Disasters Cyclonic

“Disasters Cyclonic.”—The last few weeks have given us a fearful record of wind-storms, cyclones, and electrical disturbances in Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Oklahoma. In Oklahoma there were five cyclones in eight days. The loss of life is estimated at several hundred persons. Nothing like this has been known before, so far as we are aware, thus early in the season. The “earth is waxed old,” and “the prince of the power of the air” has poisoned the elements of the atmosphere and perverted its laws. How these things should make us long for that new heaven and new earth which shall know no storm or tempest!
