The causes which produce tornadoes
are pretty well un lerstood. They are
found very often iu the Mississippi
Valley, which, ns is well known, is a
legion particularly liable to such at
inospherio disturbances. Suppose that
the day is warm and sultry and the
stratum of limited air near thu earth is
full of vapor. A current of cold air
flows iu above. There you have a sit
uation which is calculated to make
trouble. The oold air being much
heavier than tho warm, tho natural
place for it to ooooupy is the bottom
layer, with tho warm stratum on top
of it. Ho there is u teudeuoy for the
two to chun;e places. A meteorolog
ical squabble ensues, which produces
what is called a storm,
Presently the oold layer of air aloft
finds a place in the worm layer below
it, through which it oau make its way
downward. It does so, and the per
formance is exhibited to the eye of the
observer 1y the appearance of a de
scending funnel of :vat. It whirls

TRK'KH TMKI W ITH STOKM.
Men havo stood within 150 feet of
tornadoes on the north side, which is
the snfo side, without being injured.
AU sorts of foolish tricks have been
tried with these storms. A Kansas
man tried to drive across the path of
one with A team And wagon, thinking
that he could get over in time and be
ing in a hurry to deliver some lumber.
The coDsequonce was that he and the
horses were killed and badly mangled,
the cart being red.iced to a wreck nud
the lumber scattered over several
square miles of territory in the shape
ot ktiitlliug wood. I'eonle have ac
tuiilly refused to run awny from a tor-
I1B'1 w ith similar consequences,
Others havo made the mistake of ruu-
ning in front of it, thinking to out-
strip it in the race. But it is a fact
that anybody who has ouce encount
ered a "cyclone" is always more than
ready nfterward to promptly "hunt
his hole."
It is not possible to determine with
Accuracy the path of a tornado until it
i is too near to be comfortable, save that
I it track is ol says from southwest to
northeast. The question as to which
I w ay to run muy have to be decided ou
?ho mutmit. Supposing the danger
'"inent the proper way to do is to
' ru" "'cr north or south, but never
! the "aMt or northeast, because that
! ,H ,ho direction iu which the storm is
"l"v- 1' it only a mile awny and
1 co""" directly toward the observer
tho lattpr u jt about ono minute to
i "ut ot tllv wft.V. If he does not
rturt wong the chances are thnt he
' w,u cxi"4l,e- 1' in doubt strike for the
I ""th, for, as has been said, that is the
safo side of a tornado.
THK OOIXBOE AFTEK TUB CYCLONE.
Happily, iu the east such phenomena
are comparatively infrequent, but there
is not a State between the 100th meri
dian aud the Atlautio Ouean in which
they do not occur. Accordingly, no
body oau be sure that he may not at
some time have to tackle a tornado,
aud these rules, if not worth pasting
in one's hat, should be at least remem
bered. As for seeking shelter from
such danger in a building, there la
AN
no mtttf in that. Experts in snch
matters declare that no structure can
b raised by man above the surface of
the earth which will resist the violence
of this sort of storm. Not even so
massive a pile as the treasury building
could withstand flrst clsss tornado.
In the greAt "cyclone" At Orinnell,
Iowa, a few yrArs Ago, which destroyed
many lives And a vast amount of prop
erty, one of tho buildings reduced to
complete ruin was A solid edifice ' of
stone ami brick nsed for A public
school. The tornado tore it to pieces
as easily as if it hAd been so much Uth
And plaster.
On the contrary, a building of brick
or stone is a more unsafe refuge from a
tornado than frame dwelling, be
cauac, if destroyed, it tumbles in and
buries people in the ruins. When the
famous "cyclone" of 18!)0 struck
Louisville forty-four persons were
killed in the wreck of the Falls City
Hall. Thst storm wiped ont seventy
six lives And S'i.'Jol), 000 worth of prop
erty in Louisville, and in other towns
fifty-nine lives And $1,000,000 in prop
erty. The whirling cloud, which was
described as shaped like a turnip,
struck Louisville At About 7.45 in the
evening. The noise it made was com
pared to the passage of a heavv train
of cars over a bridge a thousand times
intensified. All the gas jets in the city
went out or were nearly extinguished,
And the crash of fallingbuidiiigs Added
to the Appalling rumpus, while a ter-
rifio electrical disolav served as an ac
compantment, balls of fire playing
about. Apparently tho lower end of
the funnel did not touch the ground,
the destruction being confined to the
upper stories of the houses.
Ihc only pleire where safety can be
found agaiust a tornado is uuder
ground. In the region where storms
of this type are frequent prudent
people construct what they call
"cyclone cellars." This is usually an
excavation made through the west wall
of the house outward, so thnt no part
of it is beneath the dwelling. The
west aide is chosen because the danger
always comes from that direction.
Ami, if the house is demolished, the
ntins will be thrown Away from the
"cavd." The floor of the latter is
made level with the floor of tho cellar,
and the earth roof of the cave is sun-
ported by heavy timbers sni
with masonry of brick or ston
1 arched

