The Western Tornado.

The tornado reported from Missouri and
Indiana has proved exceedingly destructive
along the line of its narrow pathway from
st. Charles to Princeton. The meteor struck
the first named town, which is situated on
the peninsula formed by the junction Of the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers and near st.
Louis, like thunderbolt, and before the in
habitants could realize the cause of the dis
aster laid portion of it in ruins and killed
several people. The whirlwind then took n
southeasterly course, and on reaching
Princeton nearly destroyed the town and Sc
verely injured number Of the residents.
1t is very difficult to determine the true
causes of these phenomena. However, a
careful examination of the meteorological
conditions which preceded and attended the
tornado of the 9th may throw some light upon
them On the afternoon and night of the Goth
an area of high temperature extended north
ward, its edge stretching from Leavenworth
TO Pittsburg, with ON advanced curvature
reaching as far as Keokuk, where the temper
ature was as high as sixty degrees. An op-
posing cold wave from the northward had at
the same time been forcing its way south,
and had reached Omaha, where the ther-
mometer indicated thirty-seven degrees. On
the morning of tho 9th the cold wave had
forced itself further southwark in the shape
of long, narrow, curved protrusion, which
had Cairo at its extremity, where the temper
ature fell twenty-three degrees in eight
hours. In the meantime the thermometer
at st. Louis had only shown a fall of eight
degrees, and that city became the centre Of
an area of high temperature, which was sur
rounded on three sides by o wall o.

Pancakes.

Nobody knows why pancakes are eaten on
Shrove Tuesday more than any other day of
the year. The custom has descended to
us from remote antiquity like many other
rites the origin of which is lost Why pan
cakes should be eaten is clear, for they are
palatable, wholesome and cheap; but why
eat them on Tuesday and not on Monday !?
There is the problem which puzzles the pro-
foundest philosophers. To see great theo-
logian or antiquarian pondering in vain over
simple pancake is touching. All deep
thinkers know why they peck eggs at Easter,
but pancakes are as bad as the origin of sin
in one way, though much better in another.
They are plain rs the sunlight on plate,
being cake made of flour, eggs and water,
and with butter, sugar and lemon juice, de-
cidedly good. But historically considered
pancake is as obscure as Robert Brown
ing's "Inn Album" Shrove Tuesday
comes in and makes mystery of
the pancake. Shakespeare, who refers
to everything, refers to the custom in "Alls
Well That Ends WELL" where the clown
saws that his answers fit TO all questions as
well as pancake for Shrove Tuesday; but
even the immortal bard does not attempt to
explain it, Neither do we. 1t is enough
that the excellent custom exists, and that it
was yesterday generally observed. Pan
cakes are good on all days of the year except
during Lent, and why should not they have
one day dedicated to their virtues2 Let us
not mediate too long upon such matters,
but cat the pancake first and cross-examine
Shrove Tuesday afterwards This is n phi
losophy which might have more general ap-
plication.

dense cold air. A canopy of cold
atmosphere was formed over this space
toward noon, and it was owing to
sudden rupture of this superintendent
volume, and the upward rush through the
opening so created of the confined warm air,
that the whirlwind or tornado was generated.
The contact between warm and cold volumes
OF air always creates the phenomena of storms
IN some OF their many forms but when, as in
this instance, the enclosed warm air repre-
sented volume seeking an outlet through
an enveloping mass of cold atmosphere the
consequence of its escape would represent,
but on grand scale, the terrific forces un-
loosed during a boiler explosion. This
evidently occurred Immediately over or
very close to st. Charles, and the violent
whirling movement of the air which accom-
panied its upward flow destroyed everything
movable that lay within reach of its infu-
ence. This terrible visitation suggests the
propriety of redoubled vigilance on the part
of the Signal Service observers, in order that
some indications might be discovered which
will warn us of the probable generation of
these meteors.
