Storm Centers and Their Cause and Effect. AREAS OF LOW AND HIGH BAROMETRICAL PRES- SURE—GROUNDWORK OF WEATHER PREDIC- TIONS— CURRENTS OF AIR—HOW A STORM TROUGH IS PORMED AND A CYCLONE PRODUCED. It would probably startle many people were they to be told that every storm that occurs is a cyclone, yet, to a certain extent, such a state- ment would be correct. Every storm is cy- clonic in its nature; that is to say, it has ina large degree the elements that form the un- pleasant characteristics of what is popularly termed a “cyclone.” It was not many years ago that people generally thought of Kansas whenever a cyclone was mentioned; visions of dark, funnel-shaped clouds and flying roofs were conjured up by the word, and it was a popular idea that in Kansas the cyclone made its home, and only wandered beyond the state’s boundaries on mere depredatory excursions, and never traveled very far from headquarters. Such, indeed, was the vague, loose idea that folks possessed. Thata better knowledge of the subject has spread of late years is due to the investigations and utterances of scientists, who have made the subject of storms and their peculiarities a special study, HOW STORMS ARE PRODUCED. Storms are always of a cyclonic nature, as was said before. They are produced by a sudden rise in a large body of air, which causes that around to rush in to take its place. This causes q whirling such as is produced when two currents of water meet. In the immediate center there is no agitation, almost a calm, the air surging this way and that without any definite direction, except upward. Farther out the air currents flow toward this center in a direction generally tangent to the center, which is circular at first. Thus for miles around the storm the wind blows inward, form- ing a great whirlpool of air. When this phe- nomenon occurs on a large scale, the center extending over several square miles, the dis- turbance is denoted a storm, or, in the lance of the meteorologists, a “low.” is latter word comes from the condition of the barometer that precedes and accompanies the storm, ALEXANDRIA. Reported for Tae Evexma Stan. ‘Tar Brix-Wiiiams Rewarp.—Officer of Washington, had an interview with the ing here cause of his bold stroke at the capture of Wil- liams and also because without this capture the conviction of Williams would never have taken place; as the fact that he was found with Cur- ran, known to have been present at Arnold's leath, had no inconsiderable weight with the jury that found Williams guilty. The mayor, owever, will not pay the reward to any one without an order of the city council or the judgment of court. Corporation Covrt.—The corporation court will remain in sesion for some days longer. The civil cases on the docket of the court were called this morning, many of them continued and others set for trial. e only civil case so far disposed of at this term has been the suit of Indiana Neale Francis Neale, which has been decided in favor of the defendant. Crrmxat Cases.—Before the call of the civil docket in the corporation court to-day the case of the colored man Naphor, alias Blackburn, for breaking into the house of Mrs. Downey, was tried and given tothe jury. In the case of the Buzzard’s Roost robbery, the man Lucas has been acquitted, and the women, Meade and Lucas, convicted and sentenced to six months in jail. Kxionts or Lasor.—The Knights of Labor of Belhaven assembly, of this city, which re- cently gave up its hall in Paff’s building, and has since held sessions at private houses. hi now rented the Knights of jias hall on Fair- fax street. The order, which had considerably decreased in membership here, is again in- creasing. Notes.—The convention to arrange for the celebration of the 22d of February will hold a mee! at the council chamber to-night, when delegations from various companies and asso- ciations willing to take part in the celebration will be present, and the committee appointed to golleet funds will make its report.——Alex- andria has no pro clerk; the proj siezed in eriminal ‘cases remains generally in the custody of the chief of police. The pistol of the late Julian Arnold, for whose murder Billy Williams is now going to the penitentiary for five years, has been in ssion of the police since the morning of the murder. The consent of the children of Mr. Arnold and of the court having been obtained the pistol has been given to Officer Ticer.—The will of the late Ignatz Rammel, the well-known restaurant keeper on Royal street, has been probated. He gives his estate to his wife and makes her his executrix, Mrs, Rammel has qualified under the will——The sale of the furniture of the Tontine hotel on Washington account was begun this morning.—Rev. Dr. Benson, of Georgetown, preached again last night at the Methodist Protestant church here. ees The Death Record.

