CAUSE OF TORNADOES.
Result Of the Meeting of Head Winds
From North and South.

Result of the Meeting of Head Winds
From North and South.
From 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 cur
rents.
The extent of this country is equaled
by none on earth. Cold air being heav-
Ter to the square inch than warm air,
the cold air, when coming in contact
with warm current from the south, al
ways predonlinates, forcing the warm
air into the upper currents.
The cause of cyclones is the meeting
of head wind from the north with a
head wind from the south. They meet
like two vast armies of men.
The pressure at the point of meeting is
30 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 be-
cause 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 a circular reaction. Air being q
liquid does the same in passing either
upward or downward, hence the funnel
shaped spout of the cyclone center.
When two immense bodies of air COM
ing from opposite directions meet, the
only egress is upward and sideways, and
in passing upward it forms the funnel
the same as water passing out of q wash
bowl downward.
The theory that a cyclone forms a
vacuum is absurd. Withdraw air from
a glass jar with an air pump and feath-
er within the vacuum formed will drop
with the same velocity as lead, OF, 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 power Of cyclone is
caused first by the compression or
density of the air, and second by its We
locity. Combining the power of density
with that of velocity, which occurs at
the center or funnel, no power can re-
sistit. The feeling of suffocation or diff
Guilty in breathing when near the track
of cyclone is caused from the compress
sion of Indianapolis Tribune.

The clay of which the Tell Amarna
tablets are composed differed greatly In
different regions. DR.. Behold says: "In
color the tablets vary from light to q
dark dust tint and from flesh color to
dark brick red. The nature Of the clay
of which they are made sometimes indi-
Gates tho countries from which they
come. No. l. a draft of letter from
Amenophis III to Kallimmasin, is made
of ti' ly kneaded Nile mud. Others are
of the dark red clay which is met with
in the north of Syria. Five of Ribadda's
letters are written on tho yellow clay
which is common on the Syrian coast.
The tablets from Shubandi, Widya and
Shuardata contain fragments of flint"
OF tho shape of the tablet she s,
"The greater number are rectangu
and few are oval, and they diffe]
shape from any other cuneiform id
ments known to us. Some are fla1
both sides, some are convex on both 81
and some are pillow shaped. Com
the name given to such tablets by
Arabs, II ,;hadid or pillows"
The tablet, having been kneaded
shape, was inscribed while the clay
damp by the use of wooden style,
the diverse having been written the
let was supported by some means w
the back was in use. In the case of sc
cunoiform tablets, holes are found in
corners, which were made by pins
wood, on which they rested, so as to
vent the written surface from being OBJ
liberated while the reverse was being in
scribed. Eut these pinholes do not seem
to occur in the present collection.
Some Of the letters are divided into
paragraphs by ruled lines, which are,
however, not always truly horizontal
The royal letters, which are the most
carefully written, have well .haped SYM
bols in true horizontal lines, but many
OF the tablets from Syria seem to have
been hastily written and are often very
crooked. The care, however, that was
taken by the scribe is evidenced by the
corrections which he has introduced of
unfinished words, to which syllable or
more is added by insertions between the
lines, while in other cases words, or even
a whole line, have been erased by
smoothing cut the writing, other signs
having been substituted, or in some
cases the space has been left blank.
When, therefore, translators who have
found difficulty in understanding what
was written have supposed that the
fault lay with the carelessness of the
original scribe, we can only regard such
supposition as indicating the self suf-
fciency which is common fault among
certain class of modern scholars, who
are convinced that if there be any error
1t cannot be their own.-Edinburgh Re-

There was young girl in Racine,
Whose age was but just seventeen,
But the citizens said
She could make the best bread
For she shortened it with CoTToLENE."
A restaurant keeper named Green,
Has the biggest trade ever was seen,
For all know he makes
His pastry and cakes
With the lard substitute" CoTToLENE."
A famous society Queen,
Who practical cook long has been,
Says she's very well sure
There is nothing so pure
AS the shortening called " CoTToLENE."
The wives that are careful and keen,
Who like their food wholesome and clean,
Frying oysters or fish,
Eggs, or similar dish,
AS fat always use "CoTroLENE."
Now from these few verses you'll CLEAN,
The purport Of what the lines mean;
That for shortening pies,
And all pastry likewise,
There is nothing excels g" CoTToLENE."
