with the monster and have seen 1t toss
ing their residences about in midair call
it Il cyclone, aud cyclone 1t will be.
Scientifically the cyclone is the storm
that sweeps over the South Atlantic
Ocean. with diameter Of from lOO to
1000 miles.
The tornado travels In much smaller
form, but in ITS reduced dimensions 1t
has all the concentrated energy OF the
ocean storm. The diameter Of the tor
nado is seldom more than 100 yards ana
Frequently much less than that. 1t has
been known to travel straight along
country road for more than a mile,
wrecl;ing everything in its path, but
not injdring the fences ON either SIDE
The diameter of this tornado could not
have been more than ~ or ~ feet, but
its power was almost beyond belief.
But the curious freaks worked by the
cyclone of the Kansas variety command
more attention than its tremendous
force. On one occasion the roof OF an
eiyht-room house was lifted bodily, car
ried 200 yards. half way into a grove,
where it seemed impossible that 1t
could have passed between the trees,
and left lying Hat, but upside down, III
vacant spot just large enough to re-
ceive it. Occasionally the side of a
house is carried away and converted
into kindling wood, while the rest OF the
editice is quite unnjured.
In one instance, in Iowa. half double
house was shattered to bits. while the
other half and the hall were quite I'M
touched, even the carpet on the hall
floor remaining unsoiled, and the paper
on the wall showed neither spot nor
scratch.
In another. the porch Of a Kansas
house was cut away as neatly as though
with an AK, a queer contract being seen
in a third case, where the house was
destroyed and the porch left standing
intact.
In Nebraska the second story Of an
eight-room house was taken Off and
the first was left, so little shock being
given to the building by the violent re-
moval Of the upper half that the clocks
on the mantelpieces were not disturbed,
and continued to tick as usual.
A still more curious freak was played
by the wind in a Kansas dwelling. A
double house, with hall In the middle,
stood facing the direction from which
the cyclone was approaching. When
the storm was seen the residents took
refuge in their cave and listened to hear
the fall of their home. A terrible crash
was heard. and they, Of course. sup
posed that the house had gone. On
emerging they were surprised to see the
house standing as before, but were al
most para!yzed with astonlshment to
find the northeast wall of the dining
room. which was ON the opposite side
of the house from the direction the
storm came. had been blown out. the
furniture, tables. dishes and all other
contents had been carried Off and crush
ed to atoms. and ne other damage had
resulted to any part of the building.
The cyclone which devastated Sher-
man. Texas, stripped nearly all OF the
dead of clothing. and from the feet OF
every corpse the shoes had been
wrenched, This Is common trick OF
cyclones, but scientists cannot fathom
1t. In many instances the shoes disap-
pear, being either torn to fragments 80

The months Of April and May usually
cover the time when the cyclone has its
inning in the central valleys of the
country Tie records of recent years
show that at about the first of May the
cyclone season is at its height although
some of the frigltful storms have not
occurred until month later.
