two ever being ithe same shape. It is about three-eightbsc¢f an inch thick and from two to three inches wide, tapering toward the ends, whirh are either round or pointed. The edgs is sharpened all around, and the leangth varies from fifteen inches to three and a half feet.

. This is the shape of the boomerang, but the secret of its peculiar flight is to be found not so much in its general form as in its surface. This, on examination, is found to be stightly waving and broken up by vartous angles. These angles balance and gounterbalance each other; some, by causing differences in the pressure of alr on certain parts, give steadiness of flight and firmness, others give bueyancy, and each has -generally’ to be, determined practically -by experimental throwing. Some boomerangs sappear :to be mere dented or crooked #ticks; but they are really implements which some blackman has whittled :nd scraped till these ‘dents or angles have been properly adjusted according to the boomerang principle. I believe it 18 possible to make a boomerang by exact mathematical calculation; but yet I hasve never seen two exactly alike. I have made two, apparently alike in eveéry particular, yet while one rose buoyantly the other fell dead, because of som» untrue adjustment of the angles of iis faces. When all angles are properiy arranged the boomerang goes througl the air somewhat as a screw-propeller goes through the water—whirling rapidiy in its flight like a revolving wheel. - ‘

Gravitation and the foree with which it is directed cause its pecul.ar swallowlike swoops, which are prolonged by the action of the floating angles in counteracting gravitation, consequently, with spent force it is stil) kept on tae wing, and often reaches :une ground considere ably behind the thrower.—Scribner's Magazine:, . ;
