Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept A-To day the Demo
cratic strikers who have for some time been at
work in the Treasury Department and elsewhere
here upon matters bearing upon Senator Sher-
mans administration as Secretary Of the Treas
ury, incubated their project and dispatched q
messenger to Columbus with lot off stuff to
manufacture into campaign dement's. Among
other things sent out was verbatim copy of
the testimony taken by the Senate committee
which investigated Mr. Sherman's purchases
from the contingent fund of the Treasury. The
matter is to be turned over to the Democratic
State central committee There is nothing new
in any of it, and there is not an allegation in it
but has been fully met by Senator Sherman and
long since exploded The work simply shows
the desperate straits into which the Democrats
are being driven in conducting their campaign.
Government Tornado Investigation.
Washington Special.
Officers of the signal corps are investigating
the causes of the recent series of tornadoes in
Ohio, one of which swept away the town of
Washington COURT House They have an idea
that meteorologists have long entertained wrong
ideas on the subject of storms, and among other
things, that the theory advanced by Professor
Ferrol, which has been recognized as true one
is all wrong. This theory is that the cooling of
the atmosphere at great height causes it to
condense and create vacuum; the air of the
lower strata of the atmosphere rushing upward
to I'LL the vacuum, violently agitates the air near
the surface of the earth, and brings about the
tornado 1t is believed that balloons will be
necessary to follow up the contemplated investi
cations. Captive balloons would be employed.
The great velocity of wind sometimes felt at the
top of Mount Washington is thought to be due
to the fact that the current up the side of the
mountain is added to that of the horizontal cur
rents and an increased momentum is impaired.
Should balloon be anchored to the mountain
and allowed to drift away few thousand feet.
where the influence of the earth in the peak
would not be felt opportunity for the testing Of
Professor Ferrols theory might be offered
Balloons could be anchored at great heights in
various parts of the country and then compari-
son of the data acquired would reveal important
results.
