.sTornadoes" ana "UycIones.

In view of the confusion that exists in
the use of the word ''cyclone" in the
United States, Gen. W. B. Hazen, Chief
of the Signal Service Bureau, has issued
a circular explaining the difference be-
tween ''cyclone" and tornado and
requesting writer's for newspapers to use
the latter name where they have been in
the habit of using the former.
ga cyclone is a broad storm from 100 to
$50 miles in diameter, with spiral inward
blowing winds near the centre, but with
a calm space ten or fifteen miles in di-
ameter) at the centre itself. These broad
storms never leave a narrow path of de-
structiYe action along the track of their
central passage, but are rather beneficial
than otherwise, as they bring the greater
share of our rains. AS whole, these cy-
clonic storms travel across our country,
from west to east, at a rate of twenty-five
to thirty miles an hour. The same storm
often endures for a week, and its path
may be followed for several thousand
miles.
''TOrnadOes are the violent local storms
which of late years have been enormously
called cyclones. They appear TO be gen.
Grated only in certain parts of the broad,
relatively harmless cyclone storm. They
are marked by the we'll known whirling,
funnel-shaped cloud, and by their narrow
path of destruction. They advance at
rate of twenty-five to thirty miles an
hour, corresponding to the progression Of
the great cyclonic storm within which
they are generated, and a single
tornado seldom endures more than an
hour or two. A number of tOrnadoeS fire.
quentiy occur on the same day in ada
cent States; they are commonly associ
ated with thunderstorms and with gales
or squalls OF violent straight-line winds
Tue name tornado has be en- used as here
indicated since the early part of this cen
fury in this country and in Europe. Its
replacement by cyclone is very recent ant
should be avoided"

THE SUNS ECLIPSE.
An Interesting Solar Event to Take
Place This Month.

An Interesting Solar Event to Take
Place This Month.
On March 16 will occur an annular
eclipse of the sun visible in the United
States and British America. 1t is the re-
turn Of the annular eclipse Of Feb. u,
1881. In 1881 the central line passed over
Texas in nOrtheasterly direction, being
last visible on this continent in parts of
Virginia and North Carolina. At this
return the path will be further
north. The eclipse will be annular over
a line from Cape MendOcino, California,
in latitude 40 degrees to Greenland in
lati tude Il degrees. 1t is estimated that
the eclipse will be annular over patch
about seventy miles wide. The only
towns of consequence in the United States
within this belt are Eureka, California,
and Bozemau, Montana. At st. Paul the
eclipse will obscure fiVe-siXths of the sun,
but viii not be annular. At Chicago
seyen-tenths of the sun Will be hidden.
From this city the observation will be
somewhat less, but sufficient to render
the eclipse most interesting event.
The eclipse will be annular because the
cone of the moons shadow does not reach
the earth. 1t will appear annular at those
places nearly in the line Of the point OF
the cone. In an annular eclipse ring Of
sunlight surrounds the moons shadow,
the moon being at such a distance that it
does not cover the whole Of the SUMS disc.
Until recent years annular eclipses have
been neglected by astronomers; but
during the last one some very important
observations were made by the French
astronomers, and it is probable that some
effort will be made to observe the coming
eclipse. At all events, the partial phase
which will be visible here viii be care
fully observed if the weather permits.
The time of its occurrence is very favor
able for careful observation. The eclipse
will take place between y 80 and 3O'clOck

AT THE THEATRE.
Janauschek and the "SilVer King Il
Weeks Attractions.

Janausehek and the "SilVer King" the
Weeks Attractions.
The weeks attractions at the Theatre
will be Janauschek on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights and the "Silyer King"
the remainder OF the week. Madame
Janauschek will appear in her new play,
''My Life" The play is in four acts, and
is the story of an English BarOnet who, in
the whirl of youthful dissipation, becomes
infatuated with and secretly marries
Partisan singer of unknown antecedents.
BY the will of his uncle the family estates
fall to him only on condition that he mar
ries his cousin Florence. offspring of an
other mesalliance. He sees and loves
this cousin, and she returns his love; but
almost at the altar his better nature pre-
vents him from committing bigamy. He
returns to his vulgar French wife to live
with her. Madame Janauscbek, ID is
said, displays great force and versatility
in the roles of 'Leben," blind woman,
and "Circe Encore" the French singer.
Madame Janauschek's private car, in
which she travels, is one OF the hand
soonest ever built by the Mann BOudOir
Company, and is one OF the features of
the actress life. The sale of seats for her
gagement will begin tomorrow even
ing.
1.-The Silver King" with F. c. Bangs and
Charlotte Behrens, will Open.on Thursday
night. The play is known to every thea
tre-goer in Savannah. Mr.. Bangs and
Miss Behrens need no introduction.
Lawrence Hanley, who is playing his
second season with the company, will
play the character of "Geoffrey Ware, =" in
which he has won enviable success. No
play written in recent years for the
English or American stages has drawn
out more favorable comment than this
drama. 1t may be said at the outset that
the flattering notices given the play, both
in England and America, have been well
merited, for its authors have succeeded
in writing a drama infinitely superior in
the moral of its story, in it's dramatic
construction, characterization, scenic OPP
pOrtunity, and in the strength and vigOr
of its dialogue, far superior to anything
of its class the stage has seen for years
The sale Of seats will begin on Wednes-
daV morning.

The Inauguration Of President Cleye-

worthy of celebration all over the country.
The Democratic victory at the polls last
November was celebrated in a
manner that will not soon be

illumination OF the city on Wednesday
night. The decorations and many of the
lanterns and transparencies used in the
November demonstration are stored away

A general illumination of the streets

Savannah Vs.. Charleston

Living, as regards some articles, is eX-
tremely dear in Savannah, and many per-
sons contend that it costs % per cent.
more to live here than the same manner
of living costs in Charleston. We can re-
flute this argument partially. Take cloth
ing for instance. You can go around to

Court OmciaIs' Costs,

Judge Pardee, of the United States CIR
cult Court, has fled his opinion deciding
the question referred to him by order OF
Judge Boarman on the motion to retaX
costs in the matter of the bark Thomas
Fletcher. The questions involved in the
case have already been fully reported in
the NEWS. Judge Pardee sustains the
exceptions of MIR. Il. H. King, Clerk of
the Circuit Court, in the finding Of the
referees as to what constitutes a final
record, and orders the payment OF Mr..
Kings costs, which was refused by the
decision of the referees. In the opinion
Judge Pardee reviews at length the
methods u procedure in courts of record,
and the difference in the procedure in the
Circuit and District Courts.
