BILL NYPS CYCLONE,
He Was Dadly Injured. but His Ho-
mor Eased the Pain,
Fifteen years ago a cyclone came out
of the depths of Bt. Croix Lake, swept
over New Richmond and Clear Lake,
Wis, in the blistering heat of an
afternoon, anu after it had passed the
searchers found Bill ivye lu the wind
fall of a plue forest suffering from a
broken leg, He was conveyed to his
home in Hudson, where his humor
served to lighten the weary days of
waiting for the leg to heal.
When the storm came Nye was driv-
ieg through the forest with his broth-
er, a resident of Clear Lake, and had
fa very narrow escape from death, In
a path of some eighty miles in length,
amd ending with a clondburst that
flooded the towns of Eau Claire and
Chippewa Falls, the cyclone sacrificed
nearly 100 lives and removed one vil-
Inge temporarily from the face of the
map. 1 found Turtle Lake, eleven

Bill Nye speedily recovered from his
injury. and in a few years all traces

man who refused to take even his own

How Animals Keep Cool,
“Wild animals oppressed by heat are
almost human in their actions” ob-
served a naturalist. “They seek shel
ter from the sup, thirst much for
water and fall down at last sunstruck.
The tigers of India and the Hons of
Africa seoks jungles that are nearly
impenetrable for man where io pools
they wallow for hours chin deep In the
water rather than endure the intense
heat of the sun driving through the
mass of foliage overhead, Further
than this, they may sometimes be sur-
prised lke deer in the water.
“In hot weather fishermen often
see along the shores of the Adirondack
and Maine lakes numbers of deer.
These animals make frequent visits
during theday to the water, where they
nibble at a lily pod now and again and
swim across to islands or to the op-
posite shore to cool off their overheated
bodies,
“Cattle seek the woods and shaded
when the sun begins to show
its fury, but they are often driven out
of such cool places by a more deadly
enemy, the armies of bloodthirsty and
keenly weanpened insects, and resort
to the hills. Curiously enough, many
insects prefer keeping in the shade to
quenching their thirst for blood. When
cattle seek the pools and streams fishes
gather around to snap up the flies
