CURIOUS RESULTS OF roRsADoEs.

The frequency of tornadoes throughout
the South this year, renders their freaks o.
more than ordinary interest. Hardly &
week has passed since the breaking up OF
the winter, in which several have not been
chronicled, more or less disastrous 10 life
and destructive to property. Georgia and
Tennessee have been most frequently
visited, but other States have had all the
desire of these peculiar visits.
The properties of tornadoes are not sat.
isfactorily accounted for by scientific men
In the summer of 1864 we watched one oil
the monsters, for they can be designated by
no other term-from its first appearance
near the mouth of Wycomico river, on the
virginia shore, from which point it con-
nectcd with water-spout assuming the
shape of an hour-gl which finally
crossed toward Point Lookout, on the
Maryland side. After travelling about
eight miles the gun boats destroyed the
water-spout by firing several shells into
it, when the tornado with lightning veloc-
ity. shot up nearly an eighth of mile,
amer which 1t pursued q zigzag course,
striking first near the shore, destroying
several h1ge commissary buildings US If
they were made of straw, and severely
wounding many men. 1t then shot up
in the air. the next descent striking in the
midst of dozen hospitals standing very
closely together, and filled, with one ex-
ception,s with wounded Confederate SOL
diers. Singularly enough, the unoccupied
buil1ing was taken up by the tornado as
clean as If moved from the spot in the usual
manner, and in its course up again, was
carried far out of sight into the bay, leav-
ing no trace of the wreck behind. On
this occasion one spike was picked up
by the wind from a number which lay up
on the wharf, and was carried distance
of fifty yards, and then deeply lodged in
the shoulder Of guard on duty, inficting
serious wound.
In 1867 we watched the course of one
OF these tornad0es in Georgetown, in this
State. After twisting down and uprooting
large number Of the huge oaks that form
ed the avenue on the plantation, some of
which were carried long distances, killing
cattle and wounding the plantation hands,
it shot out into the open field, and struck
affirm looking oak of about foot in diam
eter, that stood by itself, and entirely ex-
posed to the fury of the blast. After the
occurrence, we examined this oak, and al
though it had not been started from its
roots, nor had it lost branch, even to the
smallest, the bark was completely taken
