rise, but it is overlaid and held down bv a
layer of cooler air of vastly greater thick
ness than the warm stratum. The thickness
OF the layer warmed by contact with the
earth may be accounted as a mile or less.
while the overlying layer (but slightly or
not at all affected by this heating process) is
some scores of miles thick. 1t is this in
ertla OF the overlying air which causes the
heated atmosphere of the summer time to lie
next the earth's surface, while directly up
above at the height of two miles or So,
the vapor In the clouds is in the frozen
state.
There are several ways by which the hot
air next the surface works upward, and in
The main the movements of the wind are de-
termlned by these modes of upward escape.
Under the tropics, where the sun acts with
most energy, where from years end to
years end the mean temperature does not
1all below 40 degrees of Fahrenheit the
land and sea are alike greatly heated, and
there is steadtast upstreaming of air from
The earth s surface to a great height. The
warm air tends to rise because of its
warmth; the cooler air, to the north and
south OF the equatorial belt tends to flow in,
because, being cooler, it is heavier. The
result is that there is an upward movement,
which, save where it is interrupted by local
influences, exists beneath the equator round
about the world. Attaining given height,
this air of the equatorial belt flows off to
the north aud south, and so the great circu-
latory movement of the earth's atmosphere,
that of the trade winds, is originated.

ouce what we term storms, but rather serve

interdicted book-to instruct the people IN
sacred story. The "mysteries" represented
the narratives of the Old and New Testa-
ments, while the miracle plays" delineated
the lives of the saints. Originally written
and acted by monks. they continued favor
ite Whitsuntide diversion for nearly two
centuries after the reformation, for though
they were strongly condemned by some
churchmen-among them Wickliffe and his
followers-as profane treatment of sacred
subjects, yet Luther gave them his sanction,
saying that "such spectacles often do more
good and produce more impression than
sermons"
These religious dramas were usually
performed in churches, though frequent
ly In cemeteries, market places
and public squares as well. Three
stages were usually erected, one above the
other. Upon the highest was a representa-
tion of the Creator and His angels, and upon
the next lower of the saints, while the
action of the drama took place upon the
lowest.
Upon one side of the last named there
was representation of the mouth of hades,
whence came fire and smoke and the cries
of the lost. Demons also issued from it,
their coarse jests and horseplay forming
the low comedy part of the entertainment,
and affording infinite amusement to the
audience.
IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
1t was my good fortune, while sojourning
in Naples some three years ago, to partici-
ginie, which the Neapolitans annually
celebrate on Whit Sunday and during the
two succeeding days. The principal feat
ures of the celebration takes place at
church erected, upon a mountain, near
Avelino, a days journey on foot from
Naples, and the prettiest and most inter-
esting part of the ceremony is the long train
of carriages, wagons, carretas and all sorts
Of nondescript vehicles, gaily decorated with
flowers, ribbons and garlands-as are also
the horses, oxen and asses which draw them
which winds from the city along pictur-
esque roads to the summit of the mountain,
attended by great crowds of merry-makers
on foot, singing and dancing untir1ngly,
and bearing sticks which support pictures
of the Madonna.
In st. Petersburg, in 1875, I witnessed
what was perhaps the last observance of a
Whitsunti6e custom, which, though. once
highly popular, had long been gradually
dying out. It was a show of manageable
women and girls desirous of obtaining hus-
bands, and took place on Whit Sunday
afternoon in the "Summer Garden, place
of popular resort. The young women were
attended by their parents or some other
elderly relative, through, whom, il young
man were smitten with a maid, he con-
Quoted his negotiations for her hand.
1t is, of course, needless to say that this
usage was confined to the lower and middle
classes. FRANK FERN. :

movement which causes the hose pipe to
twist about so that the strength Of several
men is required to hold it in proper posie
ton. With these observations in mind, h
may then readily proceed to the explana-
tion of the spiral form assumed by the as
cending air. Taking bit of paper, let him
draw circle to show the space occupied by
the vent through which the fluid or gas es-
capes; then let him draw a number of lines
radiating from the center of that circle
which will represent the paths along which
the particles tend to meve as they come in
towards the central path which
THEY ARE TO FOLLOW.
Now, if every particle of air or water could
travel on perfectly straight lines, the move
ment might take place without any twist
ing of the current; but if the wind is little
stronger on one side of the column than the
other, or if in any other way a particle of
air is turned aside from its straight path, it
will then as it moves toward the center with
a constantly accelerating velocity press a
little on one side of the center of the column.
A column of this sort, be it the descending
stream of water in basin or the ascending
current of air in the atmosphere, is swayed
in its course with the utmost ease. A little
more pressure on one side than on the other
Will CduSc IL " IuTu bOWdTU Lu6 sue
where the pressure is greatest. AS soon as
it begins to turn, then all
the other particles of, air are di-
verted in the same direction from the normal
course, applying their pressure to accelerate
the speed of the column. The faster that
column whirls, the more energy every parti-
Gle applies to promote the spinning action.
Therefore the faster it spins the faster it is
made to spin, The process is an accumu-
lating one which may lead the whirling to
almost inconceivably great velocities. AL
though in the little sand whirI the rotary
motion is of no great effect, for at most these
tri1ing storms lift small objects or push the
straws aside, the process in the great whir1s
of tornadoes, which we are about to describe,
being carried out on far larger scale comes
to have great Importance with reference to
man.
THE AWFUL TORNADO.
Having studied the sand whirls the stu
dent may then proceed to consider the
methods of movement in the far greater
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-09

