PHENOMENA OF AIR.
COnnor Explains The Eccentricities Of
the Wind Family.

aKnsas City Star.
What is tornado? cyclone? A
hurricane? A gale? And why?
Col. p. Connor, of the Kansas City
Weather Bureau, has received those
inquiries many times Of late.
It's all matter of barometric
pressure" Mr.. Connor elueidates.
There are very few violent atmos-
pheric disturbances in the winter
time, because the atmosphere is pref
ty we'll chilled to the same temper
ature. But in the springtime the hot
and cold strata Of air become ner-
vous. Then follows a rarified centre
in some locality.
Now it must be known that air psr-
ticles are very sensitive and selfcsh as
we'll. So that when such a rarIfca-
ton takes place all those air particles
on the outside want to get in there and
take the seats in the front row. When
they all get started toward the GEN.
tire gentle whirling motion is set
up, always moving in the opposite di-
rection Of clock hands.
That movement is cyclone. 1t
sweeps over an area of 1000 miles or
so at a rate Of 80, 40, SO or 60 miles
an hour. Those movements drop an
occasional thunder storm or two
along the way. Were it not for these
cyclones this great Western country
would be arid and dry. for they al
ways carry the clouds along with them
that contain the rain.
THE tornado? Well, down in the
southeastern quadrant of the cyclone,
probably 100 or 200 miles from the
centre Of the cyclone. Old Sol IL warm
ing up the earth. The earth's heat is
thrown back in turn and warns the
atmosphere and it becomes light. And
all the while this whirling motion of
the cyclone continues, bringing down
the colder, heavier air. When this
light, heated air bumps into the cold
air to do except drop. And with the
dropping it sets off along the earth
at fast pace in a whirling, rapid
movement. while the warm air goes
scooting up to the clouds.
That is the tornado. 1t shoots
along at the rate of an express train
and roars like 100 locomotives putting
and snorting together. And woe be-
tide the house that gets in the way.
Finally the disconnected bunch Of air
layers go on up into the northern part
of the cyclone. There they get COOL
ed off and calm down.
"A gale is just a plain old breeze
that gets up a steady, hard speed. 1t
changes to a hurricane when it pass
es the 50-mile-an-hour mark. Never
get frightened at a cyclone-but look
out for the little fight between the air
layers when they bump"

attack may be actually caused by
mental overwork, grief anxiety, wor-

The patient needs absolute quiet
