Western "cloudbur,t,.p

Neip York Herald.
The fatal "cloudbursts" reported in
the West revive the memory Of the dis
astrous rainswhich overwhelmed Johns
town. While no severe cyclone has
passed over the western States this
week the hot air.currents moving north
ward from the Gull OF Mexico have
transported vast volumes OF tropical
vapor into the interior OF the country,
and averymoderate degree of condensa-
ton will consequently, account for ex-
ceedingly heavy rainfalls.
The theory that "cloudbursts" are
due to ascending currents OF warm,
moist air. shot up to great distances in
the atmosphere, has not been well sus.
tanned BY the phenomena reported this
week. The force OF gyration in the re-
cent western storms has been generally
too small to explain any violent up
rushes OF vnpor laden air. The heavy
condensation has apparently been
chiefly due to the expansion and chill
ing OF Gulf vapor at low levels, where
the trade-wind currents diverted north
ward along the Mississippi Valley, have
deposited it, in the cool cores OF feeble
cyclonic disturbances.
Even when there has been no extern.
sive whirlwind, and sometimes when
the barometer is quito steady, the nc.
emulation of moisture in the central
valleys is SO great that very slight
cooling snfIices to prccipitate flood
rains. For this reason the leaden
clouds, however quiet they may seem,
should be closely watched in localities
where torenrial showers may endanger
life.
