assessment levied by the local Commissioners be

MEASURING CLOUD FELOCITIES.
" A EDDY SAYS THUNDERsTORMs HAVE A
SLIGHT ROTARY MOTION


SLIGHT ROTARY MOTION
Bayonne. y J., July 26.-Wnham A Eddy last
night made hfty-eight measurements OF the cloud
velocities OF TWO thunderstorms and found that
the velocity at a heifht OF three-quarters OF a
mile was than double that OF the velocity
one hour in advance OF the storm During the
first storm the cloud motion at the zenith shifted
from wes- to southwest. and 10 the south toward
the close of the storm. indicating a circular in
draught OF air, proving that thunderstOrms have
a slight rotary motion like that OF a cyclone
hurricane but in this case much milder- With
the approach Of the second storm the clouds again
began to move from the west The rain too
heavy and the darkness too great trace the
cycIonic motion OF the second storm The cloud
velocftIes OF the second were the highest
vet measured here. The mathematical formula
established az the Blue HIH Observatory has not
vet been applied the data, but Mr.. Eddy believes
the velocity Of the wind aloft last night will prove
TO be about eighty miles hour
The cirrus clouds at the six mile level had been
moving from the northwest with high velocity
TUESDAY but Wednesday their speed declined
more than half indicating that they had accom-
pIished their mission Of filing IN the heated region
OF the Atlantic Coast with slightly cooler air. Nr
Eddy saws that the high cloud velOcitisS OF the
storm last night indicate the displacement OF
heated area by a volume OF slightly cooler air.
