TROPICAL CYCLONES.
The Eccentric Tricks of the West
Indian Hurricanes.
From The United Service.


From the United Service.
To state briefly a well-known fact, West
Indian hurricanes originate anywhere
within the belt of latitude from TO- to 250
N, sometimes as far east as the coast of
Africa, sometimes as far west as the Gulf
of Mexico. They then, as rule, move
westward, northwestward, northward and
Fl ally northeaStward-tha is. the entire
storm system has a motion of translation
along curved track whose shape is a great
paraboa, concave to the east. But the
all-im ortant question for navigator to
decide is, when he encounters one of these
gigantic tornado-like whirlwinds, in what
direction is it moving, and when is its track
liable to recurve?
To emphasize and make clear the impor.
lance Of this question, let US imagine the
situation in the United States If lrnadoes
formed and moved under somewhat similar
conditions. Suppose, for example, that at
any time during he summer months lorna
does of great violence were liable to form
somewhere to the sou hwar d of North Caro-
INA and tennessee, and move westward.
north westward, northward, and finally
northeastward; if one were suddenly re-
ported to have formed near Savannah.
Ca, what a vitality important question
1t would be to know whether it
ives ward a d northwe tward and recurve
as far west as Denver Co.., beforeits track
| turued toward northeast; or if, instead, it
were almost sure to recurve be'ore it
| reached Alabama. even, and cut destruc-
tive swath through the forests, field will
ages and cities of the Carolinas, Virginia
and Maryland! In the former ca>e. the
entire population east of the Alleghanies
need have no fear whatever of any personal
danger in the latter, the people of the great
Missis ippi valley, from the Rockies to the
| Appalacnians and from the gulf to the
| great lakes, could feel the same sense of
absolute security.
Still more important is such knowledge
to tho navigator, for it may enable him to
save, not only the lives entrusted to his
care, but the vessel and cargo as we'll, by
| taking timely action to avoid the track OF
tue hurricane. Now, the fact that hurri-
canes recurve in different ATTITUDES, accord
ing to the time of the year, has been vari-
ously stated by various writers, but know
OF no one whose statements on the subject
are worth ialf as much as those of Padre
Vines; his rule is that in June land Oc-
tober1 the tracks recurve in about latitude
90 to % n. in July land September 81
to 80 N; aud in August, 80 to So N.

with the wealth OF lovely flowers that were
heaped upon the stage, attssted TIE admi a

and third acts she sang The Last Rose of
Summer and Down Upon the S'wanee

Miss Booths Aurora was finely rendered.

$50 to s'2 per month. The pensioner in this
case has been receiving n pension Of ssc
pcr month for what is known rs Perigof's
aInputation of both feet This amputntion
is the removal of the entire foot with the
exception of tho heel bone and integuments
Of the heel, which are brought forward to
cover the ankle joint. The case was pre-
scnted 10 the Commissioner to day, and he
held legal distinction between the loss Of
90 much of the fcot rs was experienced in
this case and tho total loss Of feet WAS u
mere technical difference. and that the

Contested Claims in Oklahoma.

WASHINGTON, April 25.- Commits
sioncr Stockslagcr of the General Land Of
fee to-day said that from present indica-
tons the contests over land claims in Okla
homa would ultimately involve nearly
every quarter section of land in that terri
tory. This being the case he thought tho
department would make the Oklahoma con-
test cases separate class and dispose Of
them at once. Otherwise, in tho ordinary
course Of business, IL would likely DO cigh
teen months or two years before they could
be reached. Contests in which abandonment
il charged could not be passed upon until
after the expiration of ak months, as the
law docs not recognize separation Of a
claim for shorter period than six months
abandonment, but cascs in which fraud or
violation of law or the Presidents procla-
nation of entry into tho territory prior to
April -, could be tried and disposed Of at
once.
