THE jumping bean, which is being exhibited in seed store windows, is the product of a Mexican plant allied to the milk weed family. The seed owes its jumping habit to the larva of a small moth which inhabits it. The uneasy movements of the larva cause the seed to roll about a flat surface, and even to jump a slight distance in the air.

FroM an interesting history of the development of the trotting horse, by Budd Doble, in the New York Herald, it appears that the trotter has lowered the mile record 55 seconds in 92 years.

SCORES PERISH.

A Long Death Roll Reported from Cyclone-Swept States.

A Total of Upwards of Seventy Victims in Minnesota and Towa—Many Others Injured — The Property Loss Enormous.

IT DEALT DEATH.

St. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 24.—The cyclone of Friday night that swept through Minnesota and lowa was one of the worst that ever visited this section. At least seventy persons were killed and many others were fatally injured. In addition several towns were wrecked, some of them being totally demolished. : Just how many lives have been lost is.still uncertain. but the reports received indicate that certainly not less than seventy are dead while some reports place the number from seventy to 100. The towns damaged or destroyed are Cylinder, Burt, Forest City and Manly Junction, in Jlowa; Leroy, Spring Valley, Dodge Center, Homer and Lowther, Minn., and Marshland, Wis. : :

Eliminating apparent duplications of names of dead the following from points in lowa is fairly accurate: Algona, 19; north of Garner, 13; north of Britt, 16; near Manly, 12. :

In Minnesota the storm seemed to start at Leroy, after traveling in the air for several miles.’ Three persons were killed at this place. At Chatfield, Minn., a dance was in progress at the opera house when the storm descended upon the town. The building was blown down and many persons were hurt. Sixty houses in all were demolished and 100 persons were injured. At Spring Valley three were killed. ALGONA, la., Sept? 24.—Sunday was a day of sorrow for Kossuth county. Nineteen funerals were held and others will come, for at least six more will die. The injured reportéd are thirty-nine in number.

The -storm as witnessed from this place was one of grandeur. A funnelshaped cloud of inky blackness swept along to the northeast, illuminated by almost continuous flashes of lightning. The thunder was deep and continuous. The opera house was packed to witness a popular play, and a panic was almost caused by the war of the elements. Robert Stevenson, living 4 miles north of Whittemore, was the first victim. He was hit in several places by flying missiles and a stick was driven into his head. He was unconscious until death Sunday morbing. His grove looked as if it had been mowed by a scythe. Calvin Barrick’s house on the Henry Durant place was made into kindling wood in an instant and all of the fourteen occupants except two children were injured. Mrs. Barrick was hit in the back by timber and her spine is so injured that her body and lower limbs are paralyzed. Charles Lee, 6 years old, was hit on the head and will die. The house of Fred Pompe was completely demolished but his wife and five chil-

dren came out of the wréck unhurt. The force of the wind was such that barbed wire was stripped from the posts. At George Holman's the roof of the house went, leaving the walls standing, and the whole family were carried about 30 rods, one-child being killed. M. W. Ferguson’s family were carried some distance through the air and all but one landed in a willow hedge. An infant wentalittle farther and was found seated on a piece of roof. The wife of Swan Peterson had her skull cut open in two places, and the exposed parts of her head were literally packed with sand, plaster, hair apd grass. T’he destruction of property will not be less than $lOO,OOO. © George W. Beavers, 8 miles north of Algona, had just got home from the fair. Ile got into ‘he house .with his wife and two children and an adopted boy and was just getting down cellar when the cyclone struck the house and demolished it completely. The entire family were covered with the ruins and blown about 4 rods.into the road. 'Beavers had the baby in 'his arms and with it he made his way north to the house of Christian Dau, his father-in-law, for help. His wife was just dying when he returned and his little girl gasped ‘‘Papa, papa,” and expired. o ‘

Osage also felt the storm’s terrific force. At Emmetsburg the amphitheater at the fair grounds was wreclked, also one residence dwelling. Several are reported injured here. Four miles north of Wesley great destruetion was caused. ' At Cylinder the whole family of Alexander Goldman, consisting of himself, wife. and two children, were killed. About ten are injured. Six dwellings were demolished and a large number of outbuildings. Reports say there were nine killed in the vicinity of Cylinder and- Emmetsburg. Three miles north of Wesley, J. Bingham's house was overturned and set on fire. The inmates had a narrow escape. It is variously estimated that from twentyfive to thirty were injured in all here. The storm struck near Crystal Lake at Britt. Two persons are known to ve killed there and there are seveial seriously injured. ‘ : St. PAvuL, Minn., Sept. 24.—Four Minnesota counties, Mower, Fillmore, Dodge and Winona, were swept by the cyclone which resulted in the deatn of six people, fatal injuries to seven others and ' the partial destruction of the towns of Homer, Leroy. Spring Valley and Dodge Center. The property loss will amount to $300,000.

PREY OF FLAMES.

Elevator and Docks at Portland, Ore., Burned—Loss, $1,500,000.

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 24.—The most disastrous fire in the history of this city broke out at 4:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon in the dock of the Pacific Coast Elevator company and raged for three hours, destroying property valued at nearly $1,500,000. The scene of the fire is across the river from the main part of the oity and it was at least fifteen minutes before more than one engine could respond to the general alarm. When the engines arrived the fire was beyond control, and in half an hour from the time it started the docks for half a mile were on fire. . Nothing could be done but to let the fire burn itself out. The fire started in the dock below the Pacific Coast Elevator company’s main building and the wind drove the flames to the elevator itself. The flames shot into the, air 200 feet, making a Dbeautiful sight in_ the twilight. The coal bunkers of the North Pacific Terminal company, on the west, were next attacked and soon . were a - seething mass of flames.. On the east was the Oregon Railway & Navigation company’s wharf, 400 feet in length, and this, too, was soon on fire. There was no means of getting water on the fire except from the river, and the fireboat is an improvised old scow and of very little service.

