the latest explanation of their origin, a
set forth by Prof. Loomis in a recent pa
7 per before the American Academy o
) Sciences. According to this theory, il
regular periods of low temperature ar
, caused at all seasons land, of course, pan
ticularly in the winter by the descen
of cold air from the upper layers of tn
atmosphere, rather than by currents c
! cold air setting in from the north.
i summer, during thunderstorm, the ten
c perature often falls ten degrees in fey
g minutes without any north wind. TIL
s descending currents result from the Ou
I ward movement, which generally take
a place from the center of an area of hig
g barometer; and these sudden gusts {
