hot, however.
In these northern ATTITUDES all
storms, including rain. hail. snow and
wind are caused by pairs OF baromet-
ers, each consisting OF a high and low
On this point there is no controversy
between metcorologists. but when the
cause of these high and low baromet-
ors In under consideration then serious
differences of opinion arise. All the
old school or orthodox" meteoroio-
gists claim that heat is the force that
organizes these low and high barom-
etersxSespecially of the former or storm
centcres. They claim that the sun
heats the atmosphere near the earth
and this heated air having n tendency
TO rise finds rift or weak place in
the Ovorhanging cooler atmosphere
through which it rushes to higher
attitudes, while the surrounded heated
air rushes into this center, bringing
together the moisture and clouds that
go to make up the storm center.
This is n beautiful theory, but ii can
not stand in thc presence of reason.
II Il were tue the storm mt rs would
originate where the atmosphere is
heated most and Therefore we would
look to the sandy plains OF Eastern
Colorado and the heated and almost
ef M
the places where our storm ccnters
originate, and where they would de-
velope thci- greatest force. But they
never originated there, and although
we should expect, from the heat
theory standpoint, that the storms
would have greatest force where the
earth Is bare and the sands hottest,
there is where our storms have least
force and tornadoes seldom ever occur.

demonstrate that all our storm Gen.

days and that neither heat nor cold
infiu nces them. Thoir periods are not

The storm cenlers causes the excess
i've heat instead OF the heat causing
the storm center. The excessive heat
does not occur in the storm center OF
the center OF the low barometer, but
outside and southeast OF them. The
wind does not blow from the heated
area TO the storm center. but from the
high barometer tn the low. and this
air from the high barometer Is never
heated but always cool. and gradually
