DESPITE CONTRARY RUMORS.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Sept. 25.-There

Persons may somewhat avoid tornado

reading the weather maps. which at least
show the conditions which favor tornado
formation. The local signs are heavy, dark

TORNADOES AND CYCLONES.

TORNADOES AND CYCLONES.
Weather men define a tornado a. a ,io-
lent windstorm with rain or hail, thunder
and lightning, in which the air masses whirl
with great velocity around a central core
while the whole storm travels across the
country in a narrow path at high speed,
The thunder and the whirling motion have
given rise TO two theories of the derivation
of the word :as to whether il j. derived
from the Spanish "tornado,' a thunder
storm. or from the Latin 'tornare,' TO turn
/ A cyclone, in the definition of the Wealth
or Bureau. j. not necessarily a windstornl
of great velocity. but rather a widespread
storm that moves with no great speed. IT.

clone. or area of low pressure j. Indicated
as low" on the weather map-givcs condi-
tions essential to tornadoes. Many "
clones never develop a tornado, but a tor
made never develops without the cvclone,
and almost invariably the tornadoes occur
in the southeast quarter of the low area.
About la0 cyclones pass across the United
States zach year. moving IN a general way
from west To east. They are of great bene-
fit because they induce a movement of sur
face air from the south and southeast. and

Practically all Of the cyclones Of the
warm season gives rise ut some time or place
to thunder storms. or hail or violent winds.
These winds may be violent enough IL
cause destruction. but unless they have
the whirling column of air they are not tor
ma ,.oes. In the East il i not always easy
to Distinguish the funnel-shaped cloud. but
the lay of the debris after n storm will tell
whether there has been a twinsing motion.
Tornadoes almost invariably move in an

BIGGEST CROPS YET
 IS FARMERS BIT
Agricultural Dept. Estimate Is
 6,09S,000,000 Bushels

Washington. July 10.-A billion bushels increase over last years pro- duction in the principal food crops Is
 the response American farmers have made to President Wilson's mid-April appeal saying that upon them "rests the fate of the war and tho fate of nations.''
 The extent of the farmers response
 was disclosed when a production of 6,093, 100000 bushels of principal food
 crops was forecast in the Department
 of Agriculturars July crop report. It
 shows this years corn crop will be
 the largest in history, and that four,
 and possibly five, other crops will
 make new high records. The corn crop. which will exceed three billions of bushels, shows an increase of 541,OOO,00O bushels over
 last year. with total of SPA 900, 900
 mushels. The total acreage Is IA per
 cent. larger than last year. It Is the
 largest in history except that of 1912, which it may yet equal. The combined winter and spring
 wheat crop will be 38,0O0, 900 bushels
 more than last years, with a total of
 67s.O00,000 bushels.
 Barley, with prospects of the third largest crop ever grown, will exceed
 last years production by 33,O0O, 900 bushels. with an output of 1000, 900
 bushels.
 Oats promise to exceed last years crop by POI 100000 bushels, the total production being forecast at 1,453. O0O,000 bushels. That is slightly un- der the record. Improvement between now and harvest may result in a rec ord crop.
 White potato production, on 22 F per cent. increase in acreage, will be a record crop with 452, 100000 bush els, or 67.0O0,000 bushels more than last year. not taking into account the year is estimated to be much larger than ever before.
 Rye, another record crop this year. will amount to 56,100,000 bushels, or S,7OO, 900 bushels more than last year. Sweet potatoes will register new high total with S2,200.000 bushels, or 1000 bushels more than last year. Rice production will total 34. 900, 900 bushels, the second largest crop ever produced.
 Production of tobacco will break another record, with a crop of 1.215,- 100000 pounds, which is 64,0oO.OOO pounds more than was grown last year.
 Tn a statement, the department said:
 "A heavy increase in acreage sf

The restrictions imposed on their erection are held valid.
 The three cases above noted are perhaps more important and interest ing to the largest number of people. but are by no means the only ones found in this pamphlet.
 Challoner V. Sherman, page 136, continues an interesting story which had It's beginning in an adjudication of lunacy against plaintiff some years ago. It was claimed that he had been corruptly 1ured from his home in Virginia in 1897 and illegally com mitted to an asylum, and that an ad- judication of incompetency was made in 1899 on perjured testimony. He subsequently escaped to Virginia and was there adjudged competent in 1901 and held capable of managing his person and estate. The present ac- tion was brought against the commit tee appointed in New York to take care of his person and estate for dam ages for withholding his property. Judgment in favor of defendant is affirmed on the ground that the ad- judication of incompetency Is not open to collateral attack.
 Crane V. Johnson. page 17S. up- holds the validity of the California Statute regulating drugless headers and making an exception in favor of persons treating the sick by prayer. The statute of the same state relating to optometrists is passed upon in Mo- Naughton V. Johnson, page 178. Other cases involve the safety appliance act the bankruptcy act, limitation of lia- bility of carriers, Indian lands, changes Of bridges by railroad com panies. gas regulations. earnishment of savings bank deposits, freight rates corporatfon taxes, etc.
