The Tornadoes •of the Last De-,

Past. '
The occurrence o great and destnic-
trve storms is freqn ntly marked in• his-
tory. Perhaps the nost terrible one on
record is what is kiown -as the great
storm of Novem r 26-27, 1703, in
England and throitghout Europe. In
that frightful tem t, lasting through-
out the greater partiof the two days, the
in mber of person* drowned in the
ames and Severn, and lost on the
t in ships blawn!from their moorings
and never heard of afterward, was estit
mated at 8,900 sou . The'loss of prop-
eity sustained in LoIndon alone, b wind

ons sum of 2,000,000 pounds s rling..
I .the county of Kent agreat nu ber of

yr re killed and drowned., In the West
dies from the 3rd' to the 18th of Oath -
r, 1880, terrible h rricanes devastated
t e whole country. At Barbadoes over
4O0� inhabitants lo t their lives in the`
tempest, and the dcstruction of British
and other vessels in West India was
frightful. Anothe terrible hurricane

the whole town. On the 18th, at several

reported a terrible toirnado, and the vi -
trinity of Springfield, Illinois, was visited
by 4n awful cyclone, pulling up trees anal
whi ling fences in the air. On June 19,
sante year, (1871) there was a terrific

on t e 28th of the same month there was
a gr at storm on Lake Superior, attended

The Russ an Grain Trade.
The Gazette e St. Petersburg gives
the following d tails of the conference
lately summons by the Ruseian Govern-
. men for the pur ose ot considering --first
the quantity of cereals which Russia on
an average year would-be able to export;
second, the mode in which: that export
could be affected now that the southern
port ri have been blockaded, and also in
the event of the blockade extending to
all the ports of the Empire. The confer-
ence was attended by delegates from the
chief railway companies, assisted by per-
sons intimately Connected with the grain
trad, and from the proceedings it ap-:
pears that the average expert of gram,
has risen within the past theee years to;
about 143,000,000 bushels. The ship-
ments from the Black Sea end the Sea o;
Azof, with the exception of the ports of!
to abbut 62,000,000 bushels; and as this
Bert h, and Eish, amount on an average
year only 1,000t000 were exported, it is
calculated that about 50,000000 bushels!
remain in the soitthern provinces, to be
transported by rail either to the northern!
ports' or to frontier towns. ' The capacity!
of the railwaysy tem to overtake this in-
creasd traffic was the subject of nichl
the conference, and ule
was drawn , up showing!
reins which would re-
consideration by
tiinately a table
'the numbers of
quire to be dispatched daily on. each of!

transport. From this it appears that if
-theexport is 'not' to be delayed, the nurn-i
ber of trains per -day •on. the principal'
lines must be increased from' about 1301
to 190, and it reniains to be seen wheth-
er, when the resources of the companies
are so greatly taxed by the war traffic.

Killing Cattle with Eilynamite.
- An interesting experiment was Made
•,
last week at a horse -slaughtering estab-
lishment at Dudley, with the view of
testing anew syestem of slaughtering cat-
tle by the meana of dynamite, and thus
putting them mitof exietenee more speed-
ily and with less suffering than by the
ordinary pole -ax
Two large powerful horsestend a don-
key (disabled for work) were ranged in a
line about half a yard apart under a shed,
the donkey being placed in the centre.
A small Primer of dynamite, with an elec-
tric fuse 'attached, was then placed on
each of their foreheads and fastened in
position by a piece of string tinder the
jaw. The wires were thee coupled up
in circuit, and attached t� the electric
machine, which Stood about five yards
in front. The hendle of the machine
being then turned., an electric current
was discharged, which explededthe three
barges simultanequaly, and the animals
a:Amly fell deadf without'af struggle.
The whole affair was over ie two min-
utes, end the experiment appears to have
been a perfect success. It was conduct -
d byl Mr. Johnsen, agent for Noble's
Explosive Company, Glasgow, assisted
63, Mr. Harris, one of the 'dynamite in
structors: By this means, it is stated,
any number, even a hundred or more
cattle can be instantly killed by the same
current of electricity. There cannot be
a doubt that the present system of
slaughtering cattle is open to the charge
of being cruel end barbarous, and the
slightest want of skill on the part of the
slaughterer often subject* the unhappy
beasts to horrible tortures. Ally attempt
