How a Tornado Looked.
THE FEARFUL VISITATION AT KANSAS Cry
RUN LEFT IN ITS TRACK.

Before the visitation of the tornado. at
Kansas City, the air was heavy and the fitful
wind carried sheets of rain hither and thither
without apparent direction. In another hour
the skies had grown darker and across their
sullen surface torn scraps of clouds in fan
tastic shapes scudded with velocity that
told of the presence of vast air currents
somewhere in middle space. These were
followed by dark sheets as of smoke that
rolled up from the horizon,
broke and lost themselves. The air sudden
" grew cold. II is impossible to describe
the weird and unnatural chill, save that it
was icy and lasted for some moments. just
then a gigantic cone-shaped cloud, the point
toward the earth, appeared in the northwest.
Those who noted the time, saw that it was
exactly 4.30. The cloud rushed into view SO
quickly that it was impossible to tell whether
it was born of conflict of the elements be-
fore the eve or came from some point be-
yond. Moving with uncomfortable rapidity,
and bounding like a ball, sometimes hundreds
of feet above the earth and sometimes trail
ing upon it, the monster passed over
Wyanliotte, and paused at the bar opposite
the mouth of the kaw. where IL sucked up
tons Of sand, completely changing its color
from dark blue to deep dun, then it zig
tagged upward. bounded into miiair, and dis
appeared.
Scarcely had it made its spectral exit when
another cloud, almost identical in size and
shape, appeared at about the point where the
first was seen. This cloud can be likened to
nothing 90 much as q partially collapsed bal
loon with the neck enormously elongated and
twisted about. The color was reddish yellow,
distinctly relieving it against the darker back
