The Cause OF waterspouts.

A waterspout is a meteorological phe-
nomenon of peculiar character, which is
occasionally observed on land, but usu-
ally occurs at sea. It consists of cone
shaped pillar of condensed vapor, which
descends, with the apex downward, from
dense cloud and at sea attracts a
somewhat similar cone in a reversed
position from the surface Of the water.
The two may not inaptly be compared
to gigantic hourglass The cause of
this phenomenon is supposed to be the
gyratory movement Of the air with such
swiftness as to produce vacuum in the
axis Of rotation, and the contact of the
lower extremity of such an axis with
water would effect the elevation of a
column of the latter to a considerable
height. The most probable solution of
the phenomenon is that waterspouts
originate in adjacent strata of air of diff
ferent temperatures, running in oppo-
site directions in the upper regions of the
atmosphere. They condense the vapor
and give it whirling motion, 80 that it
descends tapering to the sea below and
causes the surface Of the water to ascend
in a pointed spiral till it joins that from
above.-Brooklyn Eagle.
