The Difference Between the Tw it
••torms—The \ era fraa Moral.
From the N w York Times.
It is a misnomer to call the violent re
volving stoim which <l<vastated the city
cf (ialves'on and the adjacent coast of
T< xas on Huturday night last, a cyclone.
It was In r-allty a hurricane, and more
clflcally what is known to meteorolo
gists as a West Indian hurricane. A hur
ricane ha# a much smaller center or di
ameter than a cyclone travels with far
greater rapidity, and Its blasts often reach
n v b*clty of lurt mil* # an hour The hur
r ran*- of the \N st Indie*, which Is r* .illy
born In the hc-atod waters of the South
Atlantic, and which as a rule curves when
It re aches ihe Yut-at.in channel and fol
lows the course of the Gulf stream, de
crease* In Inbnslty as It travel# further
north, hr ad-n# In diameter, and becomes
the cyclone of the North Atlantic.
It Is a curious feature of the Galves
ton hurrl ane that, like the gr*-at hurri
cane of B- ptemle r. IWU. which devastated
Vera Crux, it did not follow the course
of the Gulf stream, but curved westward
In? tea 1 of 'MS (ward, after passing the
Yucatan < ham.el. nd rushed In upon the
Texan co_#t. Galveston has not up to
thl# time le n considered n# within the
hurricane belt, and It# recent awful visi
tation Is prenf that tt-e laws of storms
have exceptions to their rule*.
The late Bad re Vines of Havana, the
vc-ii* mbl* and earn* and Jesuit priest, who
made a lift long study of th- birth and
course of West Indian hurricanes, was
accustom* and to w arn by cable the many
ftri i d# that he had among the captains
mi the vessels plying to and from West
Indian i>ort# of th* appr a h ot hurri
canes and their probable course. In Bep
ti mi*er. Itfl, he cabled to Capt. Joshua
Heyno|:is, command.ng one of th** Ward
steamers, ami who was Just leaving Vera
Crux for New York, that i hurricane was
approaching from the eastward, and thni
h* would belt* r siam slowly to and jast
lTogr-so and let the great s'n-m pass lip
and along the Gulf str-am Cpt Reynold*
acted in obedience to the warning, but
tbs particular hurricane. Ilk*- the on*-
tlmt struck Gaivestcn, curved to the west
ward lust*ad of to the eustward. after
parsing th*- Yucatan channel, overcame
an area €if high barometer that hung ovai
the Mexican coast, an l rushed into Vera
Fru*. carrying doaih and <letructlon In
its wake < 'apt R- yrolds and hls ship
safely weathered the hurricane and were
received at Havana with great rejoicing,
where It had b*en thought they were
lost.
It w.i# in lISI that still another West
Indian hurricane curved the wrong way
end swept the waters of the Gulf over
I gist Island, then th*- ueat summer resort
f Bouthern *oei ty, situated a few mile#
west of the mouth of the Mississippi off
the coast of Faratarla. Those who wish
to obtain some canc.p lon of th*- horrors
attending the Galvest n hurricane should
read Lafc.idlo H*xrli's story of “Chita:
Th*- Romance of last Island,” In which
that skilled word (winter depicts the
scene# of the awful tragedy which *k*cl
mattd the hou.-eholds f the South.

From the N* w York Evening Post.
Washington. Bept. 12.—An Interesting ac
count of the process of manufacturing
masks Is given In a r* port by O. J I>
Hughes, United State# consul at Coburg.
He says that paper masks are made by
doubling on* sheet of u billy prepared
pa par. wetting It, and moulding It by
hand over a face form; It Is then dried
by artificial heat, and cut off the form.
Openings are cut for ©yes, nos* and
mouth, and it I# painted and *l* or.it*#l
by hand a# desired. The paper u#*d by
Bonne berg manufacturers Is mad*- In
cieshtu and Schleuslngen nnd costs ut
present aKuit Vi cents |* r Ift* sheets. *ne
sheet makes three 4>f the c mm>n masks.
