A SHORT FIERCE STORM.
Peculiar Atmospheric Condition Pre-
ceaed Its Esurating Forth.

NEW YORK, May &C. 1Ss6.-When the
earliest risers got up this morning the
sky was overcast with rapidly scudding
clouds. In singular contrast to the ami
nation overhead there was little or no
wind below Everything was still. Only
an occasional gust set the leaves of the
trees trembling and stirred a cloud OF
dust from the dry streets. The clouds
rapidly banked on the western horizon.
Long arms of nlurkey gray stretched
out from the eastern bank, and, catching
the scudding banks, gradually widened,
extended and compacted. The sky was
completely overcast by O'Clock, and the
heavy masses seemed to descend until
only a short distance off they seemed to
touch the ground. The wind began to
blow from the southeast-irst in violent
gusts, then steadily
Though the whole earth seemed enve!-
oped in the darkness of early night, a
strange. livid light lent weird effect
TO the scene. People hurried through
the streets for shelter with nervous en-
erav.
Those who had to be out huddIed to-
the elevated stations and watched the
gathering of the Storm. 1t burst with the
fury Of the sudden discharge OF 9 pattery
Of artillery just after eight O'Clock. A
few scattering drops were swiftly followed
by torrents.
Those who hadn't sought shelter were
speedily dreYohed and the streets were
Speedily transformed into torrents. The
storm continued for half an hour Then it
stopped almost as suddenly as it had COM
menced leaving the streets clean and the
air fine and fresh.
The storm was not part of one Of the
Western tornadoes, nor was it even re-
rnotelys connected with Them. 1t was born
of local conGfit sens-increased humidity
and rising temperature which, combined
produced s3lidai1cation and then precipi-
tation. This is not a country of tornadoes.

preached that class of meteorological
phenomena occurred last July. when con-
