The Cause of TOrnadoes,

Mr.. T. B. Maury has an interesting ar
the North American Review for Sep
TENDER. He notes the fact that the tor
nado is to be distinguished from the cy-
clone or thunder storm, which has much
less force, the rate of speed of the cy-
clone being about twenty five miles an
hour, while that of tornado is often
seventy miles. The one which struck
Grinnell on the 17th of last June tray
elled 200 miles in four hours. The tor
nado belt lies between tn e tenth and fif-
tieth parallels of latitude, although
countries having a mountainous surface
are seldom visited by such storms, even
when they lie in the belt. The encoun-
ter between the great anti-trade currents
and the polar winds in the belt specified
is the chief cause Mr.. Maury assigns for
tornadoes.
The Mississippi valley is described by
Mr.. Maury as "grand continental high
way IN summer for the vapor-ladeu
trade winds,' which entering the Gulf or
Mexico, are arrested in their westward
current, and must find an outlet to the
northward. The anti-trades, which form
the 'equatoriaP' current, are simultane-
ously moving northward as an upper at
mospherlc force. A chance stoppage Of
either Of the two currents, causing a
conflict between the cold air force from
the pole and the warm air force from
the equator, occasions the formation Of
the tornado. Mr. Maury describes a
tornado as "a mass of air in violent gv-
ration, within which there is a center of
rarefied air rising upward and flowing
out above, the velocity of the surround
ing atmosphere, drawn into the vortex
below, increasing immensely as it nears
the vacuum" TIE funnel-shaped cloud
Of the tornado is caused by the cOnden-
satlOn of vapOr carried upward to colder
regions.
Mr.. Maury can find no reason for be-
lieving that the Mississippi valley will
ever become free from tornadoes, since
they have their cause in the great air
currents which no transformation of the
surface of the country can interrupt; but
he makes suggestions as to how their
fury may be escaped. With a prompt
telegraph service, furnishing simultane-
Gus weather reports from the threatened
districts each morning, competent me-
teorologist could give the public warn
ing of the existence of conditions favor
able to the production of tornado.
MIR. Maurv also suggests that by
choosing sites for towns and buildings
with an elevation ON the southwest side
of them, protection from tornadoes may
ordinarily be secured, since they al
most invariably move from south-south-
west to north-northeast, and a hill in
their course will cause them to leap over
whatever is just beyond it. A witness
of the Grinnell tornado says: cit did
not always visit the earth's surface, but
often passed so far above as to int1ict no
injury, but again would swoop down with
relentless fury, carrying destruction for
a few miles to every object in its path
This description of the action of the tor
nado which destroyed a large part Of
Grinnell impressively explains why Mr.
Maury advises the selection of building
sites with an elevation on the southwest
side of them.

THE JEANETTE SURVIVORS.
Engineer Melville, Noros and Ninder-
man Arrived in New YOrk-What
Melville Has to Say.


man Arrived in New York-What
Melville Has to Say.
Chief Engineer Melville and Seaman VIM.
Noros and Vim. Ninderman, survivors of the
jeanette Arctic exploring expedition, and of
the party that discovered the dead bodies of
Lieut.. De Long and his companions, and
Lieut.. Robert n Berry of the burned Arc
tic exploring steamer Rodgers, arrived at
New York on Wednesday.
The steamship Parthia, bearing Melville
and party was met down the bay and as
Engineer Melville was discovered by those
on the tug they set upa shout of "There's
Melville, God bless him" and party of the
Parthia's passengers started the song of
Home Again, and it was taken up all over
the ship. Melville was soon on board the
United States tug and made haste to the pi-
lot house where the ladies ofthe party were
seated His sisters and neices We're warmly
embraced by him and everybody in the pilot
house wept as Melville sobbed convulsively
and held his sister to his breast Melville
stepped out of the pilot house and encount-
cred Capt. Wotten, the aged and grief strick-
en- father-in-law of the late Lieut. De Long.
Capt Wotten grasped the e. gineers hands
and, after saying something in an under
tone, wept like child. Melville steadied
himself against the pilot house and, cover
ing his face with his hands, seemed thor
oughly:oyercome with emotion. The hospi-
talities of the city were rendered by Aid
McClave. In reply Melville said that he
was New York boy. one who had been
brought up in the public schools of this CITY,
He felt that he had right to say that he
and his companions had done their duty
He had been in the government service
twenty years and had stood many kicks
and hard knocks. "And I would have
stood by my friends if they had stood by
me-"
Melville was introduced to reporters, and
when asked whether he desired to commu-
nicate with the public upon any point of
special interest, he said, mo, not at this
time. The whole matter, the condition of
the jeanette, the trip and the results, is to
be investigated by naval court of inquiry
and am not allowed to say anything until
examined by the court, then everything will
be made plain" Melville has the Jeanette
log and private log, Lieut.. De Longs LAST
written instructions to him, in fact, is pre-
pared at the proper time to repeat De Longs
last words to him. A file of marines saluted
Melville as he landed on the dock, and es-
corted the Arctic voyagers to hotel. "
