^Tne presidents of the United
States who .are dead are nearly
all buried in tbe neighborhood
of the houses which they occu-
pied. ■ Washington's tomb, at
Mount Vernon, is known to all
the world. John Adams and
John Qaincy Adams lie beneath
the Unitarian church at Quincy,
The coffins are of lead,
placed in cases hewn from solid
blocks of granite. Their wives
are buried with them. John
Adams died on the same day
with Jefferson, a strange coin-
cidence itself, but stranger atill,
it was the Fourth of July, 1826.
a century after the de-
tff independence,
they had joined in mak
ing. Divided bitterly in their
lives, but reconciled in some <
greeas their years drew to a
close, they quitted the stage of
action side by side. Jefferson,
like his compatriot, was buried
in his family ground—by his

set down, on the flyleaf of an
old account book, his wishes
concerning it "Choose," the
memorandum said, "some un-

Haw to Aet In a Tornado.
Sergeaut John P Finley, sig-
nal service officer at Kausas
City, Mo., has published, in a
pamphlet on tornadoes, some
useful directions concerning the
course to be taken to escape the
dangers of those teirible forces.
The inhabitant of a tornado-fre-
quented district must be/watch
ful in the season of visitations,
for he can never know when the
destruction will come upon him.
On the first sign of the ap-
proaching vortex he must run—
always to the north, unless by
going in that direction he will
have to cross the entire path of
the storm. If lie is nearer to
tho southern edge than to the
centre of the probable path, he
may go south, bearing slightly
east; but in no event should he
ever run directly to the" east or
northeast. It is impossible to
save any building that may lie
in the path of the tornado, or
any property that cannot be got
out of its way. No material, no
method of construction can be
competent to resist the raging
destruction. Nothing rising
above the ground can escape it

point,within easy distance from
the house, to serve as a placerof
refuge or shelter. The retreat
should be entirely underground,
with a roof at least three feet
thick, not rising above the-spr
face of the earth,, and entered
from the northern or eastern-
side A "cellar cave" may be
constructed from the cellar, if
tbe house has one, to serve as a
substitute for the "dug-out" It
should be excavated from the
west wall of tbe cellar- toward
the west, and should be made as
complete and secure as the
"dug-out" If, hoover, the
storm cannot be escaped, if no
refuge is at hand or there is not
time to gei to it, the safest thing
to do is to place one's self
against tbe west wail of the eel
lar, face forward,- or against tbe
south wall as near the southwest
possible. The north
quarter is, in any case, a