CYCLONE AND TORNADO, When the center is small, and concentrated over @ narrow area, with high winds flowing in from all directions, it is usually denoted a cy- clone, or a tornado, These latter storms come suddenly, usually without warning, and are terrible in their destruction. The air seems solid, so fiercely does it beat against and over- power solid objects. Trees are twisted from their rootings, small objects are whirled from the surface, and even houses are shattered by the sudden and resistless movements of the air. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS great fortunes have been lost through the de- struction of property by these terrific whirl- winds. That at Reading, Pa., some days ago was an appalling disaster, such as seldom oc- curs. ese cyclonic storms are ou’ ywths of the larger or more general ones, and their for- mation can best be illustrated by reference to the daily weather maps that are issued by the signal service. The word “low” appears printed on the face of the map, surrounded by encir- cling lines, generally parallel. These lines are called isobars (meaning equal pressure), and have figures attached to them showing the height of the barometer in those parts of the country over which they pass. They are drawn in such a manner that a barometer will register exactly the same | ieesapis it any point on the same line. ‘hese lines, therefore, show at a glance the general height of the barometer, or the gen- eral distribution of atmospheric pressure over the country. In passing it may be said that it is the knowledge of the conditions which usu- ally accompany the different distributions and relations of these isobars and of the movements usually followed by the areas of low and high pressures that forms the groundwork for the study and prediction of the weather. A STORM CENTER, To return to the cyclone. An area of low, or @ storm center, may be compared to an amphi- theater, with the barometric readings rising like the steps on all sides of the small central plain. These steps may be at uniform distances apart, in which case the storm is meteorologi- cally perfect, or they —. be very near each other in some places and far apart in others. The closer peal these pressure steps, shown by the isobars, become, the more concentrated the storm and the more cyclonic in its nature. On first forming, the storm is generally almost circular, and is usually large. In this coun‘ the majority of them form, or are first noted, in the southwestern portion of the United States, and move towards the Atlantic ocean in a northeasterly direction. As a storm moves, the circular center loses its shape and elon- gates, slightly at first. For some indefinite reason, this elongation takes -place on the southern side of the storm and the isobars, in- stead of coming regularly around the center, sweep downwardssemewhat on that side. This elongated area of low pressure is called a “trough.” As the storm moves eastward the trough grows in length, until sometimes it ex- tends nearly to the Gulf of Mexico while the storm is in the neighborhood of the great lakes. It even happens, as was the case on the occasion of THE GREAT BLIZZARD OF MARCH LAST. that the trough separates entirely from the main or parent storm and forms a secondary storm, which even becomes more severe than the first one. This was what happened last March. The southern end of the trough broke offand began moving rapidly up the Atlantic coast until it reached the vicinity of New York and Boston, where it hung for many hours, causing untold suffering and damage.

It was shown that Lord was with a num- ber of his companions, and Brooks was with several colored playmates.

A fine of $10 was imposed.

RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT TO BE MEASURED BY ‘LENGTH OR WEIGHT — HOW THE SOUTHERN QUESTION IS TREATED IN THE INAUGURAL AD- DRESS—GEN. HARRISON ON THE USE OF BOODLE. Gen. Harrison was comparatively free from visitors yesterday, and so the correspondents occupied their intellects in speculating upon the effect of the action of some cabinet aspi- rants who have deluged the President-elect with delegations and recommendations. The Tribune's special says: Gen. Harrison, it is understood, is always willing to listen to a new argument or to have light thrown on a side of a situation which has hitherto been obscure, but the mere repetition of favorable individual opinions in a matter so broad and national in seo) cabinet officer is apparen: as the choice of a y getting wearisome. As John C. New, who ought to be a good ju of the President-elect’s temper, put it in the Journal not iong ago, Gen. Harrison feels that re- commendations for cabinet places are not “to be measured by the yard or weighed by the pound.” WHAT MR. PLUMMER SAYS. All this of course referred to the recent visits of New Yorkers to Gen. Harrison, some recommending Warner Miller and others urging Thomas C. Platt. Mr. Plummer, who went in Mr. Miller's interest, has been interviewed by the New York Mail and Express since his re- turn. After saying that Gen. Harrison sent for him or he never would have visited Indianap- olis. Mr. Plummer adds: litics some and New York state a littl id Mr. Harrison that I thought the Hon. ner Miller was a very good man for a cabinet office, and in return Mr. Harrison—promised?— no, indeed; he didn’t promise todo anything of the sort. He simply bowed courteously, as though he had heard my opinion and be leave to retain his own, whatever it is, sure I don’t know, and I'll tell you this”—and here Mr. Plummer lowered his tone and the reporter thought he was going to name the coming cabinet in one. two. three order, when Mr. Plummer remarked: “I don't believe Mr. Harrison himself knows what his cabinet is going to be.” “There were several other dianapolis to see Mr. not?” “Several!” though slightly overcome. flocks of them, droves of them.

