C. Morris, in the Philadelphia Ledger. In view of the remarkable tornado with which our city has just been visited and the somewhat misty ideas generally entertained concerning storms of this character, it may be Of interest to present to the readers of the Ledger some of the latest conclusions of science concerning such storms, The words cyclone ‘and tornado, for instanee, are frequently used interchangeably, though they refer to quite different wind phenomena. Yet meteoroto- gists are coming to the conclusion that all powerful wind storms belong to either the cy- cloue or the tornado class, and it may be wel to point out their distinctions, ery wind indicates that In some place the atmosphere has become thin or rare. The heavier airsurrounding at once flows from all sides toward this place, so as to restore the equilibrium of density.’ Why the alr becomes rare at special points is a question too to be here considered. Itis mainly due to the effects of solar heat and radiation, Such rari— fled spaces may occur in long lines, as along a seacoust where there is a difference in rapidity of heating and cooling between land and water. These produce land and sea breezes which have noue of the eyelonic conditions, But such breezes are mild in ebaracter, and most, if not all, powertul storms are cyclonic. in a cyclone the rarefaction of air occurs in & limited space, not in a long line, and the move- ment of the surrounding air ix inward from every side toward this center. Were the earth standing still, there would be straight lines of wind blowing in from every direction to each rarefied center, and their length and vigor would depend ‘on the degree of rarefaction of the air in this center. But the rotation of the 8 affects the movement of the nd deflects them froin their straight lines of motion, ‘They stiil appzvach thecenter, but in long curves instead of In a direct line. ‘The final result is a great circling whirl in the air, « lege atmospheric spiral, each line of whieh gradually curves in toward ie partial n the center or the whirl, and as the proach the center their s dl increases: ere the rarefaciion is extreme, they e destructive storms.

The limits of the tornado ure a few hun- dred yards. It ig in fact, « loval ety in the alr, and lias marked point? of stmilaiity to eddies im the water. Water eddies are duc to two causes. One of these is a meeting of \wo oppo- site currents. The opposing eurreats check each other's onward flow, and cauye a spiral, down- setting Whirl, with d ‘water~acuui or empty space in its center, into which the air must be strongly sucked. The other cause of water ed- dies is an wader water vacuum. The writer ob- served ® marked instance of this on the day alter the great storm at one of the water gates leading to the turbines at Fairmount, The water was being rapluly sncked from beneath into the turbine shoot, prodycing a partial vac- uum, which exerted a powerful down draught on tle surface waters, Ip cunsequi ace, eddies formed on the outer edge of tue aisturbance, moved tnward with incre: bg Width and vigor, yielding a roaring sound resembling that of de lortiado in ministure, and tally disappearing at the gate, to be succeeded by ever new ones. The aerial eddies known as tor:.adoes seem to be counterparts of these water eddies, or rather of the more extensiv eddies known’ as whirlpools. A. tornado 1s a macistrom in the alr, an atmospheric whirlpool directed upward, as a water whirlpooi is directed downward. It has, perbaps, two separate causes, siintlar to those just déscribed—the mecting of opposing currents and the up draught caused by a par- tial vacuum in the upper alr. ‘This, however, is by no means certain, since the real causes of tornadoes are by no means known. Yet we freqne see a minute repre- sentation of the eddy In the windwiirls in the streets, which teuvel onward with more or less rapidity, sucking up dust and sticks in their course, precisely as the tornado sucks up trees, roofs and ot Fielding objects. There Seems some reason to belicve that the recent tornado was due to the same cause which pro- duees these small whiris, numely, the meeting fee tornadoes ure 2 In Bucks county aryland, in addition Iphia one. Ii wind opposition se, there inust huve been an ex- tended line of powerful opposed currents. Another explanation otfered for tornadoes fs that of a partial vacuum In the upper air eaus- ing a vigorous vertical wind, which moves up- ward with a spiral whirl. Whether either of these theories Is trastworthy remains to be roved. The analogy with water e¢uies would idea that the two caters of these ed- ight be similarly operative in aerial v is not a proof, and rvation is needed ere the u be settled. Is which accompany the tornado are due to tue rapid condensation of atmospheric raporinthe live of the whirlwind. fp this con- nection it may be said that a photograph of a wesiern tornado has recently been taken, which differs radteally in form from our recent tor nado, as deseribed by several obwrvers.

How the Gilded Youth Amuse Them- selves, Correspondence of the Galveston News. ‘The London swells are the most inveterate betters in the world. The time hangs so heav- ily on their hands that in the excitement of Uncertainty they find @ grateful relief. A curious bet was made in one of the London clubs some years ago that will doubtless point a moral, It was that a certain member could not within two hours on’ London bridge sell 100 Rew guineas at a penny a plece, ‘The man took is place on the bri ith a little tray, on which he had the coin” He informed the p eneby that they were genuine gold coins the Bank of England and that they were to be had for’ penny each. ‘The cartmen and pollce- men laug! him; When the time expired, sueh is human incredality, that hehad sold but Bociwo ess Mnaid servant bought to amuse er a Another pecullar bet made in London was by well-known barrister for 8 amount, that he would at acertain hour block Fleet street in polatniia hor esa apntsh Ce ni ‘an e nted tim took his stand on the site ide of the street from an insurance , which had o large lion over the door.

