cyclone and a tornado A vast sys-
TEN of winds blowing around a center
OF low atmospheric pressure is known
as a cyclone. Many disturbances of
this character pass across the United
-.---e at intervals of few days in a
general direction from west to east.
They are common place storms.
Their approach is generally marked
by rise in temperature. After they
have passed cooler weather with
west and northwest winds follows.
The most conspicuous feature Of
the tornado is a whirling black cloud
shaped like a funnel or sometimes
like a ballon, in the midst of a mass
of dark storm clouds. Wreck and
ruin are accomplished by the terrific
force of the whirling winds wherever
this whirling wind sweeps the earth,
usually in a path from one-eighth to
one-half mile in width. Tornadoes
are purely local while cyclones COW
er very wide area and travel for
thousands of miles. TornadOes are
often called cyclones but this is a
mistake for they have no resemblance
to cyclone at all.
The West India hurricane is the
other type of storm that causes great
devastation. The West Indies and
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the
United States suffer considerably
from these storms. They originate
in the West Indies, hence their
name. They occur from July to Oc-
tober. The government weather bu-
reau keeps track of these storms and
usually manages to give warning of
their coming at least As hours before
they arrive. The general character
and formation of hurricanes are very
much the same as those of cyclones.
Galveston, New Orleans, Mobile, Sa-
vannah, Charleston and Key West are
the cities have suffered most
from the furious winds of hurricanes.
At Cape Mendocine, Calf, a gale
of l44 miles an hour was recorded
in January 1886. There is no tell

WEEKS TALKS
W|THPERSH|NC
General Confers at War De.
partment Over Duties OF
His New Job.

Gen. John j. Pershing and Secre-
tary of War Weeks conferred yes
terday on the recently announced
plan of the War Department to place
Pershing at the head of a General
Headquarters organization, the OBJ
ject OF which shall be to prepare the
country in time of peace for war.
PLANS ARE DISCUSSED.
1t was the first conference between
the Secretary and General Pershing
since the generals new duties were
announced. Though no official an
nouncement was made following the
interview. 1t is understood that the
tentative plans for the headquarters
organization were gone into in con-
siderable detail
General Pershing declined to dis
cuss reports that he intends to retire
because of dissatisfaction with the
new assignment. 1t was learned from
an authoritative source, however,
that the general believes such an
organization, If properly worked our.
would be of great benefit to the
United States. and that the admins
tration of such task would be a
man-sized job.
The duties Of the head of the gen
eral headquarters, as briefly outlined
by Secretary Weeks, would be similar
to those OF General Joffre in the
French army prior to the outbreak
of the World War. Under the present
system, it is argued by high army Of
ficers, there is practically no provi-
sion for wartime organization.
WOULD CONTROL COLLEGES.
When the United States entered the
war, General Pershing was called sud
denly from Texas to assume command
of the overseas expedition. He had nc
staff and when officers for overseas
staff duty were selected, the exist
ing general staff of the War Depart
ment was practically disrupted.
A general headquarters such as has
been suggested, it is argued, ought
to make impossible the repetition OF
lieves the commander of a headquar-
tiers organization should have a stan
of officers, skeletonized to be sure
but sufficient to take charge of the
field armies OF the United states IN
moments notice and get them
functioning without upsetting the
normal operations of the War De
partment
The headquarters commander, who
would be the general OF the armies
should receive orders, it's argued
direct from the President and the
Secretary OF War. He should be en-
tirely distinct and independent of the
War Department general stan, and
should depend upon the War De-
partment for supplies only. 1t is
also argued that the headquarters
organization should have control OF
the War College and the War Plars
division.
General Pershing is understood to
have very definite ideas as to the
function of the National Guard in our
system of national defense.
The National Guard now contains
many men and officers of ability
proved in actual warfare, and high
officers of the army believe 1t can be
made of tremendous value as a ma
tional reserve IL proper steps are
taken to unity and coordinate its
various elements.
If this plan were carried out, 1t H.
asserted, the morale and interest OF
the National Guard would be great,
enhanced, and the guard could be
recruited to a strength of 100000 or
more.

