The Way Cyclones Turn,

The question is often asked. Why do
cyclones. "whrlwinds" and tornadoes
all persist in the polar whirl from right
to left? Astronomical spectators have
supposed that all the planets once eA-
listed lis rings of thinly scattered matter
around the sun and that these rings
were annular segregations from a
vague, irregularly scattered mass that
turned one way in spiral courses. thus
determining the direction in which the
rings revo!ved. and all the rest from
this took the same course.
"But," you say, why did the nebula
revolVc at all:" II grow from chaos
and chaos presumably possessed an in
herent motion from right 10 left This
being the case. from that time to this

tornadoes have adhered to the original
habit

Origin OF the Word e.cuba.,


Cuba is the name by which the is
land was originally known to the Lu-
cayan Indians, who were with Colum-
bus when he discovered it One Of its
villages or cities was called by them
Cubanacan, and it is reported that
from the similarity Of sounds Colum-
bus, still supposing himself to be on
the coast Of Asia, imagined that this
must be q city of Kublai Khan. the
Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival Of the original
name for Cuba is q remarkable in
stance of persistence, as the island has
been baptized and rebaptized many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juana in honor
of Prince John, the son Of Ferdinand
and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death
it was called in his memory Fernan-
dina. Subsequently this name was
changed to Santiago, after st. James,
the patron saint of Spain. Still late.
it was named Ave Maria, in honor of
the Virgin Mary. But none Of these
names held, and the Indian name is
still preseryed.-Literary Era.
