Progress of the South.

The Tradesman of July l published
a statement showing the industrial
situation in the South as exhibited
by the number of new industries es.
tablished during the last three
months. 1t shows that during the
past quarter 1921 new industries
have been established. against 800 in
the previous quarter. There were
I'LL new enterprises begun during
the first six months o: 1899, against
1880 for the corresponding period of
the previous year, showing that the
South is going ahead at a more rapid
rate than ever before.
What is more significant. says the
Tradesnaa,s.i is the fact that the char.
acter of the industries is of more
substantial character. and Is on a
much better basis than in previous
years. The speculative fever has
been in a large measure reDressed,
and industries are now being estab.
lished more in consequence of actual
resources and legitimate enterprise
than before.
The most noticeable feature of the
past three months has been the or.
ganization of 81 new cotton and
wooden mills. against IS in the prev"
ious quarter. Georgia leads with ten
new mills. North Carolina following
with eight. Fifty.two new foundries
and machine shops were organized.
gain of seven over the previous quar-.
ter. Alabama leads in this particu.
lar industry, with nine new works,
Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky
following with seven each. Eighty.
two mining and Quarrying cOmpan-
les were organized. of which seven.
teen were in Kentucky, against sixty.
one in the previous quarter. The
number of railroad companies organ
lied shows a gain of almost one hun
dred per cent, the number for the
past quarter being 100 against 65 dur
ing the previous quarter. Texas and
Alabama lead in this respect with q
and 20 respectively. Two hundred
and seven woodworking establish.
ments were organized, against 100 in
the previous quarter. Other indus.
tries established in the last three
months were seven blast furnaces, 46
mills ne in South Caro!ina), eleven
potteries and three rolling mills.

A Valulb'e Tjmen;ecc.

Chief of Police Packard of Hartford,
Conn, carries watch that is indeed
novelty, as we'll as valuable time
piece. Without opening the watch,
the time of day or night to the minute
can be ascertained. BY pushing down
a spring on the outer edge of the case,
the hour is given by the striking of a
miniature gong, as are also the quarter
hours and minutes. If, in the night,
the owner wishes to know the time, it
is learned in very few seconds, and
is found ont in this way; II it is six
minutes to o'clock, one of three little
gongs will strike two; two gongs then
strike alternately three strokes, and
another gong strikes nine two hours,
three quarters and nine minutes, max
ing the exact time six minutes to 3.
The Chief said that eleven years ago
the watch would cost 1000, but at
the present time the watches are sold
Tor $3.50.

What a flnndhnrst Is,

The phenomena OF a clqudburst,
which can only occur In tornado or
whirlwind, are not generally under
stood, says the New York Herald. The
whirl In which It forms is not very
broad and shallow disk, but n tall,
columnar mass of rotating air, similar
spory rr the famous pillar-like dust
storm OF India is generated. While
this travelling aerial pillar, perhaps a
saw. hundred yards in diameter, is
-pf.l- gyrating, the centrifugal force,
Prof Ferrel has shown, acts as o
ralriar 60 prev ont-t ltr Acw Of external
air rom all sides into i, interior, ex-
scept and near the hasf oi the pillar.
Were friction with the earth retards
the gyrations nd slows the air to
rush in below and escape upward
through the tlue-like interior as power
full ascending currents.
The phenomenon, however, will not
be attended by terrific floods unless
the atmosphere is densely stored with
water vapor, as it was on Tuesday in
the Cayadutta Valley, and as it was
On May 81 in the Conemaugh Valley.
When such is the case, the violent as
cending currents suddenly lift the va
por-laden clouds several thousand feet
above the level at which they were pre-
eiously floating and hurl them aloft
into rarefied and cold regions of tho
atmosphere, where their vapor is in
stantly condensed into many tons OF
water. Could the water fall as fast as
condensed it would be comparatively
harmless. But the continuous uprush-
ing currents support this mass of wa
ter at high level, and as their own vast
volumes of vapor rising are condensed
they add to the water already accumu-
lated thousands of feet above the earth's
making, so to speak, lake

AS the whirlwind weakens or passes
from beneath this vast body of water,

Grated and upheld in the upper story
of the atmosphere, the aqueous mass,
no longer supported, drops with ever
increasing gravitational force to the
Earth. In severe cloud bursts the wa
ter does not fall as rain, but in sheets
and streams, sometimes unbroken for
hany seconds. The cloud burst of
1888 at Hollidaysburg, Pa, excavated
many holes in the ground, varying from
twenty-five to thirty feet in diameter,
and from three to six feet deep. In q
similar but milder storm, which visited
Boulogne last May, assures were cut
