The Cause of Cyclones.

The great devastation caused by cy-
clones in many parts of the United States
has aroused anew discussion as to the
cause of the terrific wind storms. The
Minneapolis Tribune prints an interest
ing interview with E. D. Titus of that
city, whose long experience as a tele-
graph manager has given his opinion
much weight. Mr.. Titus says
'sFrom the Gulf of Mexico to the North
Pole and from the lakes to the Rocky
Mountains is vast extent Of country
crossed by no mountain chains to inter
cept or retard the velocity of air current.
The extent of this country is equalled by
uone on earth. Cold air being heavier
to the square inch than warm air, the
cold air, when coming in contact with a
warm current from the South, always
predominates, forcing the warm air into
the upper currents.
'The cause of cyclones is the meeting
of head wind from the north with
head wind from the south. They meet
like two vast armies of men. The pres
sure at the point of meeting is so great
that the air, by compression, becomes
heavier to the square inch than wood or
the human body, hence either one will
float in the same manner that wood will
float in water-it floats because it is
lighter to the square inch than water.
Place water in an ordinary wash bowl
and remove the plug and it will be OBJ
served that in passing out the water
forms circular reaction. Air being a
LIQUID does the same in passing either
upwards or downwards; hence the fun
nel-shape spout of the cyclone centre.
When two immense bodies of air coming
from opposite directions meet, the only
egress is upwards and sideways, and in
passing upwards it forms the funnel the
same as water passing out of wash
bowl downwards. The theory that a
cyclone forms vacuum is absurd. With
draw air from a glass jar with an air
pump, and feather within the vacuum
formed will drop with the same velocity
as lead, or, on the other hand. YOU can
compress air until it is heavier to the
square inch than wood, in which case
wood will float in the air. The lifting
mower of a cyclone is caused, first. by
the compression or density of the air,
and, second, by it's velocity. Combining
the power of density with that of veloci-
tv. which occurs at the centre or funnel.
no power can resist it. The feeling Of
suffocation or difficulty in breathing
when near the track Of "a cyclone Is
caused from the compression Of air.

A BIG STEEL YACHT
To BE Built by Bath Iron Works for
Millionaire
Especial to the Press.J

Especial to the Press.]
Bath, August 1.-For some time there
have been rumors of another contract to
be secured by the Bath Iron Works. To
day the PRESS correspondent was In
formed by Superintendent Hanscom that
the contract had been signed. The new
vessel is neither a government OF mer-
camille craft, being instead handsome
steel yacht. All the designs were made
here at the works, the ability of her con-
tractors having been established by a
long series of tests in the past. Especial
ly is this true in the case of Mr.. Chas. Il.
Hyde. who will have charge OF the de-
signs for her engines.
Although yacht she is not by any
means a toy. She is larger than either
the Machias or Castine, being 230 feet in
length over all, 20S feet in length at
water line and 80 feet beam. The
cruisers are 200 feet over all.
Her prospective owner is w. A. Slater
of Norwich, Conn. a millionaire mill
owner, and cousin of j. W. Slater, the
owner of the Sycamore. She will be
deliberately finished and her furnishings
will be sumptous and elegant. Al
though her contract speed is to
be only Is knots, her builders say that
she will be capable of speed of 10
knots per hour. She is to be turned ov-
er to her owner June /, 1894.
