Makes a Distinction Between the Two
Great Phenomena.

Cnief moore, OF the weather Bureau
Makes a Distinction Between the Two
Great Phenomena.
Willis L. Moore, chief Of the Weather
Bureau, makes the following distinction
between the cyclone and the tornado:
The tornado is sudden outburst of
wind In an otherwise quiet, sultry atmos
pbere; It Is ushered In by loud, inde-
scribable roar, similar to a continuous
roll Of thunder; It's path ls very narrow
seldom more than 500 feet wide at
its greatest destruction It moves
generally from southwest to north
east. and rarely extends more than
twenty miles; It very often rises In
the air, to descend again at point a
few miles ahead; it Is always accom-
panied by thur srstormF, with often y
bright glow In the cloud; this cloud has
usually funnel SHAPE, which appears to
be whirllng, though some observers have
described Its appearance like that OF
huge ball rolling forward. A tornado
may be considered as the result OF an ex
treme development Of conditions which
otherwise produce thunderstorms
A cyclone, on the other hand, Is very
broad storm, oftentimes / 00O miles In
ulameter, and sometimes can Do followed
half around the world; the winds circu-
late about it from right to left, or tho
way one turns clock hands backward I'm
the Southern Hemisphere this motion is
reverssd) The air pressure always falls
as one approaches the center, where. al
ses, there is a portentous calm. with
clear sky visible At times. The cyclone
winds often Iise to hurricanco force, but
are not TO be compared with the extreme
violence Of the tornado, before which the
most solid structures are rSzad.
The French term trombs or tourbillo n
describes almost exactly the tornado,
which term was 6rst applied to severe
touGlls. with. funnel shaped clouds. ex

which, to this day, inspire the utmost
