Tornadoes Come HuIe"'s ,Porlffit ,, „
To Join Hero Hall
HOUSTON', April 20. Recent
tornadoes over the United States
caused many inquires to be made
of the government weather bureau,
as to their origin. H. L. Daingei-
fleld, in charge of the bureau, ex-
plains the twister as follows^
'The connection between two
■such currents, "he said, "dragging
in material from each other, ne-
cessarily produces rotation and al-
ways in the opposite directions to
that of the hands of a watch. In
short the tornado is a joint pro-
duct of cyclone and anti-cyclone—
low and high pressure area—gen-
erated by convection along a mid-
air wind shaft line. It does not
occur in tropical regions where the,
anti-cyclone is unknown."
