WHIRL OF THE TORNADO.

Comparatively Harmless.
An uphill light for accurate English
la being waged year after year by sci­
entific authorities on the weather who
object to having the tornadoes which
rip through towns now and then or
carry away isolated farmhouses, call-
ed “cyclones." The distinction
by the experts in meteorology la plain.
' but the public la wedded to the “cjr-
clone.”
j The word baa gained wide accept-
a nee in describing the furious local
storms which rush forward along a

whirl with far greater velocity on a
center which may be only a few feet in
diameter. If a boy’s top is spun on

It la the spinning motion which is

vance of the storm may not be as rapid
as that o f many a comparatively harm­
less gale. The twisting motion is esti­
mated at not less than 200 miles an
hour in the worst tornadoes.
The true cyclone of the West Indies,
the China sea and other parts of the
tropics is entirely different. Its force
is spent in a furious wind that seems
to blow almoet straight ahead, while
the storm revolves, more or leas folly,
around a circle the circumference of
which may be many hundred miles. A
tornado wreaks its fury on a strip of
land usually only a mile or leas in
width. The cyclone sweeps scores or

Tha Journals ef Captain Soett, Da
Long, Livingstons, Franklin and Oth­
ers Are Mute Testimonials e f Thsir
Heroic Sacrifices For Beienee.
A peculiar and pathetic interest at­
taches to tbe last records o f lost ex­
plorers. dying alone and unaided amid
icy wildernesses or to the steaming
depths o f tropical Jangles.
The diary kept by the gallant Cap­
tain Scott teems with tragic touches,
but It also has its beautiful and its
heroic side. No more splendid instance
o f magnificent self sacrifice has been
recorded than the action o f tbe dis­
abled Captain Oates in seeking volun­
tary death in the bllxmard so aa not to
be a burden on his surviving compan­
ions
The world la richer In the poaaaeslon
of facta such aa these, which is why
tbe last diaries o f men dying in similar
circumstances have alw ays been ar­
dently sought and carefully treasured
It waa. for example, in order to try
to recover the papers belonging to
tbe lost arctic explorer Myllaa Erich
see ttyat Captain Mlkkelaeo recently
spent two aw ful years among the icy
solitudes of northeast Greenland. He
failed to his quest, and h « and hia
solitary companion came near to losing
their owp lives.
These Journals o f poor Brlchaen, If
they are ever found. will doubtless tell
a similarly stirring story to that left
behind by Scott. Until then there Is
only one record that closely parallels
i t and that la the diary left by the
American. De Lonff. who, with other
survivors from the arctic exploring
ship Jeannette, perished amid the fro-
aen wastes o f northeastern Siberia to
the winter o f 1881.
D e Long's diary, which w a s recov­
ered and baa been published, might
almost be a duplicate in parts o f that
kept by poor Scott.
Only to De IXing’s case the tragedy
was even more appalling than In
Scott's for his party consisted of no
few er than thirteen men. and these all
died from starvation and exposure.
The last entry reads aa follows: “One
hundred and fortieth day—Boyd * and
< torts died during tbe night Mr. Col­
lins dying.”
.
Tbe gallant De Long w as then left
with but one companion. Dr. Ambler,
tbe medical officer to the expedition,
for tbe deaths o f tbe other men had
been previously recorded, knd doubt­
less the two last o f tbe survivors died

point

By far the most dreadful tragedy o f
«retie exploration was the loss of the
Franklin expedition, when the ill fated
officers and men o f the two explor­
ing ship«. Erebus and Terror. 130
in all. perished.
Curiously enough,
tliough many relics of tbe 111 fated
commander Sir John Franklin were
recovered by search parties and are
now preserved to the museum attach­
ed to tbe Greenwich hospital, none of
bis dlariee or personal papers we
ever found.
One single written record of the lost
expedition remains to us. It is in the
form o f a sheet torn from a small
pocket diary, and these are the words
it contains: “ April 26. 1848.—Terror
and Erebus were abandoned. Sir John
FranUto died on June 11. 1847. and
the total loss by deaths np to this date
nine officers and fifteen men."
This precious scrap of paper waa die-
covered to a cairn on King William’s
island in the year 1868. There was no
signature, bat the handwriting w as
afterward identified as that of Cap­
tain Fftzjames. one o f filr John's of­
ficers.
In the tragic history o f exploration
no briefer record than this exists o f S
dlaaater ao appalling to Its magnitude,

crossed Australia, left behind them
