WALLS AGAINST TORNAD0ES.
"A Scheme to Protect Great Cities
from TwisterS.
Forecaster Dunn's Opinion-He Says the
Walls Would Have to Be Almost
as High and Wide as Noun
tain Ranges.
TcoPrRIGHT. 1861

New York's weather forecaster Dunn,
whose study of tornado phenomena
has been close and con tinuous ever since
he began service with the weather buz
reau. smiled when the writer asked a
uumber of questions suggested by GER
tain newspaper statements made since
the big storm fell upon st. Louis and
made kindling wood and debris of so
many of that city's buildings and killed
so many of its citizens. The first ques-
ton related 70 the possibility of miti-
eating the force Of tornadoes by means
of artificial walls. II has been pointed
odt that not one OF the modern lofty
steel frame structures in the devastated
town were seriously damaged and fur
Their that the big buildings not only
stood the brunt OF the storm themselves
but shielded smaller and weaker build
ings that stood to their leeward. AS
suming this to be a fact il was sug-
eested as possibly practical 10 build

cities that should forever guarantee

words 10 wall modern cities as matter
OF protection against the weather as
oldtime towns were walled against hui
man foes.
1.-The idea IS ingenious" said Mr.. Dunn
''but it has no practical value. We do
not know to a certainty whether the
modern-built high structures would
withstand d tornadO's force or not, be-
cause 10 such structure has ever been
well tested. 1t Is quite true that no high
building in ST. Louis was destroyed or
even badly damaged, but it is also true
that none of these high buildings
CHANGED TO lie in the direct path of the
storm. 1t IS my opinion that the force
of such a tornado as that which struck
ST. Louis Is sufficient to level the strong
est and best-built Of modern structures.
Once formed, the tornado is powerful
enough to levei anything that could be

Is only when the disturbances sweep
over the very surface of the ground
that they concern Us.
''In the eastern part of the United
States nearly all tornado phenomena
are high above US, and this is due to the
great system of mountain ranges
known as the Alleghenies, which de-
feet the currents upward and force
them TO fight out their difference in the
upper atmosphere"
The next question had to do with the
failure of the weather bureau TO pre-
dict tornadoeS. If their causes and
nature are so well understood" il was
urged, at surely ought to be possible to
give some sort of warning of their APP
proach."
''Tornadoes cannot be predicted" was
the reply, because the dangerous cold
current is so often far above the reach
Of meteorological stations. If a warning
against tornadOes were to be sent out
upon the formation of every area Of low
barometer, there would be constant
worry and alarm among the people, and,

The next question was prompted by
recently printed assumption that lorna
does are nowadays more frequent and
more severe than formerly. 1t was
gravely suggested that by some mys-
terious natural law of compensation,
the tornado has lately become more de-
structive to offset mans increasing
knowledge of and power over disease
in other words that in the modern tor
nado the famous law of population as
laid down by Nautilus is being exem-
plified.
''Tornadoes are not of more frequent
occurrence now than formerly" was
Mr.. Dunn's reply. They are not of
modern origin, but quite as old as the
atmosphere itself. The increase of pop
ulauon, however, naturally increases
their danger, while teleCraphIc and
other news facilities bring them more
than ever to the worlds notice. Some
seem to believe them due in a measure

BIG CONVENTIONS AT WORK.
How They Originated, How Called
and How They Do Business.
Vivid Descriptions of Scenes In Great
Convention Halls-Excitement Like
That on a BattIeneld-oId
Times Compared
IcoprHrozr. 1851

The great national conventions which
are now held in the country every four
years are comparatively recent thing.
They were no part of the plan of the
founders of our government You
won't find any reference TO ITEM IN TIE
constitution. or in the history of the
early years of the country. When the
constitution was framed, everybody
supposed that the electors would do
what their name implies and really elect
the president, but it soon became evi-
dent that the people wanted 30 have a
hand in the presidential elections them
selves, and that the electors in each
state voted for such candidates as the
majority of the people of that state
favored.
The practice up to about 1882 was for
the candidate of each political party 10
be named by what was called the con-
gressional committee, composed of the
leading congressman of that party. But
although the congressman were elected
by the people, even this plan did not
prove direct enough. So in 1881 what
was then called the National Repub-
lican" party met by delegates in con-
sension held more than year IN ad-
vance OF the presidential election then
impending and recommended that a
national assembly Of young men
should be held The cry for the en-
trance of young men into politics is,
therefore, more than 60 years old. Both
these conventions were really nothing
more than big mass meetings.
The idea of Henry Clay's admirers
was promptly initiated William Henry
Harrison was nominated in the old way
in 1886, but three years later the con-
vention system was in fall swing, and
no presidential candidate since 1S4o has
been nominated in any other way than
by convention of delegates directly
chosen by the people.
Just how a political convention is
made up and just how it does its work
Is an interesting study. The member
ship of any convention in any year is
precisely double the total number of

between the Rocky and Allegheny
mountain chains, lies the largest level
area on earth. Upon the formation
of any large storm or low-pressure area
in this vast region the movements thai
tend to I'll up the partial vacua ara
enormous. In every case two currents
a hot one from the south and a cold
one from the north, meet and overlap
in the southeast quadrant of the storm
area. Now, if in this meeting the cold
current happens TO be above. the warm
current, and the difference in their
temperature is considerable, the con-
ditions are perfect for the forming OF
a tornado. We know that the efficiency
of coudensing steam engine depends
upon the difference in temperature in
the steam cylinder and condenser. and
that the work done depends upon the
resistance to be overcome. The same
principle applies to a tornado. The
greater the difference in temperature
between the two layers of air the fercer
the storm. 1t is not easy to form az
idea of the whole phenomena, and if il
could be made visible TO US we should
probably call it the grandest and most
awful of the savage expressions of ma
ture. Think cS huge mass of hot air
striving to penetrate an equal mass %
cold air, the great resistance causing
the lower layer to assume gyrating
motion and thus forming q vortex of in
credible velocity, which so penetrates
and undermines the upper layer that 1t
dous air avalanches until the tempera-
ture of the admixture is equalized and
quiet is restored. 1t is true that there
are constant meetings of cold and warm
currents of air without the production
of tornadoes. Wherever the warm cur
rent is above the cold the laws of gravi-
tation are satisfied and there is no dis
s5fen Two such layers of air change
places. Mr.. Dunn says a protection wall To-
be really effective would have to be placed
where it would prevent the formation Of

east of the locality TO be protected-as in
dictated in the picture map at 4. II the wall

The good faith OF the subconscious
ness, its readiness TO accept upon bare
assertion or upon the report of the mis-
led senses. the most ridiculous sugges'
tons, enables the hypnot;st toinspire tho
sensitive with ideas which amuse tha
unthinking. But there are TOO many
nnrealities in waking life, too many of
dayIight's seeming realities fit and
fade, too often towers crumble and de
lights become dust, for the conscious
ness to vaunt itself. 1t may be that the
body, in the face of life and death, is the
most unreal of ell and that the elu-

baby He could not speak. He could
not think. He gould barely walk, with
an infantile toddle, dragging his feet
on the floor He made known his phys
zeal needs by an inarticulate cry, adj
dressed to those about him, whom he
only recognized as vague shapes o,
kindness.
Whether by the knife or medicament
does not matter, a tiny foreign growth
that had pressed upon his brain was re-
moved; the organ resumed its proper
contour, and the mind began to grope
dimly for memory.
In frenzy of weary joy Case AS wife
threw herself upon the sick bed.
