nothing worth laughing at in such

growing, and that a nauseated public

circular motion at the point Of the

comes a whirl, which condenses the

the same time the continuing upward
draft increases the rapidity Of its orig

fed, and thus where the phenomenon
occurs at sea the water always seems
to be sucked UP into it, although this is
not really the case to any considerable
extent.
