cant. The only entrances into this ba-
I sin from the ocean are the channel of
Yucatan and the Florida channel.
While either of these is wide enough to
permit the passage of a considerable
current of water, neither is sufficiently
wide to permit the passage of a vast sea
wave in bulk. Besides, no such wave
could possibly reach the \ ucatan chan-
nel, as it would be broken up and lev-
eled down by tte chan of islands,
banks and reefs that form the outer
rim of the basin of the Caribbean, while
the strait of Florida is prnt cted by the
Bahamas, and is also occupied by the
gulf stream flowing outward with a
strong current.

THE CYCLONE QUESTION.
Exemption of tlie Western Oulf
Coa«t from Destructive Morma.
The Cincinnati Commercial has paid
Major A. M. Lea the compliment of
publishing a summary of the articles
con'ributed fcy him to the News on cy-
clones and their ielation to the Texas
coast. As many persons may not have
read the Commercial's summary, it is
here reproduced, as revised and slightly
modified by a citizen more than ordi-
narily well versed in the subject dis-
cussed. Of course Major Lea is not re-
sponsible for the present form of the
essay:
TRACK G TIIE STORMS — THE GULF OF
MEXICO.
Major A. M. Lea, formerly of the
United States army, but now rtsiding
as a private citizen in Northern Texas,
has lately contributed to the Galveston
News a number of interesting articles
on cyclones, explaining the exemption
of the Texas coast, and of the whole
"western shore of the Gulf of Mexico,
from their destructive visitation. The
major adopts the now generally accept-
ed theory of the cause of cyclones, viz ,
the meeting of unequally heated cur-
rents and masses of air and water, the
uprush of the more heated and rarified
air, the inflow of the surrounding air,
and the resulting whirl or gyration
The uniform direction of this rotation
(which, in the northern hemisphere, is
the reverse of that of the hands of a
watch on the dial-plate) is attributed by
the major partly to the angle at which
the cooler currents of air and water,
setting towards the equator from the
sortheast, strike the warmer currents
coming from the east and south, and
partly to the configuration of the neigh-
boring land, which dt fleets the impinging
currents of air and water towards the
east, and so gives a rotary impulse in
that direction.
But a cyclone does not simply rotate
upon its axis. The axis also moves,
and the cyclone, thus getting under
way, becomes -a hurricane, which the
major aptly calls " a cyclone on its
travels." This movement of the axis
is also very nearly uniform in
its direction, so that, the place
of the origin of the cyclone being
given, the path of the hurricane is
fixed within certain narrow limits of
variation. The hurricanes of the Al-
lantic, Caiibbean and Gulf of Mexico
move in curved tracks, that, starting in
a northern or northwestern direction,
bear around more and more by the
north toward the east, until they finally
take a northeast course. The mijir
accounts for this by saying that the
gulf stream, with its tract of warm
water and warm and rarified air, pur
sues nearly the same curve, while the
upper air currents (the trade winds on
their return to the pole) have also a
northerly course, trending more aad
more to the east, and the hurricanes,
following the path of lent resistance, con-
form more and more closely, as their
first violence gradually spends itself, to
the course thus marked out for tham.
The major distributes the cyclones of
which he speaks into three classes, ac
cording to their violence and area of
disturbance. Those of the first class—
the grand cyclones—originate in the
Atlantic ocean, off the northern coast of
South America and near the tenth de-
gree of north latitude, where the north-
east and southeast trades meet under a
vertical sun at the season when the
great hurricanes chiefly occur. Their
course is at first northwestward—'.he re-
sultant of the forces of the currents of
air and water that produce them—
across the Windward and Leeward
islands, which receivo their first and
greatest fury. Their path then veers
gradually more into the north, until it
meets the Gulf stream, whose norih
easterly flow it follows across the At-
lantic to the shores of Northern Europe.
Sometimes, though more rarely, these
hurricanes pass to the westward of the
Windward islands, and sweeping dis
astrously across the Greater Antilles
and the Bahamas, strike the Gulf stream
not very far northeast of the Strait of
Florida
Cyclones of the second class originate
in the Caribbean Ssa. Their greatly in-
ferior violence and shorter course and
duration are owing to the more limited
scale of nature's operations in that con-
fined sea—a mere pond as complied
with the Atlantic Ocean. The path of
these hurricanes, is through the Carib-
bean, across Cuba and along our Atlan-
tic coast. Sometimes following that
branch of the Gulf Stream which passes
out of the Caribbean around the west-
ern point of Cuba, they bear far enough
to the west to strike our Eastern Gulf
States, in whose forest regions they
goon lose their force.
