Circular Storms.

Meteorologists are now agreed that what are called circular storms are not circular in the proper sense of the word. There is not merely flow of air round, but also conveyance to- ward central area. There is also . large upfiow over and near the central area and also m outflow above and a descent probably In the outskirts of the storm area; hence the motion is sue cessively complicated. It Is also very variable, as squalls and gusts of the most violent character may alternate with strong but less destructive winds; also in the cyclonic storms of the tenn perate regions of the northern hemi- sphere the winds in the same quadrant of cyclonic storm and from the same general direction differ largely in their meteorological character.