fact that they occur in seasons when the
surface of the earth is not warmed to high
temperature. Nevertheless, even when the
earth's surface has temperature of zero, the
difference between the heat of the air next
the ground and that at the height of five
miles may well be as much as 1000 F. Thus
it is likely that, even in winter, we have a
sufficient tendency Of the superficial air to
rise, as it does in an ordinary chimney, and
so to produce the cyclonic movement. The
I peculiar violence Of these storms of the
blizzard type is probably due to the wide
differences in the temperature in diverse
parts of the continent in the winter season.
VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE.
In the summer we rarely have variation
in the average daily temperature in the diff
ferent.pafts of the United States amounting
to as much as 300, while in the winter the
range between the northwestern region and
the Atlantic coast not infrequently amounts
to twice as much. The reader has already
seen that all our air movements depend on
differences of temperature, and he NAV read
lily imagine that in the season when the
local differences are greatest the energy of
the movements will be most considerable.
Moreover, in the winter season the tempera-
warmer than that of the land, so that the
air of that region tends upward, while that
of the interior of the continent being at
lower temperature is not equally affected.
The swift march Of the blizzard across the
continent and TO the eastward over the ocean
is accounted for, as is the movement of the
tornado, by the. eastward set of the upper
current of the counter trades.
The movements of the atmosphere are thus
in the main to be explained by the warmth
of the earth's surface, and the irregular dis
tribution of this heat in different regions,
together with the tendency of the ascending
air to assume the spiral motion. Although
the winds which are thus caused are fire.
quently harmful to life, the effect of the cir
culation is, on the. whole, most benefcent.
Were the air destitute of motion all the
stratum next the surface of the earth would
soon be rendered unfit for life by the proc
esses of life itself. It Is only BY the con-
slant stirring which the storms bring about,
that the materials of the atmosphere are
constantly mingled together, and so kept in
a condition to maintain the operations of
animals and plants. |

except size like the dust whirls. In place
of the ascending column Of width Of at
most of 10 or 20 feet as in the dust whirl, it
may have diameter of from /, 900 to 10, 600
teet.-Fig. 4. In place of draining away
the air over few acres of surface, it may
give upward passage to the heated atmOs-
phere from an area of ten square miles or
more. Owing to the greater diameter of the
column, and the greater distance to which
the air Journeys toward the path of up
ward escape the speed of the movement is
vastly enhanced, and its duration made uro-
portionately greater. In the first stages of
its movement
THE UPWARD RUSH
of the tornado commonly involves the air
at the height of some thousand feet above
the surface, but the ascending column speed
lily extends downward until it touches the
surface of the ground. Toward the spout
up which the air is streaming, the particles
of the atmosphere pour from distance of
miles with a constantly accelerating veloc-
ity. AS they whirl in toward the center
their speed becomes so great as to tear away
all movable objects from the surface of the
earth.-Fig. 8. The swift spinning of the
air causes it to fly away from the center of
the whirl just as in the basin the descend
ing water by its motion forms hollow cone
reaching downward into the orifce of the
vessel, so in the whirling of the air-spout is
a space almost empty of air extending up
ward from the ground. Into this Yacuity
any movable objects may be sucked and
lifted far above the surface of the earth,
until, by the irregular movement of the
columns, they are cast outward, and allowed
to fall upon the earth.
Among the most conspicuous features of
our tornadoes is the vast mass of whirling
cloud which forms high in the air about the
top of the ascending column. This tumult
of the clouds is produced in the main by
the rapid condensation of the vapor
in the air, which has been sucked
upward. Owing to its heat the air
next the surface retains its moisture
in the form of invisible vspor, much as
in the steam boiler the steam remains
transparent on account of the high temper.
ature to which it is exposed, so in the lower
heated atmosphere the moisture does not af-
feet the Transparency of the air. When,
however, the air ascends, expands, and
