ABOUT WHIRLWINDS.
CAUSES THAT PRODUCE AERIAL DISTURB
ANOES OF VARIOUS KINDS.
Zepbyrs Cyclones, Tornadoes, TyPhoons and Storm
Of Various Sorts-PillarS Of Sand and
Water Created by Wind-Sand
Storms and Desert WhiTls.
Washington Post.

Whirlwnds are OF all sizes-from q
few feet TO a thousand miles across.
When they are small the whole OF the
whrlwind may be seen at once. ana the
true character is apparent. When they
are large, for instance, 500 miles across
and covering an area equal to that Of
several OF the large States, the whirl
wind character is not visible TO single
observer.
To him the winds seems IN be straight
lined, but changing gradually in direc-
ton as the storm passes over. 1t is only
when the observations OF many persons,
scattered over the whole area, are put
on a map that the whirling character is
visible.
Whirlwnds may also be OF all degrees
Of intensity, from one producing gentle
breeze to one prod ucing heavy gales
which will founder ships or uproot the
heaviest trees.
The natural whirls IN the free air are
not of the nature Of eddies, such as oc-
cur at street corners In city on windy
day. These are due to the meeting Of
two currents Of air after passing an ob-
stacle; they are stationary, or nearly 80;
depend On the speed and direction Of
the wind, and rarely do any more harm
than that OF carrying of hat or turn
ing an umbrella inside out.
ATMOSPHERIC IRREGULARITIES.
The true type of the whirIs that make
storms are the dust-whirls over coun-
try road or in hay field in hot, still
summer afternoon.
T. will be interesting to give a brief
account of the various members OF this
family OF whirls in free air. TCmult-
uous or confused whirls, such as can be
seen in the smoke from factory chin
ney and which occasionally occurs in
nature, will be omitted; only the pure
whirls will be taken, though ii must be
remembered that where these are large
they will be somewhat confused at the
bottom, next the earth, where the OBJ
servers are stationed, because OF the
topography
First come the dust whirls, hay field
whirls, ploughed field whirls and many
other small, well-formed ones occurring
on hot afternoons. They are very
pretty and interesting, and can be seen
only when dust, light hay or something
Of the sort is carried I'D, or when the
whirls is carried over field Of timothy
or OF other grain, when the swaying OF
the stalks shows the shape Of the base.
Similar whirls from over the hot
coffee cup at the breakfast table and
over a kettle of hot water, and may be
seen when the temperature OF the room
permits the steam TO become visible.
The air next the ground in one place, OF
the hot LIQUID in the other, becomes hot
ter. and, therefore, lighter than the air
above. 1t Is q thin stratum and strives
to rise.
This It does for some treason q pro

usually last week or two. They vary
much in intensity, but typicaliy tney
are capped with cloud, bring RAIN or
snow with them, and have winds tnf
are stronger near the centre. ~
Occasionally they bring severe storm :,
but sometimes they make no show ex-
cept little cloud cap and the system OF
winds, in which case only regular
meteorological observations would de-
tect them.
The 'low," as described above, Is
phenomenon of temperate ATTITUDES.
When these whirls originate In the
tropics they have different path ana
much greater intensity; they are then
the hurricanes Of the North Atlantic
and the typhoons of the Indian Ocean
and China Sea.
They also occur In the South PACING
when they are also called typhoons.
The very destructive typhoon OF the
Samoan Islands three years ago Is
Illustration, as is also the hurrice
which PLAYED such havoc at Martiniq
last August.
These are the kindred OF the tornad~
and the waterspout. Some OF them are
gentle and small; some are gentle and
large. and Others are both large and
terrible.
Some can be made artifcially, others
are 10 be manufactured only In natures
workshops. The part Americans have
taken in the solving OF their enigmas
makes one OF the most creditable chap
tiers in the history Of American science.

RESCUE.

