Tomatoes and
Cyclones
Storms as Defined by the u. S.
Weather Bureau

Weather men define a tornado as a
violent windstorm, with rain or hail,
thunder and lightning, In which the air
masses whirl with great velocity
around q central core, while the whole
storm travels across the country In q
narrow path at high speed. The thun-
der and the whirling motion have Civ
EN- rise to two theories of the deriva-
ton of the word, as to whether Ii Is
derived from the Spanish tornado" a
thunderstorm, or from the Latin storm
are" to turn.
A cyclone, In the definition of the
weather bureau, Is not necessarily q
windstorm of great velocity, but rath-
er a widespread storm that moves with
no great speed. Its width may cover
several states. This cyclone, or area
of low pressure-indicated as slow on
the weather map-gives conditions es-
sential to tornadoes. Many cyclones
never develop a tornado, but a tornado
never develops without the cyclone,
and almost invariably the tornadoes oc-
u In the southeast quarter OF the
low area. About 100 cyclones pass
across the United States each year,
moving In a general way from west to
east. They are of great benefit be-
cause they induce movement of surface
air from the south and southeast, and
the rainfall that makes the great In
terror valleys a rich agricultural region
Is dependent upon these southerly,
misunderstanding winds.
Practically all Of the cyclones of the
warm season give rise at some time or
place to thunderstorms or hail or vio-
lent winds. These winds may be vio-
lent enough to cause destruction, but
unless they have the whirling column
Of air they are not t~ornadoes. In the
East it is not always easy to distin-
guish the funnel-shaped cloud. but the
lay of the debris after a storm will
tell whether there has been a twist
ing motion.
Tornadoes almost invariably move
In an easterly direction and generally
from southwest to northeast. The av-
erage length Of the path of destruction
Is about rs miles, and this path may
not be continuous, IL the funnel cloud Is
not In contact with the earth during its
whole our Sometimes 1t rises and
goes for a considerable distance before

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, July 19.-Hogs con-
tinued to climb upwardpand the top
end of the range approached the
$500 mark, best here selling at
$17.90. with the big bulk of sales
from $17.50@17.S5. Compared with
yesterdays early trade prices paid
measured 25@30c higher, or the deal
was 10 q 15c higher than the high
close on that day. Trade opened a
little slow, but gained in activity
during the middle of the session.
Cattle run was light, estimate call
ing for 900 head as against 1855 a
week ago and 1902 the correspond
ing day a year ago. Falling off in
receipts is having a beneficial effect
on the market for killing grades and
the deal today showed a degree of
firmness, while as is usually the case
late in the week the deal on stockers
and feeders was quiet at about steady
figures.
Live mutton trade drew a very
limited quota and the market was
with that of yesterday.

lraumatic Shock, Harvard
Medical Expert Finds Far
Most Deadly in Trenches

Men rarely die of shell shock but
they have been dying at the rate of
10000 q year In the Ferlish and
French armies alone as & suit OF a
far more deadly form of shock-trau-
matte shock, says the Atlantic
Monthly. In fact, the latter is usu-
ally fatal when skilled assistance is
not at hand. DIR. William T. Porter
Of the Harvard medical school has
been sent into the front line trenches
In France to study this strange enemy
In action. Traumatic shock, he found,
usually follows a serious fracture of
a major bone like the hip bone or
multiple wounds through the sub-cu-
taneous fat layer.
BY experimenting with injecting
olive oil into the veins of q eat DR..
Porter developed symptoms Identical
with those appearing In cases of
traumatic shock, confirming his belief
that fatty globules are released into
the veins by certain wounds and these
gradually clog mp the hairlike capil-
laries of the brain until circulation
ceases. Then began an interesting Sc
ries of experiments In the front line
trenches in which Dr. Porter tried the
experiment of giving carbon dioxide
TO freshly wounded men to prevent
shock. The poilus were delighted
with his tests and crowded around
eagerly to watch the operation.
All of these details, together with
many keen and humorous reactions
Of a trained observer In the war zone,
are set down in DIR. Porter's recently
published little book, "Shock at the
Front" In fact, one well known
critic insists that the book, far from
being a mere medical treatise, is
rather "a glimpse of the war done In
sharp stroke by a physician who has
as pretty a technic with the pen as
with the scalpel."
