A Common Duty.

Every man, woman and child in the
united States is interested in the ques-
ton of improved highways. The failure
OF hundred years of local systems has
shown that the country can never have
system of roads except by the aid and
cooperation of the general government.
Bills were introduced in the last two
congresses providing for this very thing
the original bill in the house of repre-
sentatives by Hon. w. P. Brownlow of
Tennessee, followed by similar bill in
the senate by Hon. A. G. Latimer of
South Carolina; the first republican
and the latter democrat. The Brown
low-Latimer bills will be introduced
again this coming winter, and the
strongest effort will be made to enact
them into law. The friends of good
roads have duty to perform Just here
and now, and we would address this not
alone to the farmer, but to the mer-
chant, manufacturer, lawyer, doctor
mechanic and all other citizens. not
emitting the minister. Use your in
fluence with your senator and repre-
sentative. This is the only way to get
this national legislation. Write them
personal letters. Where you can. talk
to them. Let them understand that YOU
know what you want. You must con-
vince them by overwhelming demand
just as the dairy interests convinced
them in behalf of the pure butter law,
just as every interest that secures de-
sired legislation convinces them. Every
argument is in favor of national aid 10
good roads. The question of consti.
nationality has been settled. The cues
tlon OF necessity has never been disput.
ed. The existence of reciprocal obliga.
tlon between the government and the
people has never been an open one
The government belongs to the people
The money that gets into the treasury
belongs to the people. The time has
come for the people to make concerted
demand for the return to them of some
part of that which is their own. Good
roads would do more for the country
than any other one thing that can be
named. 1t is fact of history that nc
country ever built good roads without
the aid Of the general government. Nc
country ever will, because the local
property simply can't afford it, and
never in all the history Of the world has
it been able to except in the centers OF
wealth. If the people want good roads
they must wake up and get to work
Don't wait for somebody else to start
Get your demand in on your own repre-.
sentatives and senator's. If all who
favor the Observation-Disclosures good roads
bill will do this, favorable action NAV
be expected. Without this concert OF
action congress will do nothing

work alone. 1t is the common duty of
the people to flood representatives and

The Funnel and The Tornado.

A feature of the, tornado that en-
hances it's terror is the mystery of its
operation. There is something uncanny
about the power Of the funnel shaped
cloud that eXpends it's force on
comparatively narrow swath and leaves
the surrounding territory untouched.
People instinctiyely inquire how such
an enormous source of energy is develop
ed and why it displays itself only in
certain portions of the country.
Perhaps the simplest explanation of
the tornado's formation can be based
on the analogy of the escape of water
from the opening Of a funnel. The
PARTICLES of water all tend to slide
down the tunnels sides in straight
lines to the mouth. But the opening is
narrow, the PARTICLES jostle against
one another, and in their effort to es
cape swirling motion is set up. This
is slow about the edges, but increases
in rapidity toward the center in ac-
cordance with we'll known law of
physics. If the funnel is large the
escaping water may attain an extreme
velocity at the center. A familiar
illustration is the miniature whirlpool
produced when the plug is with drawn
from a washbowl.
The tornado is simply the washbowl
inverted; that is the suction is upward
not drawn downward. There is sud-
den rarefaction of air. A partial vac
cum is created and air is sucked in
from all sides to fill it. The PARTICLES
crowd against each other in rushing
toward the center, a vortex motion is
produced and about the core Of the
storm the air is supposed to revolve
frequently at the rate of four hundred
or five hundred miles an hour.
The partial vacuum results from the
contact of moist air mass of different
temperatures. This occurs most fire.
quently in the spring when the earth is
heating rapidly, but when the upper
atmosphere is still abnormally chilly.
When such conditions exist mass of
warm humid light air may be isolated
and hemmed in between colder heavier
masses. Suddenly it may happen to be
released and so many shoot upward,
releasing it's moisture in rain and being
helped in it's ascent by the latent heat
liberated by the condensation of the
vapor. The colder heavier air rushes
in from all sides and the tornado vortex
is the outcome.
Experience has shown that for this
result there must be usually tenn
perature of at least 20 degrees with
great humidity at time of year when
there may be much colder atmospheric
strata near the earth. California is not
visited by tornadoes because the whole
atmospheric mass there is subject to
the ameliorating influences of the
ocean climate, and no large bodies of air
at sharply divers temperatures come in
contact with each other. Similarly,
tornadoes do not occur north of the
tiftieth parallel, because the necessary
heat is lacking. But they develope in
the central and eastern parts of the
United States, in Southern Europe and
ica.-kansas City Star.