The {Minting of cheat* masks costs nlnnit
12 cent# th** gr*#s; th* moulding of face#
costs tilmiit 11 cents per gross. Backing
I# figured nt ©bout 3 |*er cent., ns the
mask# are rolled In brown |*o|*er, the ends
being folded In t<f save string. The ex
pense* are estimated at about 15 |>cr cent,
leaving the net profit 3) to 22 r*er cent.,
a# th** complete article sell# at present
at al<out 42. H cents |*er gross. The cash
discount varies from 2 to 5 |*er cent., ac
cording to the state of th*- order and re
liability of the |ur.h.i er. Hast year the
masks sold for about **n**-thlrd of n cent
each, nnd next year's price Is exi*ectr#| to
)o 13 cents per gross. The cost of raw
paper next year. It Is estimated, will le
higher, nnd there will b*- an lncren-*> In
the cost of painting. The hair used for
moustaches, etc , coat last par 15.5 to 17
cents per pound, but this year 19 cents
Is |vild Manufacturer# have no trouble
In getting gol price*, and are making
handsome profits. These caLutailon# are
on Ihe % i h**fi** i st staple go*ls; on special
ties the gain Is considerably more.
Wire masks are maca by * tamping a
piece of wire netting about one foot
•quart owi a face mould in a large ma
chine. enclosing the rough wire edges in
a narrow strip of l**ud. and painting The
taller I# done bv hand In oil colors. The
price# of these mink# have undergone lit
tle chan- e during last year, but an tn
crease of about 4.7 cents the dosen Is look
ed for next season. The present selling
price of the cheaper masks, on which my
calculation* are based. 1# 47 € cents the
dox* ii Th* wire Is at this dale selling for
*# 33 P* r .2o pounds, but thU Is an extra
ordinary low price. The workmen on these
sin rmieks ure reported as fairly well
satisfied with the wages they vealva at
present, and no marked Increase# are look
ed ft*r next year. The men receive 4.3 to
4 7 cants ihe dosen for miking the mask;
pulling on the flesh iok*r costs about 3.K
cents, and th* painting of eye# and fa
lures, etc., übout 5 7 rents the dox* n.
ITice# of labor, as wall us of raw mater
ial- will not be settled for n**xt seiuon
until the latter part of November.
Grtuxo mask# are made |y mobling over
a clay face form 4 iloubled piece of cheap
linen gaiixe that has previously been soak
ed In a starchy paste. The sticky linen
1# made to adhere to the form, and this
I# set on a stove nnd dried for about
twenty minutes. Th* linen Is then taken
olf and openings cut for eye, mouth, and
nostril*#. It is painted a# desired and
makes one of the most practical mask#
known. The gaiixe mask Is us#-*l consld
rahly In ih*- Fnn**l Btates. blit the larger
portion of them tn* mode therein by mn
ehln<# ownul by two firms, one In New
York and Hie other In Findlay, O. The
price of the gnus*’ has risen about 10 per
ocnt over last year, being at present 1143
per 44-yard Ik>lc; one bolt make# tw ntv
flve dosen masks. The cost to make and
IMlnt, including linen, which I# sold o
workmen. Is 11 71 the gros#. Add 3 per
cent< for packing. 15 |u*r cent, for general
expensna, and the cost comes to at>out
12.02 the gross. The masks are noM at
present for nhout $2.2* the gross, a rF**
of II cent# over Inst year's prices. The
profit I# thus only aliout 13 per rent., nnd
not the 3 to 25 per cent, exacted when
calculations were made. The reduced
profit l# due to the Increase In cost of
materials and labor after the goods nre
sold. Most of this Industry being factory
work, the trade Is more easily controlled
than in other industrial pursuits of Hoo
rn berg. and no startling changes are look
ed for.
LIGHT*IXO WOMB*.
Many More Men rttrsek. Per ha pa by
Henson of Grenier Exposure.
From the Boston Globe.
