one of the remarkable diving feats

WHAT ACLOUD BURST REALLY is
Result Is as If the Bottom Dropped
Out of Suspended Lake.


When we read in the newspapers
that "A "cloudburst" has occurred some
where and has resulted in great loss of
life and destruction of property we are
prone TO consider the term merely one
used for Il sudden and excessive rain
storm While of course. it would be
wrong to consider a cloud as Il great
bag or envelope filled with water, and
which has only to burst in order to de-
luge the earth beneath, there is really
such n thing as a "cloudburst" as dis
tin2uished from Il rainfall, however
heavy the latter may be. The New
York Herald gives a clear and interest
ing explanation of just what cloud
burst really is and a study of the
phenomenon will prove of interest, par
ticularly as it was a genuine cloud
burst which Il few days ago practical
ly wiped the town of IIeppner Oregon,
from the face of the earth and de-
stroyed some POO lives.
The "cloudburst" is always preceded
and caused by wlndStorm or small
cyclone, the air whirling in circle and
mt the same time moving along hori-
Zontally. AS the air whirls about in n
circle it forms Il sort Of cone with the
apex ut the top. This whirling motion
causes an thrush of air from all sides
at the base and these masses of air
quickly form a powerful and RAPIDLY
ascending current in the heart of 1he
. naScent tornado.
Now, II the atmosphere through
which this windstorm is passing is de-
void of moisture, there will lie no rain

ure in the air the ascending current in
the center of the tornado will natural
