Both words are used to describ» storm conditions, but their meaning is dif ferent to the meteorologist Specifically, a cyclone is a storm which revolves around a slowly moving central area of compara tive calm It is the wind movement re sulting from the rush of air from an area of high barometric area of low pressure. Cyclones usually cover large expanses of territory, 1,000 miles being an pressure to an ordinary diameter, the wind around the center blowing often as high as thirty or even forty miles an hour, while the storm center of comparative calm moves forward very slowly, occasionally appearing to re- main stationary until “the atmospherie cquilibrium is restored. Cyclones move in regular order from west to east in the northern hemisphere, with the certainty of the scasons The tornado is the product of entirely different conditions As a rule the tornado Is a small affair, quickly d¢ veloped and as quickly dissipated It moves with great swiftness, eighty miles an hour being no uncommon gait for its dash through the country, while we have no accurate knowledge of the velocity of its revolution on its axis Certainly it spins with tremendous rapidity, a fact well attested by the ruin left in its path. Pecu liar atmospheric conditions are necessary to the genesis of the tornado. That these monsters of the air are of more frequent occurrence during the late spring and early summer is because at that time of the year the conditions are mcst favorable for their birth An unusually warm day in April, May or June hea's the lower stratum of air; it expands and seeks to rise, but is pressed down and held back by the colder and heavier strata above This pressure of itself begets heat, and heat is force. Compressed and struggling for up- ward relief, the stratum along the earth's surface becomes calm and oppressive. Sud- denly, somewhere in the superposed stratum of dense, cold alir, a rift is found or forced through which the heated air escapes with What a Bee Staff Artist Saw at the Modern Woodmen Memorial Exercises at Hanscom Park Last Sunday THE ILLUSTRATED SAMUEL JOE BROWN OF DES MOINES FIRST NEGRO TO RECEIVE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS AT I0WA STATE UNIVERSITY rush A current is gencrated and a counter current, and lo! the tornado is born, and out of the very conditions which make spring pleasant comes the destroyer I awful funnel, swathed in folds of dense clouds, is a storehouse of power beyond calculation Its coming, human ud len merely dissipation i 1 for the energy i and as it whirls in its mad carcer of devastation it is giving seeking off in the form of lightning and radiation of heat all the power it contains, so that an hour after the ominous piling up of clouds which presage the coming storm the sun may again shine brightly a'ong the path desolated by the tornado That tornadoes vary in size and de structiveness is proven by the illustrations published this week, which are made from photographs taken by H. Van Deusen of the Merchants’ and Farmers' bank of Seribner, Neb.,, on Saturday, May 24. On that day five distinct tornadoes were formed the of Scribner, three of which shown the pictures So far reported only only of these did any damage, the destruction of a barn east of the village being the only loss of property reported In his letter The Bee, companying the photographs, Mr. Van Deu “The occasion was most favor able for photographing, the sun shining on in vicinity are in as is one to ac- sen says the cloud bank when the twisters were forming and passing east, and it is un fortunate that we did not get more and better pictures Most of the residents were thinking of other things at that time, however."