The elevator contained nearly half a million busheis of wheat. The new plant of the Portland General Electric company, which had just arrived from Lynn, Mass, was standing in the yards of. the terminal company on the cars, not having been unloaded. . The plant occupied an entire train, and the machinery was of the most-expensive kind, the most of which was destroyed and the remainder badly damaged. Two hundred freight cars, eighty of which were loaded, were destroyed. The Oregon Railway & Navigation dock held 1,500 tons of freight, consisting of wool, salmon, general merchandise and cement, all of which yas destroyed with the dock. There were stored on the dock about 12,000 cases of salmon from the lower Columbia river and Puget sound awaiting shipment for the east. It was valued at about $40,000 and was partly insured. Three men are supposed to have perished in the elevator. Charles Anderson, a man named Brown and one named Murray were seen at an upperstory window of the elevator and it is thought they were all burned. Every available locomotive at the terminal works was set to work moving freight cars out of danger, but -the fire burned so rapidly that all could not be moved away. Sparks from the fire went across the river and set fire to the boneyard, but it was extinguished before any serious damage to the yard was done. The large steamboat - Williamette Chief, moored at the yard, took fire and burned. She was used as a towboat and was valued at about $45,000. : The losses, as near as can be ascertained at this time, are as follows: North Pacific Elevator company, $500,000; ‘Portland General Electric company, machinery, $50,000; coal bunkers of the North Pacific Terminal company, $40,000; Oregon Railway & Navigation company, on dock, freight cars and steamer Willliamette Chief, $250,000; merchandise -on docks, $200.000. The insurance carried will reach $500,000. The Liverpool & London and Globe Insurance company has a large share of the policies.

Lyman’s tables give the population of the Roman empire at the time of Christ as 120,000,000, of which 60,000,000 were slaves, 40,000,000 were tributaries and freedmen, and only 20,000,000 were full citizens, or one sixth of the population. The army numbered 400,000, and the navy 50,000 men: Milman gives the population of the city of Rome, by the census of A. D. 48, at 5,984.000. It was a general time of peace; the Roman empire held sway over most of the known world, thus opening the way by her conquests for the greater conquests of the Gospel. The Roman roads were a highway, and the Roman army a guard for those who carried the Gospel. The Jews were scattered everywhere, taking with them the Bible with its prophecies and religious ritual, which Christ came to fulfill, thus preparing the way for the Gospel. S MATHEMATICAL REVIEW. . ' Multiply the number of the Gospels ( )by the age of Jesus when he conversed with the learned men in the temple ( ); divide by number of his temptations in the wilderness ( ); multiply by the age of Jesus when he began his ministry ( ); divide by the number of miles between Jerusalem and Bethlehem ( ); add the hour st which John’s disciples first went to see Jesus ( ); add the hour at which Jesus sat by Jacob’s well and conversed with the Samaritan women ( ); multiply by the number of John's disciples who first went to talk "“with Jesus ( ); add the number of the apostles ( ), and the result will be the number of cities and towns in Galilee with more than fifteen thousand inhabitants at the time of Christ, according to Josephus. :

FIRESIDE TRAVELS., . - . In “Tom Brown at Oxford,” the best scholar is represented as studying -his Greek history by means of a map and pins with large heads made of differ-ently-colored sealing-wax. The redheaded pin represented one army, the black another. - And as the text deseribed the movements of the armies, the pins were moved to the placés designated on the map. During the late war several of us ministers did the same thing with tlm various armies.. When news came of any change we marked it with the pins. This plan gives great vividness to the history and assists the memory. Suppose now that we have a large map on the wall Prepare a pin with a large seal-ing-wax head to represent. Jesus. Smaller pins can represent the disciples and John. Take the initial letters of the principal places, printed on cardboard, so as tec be seen across the room, and with a pin fasten them in their proper places on the map as fast as the journey is made. Some scholar can tell where the next movement is to be made, and all the events or incidents clustering around each place can be noted or described. Pins with fliers of one color may represent miracles; another color denotes parables. Thus, in a brief time, we may travel over Palestine with Jesus and become familiar with His life. ~ HELPS FOR OUR OWN LIVES. :

'~ THE HIGHEST AWARD. Royal Baking Powder in Strength and ' Value 20 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest . Compétilon, = . i o . The Royal Baking Powder has the en~ viable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class—greatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined-—wherever ex~ hibited in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the various State and Industrial fairs,where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors. : - At the recent World’s. Fair the examinations for -the baking powder awards were made by the experts of the chemical division of the Agricultural Department of Washington. The official report of the tests of the baking powders which were made by this department for the specific purpose of ascertaining which was the best, and which has been made public, shows the leavening strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartd: baking powders exhibited at the Fair, the next highestin strength thus tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of 111. The Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent. greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent. abové the averageof all the other tests. Its superiority in other. respects, however, in the quality of food it makes as to fineness, delicacy and wholesomeness, could not be measured by figures. It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceed the sales of all other baking powders com- - bined. - In Our Daily Path. .
