Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-04-20

General HszeD, the chief signal officer, Is
studying the subject of tornadoes, and Ser
geant Finley will soon leave Washington for
the purpose of making an investigation con-
corning the wind-storms which swept over
Michigan, Iowa and Illinois, on the 9th
instant. The signal service bureau issued
last year a valuable monograph on the
character OF the storms Of May % and June
80, 1879, and it has in press another paper
by the same writer, containing a tabulated
statement concerning 600 tornadoes, with
congratulations founded upon their history
and suggestions as to the proper method of
investigation. These 600 Storms occurred in
q period of eighty-seven years in this country.
1t ia shown that these storms occur most
frequently in summer, and in the month of
June. They have occurred more frequently
in April than in July, and more frequently
in May and September than in August.
Kansas is the State which has been most
severely affected by them, having been
visited by sixty-two in the period from 1859
to 1881. Illinois has had ffty-four from
1854 to 1881; Missouri. forty-four from
from 1881 to 1881; Georgia, thirty three from
1904 to 1881; Iowa, thirty-ene since 1854;
Ohio twenty eight since 1928, and Indiana,
twenty-seven since 1852. So far as can be
ascertained, there has been only one since
1894 in each of the following States and
Territories Colorado, California, Indian
Territory, Nevada, New Mexico, Montana,
Rhode Island, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
The storms occur most frequently between
5 and o'clock in the afternoon. The
average width of the path of the storm has
been 1885 feet, and the storm cloud has
travelled at a rate of from twelve to sixty
miles per hour. Within the vortex the wind
sometimes attained velocity of 500 miles
per hour, the average being S92 miles. A
tornado cloud always mas a center and it
always moves forward from west to east 1t
may, however, sway from side to side as it
goes. Changes in motion are sometimes
very sudden, and when one of these changes
takes place the observer, who may be east or
southeast of the storm, should move quickly
southwark. Ii he is northeast of the storm,
be should move northward, and if very near
to the cloud, he should run eastward, bear
ing little to the south. These are some of
the dir, ciious given. Sergeant Finley will
make very thorough examination of the
recent storms.

ADJUSTMENTS.


Last night the Ford Opera Company APP
peared in Audran's Olirette before good
audience The APPEAL has SO often paid
its respects to this opera that it would be
useless to say anything further on the sub
ject now. The Ford Company's presentation
was certainly not a happy one. They give
an enjoysble performance of Mdscotte and
BIce Taylor but their Otipefte is surely weak.
Miss Bockell, who played the Marve-
jobs daughter, was not at ali good,
and her tendency toward the baby
lingo was painfully silly. Comic acting
certainly does not consist in twisting the
EngIish Language all awry. When Miss
Bockell learns this she will be thoroughly
acceptable actress. Mr.. G. w. Denham was
a very good "De Merrimac," Chas. F. Lang
was fair Valentine" w. III. Fitzgerald
was not a good "Duke;" Mr.. II. c. Curley
was not a good "Coquelicot," and Miss
Mamie Taylor, though very handsome
girl, was an exceedingly poor Countess"

Fine Legs.
Yesterday four of the pedestrians booked
for the walking match next week, put in an
appearance. Daniel O'Leary, Frank Hart,
James L. Downey and Pat Dale O'Leary
is in excellent trim, and begins exercise to-
day. Hart is understood to be in good form,
and he will again delight the admirers of
pretty, lish walking. Downey is a New
Orleans chap, with pedestrian aspirations,
while Dale is a small. dark-skinned South
erner, from the same city, OF whom Magee,
the trainer, thinks good deal. He saws Dale
is the best walker in the South. The walking
watch will be for 123 hours, beginning at 8
o'clock Monday night and closing at IL
o'clock Saturday night. A si1-days contest
will certainly be novelty here, and with
six good pedestrians who mean business, it
can hardly fail to be a pronounced success.
The city will be filled with strangers; there
will be no regular attraction at the theater,
and there is no reason why it should not be
a big hit The interest in pedestrianism
was only fairly awakened BY the previous
contest night; now its eyes are open and
it lie on the alert.

ment will turn out in order to give those
who have never seen a fire in the city
an idea of the alarm and anx-

cursion parties from all the surrounding
cities and towns of Tennessee, Arkan-

all three of the States will be most
cordially welcome. The various dry goods
and fancy goods establishments will make
fine displays, and the merchants of every
