CYCLONES AND TORNADOES
A 0Y010NE MAY INCLUDE SEVEEAL
NESTS OF TOBNADOES.
How the Cisco Oyclone Came Up—Texas
la Earaly Visited By These Storms.
June Is the Tornado Month.
Dr. Cline, of the United States weather bu-
reau, when approached by a News reporter
on the subject of the severe local wind storiua
which have recently occurred in the northern
part of Texas, said:
"There is ono matter which I dosiro to call
attention to in connection with the names ap-
plied to such storms. The term tornado is
not synonymous with cyclone and hurricane,
yet as a rule newspapers and' the public gener-
ally apply one or the other term to either of the
class without discrimination. The terms cy-
clone and hurricane refer to the same class of
storms. These are large circular areas of
low pressuro ranging from twenty or thirty
to several hundred miles in diameter, with
wind circulating around the center from
right to left, or contrary to the hands of a
watch. The term hurricane is usually used
to denote an unusually sovere cyclone.
"Tornadoes are small storms ranging from
a few hundred feot to one or two miles in
diameter. It is estimated that the average
width of tornadoes is about half a mile. Tor-
nadoes boar a close relation to cyclones; that
is, whon these intense narrow storms are re-
ported they are always found to have oc-
curred in a cyclonic area, and, as a rule, in
the southeast quadrant of such cyclone.
"Water spouts and whirlwinds are incipient
tornadoos.
"The conditions preceding and accompany-
ing the tornado that occurred at Cisco on
April 28 last were as follows: On April 27 an
area of low pressure was making its appear-
ance over tho central portion of the eastern
elope of the Rocky mountains, with the
greatost depth in the vicinity of Denver, Col.
An area of high pressure was central over
the Ohio valley, with the barometer above 30
inches east of the 95th meridian. By the
evening of April 28
the cyclone
had increased in intensity and moved south-
east to central and north Texas. The high
pressure had shifted from the Ohio valley to
the south Atlantic states and another high
pressure area had moved in over the central
and northorn portions of the eastern llocky
mountain slope. A trough of low pressure
extended from the cyclonio area over Texas
northeast between the two areas of high
pressure to tho lower lakes. The center of
the cyclone was north of Abilene at 8 p. m.
and moving slowly eastward. This would
place Cisco in the southeast quadrant of the
cyclonic area at the time the tornado oc-
curred.
"Our voluntary observer, Mr. J. A. Fedde-
man. at Eastland, went down to Cisco and
rendered a report on the tornado. He says
that the tornado occurred at 9.30 p. m., cen-
tral time. It was accompanied by a funnel
shaped cloud, heavy rain, hail three inches in
circumference and incessant, vivid, zigzag
lightning. There were two clouds which came
together west of the town and there was a
tremendous roar accompanying the storm. It
moved from southwest to northeast. The
track over which it traveled was thirtoen
miles in length and three-fourths of a mile
wide.
"This was tho fourth destructive tornado
which had occurred in Texas within tho past
twenty years. Sevoral mild tornadoes have
been reported from different parts of Texas,
but Resulting in very little damage. Texas is
considered by those who have studied the
question unusually free from tornadoes.
General Greely says: This immunity of tho
state from tornadoes could be told theoreti-
cally, first, because Texas is rarely subjected
to meteorological conditions favorable to the
development of such storms, and second,
owing to the fortunate situation of tho state
with reference to the passage of low area
storms, in tho southeast quadrant of which
tornadoes usually occur.'
"No season or month is exempt from tor-
nadoes. Summer ia the season of greatest
frequency, and
june 18 the month
in which the greatest number ocour. Tor-
nadoes are likely to occur at any hour of the
day, but they are most frequent from 6 to 6
p. m., and the greatest number occur in the
afternoon.
"Tornadoes have both a progressive and a
gyratory movement. The progressive move-
ment ranges from ten to seventy miles per
hour and averages about thirty miles. The
gyratory movement (the movement of tho air
in the tornado) has been variously estimated
at from fifty miles per hour to nearly 1000
miles per hour. In a study of the character
of 600 tornadoes by Lieutenant J. P.
