The great storm that hit the Arabic" described in some of the press reports as an Oriental typhoon." which mysteriously appeared in the North Atlantic, was not a typhoon at all, and had nothing Oriental about it's origin.
 It was, correctly speaking, "cyclonic hurricane" which is the normal type of storm for the place and season-a storm originating in the West Indies and sweep ing northward along the Atlantic coast, breaking out into occasional cyclones as 1t went northward. In a cyclone, winds turn in circles, counterclockwise, around a comparatively calm centre.
 In describing this particular storm, Mir, Kimball insisted upon one official point. Captain V. H. Hickson, of the Arabic" which ran into the cyclone area off Nan tucket Sound, declared that he had had no radio warnings. MT. Kimball states officially for the Weather Bureau that radio warnings and messages, at stated regular hours daily and covering the entire period of the storms sweep up the coast, were broadcast from the big naval station

| IS tnis property modified by the rotation of the earth and various local influences, which causes the periodical winds of the world, and also the great cyclonic storms.
 The earth is surrounded by an envelope of air, the bulk of which lies within ten miles of the earth's surface, though ex- cessively rarified air probably occurs at a height of 300 miles or more. This sea of air partakes of the movements of the earth and Is also influenced so as to cause atmospheric tides somewhat similar to the tides which occur in the ocean.
 If at any point in the above described system of air circulation, there occurs a local area of low pressure, the air from the surrounding region is forced inward. not toward the centre, however, but spirally around it, the velocity of the air depending upon the rapidity of change from high to low pressure.
 Almost everyone has seen a tiny. miniature cyclone, when dust in road. or leaves on lawn are picked up and whirled around in circles. It is usually called a whirlwind The cyclone which struck the Arabic" was simply this sarns phenomenon, enormously enlarged.
 The inward flow above described is con- verted by the rotation of the earth into an atmospheric whirl, turning to the left or counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemi- sphere, and in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
 Fully developed, the cyclone of the type which struck the Arabic" consists of well defined area, more or less circular in shape, throughout which the atmos- pheric pressure diminishes rapidly on all sides toward the centre. On the sides of the area, the winds blow with tremendous force. At the centre itself-the point of lowest pressure, is a region seldom more than ten or twenty miles in diameter, in which either calm or very light winds pre- vail. Here, too, the dense canopy of cloud which overhangs the storm area is pierced. forming the so-called "eve of the storm
 So that in spite of the fact that shippers and sailors felt that the ocean had gone quite crazy during the storms this Fall, they were in reality perfectly normal phenomena, varying only AD h. tensity from those of past seasonss

 The scientific explanation of the origin, nature and cause of such storms, as sup piled by the Weather Bureau, may be reduced to quite simple terms:
 Winds are produced by only one cause differences in atmospheric pressure in adjacent localities. These pressure diff ferences are due chiefly to differences in temperature.

 This great storm was preceded a few weeks earlier by the arctic storms that made history by holding up the American fliers in Iceland, and was almost im- mediately followed by another hurricane, of slightly less intensity.
 This latter storm came in the first days of September. The schooner Hathaway" was wrecked of Hatteras. and the captain and six men, their iifeboats smashed found themselves in danger of drowning They clung to driftwood through the night.
