The pnrtles lomplained of, Dr. Allen said, aro will ing to connect their piopertlcs with the sewer if the city Is willing lo let them off with one-tblid of the ossoss mont, which, they claim. Is nil they nie lequited to pav under the lecent ruling of th supreme court. As the sower was built before this ruling was made nnd all tho other pioportv owners paid the full assess ment the city Is not disposed to mnke this exception, tho councllmon stated, but ns the nolsanee must be abated, It wns decided that tho tlty engineer hhould be stmt up there to Invstlgito the matter and to submit for tho up pi ova! of council whatever he recom mends ns the best method of dealing with tho question.

FORMATION OFA CYCLONE. Inception of tho Twisters That Deal Destruction and Death. Trom St Nicholas To get an Idea of a cyclone's for mation Imagine a largo circular pan or tub with quite a laige hole In tho middle of the bottom. With this hole plugged, fill the vessel with water, then draw out the plug and watch. There Is first a rush of water from all dltectlons townrd the hole and a turbulent effort to get through. Then the water surface abovo begins to sink and swill, tho particles gindually cir cling around and around, and rushing, ever faster, townid tho center At last there Is actually a hollow spate around which nil the water In the tub Is vvhlil Ing, sluggishly near tho rim, but with more and moie violent rapadlty tow aid the middle, until It rushes down ward through tho bottom. Now, If that water were air you would be watch ing a little cycle turned upside down, for tho air rushes upward Instead of downward. In the cradle of cyclones during tho summer months, when the land and the water grows hotter because of the longer days than nights, a layer of air, hot, and full of vapor, Is for a time held down by denser air above It. Restless, expanding, tumultous, It moves nbout like a beast at bay, until a thinner place la tho ulr above Is found. Then up It madly rushes nnd Into the vacuum left behind tho lower ntmosphero hastens from nil directions, pushing and twisting nnd pouring upward until It has fallen Into a regu lar spinning nround a i omnion center. Tho cyclone, once formed, rushes away from tho tropics townrd tho pole, nnd begins Its career of destruction, bruis ing, wrecking nnd winking tho luckless ships which happen to bo In Its puth, Moro and more of the surrounding nt- iiiiinjuiujiT .a uitmji llll'i llliJ wniri, un til the storm often covers nn men neatly 1,000 miles In dlumetor.