Ex-Senator Arkell and his party, who advo- appointment, have also re- turned, and a dispatch from Canajoharie, which has evidently been prepared, as it is the same in all the papers, gives the ex-Senator’s impressions as to his visit as follows: “We went to Indianay Harrison, and present to Gen. Harrison a disinterested state- lis on the invitation of Gen. ad no other motive than to ment of the republican situation in New York and speak in the interest of the solidarity of arty. The usual impression is that Mr. Harrison is a polite but reticent man, courte- the ous but impenetrable. So far as our experi- ence is concerned this would be a misinterpre- tation of his character. He discussed with great copiousness and clearness the New York situation, and by evident indication, without statement, left the impression that he was not only elected President but proposed so to be. That this state will receive recognition seems placed beyond doubt, but what portfolio and to whom tendered is to be shown in the future, Inferences might be drawn from the conversa- It would not, however, be just to crystal- lize a conjecture into a statement. tion. That is the prerogative of the gentleman who has, so far, carefully kept his own counsel, and kept it without assistance.” A SPECIAL MESSENGER SENT EAST. The Sun’s special says: Gen, Harrison has sent a messenger to New York upon cabinet business. A man whose identity is not dis- closed, but who is said to be a comparative stranger to eastern even this ai his mission secret. He off in Buffalo, where he will visit Mr. Alexander, the young lawer, who acted as Gen. Harrison’s private secretary during the cam- paign. It is supposed that Mr. Alexander may accompany him to New York and aid him in executing his mission. Theopinion among the liticians here continues to be adverse to ‘latt, and some are even predicting that Miller will get there. The ajority favor the idea that there will be a compromise on a third man. Cornelius N. Bliss is most named for that contingency. GEN. HARRISON ON “BOODLE.” The New York Times correspondent says that Gen. Harrison, when Mr. Plummer and Com- modore Bateman were there, spoke to them about the story published in the Mail and Ez- press charging that Platt had taken $150,000 out of the republican “boodle” election, with the cheerful remar tounded associates: just before to his as- “Gentlemen, you don't want to know what is going to be done with this.” Gen. Harrison expressed his sore- ness over the charges that he had been elected by “boodle,” and manifested a great deal of indignition at the insinuations in some quar- ters that he countenanced anything kind. Hesayshe did not. He believed the American — only t of the that ple were in favor of the h of republican principles, and that the ing necessary during the campai the employment was proper means to bring out the full republican vote. The great use of money, Gen. Harrison remarked, must neces- sarily create scandal, and it was utterly uncalled for by the situation, as he und ONE PART OF THE INAUGURAL, The Sun says that Gen.

The Indiana senate chamber at Indianapolis ‘was yesterday the scene of a violent alter- cation, which would probably have ended in blows but for a precipitute adjournment. The republicans had been raaking things unpleas- @nt for the majority by filibustering tactics. Johnson led in tis business, and when & propo- sition to appoint twenty extra doorkeepers was up he wanted to amend it so as to require all the appointees to be ex-Union soldiers. There- upon Senator Smith, a democrat, sarcastically remarked that such a motion came with bad grace from aman who had at the last sess iom struck an aged Union soldier with his fist. This referred to an occurrence in the senate cham- ber two years ago, for which the senate then censured Johnson. Johnson retorted, «That is untrue.” and when Senator Griffiths, democrat, said, “You know it is true.” Johnson turned upon him fiercely and exclaimed, “You are liar!” There was a scene of great confusion, but quiet was finally restored. A short time afterward Senator Griffiths arose toa question of privilege and apologized to the senate for his unparliamentary conduct. Then, turnin; 1d shaking his fist at Johnson, he exclaimed: “But I hope I shall never sink so low as to make a bully and a blackguard of myself.” Johnson sprang up, livid, and retorted: “The senator makes use of his place here to use lam- guage that he would not to use outside the chamber,” and started toward Griffiths. It looked asthough blood would have to flow, but friends sprang between, and somebody moved an adjournment. Lieut.