WILD WINDS,
PROFESSOR HALL ON TORNADOES
AND CYCLONES.
Sow the Wild Winds Sweep Over the Country Car
rying Destruction With Them—Whet e Tor-
ntdo Looks Like to a 1C an at a Safe Dis
tance-Some Good Stories.
'Yesterday a Constitution reporter took
passage oti the Kimball house elevator and
went up to aee Sergeant Hall for the purpose
of finding oat the ailment of the elements
which of late have been blowing dust in the
eyes, ears and noses of Atlantians. Sergeant
Hall has a cozy little room away up on the
top of the Kimball bouse, around on the
northeast corner. One would think that he
was outtif reach of the dust, but he opened
the conversation by saying:
“My office was in the midst of the dust
Wednesday night. That was a right lively
wind. I think, however, that we were only
in the lower edge of it, and that it must have
been blowing much harder up above us. We
could not see what was going on of course. It
was night, but even if it hau been in the day
time the dust wits too thick tobc seen through.
All above the Kimball was a dense mass of
dust, and the wind was so high tiiat when my
assistant went out on the top of the building
he bed to cling to the pole to'keep from being
blown off, and yet that wind was blow
ing at the rate of only thirty-
eight miles an hour. But on the lTth,
you remember, we had a heavy wind.
It went 49 miles an hour. It was about half-
jmsl two o’clock when the gale struck the
town, and it lusted about fifteen minutes. I
am sure that we did not feel the full force of
this wind, cither.”
SIMPLE .WIND.
“What do you call such winds as tlie ones
with which we are being served daily now?”
“They are simply winds, that is all. They
are baby tornadoes and tornadoes are baby
cyclones. Have you ever seen a whirlwind?
Well, a whirlwind is a baby tornado. We
don’t have cyclones in this country. But
have aeon them in the West Indies. There
they sweep over the country and leave a truck
a hundred miles wide. Here we have torna
does and their tracks are not more than a mile
or so wide. In the Indies I have .seen
cyclones lift o twelve 'pounder and throw it
fifty yards. That'is a pretty lively way to
throw a cannon around. In this country the
tornudoes have been traveling from west
to east in a general direction. They usually
run off the soul burn border of areas of low
barometer. These areas extend over the
whole western country. Certain conditions
always precede these storms. There is usually
quite a long period of meteorological quiet.
From two weeks to a month soft, warm, moist
winds will blow from the 'Gulf of Mexico,
bringing an incalculable amouutof moisture.
This is the material for the tremendous rain
fall which accompanies the tornado. After
these winds have ceased, dry, cold
winds will begin to blow from the north,
continuing anywhere from.two to five weeks.
By this time an overwhelming mass of air is
accumulated in that section of the country.
Tiie air is something like great masses of gun
powder in storage, waiting for some other
I tower to develop its hidden resources. By
and by these opposite currents meet in the
heavens, and then conies on tlie struggle fo.~
the mastery. The cold, dry air and the warm,
moist air meet, grapple and roll over and
over—glow one on top and now the other.
In unscientific language, that’s a tornado."
SKINS OP TORN A DOES.
“What are the signs of the approach of a
tornado?"
“They are rarely quite the same, and an
unpracticed eye might not observe them at
ail. Commonly tlie symptoms are something
like tliis: Clouds are seen approaching each
other from opposite directions; (hey come
into contact presently and form a whirl. This
is the focus or vortex of the disturbance.
Other clouds from all points of the compass
are drawn in like.Boating bits of timber into
the Norwegian maclstront. Then they take
the shape of a funnel, point downward, and
stoop until they come in contact with the
earth. We must remember that a tornado, ns-
wind will draw the air away *o quickly that
the air on the inside of the house will burst
th? walls out and the roof will fall in. But
let’s quit talking about tornadoes, and come
over and see the weather outside.”
The two walked over to the window. / Be
low lay file city. Not a house obstructed the
fine view to the eats. Away over toward Stone
Mountain a heavy ain was falling. Further
around toward the north a bright
cloud reflected the rays of the sun while at
the southward were banks of dark black
clouds.
“Do you know,” said Mr. Hall, “that for
every inch of rain that falls there are over
two million cubic feet of water to the
square mile!”
The reporter confessed tiiat he was not
much on remembering statistics and figures
ana said:
“You say you have known of whole or
chards that were tom np by tornadoes?”
“Yes.”
“And objects of considerable weight carried
twenty.niiles?” i
“Yes.” «
“And have known a barn sill to be blown
eight miles and then driven half its length in
the ground?"
“Ob, yes.”
“And have known a pair of oxen to be car
ried two miles unhurt?”
“Oh, yes, certainly.”
“And have seen a cyclone blow a bullfrog
out of a pond and blow him through a piece
of sheet iron a quarter of an inch thick?”
