Who has not noticed, during a sultry summer nftcrnoon, tho llttlo whirl wind in tho middle of the dusty road, cniibcd by two breores coming down street thut come together? First thcro will bo seen a column of light dust rovolvlng upward; next, moving hero and there, it picks up btray bits of pnpor nnd leaves; then, as its whirling grows stronger nnd covers more ground, it adds to its strango col lection of objects small sticks and tufts of grass; at last away it goes, whirling and dancing its elfin waltz until some immovable object interferes with ita freedom of movement, when, llko n spoiled child, it ceases its wild play, tho vhirllng stops, and pouft down como tho sticks and leaves aud paper, and tho whirlwind is gono. In tho western states the same kind of whirlwinds grow to such propor tions that through tho thickest woods great tracks are mown as if cut by a triant soythe. But theso big storms very appropriately receive the mora dignified name of tornadoes. On tho ocean theso whirlwinds or tornadoes have, ot course, no dust or trees to toss about in thoir giant hands, so thoy scire upon and suck up the water as the only plaything they cun And, and, twisting it into aiong glitter ing ropo of trembling liquid, lift it up to the clouds, whence it is soon dispersed again in tho form of rain. When per forming such antlaStBh these, tho whirl wind or tornado is known as a water spout. The ship's crow, which has so pa tiently steered its craft by treacherous rocks, over dangerous shoals and through ull kinds of storm aud stress at sea, is often confronted by a. new and uucxpcctcd danger, tho water spout. It most often makes its appearance beneath a black and low ci ing sky, but sometimes they start up mysteriously in clear weather to move along tho ocean's rim in queer, fantastic atti tudes, looking for all tho world like captivo balloons dancing1 up nnd down and tugging at their ropes, now near the sea, now near tho sky. In tho straits of Malacca, and among tho many islands in tho China bca, they aro greatly dreaded by tho peaceful fishermen, who must often pull uji anchor nnd raco for tho shore to avoid tho unwelcome approach of theso giddy visitors, who fly hither and yon at their own sweet will, (minus rudder or pilot. I havo seon n waterspout make for a largo fleet of rico junks, and tho scat tering of tho queer-looking craft under their brown sails and doshlng sweeps looked comically llko tho flight of a flock of startled quail. Sometimes a spout can be broken by tho firing of n cannon closo by, and then tho singular hpcctaclo will often bo presented of tho uppor half of it go ing up into tho clouds while tho lower part subsides into tho sea. As most Chinese junks carry a number of guns and gongs, tho waterspout often gets tho worst of it in tho uproar that is Certain to salute one. St. Nicholas. How Air Resists n Locomotive. Experiments mado by tho scientists appointed for that purposo by tho French government, bhow that tho re sistance of tho atmosphere to tho mo tion of a high speed train often amounts to half tho total resistance which tho locomotivo must overcome. Two en gines, of which the resistance was measured repeatedly and found to be nineteen pounds per ton at thirty-sovon miles per hour, woro coupled together nnd again tried. In tho second trial tho resistance- foil to fourteen pounds per ton, the second ongino being shield ed from atmospheric resistance by the first It strikes mo that there is an idea for some inventor half unmasked in this item.