-Gov. Chase declared the senate adjourned. Democrats threaten to expel Johnson on the ground that he is a dangerous man. co SOME FACTS ABOUT LEMONS. Sources of the New York Supply—The Florida Fruit Said to be the Best. From the New York Evening Post. A well known fruit dealer in Vesey street was applied to by a reporter of the Evening Post, the other day, for some information in regard to the lemon trade in this city. In reply, he said: “Most of the lemons we get in this mar- ket come from Naples, Sorrento, Rodi and Messina. From each of these ports they are shipped by way of Liverpool. Some are sent in sailing vessels, but not many, as such are not apt to arrive in good condition. Steamers, on account of their superior speed, carry most of the foreign fruits. Great quantities of lem- ons ere sold here by auction, the sales of a sin- gic day often amounting to 40,000 or 50,000 oxes. The price they bring depends entirely upon their quality and the quantity in the mar- ket. Sometimes they are ‘a drug,’ and scarce- ly bring enough to pay the freight on them, and again $14 to $16 a box is not an unusual price. Dealers here do not keep regular agents at the points of shipment, but the fruit is shipped on speculation. An ordinarily good price is $6 a box. The season for the gathering of Italian lemons is at its height between Feb- ruary and March. Some lemons will not keep over a month at the outside, while others that are firm and hard will remain in good condi- tion for four months. The Messina are the best Italian lemons and will keep the longest. The Palermos rank next, while the poorest, as a general thing, come from Naples. There is, however, no rule by which one can be sure that lemons from one place will uniformly be better than those from another. Naples lemons have been known to bring more than those shipped from Messina. Dealers know no special varie- ties of lemons, but simply lump them under the names of the places from which they come. Some people have an idea that lemons are col- ored and ripened by sulphur fumes and arti- ficial heat, Such notions are entirely wrong. Lemons, when they are sent from home, are a8 green and hard as an infant apple, but ripen during the voyage, so that when they arrive they are as soft and juicy as if they had matured upon the tree, “The best lemons we get in New York come from Florida. They are naturally of « prime quality, and then the distance they have to be sent is not great. The possibilities before the Florida growers are extensive, and, if care is taken by them in sorting and picking, they may in time run the Italian product out of the market. The Florida lemons are packed in boxes holding about 250 or 300 apiece. They begin tocome in November. We t very few South American lemons, because they are too tender to stand the voyage. Small quantities are sent from Jamaica, but the limes shipped from there are growing in popu- larity constantly, and are a much more im port- ant product of that island than the lemons, Limes must be packed tightly in barrels to pre- vent bruising. I suppose there are twenty-five barrels of limes shipped now where there were three ten years ago. In a general way it may perhaps be said that better lemons grow on igh ground than on low, but. as I said before, each season, place, and individual tree seems to be a law unto itself. We can never tellim advance where we are to get the best fruit,” eee What to Eat. Eliza R. Parker, in the Housewife. There are few subjects of the day around which cluster so many theories as that of food. It is not alone the quantity, but the quality, 0” what one eats that satisfies the appetite and nourishes the body. No housekeeper has mas- tered the art of cooking who does not know something of the chemical elements of food, and the purpose it serves when taken into the system, and it is icularly important that she should know what will best supply the real needs of her growing family, as the more per- fectly itis adapted to their wants the more vigorous will be the body, and more perfect the development of muscle, nerve and brain. The first consideration in the selection and preparation of food is to know what is to the uliar condition of those to be fed; the child requires food com; d of different elements from that which best suits the adult, while the diet of the brain-worker who leads a sedentary life, and whose work makes heavy demands on the nervous system, should vary from that of the man of active pursuits, whose business calls him into the open air and fur- nishes him with exercise. The use of knowl- e in cooking is to teach how to supplement one kind of food for another which contains the needed elements in which the first is deficient. ; The substance richest in muscle-miaking is albumen, and is contained in the white of an egg and the lean of meat. The carbon needed to sustain the heat of the body is most abund- ant in vegetables and cereals, which furnish a large amount of starch;oil is also of import- ance in supplying carbon to the system, but does not nourish the muscle. Butter is the least objectionable of all fats; beef fat is more wholesome than lard, whfle the fat from salt pork and smoked bacon is less injurious than that from the fresh pork. Carbon is also plied by the use of sugar, which in modet quantities has no ill effect. Nearly ail fruits are rich in sugar, hence their worth as food cheese and some vegetables.
