The Result of WhIrlwinds In the Atmos-
Dhere Far Above the Earth.
The fact that hail is formed at an
indefinite but, in most cases, great
height above the surface of the
earth, aud that il is commonly pre-
cipitated when storms are raging.
mas prevented any direct observation
OF the process OF freezing the vapor
OF the atmosphere into ice pellets or
large masses, and what has been de-
cided regarding the phenomena of
hailstorms is almost wholly tine work
OF theory and logic. Nevertheless,
some points a-e pretty clearly estab-
lished.
In the first place, hail is the re-
suit, as a rule, Of whirling or tor
nado-like storms. There may be no
whirling on the surface OF the earth.
but. according to the Cleveland
Leader. il seems certain in the higher
regions of the air, where hail is
formed, there is always an atmos-
pheric disturbance resembling what
is commonly called a cyclone when
IL sweeps the ground A curious
indication OF the soundness of this
conclusion was to be noted recently.
when the storm which wrought
such havoc with skylights had
passed by. Out over the lake
there was a great mass Of cloud.
/ very high and dark. which had the
form OF an oval race track OF enor-
nous proportions II might easily
have been fifty miles in length and
two thirds that distance in width
The formation of the cloud mass
was noticeably such as might have
resulted from the violent whirling
around a moving center of the whole
bulk of cloud vapor The appear

harmony with the accepted theory
OF the formation Of hail 1t is be.
