WHIRLWIND PICKS UP TREE While the atmosphere was perfectly calm on Sunday at Reading, a fierce whirlwind raged in the hills of Alsace township, about a half mile from the city. On the farm of Samuel KEPLER the gale caught up a large apple tree, tearing it from the ground by the roots. Though the trunk was two feet thick, the tree was carried over a fence into an adjoining field.