Finely, United States army, in 1881, ho found
135 which were unusually destructive, and
were distributed by states as follows: Kansas
25, Illinois 15, Iowa 12, Missouri 12, Ohio 7,
Wisconsin 7. Nebraska 6, Oklahoma 5, Michi-
gan 5, Mississippi 5, Arkansas 4, Georgia 4,
Minnesota 3, Pennsylvania 3, Louisiana 2,
' North Carolina 2, Tennessee 2, Connecticut 1,
Maryland 1, Texas 1 and Virginia 1."
When asked why the weather bureau did
not forecast tornadoes, the doctor replied:
"When conditions on the weather map indi-
cate tornadoes for any part of tho country,
a forecast of severe local storms is made for
that territory. Such forecasts have been
made provious to tho occurrence of nearly ail
tho severe local storms which have visitod
north Texas and Oklahoma during tho past
month. It is true that wo make no attompt
to foretell the exact spot where tho storm will
Btriko. There are sometimes nests of torna-
doos, each several milos from tho other, in
tho southoast quadrant of a cyclone. Each
individual tornado is confinod to very narrow
limits, and, while wo do not now attempt to
toll the exact spot where a tornado will striko,
this may be dono in tho near future."
In reply to a question about tornadoos near
tho coast, Dr. Olino stated that conditions
raroly exist near tho coast which would give
tornadoes of any intensity. Wator spouts
and strong whirlwinds may occur in this sec-
tion, but no foar of sovoro and destructive
tornadoes may bo entertained.
THE WATER COMMITTEE.
They Did Not Do Anything Exoept
Talk.
Tho joint committoo on fresh water mot last
evening at 4 o'clock. Present: President
Nowson, Commissioners Hayos, Reppon,
Schneider, Aldermen Fowler, Schmidt and

mitteo stated to the representative of tho Holly
company that tho city could pay $12,000 cash
about March 31,1894, and the balance in two
annual payments at 0 per cent iutoresc. ThiB
proposition was, after about ahalf hour of
talk, wired to tho Holly company.
Then tho inattors of pumphouso, rosorvoir,
etc., woro takon up and another lot of talk
and explanations made, and a lot of questions
were asked and answered and objocted to.
Nothing was dono but to adjourn to Monday

REP0ET ON THE CHARACTER OF THE
APPROACHES.
Facts and Figures Presented to the Com-
missioners by the Chamber of Gom-
meroe Committee,
The following is tho report of the chambor
of commerce committee on public improve-
ments, submitted to that body at the meeting
on Friday night, in reference to tho ap-
proaches to the wagon bridge across Galves-
ton bay, now in course of construction:
Galveston. May 12,—Chairman and Directors I,
Chamber of Commorce — Gentlemen: Your com-
mittee on public improvements, withO. H. Mc-
Master added, beg leavo to renort that they quite
thoroughly and carefully investigated ttie matter
of the approaches to the bay wagon bridge, which
was referred to them, and at tho meeting of the
county commissioners, hold last Wednesday, the
10th, in accordance with your instruction, a full
statement of all such points as we could secure
were placod before that body, as set forth in tho
following pages: »
We foar that the county has already gone so far
into contracting for the timber approaches that
it will hardly bo possiblo to withdraw or chango
the plans, even if it should bo deemed advisable,
unless tho full consent of the contractors could
be obtained, without oxtra cost, and wo are in-
clined to think that it can bo. Respectfully sub-
mitted, C. H. McMasters,
Joiin N. Stowe,
Of Committoo.
Following are the points presented to the
county commissioners by the committee:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: Wo como
from tho chamber of commerce to submit to
your honorable body a few facts and figures boar-
ing upon tho character and cost of tho approaches
to the wagon bridge now boing constructed
across the bay. As bridge construction has not
entered into the duties ot tho board of commis-
sioners of this county to any great extent thus
far, we trust that anything that might assist you
in acquiring for your constituents the best and
most durable work for the least money; would be
acceptable to you.
From tho daily papers wot learned that you
contemplated contracting for pile and timber ap-
proaches to bo constructed across tho low lands
along each shore, in addition to the approaches
of the same materials in the main structuro, as
contracted for. As the use of wood or other per-
ishable material in tho construction of wagon and
railroad bridgos is avoided wherever possible, end
earth or othor comparatively imperihsable ma-
terials substituted, oven though tho first cost
may be considerably greater, we trust thdt it
may be found advisable, in this case, to adopt
the latter character of aoproaches. i. e., extend
tho earth roads across tho low lands to tho bridge
instead of building tho bridgo out over thoso
lands to tho roads upon tho higher grounds.
