NO Hope OF RELIEF.
Farmer Dunn Says There Will
Be a Warm Wave Tomor-
row With No Showers.

NEW YORK, July %, 1S96-Local Fore
cast Officer Dunn, clad in a linen duster
up on top of the Metropolitan Life In
suranee Building, watched the mercury
go up this morning from IS degrees at
eight O'clock to 78 degrees at ten O'Clock,
and then announced that today might
be a record breaker
Looking back over the heat records it
was found that the hottest July 20 in the
history Of the Weather Bureau was In
1892 when the mercury ran up to Sc de-
grees. Mr.. Dunn first noted temperatures
this morning at various points over the.
United States. from Lander, Wyo, where
the temperature was 45, to Charleston.
S. G., where the mercury stood at 81. and
then figured that hot wave was making
for this city, and that things ought to
be sizzling here by this afternoon.
OF course he remarked .sthere IS a
chance that strong wind may blow up
and abate the humidity, which at eight
O'clock today registered SO per cent. and
then it would not be so oppressively hot
tor without humidity heat in this city
is quite bearable
1T IS hot all over this country today.
and we may congratulate ourselves here
that there is an eight-niie breeze blow
ing.
.over in Philadelphia they were swel-
'tering this morning under a Temperature
OF S2 degrees. 1t viii be worse there this
afternoon. 1t was ? degrees hotter in
Philadelphia than it was in New Orleans
this morning.
There is no chance of showers today
in this locality, and the only thing to do
is to grin and bear it. Tomorrow unless
my calculations are upset. will be hotter
than today. But the indications are that
within twenty-four hours thunder show

T0RNAD0Es AND CYCLONES.
Ahese Interesting Phenomena Ac.
CuraieIY Dafined

Mr. Willis L. Moore, Chief of Weather
bureau, furnishes the following Interest,"
lhs deInitlons of tornadoes and cyclones
W llch h. says are phenomena entirely dis
similar in their manifestations The terms
are now generally used enormously by the
press.
The tornado is sudden outburst of
wind in an otherwise quiet. slbtrv afmos-
phere; it is ushered in by a loud jnde-
scribable roar. similar to a continuous
roll OF thunder; its path is very narrow
seldom more than 500 feet wide at great
est destruction; It moves. generally, from
southwest TO northeast and rarely ex-
tends more than twenty miles; 1t very of
ten rises in the air, to descend again at A.
point few miles ahead; it Is always ac-
companied by thunderstorms, with often
bright glow in the cloud; this cloud has
usually funnel shape, which appears to
be Whirling, though some observers have
described its appearance like that of a
huge ball rolling forward. A tornado may
be considered as the result of an extreme
development of conditions which other
wise produce thunderstorns
A cyclone, ON the other hand is a very
broad storm, OftentilneS 600 miles in di-
ameter, and sometimes can be followed
half around the world: the winds circlI-
late about it from right to left. or the
way one turns clock hands backward lin
the southern hemisphere this motion is
reversed). The air pressure always falls
as one approaches the CENTRE where. al
clear sky visible at times. The cyclone
winds often rise to hurricane force, but
are not to be compared with the extreme
violence of the tornado, before which the
most solid structures are razed
The French term tronfbe or tourbillon
describes almost exactly the tornado
which term was first applied to severe
squalls, with funnel-shaped clouds, expe-
which. to this day, inspire the utmost
fear in the minds of the natives