are precautions against damage by the
falling of heavy musses of debris.
Sometimes a cave is dug apart from
the house, but close by it, on tho west
side. It is made big enough to ac
commodate all the inmates of the
dwelling.
Huch a resort is a means of absolute
safety. Fortunately, as has been
said, the approach of a tornado is ad
vertised iu advAiiee by unmistakable
premonitory symptoms. The house
holder has simply to convey his family
to the "cyclone cellar," close the en
trance by a strong door provided for
the purpose and await the passing of
the danger. If a person finds himself
in the path of the whirling monster
and has no refuge the best thing for
him to do is to throw himself face
downward, with his head to the east
aud his arms over his head to protect
it. If near a large stone or stump he
should lie down with his head toward
the object, embracing it. If compelled
' to remain in a building he should go
to the west room on the ground floor
aud stand in the center of it. It of
ten happens that half of a house is
torn away, the other half remaining
uninjured. By seeking tho west side
one is more likely to escape being
struck by debris.
A tornado struck the town of Mor
gan, Ohio, June 19, 1883. At 9.30 p.
ui. a householder, whose account ia
quoted, heard a roariug as of heavy
thunder, which called him to the
door. Ou opening it he immediately
discovered a bright cloud, which had
precisely the color of a glowing oven,
j apparently the size of a half acre of
grouud, moving rapidly in tho direc
tion of his dwelling. The brightness
of the cloud illuminated everything
about. There was uo light uiug nor
rain, but aoontiuuul and tremendous
roar during the passage of the storm.
The roaring of a tornado had been
described as a combined woo-oo-oo
and whir-r-r-r.
Tornadoes seldom oeour singly.
There are usually several ot them in a
lino, which all run up the country
toward the northeast. Frequently
there are several lines, one following
another. In rare instauues the same
plaee has been struok by two of the
whirling funnels in quiok succession.
It ia supposed that this form of
BLOWS FROM THK TRACK,
meteordlogieal diatuhance generates an
immense amount electricity. Home
of the things it does are snch as, it
would seem, could only be aceom
plished by electricnl Action. To this
Agency has been attributed the pluck
ing of chickens, which is a common
fresk incidental to the passage of a
cyclone. Fowls, without being hurt,
Are often divested completely of
their feathers, aud roosters are pres
ently seeu strutting about the stricken
barnyard, crowing, though perfectly
naked.
POINTS tx t)ISPt TF..
There are many points about the
tornado which are in dispute among
meteorologists. Home of them are ol
the opinion thnt there is a partial
vacuum in the middle of the whirling
balloon cloud, and many witnesso
spenk of the manner in which the huge
funnel sticks up everything in its path.
It ia stated that the sucking sound is
very distinctly heard as the luotistet
rushes Across the country. It certainly
does take up water from streams, and
one instance is recorded where a tor
nailo completely emptied a well forty
feet deep. Other Authorities Aver that
in the midst of the revolving funnel
there is a plenum, the reverse of
vacuui.i.
IN THE PATH OP A TORNADO.
Home of the doings perpetrated by
tornadoes are most astonishing. At
Walliugford, Conn., August 9, 187, a
storm of this sort blew stone monu
ments off their bases. It was estimated
that the velocity of whirl required to
accomplish this was '200 miles au hour.
Children have frequently been lifted
hundreds of feet into the air and
laid down unhurt. It has been observed
that objects uplifted by this agency
do not drop with tho ordinary force of
falling bodies iu ninny instances. A
w hirling cloud at Pine Plains, N. Y.,
June It), 1H:!5, caught a man on a road
with a team and wagon carrying a
hogshead of sugar. The hogshead and
contents weighed P250 pounds. It,
together with the horses and cart, was
hurled over a stone wall. The man
was blown iu the opposite direction a
distance of fifteen rods. Light objects
are sometimes transported a distance
of tweuty miles. In one instance n
horse wns carried half a mile aud put
. down uninjured.
People who are struck by tornadoes
j are commonly stripped entirely of
' their clothing, particularly women. In
one recorded instance the trimming
was taken oil' a dress as neatly as if it
i had beeu done by hand. Persons w ho
meet with such A misfortune Are apt to
1 bo covered with mud, plentiful
quantities of which seem ordinarily to
bo carried by the cyclone. The hair
of women is tarn from their heads ami
twisted into ropes sometimes. On one
occasion a carpet, which had beeu
securely tacked to a floor, was taken
up and carried out of the house with
out being torn. Hitch freaks as the
driving of a piece of scantling seven
feet long and six inches square length
wise through the body of a hog are not
unusual. Attempts have beeu madu
to refer the phenomena of tornadoes
to spots on the sun, but it is not likely
that any connection exists.
- One Theory Ahout Dyspepsia.
"Dyspeptics," affirms Doctor Austin
Flint, the well-known medical special
ist, "are chiefly persons who eat regu
larly, restrict their diet to simple food
iu small quantities and constantly have
their stomachs ou their minds. I tell
my patients to eot whenever they are
hungry, even if it ia just before going
to bed to eat as much as the appetite
demands, to appease the thirst iu the
same way aud live as sumptuously as
possible. Gourmands may have gout
they don't have dyspepsia."

the time, Washington being only six

built the hut themselves. They used
it for an ollioe, sleeping in the attic