Cyclones of the third class have their
origin in the Gulf of Mexico—a much
more limited field of operations than
the Caribbean. These are caused by
the relatively cool currents of water
coming westward around Yucatan into
the shallow and super-heated waters
along the northern and western shores
of that peninsula. Their course is
pretty nearly that of the western branch
of the Gulf Stream—first westward,
but gradually veering to the north
and east. Sometimes they do not reach
the coast at all, but pas3 with the gulf
stream around the western and northern
portions of the gulf, and close by the
louths of the Mississippi to the Florida
lannel. Sometimes they reach the
cost—usually between Tampico and the
northern point of Padre Island, at which
point the gulf stream makes a turn to
the east; —* *•—
and turning to the east at Corpus
Christi inlet, flows past the mouth of
the Mississippi, there is a counter cur
rent running westward at the rate of
two miles an hour. Thi3 in-shore cur-
rent carries with it the wa'er of the
great river, loaded with drift and silt.
The drift is driven by the prevailing
wind of that region against the western
coast of Louisiana, and in the course of
time his extended that coast fully fitly
miles further out than the coast east of
the Mississippi passes, and has pro
duced the " terre tremblante" of Atta-
kapas, which is really a raft of logs and
earih and grass, afloat on deep water
full of blind fish. The silt is gradually
deposited as the current is retarded by
the tidal waters. Thus a great area of
mud is formed, barely raided ab >ve the
usual gulf level. Last Llacd is a part,
of that area. It is but the lightest of
the silt of the river droppea on the edge
of the deep water—a projecting mud-
bank unsheltered from the rusb of wind
and waves across the whole breadth
of the gulf. But from this pn j ction
ihe coast sweeps inward and westward
in a curve along Louisiana and Texas
to Corpus Christi Inlet, whence in an-
other curve, not so sharp p.s the shore-
curve, and almost forming a curve to
the latter, the gulf stream sweeps east-
ward close to the mouth of the Missis-
sippi. Between these two curves there
is a crescent, which attains a width of
1 ally sixty miles abreast of Galveston
Island. All this space :'s fi it, nowhere
over fifty feet deep. Its average depth
does not exceed six fathom", and it
gradually shoals toward the shore. The
larger waves generated in deep water
are retarded by the faction of the
ground in passing over this broad and
shallow slope, and at a considerable
distance from the shore are shattered
into waves of little size and force. By
this natural breakwater Galveston is
protected against a violent sweep of
the waters of the gulf. Take into ac-
count two other facts, that Galveston
Island has a greater eleva'ion than Last
Island, and that, like the other islands
fringing the Texas coast, it is based on
firm strata, while its surface is as com-
pact as that of the adjacent mainland,
and the wide contrast, in m ist impor-
tant respects, between the two islands
h obvious enough. It is safe to say
that Galveston Island will be whelmed
when all lower Texas is whelmed, and
not before.

NEWS OFFICE, 1
Saturday Evening. March 2. 1878. f
The business thoroughfares wore a livelier
look to-day, and representatives from various
interior points were in the market familiar-
izing themselves with the stocks of spring
good8 which have been arriving freely during
tbe past couple of weel s. A very
conservative feeling prevails among
representatives of the lower por-
tions of the State, and especially those sec-
tions that had short cropj this year. This
feeling is evidenced in a determination to
carry small stocks of staple?, and low as
prices are, tbey are not tempting to cash pur-
chasers, and are not urged upDn those who
have only good prospects to offer as collateral
for their promises. This feeling is
being pushed to such en extreme
that it only intensifies and aggravates an
already provoking want of confidence, the
trustworthy merchant is too often made to
suffer for the shortcomings of his neighbors;
but the process of weeding out the weak and
unreliable has progressed rapidly of late, and
althougn the ordeal has been a trying ona to
m*ny, it will leave trade in a healthier, even
if weaker condition.
Trade must soon revive, and ia ihe mean-
time it is safe to assert that good character
will become as much a prerequisite to busi-
ness as capit al.
The general market presented no new fea
tures of interest to-day, but in the markets
for State products there has been considerable
animation. Hides have been in active de.
maud, and liberal transactions have occurred
on a basis of 16c. for desirable lots of dry se-
lected.
The cotton market showed much more aci*
mation, in response to firmer markets in ail
directions. Sales amounted to nearly three
thousand bales, buthaif this amount was com-
prised in one list, aud it was the largest list
sold this season.
Gold declined to 101% at New York, but
closed at 105&. U. S. 5-2Us advanced in Lon-
don to 106^, an improvement cf ^c since last
evening.
In the grain market, a decline in oats is re-
ported. Arrivals continue free, and tbe home
demand Is well supplied. Hav is arriving
freely, and offering at a small concession on
previous prices.
COTTON.
There has been a marked improvement In
the tone of the market to day, and s^les
amounted to 2892 bales, at unchanged quota-
tions.
Spot advanced l-!6 at New York, and futures
are higher. Liverpool advanced the figures
for arrivals, and spot was reported steadier-
New Orleans is firmer, and this market closed
"steady" at the annexed:
