A Slgnal OIcu Rn’lnlns 'l‘olr Dll’snncee

“ Are the storms then which lay waste
our Western country tornadoes and no cy-
clones ?" was asked. V
“ Tornadoes. every one of them.“ was
the reply. “ A cyclone was never seen as
far West a the Mimicsippi. The cyclone
is a production of the West Indies and is
unknown during the summer months. Dur-
ing September and October the heated tropi-
cal currents develop vast rotary storms
from 500 to 1.500 miles in diameter. which
sweep in a parabolic curve against the South
Atlantic. coast. The cool trade winds blow.
ing down the coast direct their course and
send them sweeping inland. Pa-ing north-
ward they describe their curving flight m
far as Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
and then rush with bowling force acrossthe
Newfoundlvnd banks. Some of them reach
England and Ireland. The same storm rs-
vagee the «mat of Japan. and is called a
:yplioon. The tremendous breath of cy~
ioiies seldom gives local evidence of their
circular swoop. Their calm centres are
much dreaded by navigators. The Signal
Service cautious mariners against sailing
into a ‘ cyclone centre.‘ The atmosphere
is ulways striving to “stain Its equilibrium.
and so long as sonic parts of the earth get
warmer than others. storms will rage."
“ In the tornado a tropical promotion ?“
“ Not by any means." replied the Signal
Service ofleer. " 0n the contrary. that
dangerous visitor comes from comparative
ly cool regions. Sweeping down from the
snowy desolate wastes of British America

crosses the border. From the Southern
States and Gulf region. a hot wind. some-
times 100 deg. flows up the Mini-sippi val-
ley to meet it. The towering Rockies bani
these currents in to the westward. and they
come together with a mighty rush. The
warm current rises to escape. the cold air
deflects downward. and with a whirl and
rear a tornado cloud gathers. The result.
not of the two forces is invariably northeast
and the track of death is cut through every
obstnclo. The tornado itself is invisible;
its fearful power is simply atmospheric
pressure concentrated in a truukdike form.
Mathematical calculation will show that the

it reaches the surface. the aerial messenger
might strike an invisible death blow at any

“ Every hailstorm would be a tornado if
it reached the ground. The atmospheric
conditions producing hail are precisely
similar to those generating tornado clouds.

discovery after passing through bail clouds
and noting the phenomenon. Tornadoe
have always been a feature of the Mississip.
pi and Missouri valleys and will continue
in long as the world lasts. ’lhrough the
vast forests of Minnesota and Wisconsin
tracks are visible where tbs tempest of wind
hewed its clear cut path a century ago.
Even the legends and traditions of Indians
are full of accounts of the mighty storms
which struck terror to the hearts of the
aborigines and leveled their forests. The
Signal Service at Washington is in constant
receipt of letters from Canadians and East-
ern people desirious of going West inquir-
ing the portions of country unvisitcd by
tornadoes. In 1879 tornado insurance was
not thought of. Last year over $28,000,000
was written."
Speaking of hurricanes. Lieut. Finley
said that they were merely straight winds
moving at a velocity of between 80 and 150
miles an hour. The Texas ” norther " is a
cold trade wind. the Montana “ chinook“ a
warm current and the “ blizzard “ a hurri-
cane with particles of ice and snow in its
teeth. Tornadoes are known as “ wind
falls “ in the West.

At the Folie Bergen. Paris. there is e
aovel entertainment. What may be called
the stage is a large tank of salt water. At
the hand of the tank was a recess hidden
behind closely drawn curtains. Here the
seals and their directors were lying in wait.

the seal party was further represented by a
red faced male disguised in evening dress.
whose functions were to announce. in terms
of supppoeed facetiousneas. the exploits
which the amphibious marvels were to ac-
conpliah.
At a whistle from their trainer. the seals
returned to a platform of boards and drew
themselves slowly into position for thc first
feat. consisting in a spirited musical trio.
Master Bobby. a large grey seal with black
spots. who. in spite of one slightly damaged
eye. presented a most distinguislmi appear-

seals are indifferent to loud reports (it
whether it is the Inmiliarity of these trained
use with firearms which has blunted their
sense of hearing. but we notion that during
the gunpowder episode they seemed quite
oblivious to the disturbance they were
creating.
After this the seals ascended a hiddn-r and
plunged into the water beneath. with the
result of wetting all the furnalc toilrts within
a certain radius. They awani about \‘cry
comfortably with liglitn-«l pipos lll tlu-ir
mouths and fetched sticks and planks and
slipped their heads. through collars. Fish

feat. Bobby. being» older and plumper th.m

say in America. in the race for sticks and

were. of course. overjoyed at this evidciice
of Ilobby‘a hoary guile. but his master was
pitileas. and the daring attemp to palm off a
spurious stick was rewarded with nothing
more than a sight of the coveted morsels.
Finally Bobby and llilly were harnessed
to a boat containing a little boy and girl.
and drew it around the tank at a very dash-
ing pace. Billy in particular seemed to gal.

night clerk was giving change to a well-
dressed. but very tired :young man. who
evinced a‘strong desire to lie down on the
marble floor and take a nap. The change
pocketed with some difficulty. the young
man tacked dcviously through the door into
the dark street beyond. The night clerk

thing about it. Regular drunkarda are bet-

drugs before confronting an irate wife or
mother : of the latter. only a third go to an
apotliceary. Almost all have a limited
knowledge of what they want. but let us

favorite potion is bromide of potash and

lo not participate in the gayeties of the

through it on their way to and from the
various dramatic agencies.
New York is the Mecca to which all actor:
and managers make a pilgrimage in tht
summer time. Here it is that almost all the
timLclaas companies are organized and sent
out to prowl upon what is technically call»
ed the road. and it is next to impossible for
an actor to obtain an engagement without
coming to this city. Birds of a feather flock

meat and consent the bipods of the theatri.

variably speaking of it as “the Square." as
if it were the only one in New Yark.
If a manager wants a man for a particu-
lar part and can think of one to fill it he
goes to “ the Square " and looks fona suit-
able actor; but if he finds one who is reg-
istered with any of the dramatic agents he
must engage him through them.
These dramatic agents are a clan of mid-
dle-men who have long stood between actors
and managers. They conduct their bus-1
.icsa on the same principal as any other cm.
ployuient agent. They have handsome
emcee where actors seeking an engagement
:au register their name and whercmanagerr
can obtain a list of players who are disen-
gaged. They arrange meetings between
managers and actors and in various ways
promote the making of engagements. To
the manager no fee is charged. but the actor
is required to pay the agent from one-third
to one-half of his first week‘s nlary. This
basilica is liable to many abuses. but it is
in numerous ways an advantage to both se-
for and manager. At one time these agent!