Many iten-on* are timWl during thunder
storms. In consequence of a peculiarly ner
vous organization. Such persons may l*e
ossured that the risk of being killed by
lightning Is extremely slight, when *v>i
pited with the mortality from oth-r
use#. In general it may be .stated mat
such an event occurs only one three-hiin
• Iredth a# often a# a death from typho'd
fever and only one two-thousandth ae
often as a d*xth from consumption. In
other words, while then have been t
least 2..<M) deaths from consumption and
v 55.000 from typhoid fever in M issachn
sett# sln*-e IM2. there have ix-en only IV.
death# from lightning in the state in th*
same time.
As i general rule |er#on* nre more Ha
de to harm from lightning when out of
door# than when they are sheltered *n
xu.-es. Tall tree# unloiiM(dly en*fanger
me live.# of person# who are sheltered be
neath them Yet many cases are report
'd of lightning stroke In open field# In
* Louse, the best |>o#ttion In a thornier
tor in !* tlie < enter of a large room, ln<
th* electric fluid usually, but not alwayv.
follow# th*- wmll# of the room. Seniors i?
#ea nre liable to lightning stroke, and
rr.et illlc object# carried in the pocket#
n:#.. render one ilaM*- #o harm
When death occurs It is usually Instan
taneous. but has been known to occur
from secondary cause# after the lapse of
several days. The head and upper part#
of the body are most liable to injury, and
woupds. burns, and blisters ar* often
found after death. Case* also occur in
which no mark# whatever are found. If
the fs-rson struck Is slan*iing at the tlm*-
of the accident, a hole in the foot may
be found, mat king the point where th*
Pghtning leaves the body and enters th
g round.
A singular effect of lightning sometim- -
noticed Is the aprearanre of certain tree
like mark# upon the body, which were
thought by early observers to be due t<
the presence of nelghl>orlng trees photo
graphed upon the skin. Dr. Rlchanlaon
show*.l by experiment that theae maik#
were probably the imprint# of the hi x> I
vessels on the skin, owing to the action of
the lightning In the blood, since the blood
Is Itself the best electrical cqrvductor of
all human tlssuee.
Women are not so often killed or Injure*!
by lightning as men, the proportion being
about as 2 to 5. Out of IHS d*aths which
occurred In Masearhusetts from this cause
In fifty-six years (1H42-97) fifty-three were
women and 129 were men, and the sex of
three was not stated.
Th*- three months of summer claimed by
far the greater number of victims, 154 out
of lk2 death# from this cause. In which
the date was given, having occurred In
June. July and August. Aliout one-hitif of
the deaths occurred among person# who
were from fifteen to forty years of age.
while there were only four death* among
children under five years of age.
The reason# for these differences In
number# of death* At different age# nnd
ai the two sexes consist In the differences
in the exposure to risk, since men led
a mere exjiosed llf’ in the open aIK an.l
;?•*• s..m* is also trite of persons living
ut tf active and vigorous time of life-*
fifteen to forty years.
\n Intelligent writer on this subjec
Dr. J. 1. Sullivan of Malden, tn sum
ming up the itosslblHtic# of lightning
strokes, makes the following statement:
“Light.ting may heal as well as harm. it.
ir.ty abolish sight, hearing, and the power
of voluntary motion, or It may restore the
lost sense# and cure paralysis. It may
srlp the body nak*d and ronsum*- th*
clothing, while the wearer escapes unhurt,
or it may consume the individual an*l
leave hls garments untouched. One per
son who ds faun*y Injured may b** huil
* I violently to n distance, while another
is left In the precise attitude nnd spot
in tvhich death surprise*! him. One . #e
may present extensive anatomical eh ing
es, such ae rupture of the heart or frac
ture of the bone#, while in another no In
jury will lie detected There may be sud
den burning of the body, or I? may h#
consumed slowly, as by spontaneous com
bi a* * ion and only gradually le reduced
to n#h**s.“ He nlso add# that "the im
mediate disappearance of the stricken
Iverson may occur without leaving a trace
of hls body. #U‘*h cases h tvlng be>n o>
fcerved. Fiom all the observation# which
have been made upon this subject It would
