Left a Trait of Death.
Atlanta, Ga., ialarch 2.2.—A special
to The Evening Constitution from
Arlington, Ga , says: --''A cyclone
struck this town to -day and has left
behind it a trail of death and des-
truction. The high school building
was blown to pieces and from the
wreck nearly 100, dead dying and
injured people have already been
taken. The following named pupils
were instantly killed: 011ie .Parra -
more, Claud Roberts. Alice Putman,
Albert Butler, Willie Me\Iarra,
Kenneth Boynton, Maud Johnston,
Mary E. Ellons,
At least ten others will die, ac-
cording to the latest reports of the
corps of eruergency of physicians
now caring for the injured.
Prof. Walker it is feared cannot live
and Prof. Covington is badly hurt
Not a single person in the big build-
ing escaped injury. About 1:30
-o'clock there was a holt in the high
winds which had prevailed giving
tonne promise of a clear day. Prof,
'Covington going out to Iook around
beheld a dark cloud, well fringed
with electricity, moving rapidly in
the direction of the school. His
trained eye at once told him that
there was danger. Hurrying the
children into the school for safety the
roaring of the coming cyclone was
upon them before they had time to
think: .
The storm increased in strength
and velocity and the building began
to shake and careen. The building
was wrenched into fragments, so that
the pieces fell inward and among the
first struck were Claud Roberts and
AIice Putman, who were killed at
the first blow. Profs. Walker and
Covington worked to succour the
children, notwithstanding both had
received serious wounds. Miserable End.
The scene was soon sttrrounded Lawrence Walls, who died in St.
by the parents of the of the Michael's hospital, Toronto,ofcoal gas
children, the sight of eight little ones
already dead and of ten others
crushed and bruised and bleeding in
all phages of torture, was enough to

Ontario ,Agriou1tural and Experi-
mental Union.
Upwards of 1,000 varieties of farn
crops have been tested in the Ex
perimental Department of the Ontari
; Agriealturat College, Gtie! ph, withi
the past eleven years,. and six hun-
dred of them have been grown for at
least live years in succession. Nearly
all the Canadian sorts and several
new varieties, imported by the Ex-
perimental Departinent of the On-
tario Agricultural College, from
Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia,
and the United States hay e been
included in these carefully conducted
experiments. Some of the new varlet•
ies have done exceptionally well and
have already been distributed over
Ontario, through the medium of the
Experimental Union with very
gratifying results. The Siberian

tar tested were distributed in small
quantities.
The present system of co operative
experimental work in agriculture,
was started in 1886 with 60 plots,
which were situated on twelve diff-
erent farms in Ontario, Since that
date however the work has increased
from year to year, and in 1896 there
were 11,124 plots, which were situ-
ated on 2,260 farms. We are again
prepared to distribute material for
co-operative experiments with fertil-
izers, fodder crops, roots, grains
grasses and clover.
Interested persons in Ontario who
wish to join in the work, may select
any one of the experiments for 1897
and inform the director at once of
the choice made. All material will