“Undoubtedly. Fix it that way and you
will have it gloriously correct.”
“Did it hurt the frog?”
of the survey, so as to make the proper di
vision. They replied that the notes were in
the bands of the surveyor of Walker county.
Hence I directed my quest to Walker county,
only to find that the surveyor was dead and
the notes were lost. All I could then do was
to draw an oblique line from the Tennessee
to the Alabama line leaving Dade county iu
the shape mentioned. So you see there are
people up there who have no means of know
ing what county they are living in. Yes, .come
in again,” said the secretary to the reporter,
who stood at the door shaking himself from
the dust of a hundred and fifty years. “There
is a good deal here that might interest you.’
THE USE OF AMMONIA. IN BAKING J.:
POWDERS.
GEORGIA HEADRIGHTS.
A M»lr Georgia Sakject Ret Might kjr the Serrotarr
of State.
“Dry-and dusty, is all I can tell you of my
office,’’ said the venerable secretary of state
to one who had ventured within tiiat depart
ment of the state government. “We never
have anything that newspaper men care to
get.” 0
“But what paper is that to which you are
now affixing your signature?”
“It is a- headlight deed to William Davis,
of Liberty county, for 329 acres of state .land
in that county. The 'deed is dated June 5,
1882.”
“I did not know that there were any pub
lic lands left in Georgia for disposal?”
“Oh, yes; I make out such lieadrights ev
ery week or so. Here on the 23d of May is
a deed to Mr. W. A. Waters tor ten acres in
Bullock county; and here again are two
deeds, one for 233 acres and the other for
39G acres, in Giynn county. These deeds
were issued on the 8th of May to Mr. John
A. Phillips.”
“Now, Mr. Barnett, will you enlighten us
by stating what these lieadrights are?”
Adjusting himself in his chair for the inev
itable seige, tlie secretary said: “Ever since
1843 I have been asked that same question,
and it seems as if the explanation would
never get abroad. There's General Oglethorpe
—you know General Oglethorpe, don’t you?”
“I have heard of him—he was the original
lone fisherman of the Yamacraw.”
“Very well, young man. I will give you
credit for that. Well, General Oglethorpe
made liis first settlement in Savannah, and
for the time Savannah was all there was of
what is now the state of Georgia. - The histo
ry of this period is to be gathered from the
minutes of tlie colony board in London and
from the various local court records. Tlie
lands, ns far as explored, were divided into
lots of.some forty acres,others 20254,others 460
and some even as high as 1,000 acres. It is said
tiiat these figures represented the same rela
tive value in money as the value of tlie land
varied in different localities. Forthese lands
lieadrights were granted. That is, the mana
gers of the colony, desirous of settling up the
coutitry, made a free grant of n lot of land to
each head of a family upon his complying
with certain requirements, such as clearing so
mahy acres, the erection of a cabin.”
•‘That must have been where Uncle Tom
originated.”
“No, it wasn’t. Georgia was, by action of
the colonists, a free colony, slavery was strict
ly prohibited, and sonic of the first headright
men were negroes. This system of settling
the land was the only one known for years,
and is the law to-day. The country was then
ludionted by this visible cloud funnel, has ™
five distinct motions, as follows: First, an
upward motion interiorily, resembling that of
tlie thread of a -screw, by which it picks up
articles from the surface, lifts them into the
air and carries them os though on an invisible
platform; second, a revolving motion, as
about an axis; third, an oscillating motion,
swaying from side toside, as around a moving
center, like ns when one holds the end of a
string in his fingers and revolves the other
end to which a pioce of lead is attached;
fourth, a motion by whicH currents of air
frotu all sides are drawn to it; and fifth,
general progressive motion on its track.
“How fust do these tornadoes travel?”.
"We may say thirty miles an hour for the
general progressive movement, that is to say
the motion along over thefnceof the country.
But there is no calculating liow fast tlie
wind moves in the whirlwind. Our instru
ments would be torn up if we were to attempt
to measure tlie velocity of a tornado. It is
this spiral motion tiiat does so much dam
age? - ’
The reporter stepped to the window and
pointed to the gray stack of the Fulton cotton
factory a mile and a quarter away and said:
“Suppose a tornado a mile wide were to
jiass this way and tiie side next to us was to
go about where tlmt chimney is, would we feel
any effect from it? - ’
"None of consequence. But the sight
would be one long to be remembered.”
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
“What would it look like?”
“You would see in the distance what would
appear to be a funnel shaped cloud. It
would be perha;is a mile or two across at the
top and would be revolving like lightning in
a direction opposite to that of the hamls of a
watch. You would not be able to see its mo
tions further than it would sway about like a
balloon dipping down to tlie earth, but at the
same time following one general direction.
