NEW YORK, May 19.-In the very
glow of today that makes spring
beautiful, in that same mellow at
mosphere that gives the season it's
charm are carried the conditions that
create the most destructive, the most
deadly and at the same time most
diminutiVe of storms-the black tor
nado.
That smallest and mo: t powerful
of storms Is borne upon the out
skirts of more general storm, called
cyclone and classified as a low
pressure.
Heat Creates Vacuum.
Cyclones usually form where the
atmospheric pressure at the earth's
surface is lowest, which means at
the point or within the area at which
the greatest amount of heat is as
cending into the upper air and
thereby creating a comparative at
mospheric vacuum.
AS the rising column Of heat en-.
iarges a greater vacuum is produced
and the air from all sides rushes to-

Whirlin9, upward motion and storm
is started. The warmer air flows in
from the south and east and the
colder air from the north and west.
In this process the warmer air under.
runs extensive layers Of cold air that
are thrown off from an area of high
pressure located to the north and
west of the cyclone center. The
warmer air thus confined must oh
tain an outlet and in doing so creates
the violent, upward whirling motion
Usually Gives Warning.
Where the greatest difference In
temperature exists between those
rapidly approaching strata Of warn
; and cold air-alWays to the south OF

eral storm--there the tornado Is

The day will be exceptionally

Soon the great mass Of ominous

preceded by an immense volume of

That noise is heard at least fifteen
or twenty minutes before the ar

period the wind increases to a gale,