On the ninth day | became satisfied,
from certain indications, that her frame
was weakening fast, and that she could
not hold together much longer.
I dared not risk waiting by her
through another fresh gale, and as the
weather was all that could be desired,
l began my preparations for abandon
ment.
l stated the whole case, and dis
cussed our chances with Louisa that
night before l slept, for l had no Sc
crets from her, and always felt stronger
after a consultation with her.
She was calm, and even cheerful, sat
isfed that whatever course | had deci-
ded upon was the best one, and desir-
ing only to know what she could do TO
help and forward my plans. As for Mr..
Armstrong, he took no interest in the
matter one way or the other, but sub
mitted stoically TO the leadership OF his
loving daughter.
I was stirring early after good
nights sleep, and at once began opera
ting for getting the long boat afoat, as
the weather was favorable for my pur-
pose.
I succeeded even better than ! had
anticipated, for, as soon as had re-
leased the lashings, great rush Of
water ae-oss the deck came just in the
nick of time, lifting her from the chocks,
and I had only TO snub her movements
with the warp and guide her in the right
direction to go out OF the gangway
which I had cut for her.
then veered her aStern quickly, for
safety from harm and to prevent her
being thrown on deck, and set about
getting things into her that | thought
might be useful TO US en- our voyage,
But again | wavered and hestated
when | thought Of the prospect before
US, for the Scarborough, according TO
her reckoning, had made over 500 miles
in three days after leaving ST. John.
1t wasa perilous voyage, to be under
taken only as an alternative from still
greater peril.
now had my craft on the sea, and 1t
could do no harm to stay by the ship an
other night if the weather continued so
quiet, and the process OF breaking up
was so gradual.
| thought especially now mueh great
er were the chances of being seen and
rescued by remaining on the wreck,
compared with those in the smaller
craft, and thus it happened that we lay
down TO rest for another night on the
poop OF the Scarborough.
Mr.. Armttrong was even more quiet
than had seen him before, and there
was a deeper shade OF anxiety on the
lovely, patient face that hung over him,
though Louisa seemed unwilling TO ex-
press her feelings in words.
She did not think much lof pre-
sentiments as a general thing, but 'in
this case she could help not feeling that
we should be rescued-she knew not In
what way or how soon.
We both felt our hearts lightened oy
the interview, for the love of life was
strong in our young hearts, and we poth
loved life the more for having known
each other.

THE WRECK.

NV spirits rose with the morning sun,
and. reaSsuring my companions, l
climbed into the rigging, and mounted
10 the mizzentop-sail yard, which was
down upon the lifts. But as the other
two topmasts were broken off, and still
thrashing alongside. | had a fair view
over the Stumps, and could see all
around the horizon.
No sail was to be seen in any direc-
tioa, aud could do no good by hosting
signals, for if any vessel hove in sight,
the crippled condition Of our spars
would be quite sufficient to attract at
tention and advertise our distress.
The weather looked promising, and /
was glad enough Of the prospect of the
sea going down; for, though the ship
rode buoyantly, her rolling motion was
very violent, and had my fears as to
her holding together many days, while
the upward pressure Of the vast piles OF
timber must bring an immense strain to
bear under her decks.
I determined to get rid, II possible, Of
the wrecked hamper Of spars and can
vas, aud descending to the deck again l
looked up an ak which l knew had been
used during the night, aud soon found 1t
lying in the lee-scupperS.
Armed with this l went TO work de-
Hberately, all alone, for neither OF my
COMPANIONS could be of any assistance
TO II in such a job, and distributing
che slows Of my axe in the right places,
I succeeded, after two or three hours
labor. N getting rid of all the wreck,
and hal the satisfaction Of seeing il
float away clear of the ship.
I now had a chance to examine the
condition Of the long boat and found
one OF her gunwales broken by some OF
the fallen spars, but otherwise it was 10

y ar IL was useless to waste time in trying
N..le the pumps or sounding the we'll, Tor we
.-,55 knew that the voyage was ended, so Tar
'''NN' as the ship was concerned.
The Scarborough, being q small snip,
carried only ten seamen before the mast,

Liver TO bear more than four persons, while
u VI the quarterboat, much longer and bet
40 ter ID sea way, would take ten or even
0O"' a dozen with safety.
Luckily, both these boats being on
l1' los the ofTside when the ce-iSland raked Us,
ou , anu had escaped unbroken, and we went TO
OiICeI work with a kind OF orderly disorder to
'o' get them lowered into the sea, while
anu 4 some were collecting food and water, or
Go TINS which. however, we could not take
'ase VI much without overlooking the boats.

Next, sand andesert whirls. These
are like the preceng, only larger, be-
cause formed on anger field and under
more favorable ,cumstances. They
occur in arid regns In hot weather.
They may be anylere from a rod TO
several rods in diarter and from 20 to
1000 feet high.
They are sometes compound,
score or more of sms whirls forming a
whirling circle arouI common CEN
ter. They are very ,mmon in India,
where they have receed a compliment
of book devoted to tim. They some
times carry up so hch sand in the
Sarah and Arabia as tqverwhelm those
whom the sand is let fl upon.
The most striking ee | have ever
seen was in the Mdalena Valley,
across the notwithstanding from
Socorro, in New Mexico There, during
a hot day In summer, ey necessarily
form at the head of the alley in long,
slender, vertical colum perhaps 600
feet high, and they travtdown the val
ley toward the little Willie Of Magda-
lena in the bottom OF th valley, over
which they sometimes bst, bringing
the inhabitants little pfS OF con-
trary winds and a showerl fine dust.
Then comes in a group stationary
whirlS OF the same generalharacter as
the preceding, but tied own to one
point. Such are the whirls'hich some
times form over volcanoe rendered
visible by smoke and ash anthe whirl-
winds that sometimes borrower con-
lagrations. The latter ca often be
seen when large and comEct fire is
made in a space which is fairlyree from
distractions.
So far the whirls mentionedhave de-
pended on heat alone. They al in some
sort pure heat engines, and lave no
perpetuating power after theheat is
withdrawn. They are thereforlimited
to the hot part Of the day, or, lease OF
volcanoes and fires, to the time he heat
lasts.