After the cloud had passed you might go over
and see the track. It would
be calculated to inspire you with
a new admiration for these giant
whirlwinds. You would find the track left
as clean as a patch of grass would be after a
mower had been through it. Trees, houses, ;
fences, and every thing will be found scattered
over the face of the earth in tlie sweetest of
sweet confusion. *Some curious stories are
told of the freaks of tornadoes. I have seen a
piece of shingle driven through a piece of
sheet iron a quarter of an inch thick. I iiave
seen a piece of plank driven througn a hickory
tree, and I have seen the piece cf plank driven
through a telegraph pole here in a Georgia
tornado several years ago.”
“I have heard,” remarked the reporter,
“tiiat when a woman is caught up by one of
them and whirled around in the air awhile,
she is finally set down without a rag of cloth
ing on her; and when a hen or chicken is
taken up, tlie wind ' cleans the feathers off as
though the bird had been scalded and pluck
ed for the pot. How about that? Is ttiat
so?"
"I have never seen anything of that sort,”
replied Professor Hall.
"Havcycu ever seen a cyclone?”
“Oh, yes. I have seen them in the West
Indies. They are very dangerous
there to ships, particularly if the
mariner does not understand his
business. If he will watch his barometer,
hewever, and prepare for the cyclone he can-
pot only come out with a whole hide, bat
actually make tlie cyclone be a service to him.
lie can strike tlie edge and go with the wind
around to the other side, and then pass off
and go about bis business. But if he tries to

entered."
FAVORITE FREAKS.
“Talking about tornadoes,” said Mr. Hall,
will tell you one of their favorite freaks.
present counties. Tlie one furthest north was
wiiat is now Richmond county, embracing
Augusta, and extendingsoutli through Burke,
Jefferson and others to Camden, including St.
Mary’s. The records of these headlights are
all on file in this office. One curious omis
sion exists, however.”
“What is that?”
“When tlie war of the revolution terminat
ed in favor of the colonies, the state of Geor
gia confiscated all the lands of tlie tories. As
there were many tories in the colony, especi
ally among the wealthier classes, there must
have been a good quantity of land subject to
confiscation. There is no evidence whatever
on record of tlie disposal of these confiscated
estates. Whether they were sold by the state,
whether subsequently remitted to the loyal
ist owners, or whettier taken up anew as
headrights by other parties, does not ap
pear by any record in existence. Suppose,
for instance, some one were to enter a claim
tor a headright to such a lot, and take pos-'
session of it, and its hitherto owner were to
try to oust him. On looking into the records
the real intruder would hold the only origi
nal claim on record, while tlie other would
have only a squatter right—such would be
the case so far as the records in my office
show. Wiiat complication, in the intricacies
of lnw, such a thing might lead to.”
“How comes it that headrights are Being
entered at such a late day as this?”
“Under the old law. there was no survey
made, ami the only requirement made by the
colony was tiiat the settler should not make
his survey of headright more than twice the
lengtli of it breadth. This left every man to
select his own boundaries. If you will look
at tiiis plalbook you will see the result.
Here is a lot shaped out like a fork, so sur
veyed a3 to take in three streams. Here is
another one like a diamond, and
here is one in the shape of a perfect
,‘L.’ All undesirable land was left out
of the survey. Thus large sections
of country were settled up, a record was kept
of the land occupied, but none of the land
skipped over. Generation after generation
passes away, and these rejected corners and
cuts, sometimes running as high as a thousand
acres, are taken no notice oi. Every week or
so some farmer, w’ao has known that since
tlie days of his grandfather that such land
was unclaimed, goes to the trouble of putting
the plats of the adjacent lots together. He
thus finds out the dimensions and boundaries
of the lost section, and fortified with that
knowledge and the necessary colonial fee, he
comes to Atlanta and gives evidence of having
made the necessary improvements, and takes
out the headright therefor as an original set
tler just landed in one of General Oglethorpe’:
sailing vessels."
“Has there been any legislation governing
this class of property?”
“Very little, except with regird to
special' localities. In Chatham county,
for instance, these lands had a value
which made them an object of some conten
lion—hence an art was passed donating all
such lands to the Union school and an orphan
asylum in Savannah, both of which institu
tions, I am informed, are still in existence.
After 1S02, as purchases of additional territory
were made from the Indians, the lottery sys
tem was adopted, and under mat system the
balance of the state was disposed of. But in
the original parishes of Georgia the headright
system is the law until this day. In whpt
countv were you bom?”

From the Scientific American.
Tlie recent discoveries in science and chem
istry are fast revolutionizingonr daily domes
tic economies. Old methods are giving way
to tlie light of modem investigation, and the
habits and methods of ourfathers and mothers
are stepping down and' out, to be succeeded
by the new ideas with marvelous rapidity.
