The Laws of Morin*. [Scientific American. 1 When tho United States Signal Service was organized and lirst began to attract attention, it was claimed that any law respeeUug the motion and direction of wind and storms was clearly beyond tho grasp of the hu man mind. But now, in all largo cities and in many country towns, tho "probabilities” liud weat her maps arc eagerly scanned every morning, greatly to'the advantage of all class es; and seamen closely watch the cautionary ilags displayed—as occa sion requires—from the frequent sig nal stations along our whole coast. They have learned the lesson of giv ing careful heed to these monitions. Though tho whole work of the Signal Service is interesting as a fairy tale, we propose at present to eall atten tion only to some deductions of Pro fessor Loomis respecting storm laws. This savant commenced his investi gations in 1872, and has reported his results at three several meetings of tho National Academy of Science. The last was at the session of this learned body at Washington, which has just adjourned, and a report of whose proceedings will be found on another page. It is now fully accepted that all storms are eircu lar, and most of these reported by “Old Probabilities” ex tend over a space of hundreds of miles in extent, and often a thousand or more. The storms are not only circular, and advance across the country at a rate varying from two or three hundred to much more than a thousand miles per day. Their av erage direction is a little north of east, and they seem to originate either in the northwestern part of the United States, if not in the Pacille ocean, or in the vicinity of Texas and the Gulf of Mexico. Storms are not necessarily accompanied witli rain; they may be only of wind, like the small whirlwinds we often see carry ing around sand and leaves, yet, tit the same, time, they progress forward. But they are usually ac companied with rain, and the rain ex pends hundreds of miles (500 is the average.) to the east of the storm cen tre, but a much shorter distance to tho west. Tlte barometer, whose nominal height is about 40 inches, is usually low at the centre of these vast, advancing whirlwinds. We now proceed to notice the means by which these facts, and others to lie men tioned, were deduced, and some of their suggested causes. On the weather map, whieti the signal service of the United States army daily distributes. Professor Loomis divided the Held covered by a storm into four quadrants, and noted the observed directions of the wind in each. He did the same on all the weuthef maps,showiuga posi tion of tlie storm centre, suitable for his pur|>ose. By taking a mean of all these observations, he found that winds blow in a circular direction; not, however, in the line of the tan gent to a circle having its centre at the eye of the storm, but directed in wards more than 45 degrees from the tangent . Hence the wind’s direction is more nearly central than tangen tial. Of course the currents, blow ing in from all directions toward one central point, can escape only when moving upwards at the centre. This makes a kind of suction at. this point, which diminishes the weight of the atmosphere and consequently lowers the barometer. When swift, rotat ing, upward currents of this kind occur on the ocean, they sometimes produce the waterspouts of which we j read. The causes which produce this : inward motion of the air currents must be looked for in those distant quarters where the storm originated. They may be due to the collision of moist air with some cold mountain peak. This would condense the moisture; the condensation would produce heat, which would expand and lighten the air; and then the heavy air on all sides would move to wards this central point of diminish ed pressure. The air, boated by con tact. with the warm earth, takes up a large quantity of moisture; and then on being carried up into colder re gions, becomes condensed, and pre- 1 cipitates the moisture, thus showing up the cause of rain. The real cen tre of a storm is probably one or two miles high at loust; and from the average of a month’s observations on the velocity of the wind at the top of Mount Washington, compared with its velocity in neighboring places near the level of the sea, the Professor calculates thattiio velocity of the wind at (S,()oo feet high is live and a half times greater than at the sea level. The high currents moving so much more rapidly than the base of the storm resting on the earth, would of course carry tho ascending water-charged air forward. This gives a reason for tho fact that the rain area is in advance of the storm centre. Professor Loomis also learned, by deduction from tils tabulated data, that the more rapid the storm the greater was the extent of rain area to the east of it; t hat the velocity of the storm increased more rapidly than the extension of the rain area; and t hat the direction of the storm for 24 hours was in general the same as the direction of the major axis of tiie rain oval for the proceeding eight hours. The second of these facts seem to be a little anomalous, but the lirst. and last are as we should expect them to be, because the velocity and direction of the most freely moving part of the storm should harmonize with the direction of the eastward upper uir current, to which all parts of the storm, in the main, owe their action. If the comparison had been made witli the direction of the storm paths fortiiesueeeeding eight hours instead of twenty-four, t he conclusions on the last point would probably have been still more satisfactory. But the