FORMATION OF CYCLONES.
Inception of the Twistsrs That Deal Do
struction and Death

To get an idea of cyclones forma-
ton imagine large circular pan or
tub with quite a large hole in the mid
die OF the bottom. With this hole
plugged, fill the vessel with water, then
draw out the plug and watch. There
is first a rush of water from all direc-
lions toward the hole and turbulent
effort TO get through. Then the water
surface above begins to sink and swirl.
the particles gradually circling around
and around, and rushing, ever faster,
toward the center. At last there is ac-
tually hollow space through the CEN
ter, around which all the water in the
tub is whirling, sluggishly near the
rim, but with more and more violent
rapidly toward the middle, until II
rushes downward through the bottom.
Now, if that water were air you would
be watching a little cyclone turned up
side down, for the air rushes upward
instead OF downward.
In the cradle of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and
the water grow hotter and hotter be-
cause of the longer days than nights.
a layer of air, hot, light and full of
vapor, is for a time held down by dens-
er air above it. Restless expanding,
tumultuous, it moves about like beast
at bay, until a thinner place in the air
above is found. Then up it madly
rushes and into the vacuum left be-
hind the lower atmosphere hastens
from all directions, pushing and twist
ing and pouring upward until it has
fallen into a regular spinning around
a common center. The cyclone, once
formed, rushes away from the tropics
toward the pole, and begins its career
OF destruction, bruising, wrecking and
sinking the luckless ships which hap
pen TO be in its path. More and more
OF the surrounding atmosphere is
drawn into the whirl, until the storm
often covers an area nearly 1000 miles
in diameter. Sometimes it filings itself
upon our Atlantic coast and tears
fercely through the forests, fields and
cities Then again it sweeps away
across the broad ocean and dashes it.
self upon the coasts of Europe Once
in a while it so adroitly avoids the
land that We never know it has passed
until ships come in torn and broken.