It was during the dictatorship of Costa that musical pitch in England rose to the height at or about which it now stands, and a full recog- nition of the merits of that great conductor should not blind us to the two evil effects en- tailed by this supposed gain of general brilliancy | und sonority—we mmgan the harm done to the voices of public singdrs, ‘and the wrong inflicted upon composers whose works had tobe muti- Isted in order to bring thom within the range the human yoice. For Instance, the enor- mous intrinsic dimiculties presented to vo- culists by Beethoven's muss in D were so far enhaneed by the pitch adopted by Costa, that at the performances of that work In 1854, 1361, and 1570 by the Saci armoale So” clety, he was obliged to transpose, or even alter, certain numbers of the voeul score. The resolu: tion of the meeting of tho Soclety of Arts was a dead letter, and when a erlsis did ocenr nine vears later it may fuisly be said to have been foreed on by the single xetion of agreat vocalist, Mr. Sims Keeves declined to sing iur the Sacred, Harmonie Soctety, giviug as his reason, in a let- ter to the Athenq@um, the abnormally bigh pitch then prevailing. Detractors were notslow to iu- sinuate that le was merely consulting the tater- ests of his own organ, aid not those of mu- sicians as a whole. The odium musicun was aroused, and the ‘papers of the day were filled with ots eh on the subject. But the matter did not end here, for this “strike” on the part of an invaluable artist gavean entiroly practical turn to the controversy, An enterprising firm of musical publishers took up the cause, ‘and organized a Series of oratorio concerts, with Mr. Shins Reeves as their chief attraction, und the adeption of tho French piteh as thé chief novelty of their program. A new organ, taned to the ‘diapason 2, Was built for the purpose, the neces- wind instruments were purchased in Patis, and the services of Mr. Barnby secured aj conductor. Now, us no mention whatever was made at the recent public mecti hetd in St. James’ hall, this pract test of the lower pitch, ol cal which extended over several seasons and Was attended with re- markable success, we may be allowed, In order to coniplete this’ brief historical survey of the pitch question, to summarize the net results of this experiment so far as they cen be gathered | from contemporary press notices. From these it is evident that while undoubted relief was aflorded to the singers, uo percepuble fuillng of in prilligney, or sonotity wus apparent. “the critics were almost unanimous in following the lead set by tho writer in the Times—presuin- ably the later Mr, Davison—who candidly con- fessed that the diference between the pitches scemed so slight a3 hardly to be worth ‘taking | into serious account, A great number of these geatlemen took no notice of the change at all; and after the first season, press re: ences to the altered pitch were ‘alinost exclu- sively confined to the statement that tt was atill upheld, One newspaper which tind assailed the innovation at the outset was obliged to ad- init, o2 the occasion of the perormance of tie mass in D, that the adoption of the French itch was a great advantage; and In another Journal’ the Giapason norma was attacked for the grotesque reason that no grand plano tuned to that standard being available, the “queen of pianist-s"—Mine. Arabella Goddard—was com- pelied to submit to the indignity of performing the “pianoforte soloctu the Chobal Punt. sia ‘upon a sembgrand. Eventually the need of more extended accommodation for the performers induced the promoters of these oratorio coucerts to migrate to Exeter Hall, where they were obliged to coniorm to the pitch of the organ, and abandon the diapason normel.

A CLASSMATE OF MR. BLAINE'S WHO WAS SHOT DEAD AS A BURGLAR, Special Corresfiondence of the Philadelphia Press. WASHINGTON, Pa., August 8.—Just before dawn the other day, while Chief of Police Ham- mond was making the rounds of the business quarters of the town, he noticed two men, with the aid of an fron bar, attempting to foree an entrance into Vandegrift’s wholesale liquor house.

The case is before the rand jury this month, and it Is belleved that Eoay will ignore the bili. ‘A DOWN-HILL CAREER, John Wolf was fifty-six years of age and had an eventful earcer. In his youth he attended ‘Washington college, long before its consolida- tion with Jefferson, then located at Canons. burg. James G. Blaine attended college at the same time. Of the 200 students, the majorit were the sons of southern planters, who. with well-filled purses and attended by their'negro valets, transformed this otherwise humdram viiage into a place of continual uproar. Many and Varied were the prauks played, and {un John Wolf was found a ready leer. ’ He was most noted, however, for his skill in “tossing” silver balf-dollars—a scarcity In those days— which oiten resulted in Seen southern purses. John’s recklessness and habitual neglect Of his studies finally led to his expulsion.
