Lesson OF the WallingfOrd Tornado,

Professor W. II. Brewer, of Yale, has
been studying the features of the Wal
lingford tornado, and giving his views
of tornadoes generally. Nobody, he
saws, can tell what makes q tornado.
There are many theories concerning the
cause Lightning always plays lead
ing part in the disturbance. In some
tornadoes the exhibition of electricity is
grand, There is no particular hour at
which they are formed, but they usually
take place in the afternoon, for it isthen
that q hot day becomes most sultry In
northern latitudes the rotary motion is
always from the right to the left. The
column is funnel-shaped, the small part
being ON the earth. 1t sways from side
to side frequently, and sometimes
bounds like n ball, The movement is
either to the east, southeast or north
east. The Wallingford tornado does
not appear to have been unusually So
we're, and the loss of life was mainly due
to the flimsness of the hous $, winch
we're easily blown down. Similar tor
nadoes often occur in New England
they tear up trees, throw down fences
but rs no lives are lost title attention Is
paid to them. .--BostOw Tf0Nsortn.