Though tho amount involved in this additional
contract is not very great, it is probably noedloss
to suggest that its outlay should be upon as
sound business principles as though it was many
timos greater. We believe, gontlemen, that tho
price of por lineal foot, or $7500 for the two
timber approaches, aggregating a little less than
a quarter of a mile, is fully equal to the outlay
necessary to till in the same space with oarih
roads woll built and properly protected, that
would long outlast timber, tho life of which in
this locality is placod by railroad officials and
engineers of experience at from sovon' to eight
yoars. This of course would not includo tho
ilooring, which would wear out more rapidly
from the traffic upon it.
We desire to call your attention to tho fact that
the plan under which tho main bridge is being
constructed contemplates carrying tho pile and
timbor approaches, contracted for in connection
with tho bridge, clear out to the shores at either
end at the same high level grade of the iron
structure, which necessitates a more oxnensivo
timber or earth road to connect it with the nigh
lands on each side than would be necessary if the
timber portions of the bridgo were incliued to-
ward the shore for a few hundred feot at either
ond, at a rate of say ono foot in a hundred,
thereby reducing tho height to about ono-half of
the present plan, or to say about six feet at
each shore above the lowlands, across which you
are now seeking to arrange for a road.
We submit, gentlemen, that if this chango be
made in the plans—and tho contractors would be
only too glad to acouiesce, as it would somewhat
decrease the cost of construction to them—the
cost of building a suitablo earth road that
would be practically imperishable can bo reduced
oven below tho cost of a pile and timber aifair
that would have to be renowed every few years at
great expense.
The bridge is eiglitoon feet wide in tho clear,
hence an earth roadway twonty feet in width on
top to connect therewith would be ample; with
slopes of one and a half to one on either side
and a height of about six feet at the bridge you
w< u d have about six and one-half cubic yards of
material to each lineal foot of completed road-
way. As the incline in the grade would continue,
the height and width of tho embankment would
materially decreaso as tho higher land was ap-
proached, honco thoso figures as a basis would
Estimating five and one-half cubic yards of the
six and one-naif yards, por lineal foot, at 40 cents
per yard for sand filling in place in the roadbed,
and you have $2 20 per lineal foot; to this add
one cubic yard, or about eight inches all over the
top and sides of the embankment, of shell at 12
oents per barrel, or 80 cents per cubio yard, and
you will have a total cost of out $3 per linoal foot
for a shell covered earth roadbed, six feet high
by twenty wide, with slopes of one and a half to
one, and something that will undoubtedly last, as
against the short lived timber construction at
about double the first cost, and all of the earth
and shell road cau bo constructed by local con-
tractors.
We would suggest that the sand necessary for
such work might be obtained by a considerable
enlargement of the ditches on either side of tho
wairon road on tho higher ground beyond the
socalled approaches, whero it is an easy matter
to secure additional right of, way over that ac-
tually required for tho traveled roadbed. Or a
dredge might be secured to raise and drop ma-
terial from the bay immed ately adjoining tho
bridge upon a platform built of a portion of the
bridge approach, that the present contractors
could bo requestod to put in placo at once for
that purpose; and from this platform easily
dumped or wheeled into place in tho roadbed.
Railroad embankments are being constructed
in this locality of much stiffor material than
sand and in ouantitios loss compact at a price
loss than one-half of the 40 cents upon which
those figures aro based, and tho additional ono-
half of this amount will moro than compensate
for an overhaul at, say, 1 cent per yard por 100
foot.
In case tho shell protection was not thought
sufficient, the difference betwoon $.1 and $i< per
lineal foot would allow for almost any additional
precautions thought nocessary and still leave
a balance in favor of tho substantial roadbed as
against the perishable and temporary one. A few
feotof nprap might possibly be used at tho lower
edge of the elope and sod—or possibly manuro
and grass seed—upon tho sides above, and then
the cost not bo increasod so as to chango tho
balanco against tho oarth roadway.
Wo do not come here to dictato to you, gontlo-
mon: but. as already stated, to offer somo sug-
gestions on the use of earth, well protected, in
tho roadway necossary to connect with tho
bridgo, and we hope that you will deem them
worthy of consideration if you havo not already
gono so far in the matter ot contracting for the
timber approaches that it is now too la to to make
a chango should it bo found advisable to do so.