nppercurrent is not the only cause of the eastward motion of the storm. The condensation which causes rain expands, by its heat, the air which rises and comes down out side of tho rain area. Hence we have low barometer in front of the storm centre, and tho descending air behind | makes its high there. So the center is not only drifted forward by the upper air currents from the west, but is pressed forward by the fact of a high barometer behind it and a low pressure before it. He also detemin od that the state of the barometer at the center, or its rate of fall in front, had little or nothing to do with the velocity of the storm's progress, but that the rate of rise behind it was directly proportioned to the velocity of the storm. Again, he finds, by taking the i means of the velocities of wind in the four quadrants and comparing it with the storm’s velocity, that, wiien the wind in the east quadrant has a great er average velocity than in the west, the sterm moves faster than its mean rate, but slower when the wind’s ve locity in the west is greatest. He ex plains this by supposing the upward movement would do greatest in the quadrant which had the greatest ve locity of wind ; then here would be the lowest barometer, and diminish ed pressure would tend to make the center in this direction. Now, if the excess of the wind’s velocity in the west quadrant were sufficient, it might cause a westward instead of an eastward movement to the storm cen ter. This movement has occurred several times, and caused the storm’s path to make a loop upon itself. In one ease the storm was made to change its direction more than 300 i degrees in a little over 24 hours. This ! explanation seems a little defective, for it apparently assumes a separate upward movement in each quadrant, whereas it is presumable that the ro tary centripetal motion of the wind on all sides contributes to ouo grand upward movement in tho center. Again, it would soem that t he greater velocity of a wost wind would tend, by its superior momentum, to veer the central cylinder of asooudiug air to the east rather than to the west. AFPLETONS’ American Cyclopedia. New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by the ablest writer* on every subject. Printed from new type, and illus trated with Several Thousand Engravings j and Maps. I The work originally published uuder the title j of Tiik Nsw Amkbivan Cyclop jrdia wan com- I pletediu 1803, since which time the wide circula ! tiou which it has attained in all parts of tho . United States, and the signal developments which have taken nlaco iu every branch of seieuce, lit erature autl art, have Induced the editors and publishers to submit it to au exact and thorough revision, and to issue anew edition entitled Thr j American Cyclopaedia. Within the last ten years the progress of dis covery iu every department of knowledge has made anew work of reference an Imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc curred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume ot the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a now course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowl edge havo been made by tho indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last do cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have, brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought aud important sieges maintained, of which the de tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications ol' the day, but which ought now to take their place in perma nent aud authentic history. Iu preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possi ble dates, aud to furnish au accurate account of tho most recent discoveries iu science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventions iu the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and origiuul record of the progress of political and historical events. The work has been begun alter long and care ful preliminary labor, aud with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful term ination. None of the origiuul stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, terming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which aro introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations iu the text. They embrace all branches of science an>l of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable features of scenery, architecture and art, as well as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embelishment. no pains have been spared to in- i sure their artistic excellence; tlie cost of their ! execution is enormous, and it is believed they 1 will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its I high character. .

I shall esteem my self happy should even one of that worst of all classes of sufferers he led through me to take the Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar tyr to the most malignant aud persistent neural gic torture, without being able to find any relief except from your preparation. Him was relieved by the second dose as per directions, aud has not had a return of it for two months. To some I may seem strangely sanguine about your medi cine. but 1 have a right to be so. It is not rea sonable to suppose this malignant malady would have died of sheer exhaustion of capacity lor sustaining itself, aud that too in a minute, and the. very minute your medicine was taken. If so, it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, and I prefer giving tin l credit in your favor of the best testimony inau can ever have—experience. Vary truly yours, JAMES T. TOSn.
