A Western Tornado.
Sunday afternoon, the 2Stli of June,
will long be remembered on accouut of the
violent storms of thunder and wind that
occurred in various parts of the country.
One of the most destructive of these passed
over a portion of Detroit, some of the
incidents of which are furnished by the
Prce Press of that city, and will afford a
pretty good idea of the hurricanes so com
mon iu the "West.
The greatest destruction was south of
Grand lliver avenue, from and including
Fourteenth street to Eighteenth, between
Magnolia and Linden streets. Its track
was perhaps one hundred and fifty feet
wide, and within that limit nothing could
resist its tremendous force. Houses were
taken up high in the air, shaken into frag
ments, and in many instances scattered over
territory a mile in length. Indeed, flying
pieces of timber were seen whirling aloft
and flying about fully two miles from the
place where the work of demolition began.
Where at one moment stood a row of
m
substantial houses, the next witnessed a
scene of devastation impossible to realize,
with scarcely a vestige of the building in
sight, so utterly were they swept off the
face of the earth. Everywhere were heard
the cries of the wounded, whose bleeding
and mutilated bodies were pitiful to look
upon. Kichard Dates, aged eleven years,
was caught up and carried into the topmost
branches of a tall elm which stood on the
commons near his mother's house, at the
corner of Fifteenth and Linden streets.
II is violent contact with the limbs tore his
clothing from his person, and he fell dead
to the ground, a distance of fully fifty feet.
A little babe seven months old, the child
of Carl Feea, -who lived on Fourteenth
street, was found dead in the street. Mrs.
VanDusen, a widow, with two children, 011
Fifteenth street, had gone up town to visit
her father, and when she returned her
house was nowhere to be found. It had
been carried bodily at least two hundred
feet, torn to atoms and scattered far and
near. The only recognizable portion of the
building found was the front door.
Frederick llademacher, who lived at 74S
Sixteenth street, was sitting at home with
his wife and two children, when he suddenly
felt himself hurled through the air and saw
the walls and timbers of his dwelling flying
in every direction. lie escaped with a
slight scalp wound, but his wife was more
seriously injured. The children where also
considerably bruised. The house of Martin
Schneider, at the corner of Sixteenth and
Linden streets, was totally destroyed, but
both Mr. and Mrs. Schneider were
miraculously saved by a cupboard, which
protected them from the foiling timbers.
When they were rescued both were found
to be quite unhurt. It said that six or
seven persons were killed.

peculiar action of this storm-cloud, whirl-
wind or whatever it was might be related

some most astonishing gyrations. Houses
on the outer edges of the track of the storm
were punched full of holes by huge timbers
that were whirled along end over end
shade and fruit tress were uprooted and
carried a long distance : bricks from top
pling chimneys rattled down and struck
fleeing men and women, and through the
storm roine the most appalling shrieks.
The two-story frame house on the north
side 01 v 1 rand luver avenue, m.-coiiu nouc
1 t. - 1 ii- . ,1 1 .
west of Twelfth street, was occupied by
Mrs. Goodhue, with four children. The
inmates of the house at the time of the
storm were at tea, and, hearing its ap
proach, went to the door. Mrs. Goodhm
comprehended the situation at a glance,
and directing her companions, the house
hold crouched down in the corner ot tne
dining room before the base of the brick
chimney, where they remained until the
I V 1
langer was over, escaping unhurt, although
pieces of lumber were flying promiscuously
through the building. 1 lie house on tne
corner of Twelfth and Brigham streets was
occupied by Henry Ford, his wife and five
children. While at the supper table a

Candy Eating Girls. .
James Campbell, chief steward of Vassar
College, tells the editor of the l'oughkeepsie
Eagle that the young ladies at the college
are given to eating-confectionery between
mtsals, and considers that the use of caudies
in that manner is certainly hurtful to them :
but the appetite for it seems to bo fixed,
and therefore he attempts to meet the
situation by putting fine candies upon the
table.
Candy eating by girls between meals is,
in his opinion, fully as bad a habit assegar
smoking by youtig men. The extravagance
of it is also to be deplored. One lady pupil
iu the college itses it to an extreme, and
not long ago she had a package of candy
sent to her from New York, the bill for
which amounted to 610. If one J'oung
lady hands it around freely, another thinks
she must too, and then there is no end to
the outla3r of money for it.
Had Mr. Campbell gone further, he
might also have said that it is candy eating
that takes the roses from the cheeks of
American girls and makes them pale "and
sallow, lie might have said tnat the eating
of candies by women and pies by men
makes us a nation of dyspeptics, and saps
up our vitality, making us feverishly
vigorous at times, but apt to succumb
before disease much sooner than the plainer,
more substantially and more hygienically
fed Englishman.
How Marbles Are Made.
The chief place of the manufacture of
marbles, those little pieces of stone which
contribute so largely to the enjoyment of
boys, is at Oberstein, on the Nahe, in Ger
many, where there are larire aerate hills and
quarries, the refuse of which is turned t )
good paying account by being made into
small balls, employed by experts to knuckle
with, and are mostly sent to the American
market. The substance used in Saxon' is
a hard, calcareous stone, which is first brok
cu into blocks, nearly square, by blows with
a hammer. These arc thrown by the hun
dred or two into a small sort of mill, which
is farmed of a flat, stationary, stationary
slab of stone, with a number of ccentric
furrows upon its face. A block of oak, or
other hard wood, of the diametric size, is
placed over the stones and partly resting
upon them. I he small block 01 wood is
kept revolving while water flows upon the
stone slab. In about riitccn minutes the
stones arc turned into spheres and then,
being fit for sale, arc henci forth called m ir
blcs. One establishment, with but three
mills, turns out 00,000 marbles each week.
