The storm crossed England and reached the Irish Channel, where it again played havoc with the shipping. Admiral Lord Nelson's flag-ship, the Foudroyant, was anchored off Liverpool. It had been touring up and down the coast as a show-ship. The storm put an end to its journeyings forever. It was caught in the gale, driven ashore, and is now a total wreck.
If such storms are repeated, we shall have to tell our European cousins how they manage tornadoes and cyclones out West.
In the State of Kansas, tornadoes are more dreaded than fires, and the Kansas children are taught a tornado drill as our Eastern children are taught a fire drill.
According to the statements we receive, the citizens take to the prairies the moment a tornado strikes a Kansas town. As the children cannot run as fast as the grown-ups, they have often been caught and injured by the terrible storms before they could escape.
To prevent such accidents in the future, some one decided to build tornado caves under the schoolhouses. These caves are large enough to shelter all the children while the blow lasts, and the scholars are regularly drilled in the methods of reaching these caves quickly and in good order.
The teacher sounds the alarm, and instantly the pupils stand up, and to the music of their own singing march down the stairs and into the cave.
Then, let the tornado rage as it will, they are safe.
The tailors' strike is over, and has resulted in a victory for the strikers.
The contractors have signed the new agreement, and most of the tailors are now back at their work.
