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.

(iKinitl HDK IMMHTHY. litlerefliik AeeSMnt *f the Manufne lure—< oaf mid Malerinls. 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.

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.

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.