MOISTURE IN THE AIR.

MOlSlbhE IN IHE AIM
While the members in this amilY |
that follow another element isintro- |
duced, namely, the vapor of waite, and |
they are not heat engines. The MIRO |
duction OF the idea Of the importace Of |
the vapor Of water in meteorological herY |
was due TO another American, Jams p.
Espy, Pennsylvania, who publ'hedH
PHILOSOPHY of Storms" in 1s4l. Hhusi
the two fundamental ideas in the nOd1
ern theory Of storm were introduced byl
two Amercans-the rotating ideas by
Redfeid and the vapor OF water, or
steam, idea by Espy.
The vapor of water makes the storm
self perpetuating, and works in this
way: 1t takes heat TO make vapor, and
when the vapor is condensed the heats
given back. Cold Coudenses the vapor,
and the condensation Of the vapor
warns the air. Now, the air contains
always more or less invisible vapor OF
water or moisture, and this is the most
abundant near the ground. Suppose a
mass of air rises; it cools by expansion
as it asCends.
The cooling condenses some OF the
vapor; the air is made warmer than It's
surrounding, and il again rises. More
moisture is condensed; more heat given
up; the air is again warmed; 1t again
rises, and so on until this source Of heat
is used up. With plenty OF vapor pres
ent the air rises TO greater height than
when the air is dry-and not only that,
the air is drawn in at the sides TO re-
place the rising air.
This rises, condenses It's moisture,
rises again, and so on. And thus Is
formed a regular vortex, which Is self
perpetuating so long as moist air ponrs
in from below. These whirls are, so TO
speak, half brothers OF the preceding.
They have a mother (steam), OF better
constitution, and have, consequently, a
greater expectation Of life.
FORMATION OF DESTRUCTIVE STORMS.
The first of these is what is called a
general storm" or Glow" or ''low
area" or AREA Of depression" and
what meteorolog would like TO call
cyclone" but the public insist on APP
plying that name TO tornadoes. The
low" is curiously shaped VORTEX, a
thin disk Of air, perhaps 500 niles
across and mil g or two thick, in which
the air is pouring in on the lower sur
face and rising around the centre, and
pouring 1t aleng the upper surface.
The gro und plan can be seen on al
most any weather map. Lows are perl

THE FOURTH AT BRENHAm,
General Celebration by Firemen, Militia
and the Public General.


Special to The Statesu an.
BRENNAN, Tex, July 5.-The Glor-
ious Fourth was celebrated here in
great shape. AS general thing
Brennan has heretofore exhibited
very littl3 enthusiasm over the ma
MONS birthday-but this time she
has made amends. The celebration
was under the auspices of the military
companies and the military band.
Cannonading at sunrise woke the
people from their slumbers- whistles
and bells chimed in, People began to
gather on the streets at s O'Clock and
We're entertained by bands playing
national airs. A procession was form
ed at 10 o'clock and marched
to Firemens' park. On reach
ing the grounds there were
military drills by the Brennan
Light Guard and field artillery. Med
ais were awarded to the best drilled
man in each company. Captain F..
n
Hutchins of the Houston Light Guard,
acted as judges of the infantry drill
and the gold medal was awarded to
Sergeant Hugh G. Robertson. Major
A Harrison and Lieutenant HI. Zchap-
pell and Ben Schmidt judged the ar
tillery drill and awarded the medal
to l.. f. Grossmuck. The medals
were donated to the management by
Joseph Eckart & Son and were pre-
sented to the winners by Hen. Harry
Haynes in neat speech.
The Declaration of Independence
was read by Judge Lafayette Kirk.
AT l o'clock dinner was
announced fine barbecue; the
meats were cooked right to a turn,
and 1900 or 1900 people were fed. AT
ter dinner came base ball, match
game between the second nine of
Brenham and Independence, won by
Brenham by a score of 13 to 7, and a
match game between the Santa Fe
nine of Galveston and the first nine
of BRENNAN, won by the santa Fe's,
score 10 to 6. Lawn tennis, children's
games, wster display by Mechanics
Engine company, children's dance,
etc.; at p. m. sham battle, well ar
ranged and carried out, with consid-
rable noise and enthusiasm. The
day ended with grand ball on the
pavilion.
The ladies' auxiliary to the ceme-
terry association met this afternoon
and perfected organization. Their OBJ
ject is the beautifying of the different
cemeteries, and this is worty pur-
pose which should be encouraged.
The colored people had an excursion
to Galveton yesterday. Fifty-three