In no department of science, however, have
more rapid strides been made than in its rela
tions to the preparation and preservation of
human food. Scientists, having discovered
how to traverse space, furnish heat, and beat
time itself, by the application of natural
forces, and to do a hundred other things pro
motive of the com fort and bappi ness of hu man
kind, are naturally turning their attention to
the development of other agencies and
powers tiiat shall add Jo the years during
which man may enjoy the blessings set before
him.
Among the recent discoveries in this direc
tion, none is more important' than the uses
to which common ammonia can be properly
put as a leavening agent, and which indicate
tiiat this familiar salt is hereafter to perform
an active part in the preparation of our daily
food, *
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceedingly
volatile substance. Place a small portion of
it upon a knife and hold over a flame, and it
will almost immediately be entirely developed
into gasaud passotf int > the air. The gas thus
formed is a simple composition of nitrogen
and hydrogen. No residue is left from the
ammonia. This gives it its superiority as a
leavening power over soda and cream of tartar
when used alone, and has induced its use as a
supplement to these articles. A small quan
tity of ammonia in the dough is effective in
producing bread that will be lighter, sweeter,
and more wholesome than that risen bv any
other leavening agent. When it isacted'upon
by the beat of baking the leavening gas that
raises the dough is liberated. In this act it
uses itself up. as it were; the ammonia is
entirely diffused, leaving no trace of residuum
whatever. The light, fluffy, flaky appearance,
so desirable in biscuits, etc., and so sought
after by professional cooks, is said to be im
parted to them only by the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manufactu
rers producing the finest goods have been
quick to avail themselves of this useful dis
covery, and the handsomest and best bread
and cake are now largely risen by tlie aid of
ammonia, combined of coarse with other
leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known products
of the laboratory. If, as Seems to be justly
claimed for it, tlie application of its properties
to the purposes of cooking results in giving
us lighter and more wholesome bread, biscuit,
and cake, it will prove a boon to dyspeptic
humanity, and will speedily force itself into
general use in the new iield to which science
has assigned it.

The French Lottery.
It is announced that the French governj
ment has authorized another lottery, so press
ing has been the demand for it on the part of
the people. The previous one excited un
bounded enthusiasm among all classes, and
the wide distribution of the numerous prizes
gave ail ranks a taste of the satisfaction to be
had in the easily acquired gains of the lot
tery.
Yet neither the French nor any other Eu
ropean or American scheme compares in lib
erality with the new one of the long estab
lished Louisiana State Lottery Company set
forth at length in another column of this
paper, to be drawn on the 11th of July prox.,
and monthly thereafter, under the sole direc
tion of Generals Beauregard and Early. It
willbe seen that in this scheme $75,000 is given
on a $5 ticket constituting it the largest offer
for: that price ever presented.
That this company will perform all it
f iromises is now well established in the pub
ic mind. The whole scheme will be found
interesting reading and hear careful analysis.
After a severe test of twelve years, by many
leading physicians and thousands of females,
it has been thoroughly demonstrated that
English Female Bitters has cured und relieved
more sickly females than all other remedies
combined. All monthly defects, excesses or
weaknesses, affecting married or single ladies,
are promptly relieved by its use.

THE WEEK’8 REVIEW—FRIDAY. JUNE 30.
New York—The cotton market for several days
past has been in a booming condition, and the vig
orous upward movement of quotati ons shows un
mistakable signs of a greatly improved feeling.
The whole week is marked with spirited fluctua
tions aud uncommon excitement, but Tuesday and
Wednesday were conspicuously active days, nmd
taken together render this the most active week in
several months Futures have been impelled up
ward under a firm tone, aud it was not until to-day
that any signs of a relaxation in the market was
apparent. However, the state of the market and
the enthusiastic feeling now prevailing it is quite
probable iliat the maximum figures are not yet
reached, and the coming week may show up a
higher range of prices. To-day the market (level-
opek an easy feeling toward the close, but subse
quently assumed a healthier tone, Quotations at
the close to-day stand 12015 points above the figures
of a week ago, though July, August and September
have accomplished a gain of 25@»U points. The
spot market has likewise been active aud excited,
and a buoyant feeling and a steady advance has
prevailed all the week. Middling closed to day at
I22£c. The foreign demand has been more stimu
lated this week, and with remarkably light receipts
and the exhausted appearance of all other markets
there seems to be no obstacle in the way of an en
ergetic advance for the immediate future.
Net receipts for the week ending to-day 9,336
bales, against 13,637 bales last week and against
20,579 bales for the corresponding week last year
exports for the week 47,90s bales; same time last year
32,125 bales; stock 395,632 bales; same time last
year 357,162 bales.
The local cotton market is void of any particular
excitement. Stocks are much reduced, and hence
attract no especial notice. Prices hold firm, and
although holders are reluctant to sell, we notice a
good inquiry and reasonable sales.
