Here is a tree guilty' of this same thing, and Jesus takes the opportunity afforded him to pronounce judgment in symbolic form 'upon this prime fault of a class with whom Jesus and his dis- ciples would constantly come in contact. 15.

If in direct reply to Peter's remark Jesus explained that faith in Cod was the source of his mirac- ulous power over the fig tree, Sen, realizing their need far more fully than did they themselves, he may ave been led to show them how they might attain the same power 'namely, through faith. © 93.

Was An Impressive, But Terrible Sight, Declares An Eye-Witness, It was my 'good' or ill-fortune, says a writer in the Century Maga- zine, to be an eyewitness of one of the devastating tornadoes that of- ten sweep American soil. About 6.30 on the afternoon of April 27, 1899, I left my house at Kirkville, Mo., to post some letters. The day had been rather remarkable, alter- nating between suffocating heat and chilliness of early: spring. Dense dark clouds -qccasionally rolled across the saffron sky. and showers of rain alternated with bursts of sunshine, while the winds had been capricious, at times blowing in gusts and gales, to be followed by a dead calm. It needed no baro- meter to indicate an impending at- mospheric disturbance, for every- one could feel it. At the time I started from my house a gentle shower was falling, and I took my umbrella with me. As I stepped from the west door of the veranda a continuous roaring off to the southward burst on my ears, and, my house being on high ground I had an excellent view in that di- rection. In the southwest, at the extreme limit of my vision, hung a lowering dark cloud, from which occasional peals of thunder issued. Just be- low the cloud, seeming to rest upon the earth, was A Whirling Monster of Vapor. dust and smoke, coming apparently toward me with an incessant and steadily increasing roar. The first appearance was that of a huge lo- comotiye emitting black smoke and steam, and coming at a tremendous speed. The tornado seemed sudden- ly to tear itself loose from the black storm cloud and to advance at an increased speed rotating from right to left. I quickly entered the house, call- ing to my wife and children to fly for their lives. My youngest daugh- ter, aged sixteen, had gone to the second story to secure some win- dows, and evidently alarmed at my call, was for a moment dumfounded with fear. Bounding up the stair- way I met her coming down, and my wife took her and our eldest daughter into the yard west of the house, where they sought safety be- hind some cedars. Having placed them in what I thought the most 'secure place avail- able, I once more turned my atten- tion to the storm, which I found The great funnel- shaped cloud; expanding and: ex- tending up into the vault of heaven, .| seemed to extend over the entire | eastern horizon. It was a dark, steamy" cloud, from which were emitted evanescent flashes of elec- tric light. : My next care was for my mother and 'two sisters, one of whom was blind. Their cottage is on the same Stfegty just op pposite my own house. As I started across the street 1'shotited to a neighbor, who, with his wife and ¢hild; stook motionless on his veranda, calling to them - to fly for their lives. By this time the tornado was near and its roar so loud that my voice could not: be 'heard; though they saw. my. frantic gestures, .» In the west wing of my mother' 8 cotfage were north and south win- dows, and I could see her standing qtiietly at 'the south window, gazing '| in awe and silence upon the fearful phenomenon, 'so "terrible in 'its sh ons that, Shik Nas preilbgund or two stories in height, which are occupied mainly by sudénts, labor- ers and small merchants. A large brick house stands just southeast of the addition and to the east of storm path, while the North Mis- souri state normal school buildin is just beyond the western limit. I knew that at this hour nearly all the people would be at home at sup~ per and the tornado would burst on them without a moment's warning. A great crushing feeling of horror and grief supplanted the awful dread that only a moment before had stilled my heart. i Shouting to my wife that we were safe and directing her to telephone for surgeons, I ran east in the di- rection of the tornado. It had now, grown to such gigantic proportions that it seemed to extend from the zenith to the farthest limit of the eastern horizon, When it struck the 'densely populated part of the city the continual crashing and' tearing of houses was added to that, of incessant rumbling and roaring, making an awful 'sound, whichs swelled in volume until the earth trembled beneath our feet, The air was filled with flying debris. Doors, shutters, roofs and even whole houses were sent soaring and whirl-' ing to a height of 800 or 400 feet. I saw the wheel of 'a wagon or car- riage flying up into the storm cloud. One house was lifted upward to a height of more than 100 feet, when it seemed to explode into A Thousand Fragments, which went goaring, whirling and mingling with the other debris. The wind two blocks away as it crossed our street pulled down a cedar tree in my front lawn and a huge large plate glass of the house adjoining was burst outward by the pressure of the air within and shat- tered into a 'hundred fragments. During the few seconds that the tor- nado took in crossing our street no one was in sight and I continued my flight toward the scenes of disas- ter without meeting or seeing any- one. . On it swept in its unswerving northeast course; a great black monster obscuring the eastern sky, a raging, baleful thing; a hateful, devouring demon, tearing up houses to their foundation stones, roaring, rumbling, crashing, thundering in its awful rage, the most terrifying spectacle man ever gazed upon until it swept out of sight, leaving a path of smoking ruins in its wake. About 30 minutes after the torna- do had swept over the city a black, angry cloud rose in the west and spread over the entire citv delug- ing it with a downpour of rain, while the wind blew such a gale that many of our younger assistants be: came frightened and ran into cel- lars, ditches and sewers, to escape the fury of a second. tornado. In vain the older and more experienc- ed shouted that there was no dan- ger. The downpour of rain soaked us all to the skin and was, of course, much worse for the unfor- tunates, many of whom were still under the ruins. Those whom we did rescue were laid on mats, doors and shutters until we could get men to carry them beyond the stricken district to carriages and ambul- ances, for the timbers and debris made it impossible for a vehicle to cross the patch. Seeman Mf een MANY LAKES DISAPPEARING. In Europe as Well as Africa, They Are Drying Up, A report just laid before the Sen- ate at Cape Town says definitely that South Africa is drying up not because of any lessening 'of 'the average rainfall but on 'account: of the steady disappearance .of ths local water supplies. .
