THE TORNADO TWIST
A Feature Upon Which Weather Burean.
Are Mixed Up.

Feature Upon Which Weather Bureaus
Are Mixed Up.
The tornado and the cause Of its formation
seem to be less perfectly understood than
even the ever-mystehous electricity. That a
tornado has q violent spiral motion and a dis
tinct ascending motion is well established.
The rapid rotary motion tends to form a
vacuum in the center Of the funnel-shaped
volume, and this sucking force brings about
devastation. When a tornado surrounds a
house the air inside Of it forces the walls
asunder instantly.
But the inception Of a tornado and the
causes which lead up to 1t have not yet been
discovered. The scientists tell US that the air
rushes in to take Its place, the wind hits
against a hill, Is changed In its course and
goes cavorting down the valley, and that
makes q tornado. But what gives it the twist?
And there no mountains in the Mississippi
valley, but cyclones form there. Weather
bureaus with all their costly, delicate instru-
ments, have never yet satisfactorily explained
what gives the tornado its twist. The world
is looking for man who can discover the
tornado in its native lair and definitely define,
distinguish and describe 1t. All this for the
benefit Of our neighbors Of the East. for the
tornado never visits California.-San Jose

Opinions Of congressman on the Adjourn.
ment Of the Recent Silver
Commission.
The adjournment OF the Berlin silver COM
mission without making definite recommend
alton has been the subject Of more or less COM
ment among Senators and members who take
an interest in the silver question since this
result was announced. The news Is some
what of disappointment to those who had
been hopeful that the result Of the commits
sion would prove the prelude to an interna-
tional conference, which should proceed
without the cooperation Of Great Britain,
but the advocates Of an independent financial
policy for this country are not greatly disaD-
announcement from Berlin, Senator Teller
said that he regretted the fact that no rec
ommendatiop favorable to silver had been
made.
"Outside OF the educating effect Of the pub
hcation OF the proceedings" he said, II don't
think that the work Of the commission will
have any effect unless 1t be to increase the
conviction, which Is already growing in this
country, that the United States will have to
take this question in hand and act inde-
pendently OF other nations"
The silver leaders In the House say that the
adjournment Of the Berlin conference without
definite results is another evidence that the
United States must execute her own financial
policy without waiting for foreign nations.
Some OF the Republican leaders OF the House,
who have recently become identified with the
restoration Of the silver idea, express regret
that more was not accomplished at Berlin.
Representative Bryan, the lieutenant OF
Mr.. Bland, eaid: "As long as We wait for
Germany and England nothing will be done
toward restoring silver, but as soon as we
recognize that the interests Of our people are
too important to be submitted to the wishes
of foreign countries and act ourselves, the
sooner will silver be restored to its former
place on equality with gold and the sooner
will prosperity return to our industries"

CHICAGO, June 12.-Four hundred and fifty
delegates were in their seats when the first
quadrennial convention of the American Rail-
way Union was called to order to-day by
President Eugene v. Debs. Vice President
Howard opened the proceedings with brief
address, reviewing the success OF the organi-
cation from the start.
He said convention Of this kind had never
been held in America before under a banner
with one object. "We are bound to succeed.
We are to-day gaining members at the rate Of
1000 per day."
Mr.. Howard was followed by President
Debs. whose speech was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the delegates. He attacked the
Carnegies, Frick, and Pullman, charging
them with hypocrisy and pharlsaical fraud.

One feature that renders the black bass fish

the existence Of the seventeen-year locust.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

1t is conceded on all hands that the inter-
state commerce law has come to stay, that
transportation rates have been generally more
satisfactory under that law, and that while
the carrying companies have sometimes been

some eases, on an average it has been satis-

is capable Of Improvement.
