THE SECRET Or “THE STORM. The Cyclone and Its Habits Described by Mr. Hayden. THE REGION OF HUKRICANES—HOW THEY ARE FORMED AND SWEEP ACHOSS THE SEA—THE RE- CENT DISASTER AT APIA—AN INTERESTING TALK aT THE MUSEUM. The lecture hall of the National museum was unnaturally dark Saturday afternoon. in contrast to the bright sunlight without, trying with little success to peep in at odd corners and cracks to see what folks could want to shut them out for. The few sun-rays that did get in heard a voice in the darkness, the full-round tones of a man, who was telling the crowd of people seated before him about “Tropical cy- clones,” a subject that should have been vastly interesting to the sun-beams’ children, as they are of the cause of all storm and calm. The man talking away in the dark, occasionally pointing to a screen on which some diagram or picture flashed out, was Mr. Everett Hayden, a retired officer of the navy, now in charge of the division of marine meteorology of the tydrographie office, and his lecture was one of the course of popular scientific talks that are given on Saturdays at the museum. His remarks, he promised. would be confined to the facts that are known regarding the ter- Titic storms called tropical cyclones, their gen- eral character, the regions where they occar, the paths they follow, their danger to com- merce and how navigators endeavor to avoid them altogether. or if overtaken how ther maneuver so as to suffer as little damage as possible, THE HURRICANE REGIONS he gave in the order of relative importance as toliows: the West Indies, South Indian ocean (east of Madagascar), China seas, Bay of Ben- gal, south Pacific (east of Australia), Arabian sea, and the west coast of Mexico. He de- scribed a tropical cyclone to be *‘a great spirally ascem whirl in the atmosphere. not unlike the spirally descending whirl in water that we call an oaty. It forms in the tropics (rarely nearer the equator than the 10th parallel), most frequently during the summer months: rotates in @ direction against the hands of a watch in the northern hemisphere, and with them in the southern; moves westward in the tropics, pole- ward into the temperate zone. and. eastward again in bigher latitudes.

The lecturer had occasion to mention the United States signal service and said: “I fear that occasional disappointment at some little -lip in predictions of ‘local showers’ sometimes blinds us to the magnificent work our weather bureau has carried on for the past twenty-five years.” The bay of North America (the gulf of Mexico and outward and northward) he said was the greatest hurricane region of the world classic ground to the student of meteorology. for it was here that the first discoveries were ule of the laws of storms and the foundations {the science were laid by Redfield, a quiet New England student, as early as 1821. lus- trating the law of the relative frequency of hurricanes, by months, he quoted the old say- ing of the sailors: -‘June. too soon; July. stand by; August, look out you must: September, remember; October, al! over.” Yet, he added, uurricanes occur every month of the year, reaching ——- meximam in At it. and in fact thanksgiving services are held in many churches in the West Indies—notably at St. ‘Thomas. October 25—at the close of the hurri- eme season. Padre Vines, the eminent meteorologist of Havana, who, he said, probably knows more about the habits of these storms than an uther living man, said to him last fall that there are very few exceptions, so far as true hurricanes are coucerned, to the laws f their paths across the islands. THE PASSING OF THE STORM. Mr. Hayden gaye this vivid description of the passing of a storm in the distance: “Shortly after noon, November 26, I was walking through Lafayette square. and looked up at the clouds overhead. Something I saw there caught my attention. Only recently I had been studying cloud movements indicative of hurricanes in Cuba, and I recognized the symp- toms im an instent. Upon looking toward southeast, down the Potomac. toward the dis- tant horizon. { saw a nniform, gray veil of clouds, deepening in intensity toward a cer- tain definite point in the horizon, where it was quite dark. Little cumulus clouds were fying across from left to right. The wind was about northeast. while these low clouds were moving from east northeast, and the fine cirrus clot overhead were moving with sreat velocity from southeast. I actually felt a startled feeling, half astonishment, half alarm, tor if this were Cuba almost the entire popu- lation would be watching the clouds acd dis- cussing the chances of safety of life and limb daring the next twenty-four hours. instead of strolling around with the blissful ignorance and nenchalease Isaw about me. For weeks after- wardsthe papers were filled with accounts of the fearful experiences of vessels off our coasts in ibis furious hurricane that advanced from the tropics, and moved up the gulf stream toward the Grand Banks. Perhaps at that very time the steamer S a, anda dozen other vessels that went down with all on board were fighting for life some 200 miles to the southeast of us here in Washington. I mention this to impress upon you the fact that there are certain symp- toms by means of which the presence and vio- lence of a hurricane can be recognized at a distance.” SIGNS OF THE COMIXG CYCLONE. Mr. Hayden quoted as follows from an article be has prepared on this subject: “Great ac- tivity of movement of the upper clouds, while the storm is still distant, indicates that the hur- ricane is of great violence, just «s the rushing currents in the rapids below Nisgara mark the tremendous energy of the great cataract that is theirsource. A man like Vines can diagnose un approaching cyclone, recognize its symp- toms, judge of its character, intensity and path, as a skilled doctor in the tropics can dis- tinguish @ case of ye iow fever from mild at- tack of typhoid. Sometimes there are several— many—days warning. First, barometer above the normal, with cool, dry, fresh winds and very transparent atmosphere: these mark the postage of of the attendant anti-eyclone. In a day wr two the pressure falls slowly but steadily. Soon the beautiful feathéry cirrus clouds ap- pear; if somewhat faint and opalescent in tint, fading gradually behind « slowly thickening lage-or veil, the approaching storm is un oki one: of large area, md has crossed the entire ocean, perchance, on its westward journey, If theeirrus plames are of mowy whiteness, pro- jected against a clear bine sky, it is a young cyclone just growing into its full strength and tury.

Intimate friends of the governor said that the marriage would take place ‘within a reasonable time,” and that it may be next month.

The Hawaiian Princess Victoria Kainlan niece of King Kalakaua and second in succe: sion to the throne of Hawaii, will pass through the United States this month on her way to England for a visit of a few months. It is not the wish of the king of Hawaii that her visit should be considered official in any way. She will, therefore, travel incognita until her re- turn from England next spring, when she will visit Washington and pay her Fespects to the President and his family as a royal personage. The princess goes to England attended by Mre. J. R. Walker, wife of the British vice-consul at Honolulu. On her return she will be accom- panied by her father, Mr. A. T. Clayhorn, a resident of Honolulu for many yeara. The mother of her royal highness was ‘the Princess Likelike, sister of the king. who died about two years ag Princess Kainlani was born October 16, 1875, and is consequently nearly fourteen years of age, and is represented 2s graceful and handsome, not lacking in dignity, while agreeable in manner, She will probably reach San Francisco May 11 and sail from New York about 5 June 2 The Vi alkyrie Will Come.

Coghlan, pastor of St. Peter's Catholic parish, at Reading, Pa., last night delivered an address before St. Peter's total abstinence society, in which he took ground against prohibition, saying that it would destroy property, for which the owners would not be compensated, throw many men out of employment. and injure the material welfare of the state. He said that prohibition had failed —— tried, and that it fosters a disregard for the law. He favored the strong enforcement of the Sunday law, The Difference ix ina Nut Si Shell. | From the New York Herald, A great many scientific men have desctibed in stately phrase the characteristic differences between men and women, Mrs. Frank Leslie, in an article on “Women’s Clothes,” which we print elsewhere, sums them up, however, ina very piquant and satisfactory fashion.
