Nature of a Cycloner

IoEuiIF science Monthly.
 All storms of any magnitude that vis,, the | nited States, e Ncept the tropical hur- rlcanes which sometimes touch the south ern coasts, have common origin in or near the Rocky mountains. Here the first barometiic depression Is felt. pre- ceded by rising temperature caused by the warm winds moving northward over the sun -heated surface of Ar.zona, New Mexico and Western TeN,s. These warm raiihed currents of air are met by cooler currents passing over the snow- clad peaks of the north 4 cyelonic storm Is formed usually small <, first. which begins Us journeys eastward gradu ally developing in enel gy and area as il goes. After leaving the mountain ranges there IS but little precipitation for the frs, few hundred miles. As i, advances II usually widens from north 10 south. but the line ofrave. ofthe storm centre can be readily predicted by the signal service observers and its location al any time fixed by the lowest repeated readings of the barom- etcr.
 During the journey of the storm east ward or southeas,ward the wind in ad- vance Of It will be eas,erly. blowing oil an area of high barometer into the low, and the barometer will continue to fall. Toward the north of the storm the wind will be north, and 10 the south of it the wind will blow from the south, frequently causing what are known on the western plains as sand s,orms.' while if the storm occurs during the winter season the wl..c and snow in the northern portion is called blizzard. In the rear of the storm the wind will be westerly. shifting to northwest, frequently blowing gale. the barometer will rise and the ,empera- ture will fall. sometimes rapidly. and clearing weather will follow
 Thus ii will be observed that the true aNis Is the storm-cenire." and that the storm fevolees on this axis as 1t moves forward in an easterly. northeas,erly or southeasteIly direction. This Is the true cyclone. IL may be only few hundred mile, in diameter. or its influence may be telt from British America to the Gulf of Mexico

POLlTICAL POINTS.
The Scott Law In Ohio.

The supreme court of Ohio Thursday
gave out its decision in support of the
Scott liquor tax law. The court holds the
law to be valid and constitutional, ex
cept tho second section, wherein it is held
not to apply to leases executed prior to
the passage of tho act, as no contracts
made can bo violated" The point is made
that declaring one section partially null
and void does not destroy the validity of
the law as whole, and it's legality is not
thereby affected"
Governor Butler is preparing a veto of
the bill for state tax of 81, 600, 600. 1t is
said he will claim that 'she state is $780,
600 better off than it was last year that
the tax should consequently DO but ST.,
500, 900, and that tho state can borrow, if
necessary, at a. much lower rate than
cities and towns"

SENATOR WALLACE plainly told his
Republican colleagues the other day. in
answer to their threats of an apportion-
ment that would give the Democrats
only eight certain congressional districts
in the state, out Of twenty.eight, that
such a measure would not be accepted by
the Democrats, and they were ready to
90 before the people on that issue. So
they are. The Democrats are entitled to at
least thirteen districts. They have offered
to take twelve, and even to accept the bill
drafted by John Stewart himself. When
they are denied even this they can well
afford to appeal to the popular sense of
political justice.

AN impression has somehow gotabroad
that the Democratic state convention Of
this year has the authority or may Is.
sume it-of electing delegates, to the
next national convention. Nothingcould
be further from the truth. The conven-
tion has no such authority. No such
object is included in the call nor was
ever contemplated. Any attempt to ex
ercise such power would be repudiated
by the party at large and an election of
delegates made this year would be as
futile as nomination for governor for
1884 by the convention of this year. OF
course no such attempt will be made.
There will be state convention in 1884
to select the delegates to the national
convention.