Jersey STREAMS
ALIVE W|THF|SH

Biva1ve, n. j., April 23.-lndicattons
all point to the greatest line fishing
season in the history of the New
Jersey coast. Practically all of the
bays, inlets and streams in south
eastern Jersey are alive with Ash.
They have been appearing in shoals
larger than have been seen in years,
and as a rule are at least a month
ahead of their usual time of arriving
Shad, which have been comparatively
scarce for the past few seasons. are
found in increasing quantities. and.
which nothing like the record break
ing catches of ten years ago are being
reported, nevertheless shad fishermen
feel encouraged over the prospect.
What is true of FISH is even more
true of the shellfish, especially crabs.
In certain districts they can be seen
in thousands. This will be welcome
news to thousands OF line fishermen
who come down into this section of
the State each spring and summer for
n few days fishing and who show
preference for crabmeat bait. 1t will
also mean that crabmeat will be
served at many OF the coast hotels,
where it has been practically I'M
past crabs sold at anywhere from 20
cents to so cents a dozen.
In recent years, however. the price
was run up, owing to the compare
tive scarcity of the crab Until last
season they brought as much as 81 a
dozen at certain times and could not
be had in quantities even at that
price. This season. it is said, will see
n return of the old price. which will
mean that thousands of crabs will be
bought by fishermen.
Practically every fishing point along
the bay and, so far as can be learned.
the entire length of the coast reports
the same promising outlook. In the
Barnegat Bay area the number OF
fishermen will be double that of the
past season. At Fortesque they say
that the demand for boats and ac-
commodations is greater than in
years. Maurice River sends out the
same information. As whole the
season promises to be one of the most
prosperous in the fishing history of
the shore, and while there are a few
pessimists who insist that the com
mercial fishermen will hit the season
sport, the opinion Is by no means
generally shared.

A. c. ANDD. c. USES
GIVEN EXPLANATION
Housewife Should Be Familiar
With Various Forms of
Current Used.

Some times the housewife, chance
ing to glance at the plate on the
motor of the vacuum cleaner, wash
ing mashine or other motor-driy-
en- househald appliances, notes that
IL Is marked "A. c." and wonders
what II means-if IL means any
thing important at all.
1t does mean something. and .ts
meaning is important. 1t means
that the motor Is intended TO be
operated by an alternating current.
III 1t were built to be run by direst
current II would be marked, I'd. c.
In the great majority of cases all
ternating current is used on electric
light circuits. Hence the motors
for household appliances are usually
A. c. motors. This is not SO in ever
case, however. and II there is 'anv
doubt as to the kind OF current that
Is being used for lighting the house,
the housewife will do well 10 in
quire about the motor before buy
ing, as in some cities direct cur
rent is used for direct light and
power purposes.
Generally speaking. however alter
mating current is used for light and
power, with some important excep-
tons. The term alternating cur
rent Is used because, for the frac-
ton of a second. the current flows
in one direction through the wires
and then. reversing, flows in the
opposite direction. The rapidity Of
this variation-the number of times
per second the current is thus sent
in two directions through the wires,
that is, two complete alienation
is termed a cycle, and the number
OF cycles in a second IL called the
frequency. The frequency varies in
accordance with the purpose for which
the current is TO be used. Thus,
the frequency in most general use
in house lighting circuits is so cycles
and this is also q matter concern
ing which the householder should
make sure when buying electrically
operated devices.
For power Transmission and for use
on railways. a frequency of % cycles
Is generally used. Those who are
unfamiliar with electrical phepom'
ena sometimes wonder why it is tina;
there is not a tiny fraction of a sec
ond when an electric lamp goes out"
because of the alienation of the
current. The reason is simple. Tho
changes in the direction OF the cur
rent are made at such speed that
the filament Of the lamp does not
have time to cool, and hence con-
tinues to glow.
There are various types OF alter,
mating current motors, each having
special qualities that make ii desira-
BILE for certain kinds of work-single-
phase, two-phase, etc. There is the
induction motor, synchronous motor
and commutator motor.
Direct current is used for the oper-
alton of trolley GAYS, in most in
stances, and many electric locomo-
tiyes are driven by it. IL is also
often used for operating elevators
and freight hoists, and must be used
in charging storage batteries. The
various types of direct-current
motors, which includes series, shunt
and compound motors, have each
their special uses.

power five times the estimated new
water power development necessary
to supply the total increased cleo
trical energy market of California By
1890.
On the other hand, the 2.Ss3, $50
horse power involved in projects in
the State of New York is only ap-
proximately $50. 900 more than the
es timated total increase in rating OF
central generating stations necessary
to meet all requirements of both light
and power customers in that State By
1880.
INCREASE IN BUSINESS.
An interesting sidelight on this
subject Is afforded by the fact that
in spite OF adverse business condi-
tions, the returns of central station
business for the month of December,
last, indicated that the daily opera
tions of the electric light and power
industry during that month were only
slightly below those OF the preceding
month. Even with this slight de-
crease. the reports showed an increase
In the business OF the central stations
q 81 per cent over that for the cor
responding month of the preceding
year. Moreover, a record OF x2,7S0, geo
average daily gross revenue was made
during the month, SO that while the
output was practically sat stand
still the revenue was materially In
creased.
How capital is to be provided for fl
RANGING this huge program OF devel-
opment is a question that has a direct
interest to the public. Electric power
Is now among the necessities. Upon
its being supplied depends not mere
Nv the comfort and convenience, but
the livelihood of those employed in
shops and factories operated by cleo
tricity.
