Dak., says: Pierre citizens have just passed through one of tho most femmknblo nnd thrilling freaks of (lie elomonls over experienced in this section. For tho last throe days tho mercury has averaged about 108 degrees, hut Inst night capped the climax. About nmo o’clock the western heavens svero suddenly illuminated, and in a few moments wind swept down tho streets, blow ing down several housos nnd doing other damage. The wind was red hot nml rnuplo were compelled to seek sheltor in lellm sto avoid the intense and auffm ating heftt. The wind continued unt 1 4 O'clock this morn ing, and nt. 2 b'cloek the thermometer registered 105 degreet. Passengers who rame in from Montana on the Northern Pa cific say the air was almost unbearable. If a hand was thrust out of a car window- the rushiug air felt like a blast from a furnace. The trainmen had their faces blistered and swollen by the hot air. Tho letter from Ashton was referred to Hlgnal Office Observers Lyons and McGinnis, and for a moment both were amaze I, and at first neither could beliove it possible that the thermometer had reached any sucli altitude ns 120at4 A.M. With an engernessof twoscicn- t ists thov began to seek to accountfor it. Mr. McGinnis was inclined to believo that it wns similar to the terrible Halmra Desert simoon which, like this hot airstorm, is accompanied by a dark cloud, aud seems not only to bo hot but deoxygenized so that it acta on the lungs' almost like carbonic acid or davitalizorl air. Sergeant Lyons us- ' sented to this partially, butj.snggcsted that it might have boon tho heat from a huge meteorite. Both agreed that it wns ono of the mystorious weather dispensations of Divine Providence which could not be i predicted. KILLING JUSTIFIED.

The adage: "It’s easier said than done," is only a variation on what we aro constantly observing in life of the difference between theory and practice. Wo may be fully equipped with a theory, and over rendy glibly to expound it, though when the occasion arises for putting it into practice wo forget all about it. Tho teacher of chemistry in n large public school was speaking to his class of the properties of a particular acid. In one hand he held a glnss vessel filled with the acid in question; in tho other he held a stick of chalk with which he had just been writing a chemical formula on tho blackboard. . "By the way,” he said, addressing his class, "I may remark here, that should any of you by accident spill any of this acid on your hands, I should advise you not to give way to the very natural im pulse to rub it off with your pocket- handkerchief. Tuko u pieco of chalk in stantly, nnd rub it over the wet surface, and the chalk will neutralize the effects of the acid.” Just then, by an accidental movement, he spilled the acid on his own hand. Quick as a shot he dropped tho piore of chalk which ho hold in his hand, pulled out his pocket-handkerchief, and be gan rubbing the injured hand vigor- onsly. , , , , Everybody who was present laughed at this unexpected application of theo retical knowledge; and after a bewil dered glance round the room the teacher laughed, too. The demonstration of the difference between theoretical knowledge and practical efficiency was complete. Portraits on Bank Notes.
