Portable Stove Created By Benjamin Franklin As late as the middle of the Eighteenth century the Pennsylvania Dutch were the only settlers who used stoves. At first these were imported from the old country, but as the iron industry became established in the Colonies, stcvemaking became one of its chief products. In this connection, two famous men are connected with the history of our first stoves —Benjamin Franklin and Henry William StiegeL As early as 1742, Franklin was experimenting with some form of heating device which would be an improvement over the stoves then in use. The “Pennsylvania Fireplace” was his first effort. This had eight plates and was almost entirely open in the front. It was designed to fit into an ordinary fireplace but was portable. In the back was a hot air box behind the fire oven which supplied the room with fresh air and provided for the circulation of the heat. It is said one of these stoves, probably made about 1750, is preserved at Doyleston, Pa. Franklin encouraged others to benefit by his idea and wrote and published a pamphlet entitled “An Account of the New-Invented Pennsylvania Fireplace.” He was offered a patent on his stove but refused to accept it, saying—“As we enjoy great advantages of others, we should be glad to serve others by any invention of ours.”

Advance Agent A tornado is a special kind of storm. It is a storm with whirling wind. Another name for it is "whirlwind,” and sometimes it is called a “twister.” When a tornado breaks, people can see a cloud, more or less in the shape of a funnel, hanging downward. The bottom of it may touch, or almost touch, the ground. The wind whirls at a speed of hundreds of miles an hour, but the twisting mass does not advance that fast. Often it' moves ahead only 20 or 30 miles an hour, giving people good warning to get out of the way. The advancing motion may be as much as 50 miles an hour. The tornado sweeps a rather narrow path. This path may be only 40 or 50 feet wide. Now and then, however, the path is more than 1,000 feet wide. Sometimes the tornado moves along for a distance of from 50 to 100 miles. In other cases it dies out after going ahead only two or three miles. BETHEL No. 11 OF JOB'S DAUGHTERS Bethel No. 11, Order of Job’s Daughters, will meet Saturday, May 16th, at 2 o’clock at Lynhurst Masonic Temple for initiation and election of officers.
