Sailors Used to Fear Them--Now Vessels Have Gone Through Them. In the waterspout the medi mariner saw & malevolent siying monster--a sea dragon Ther were various means <i * combating em. Once all sailors carried black handled knives, which the monster was believe to hold in specia) abhorrence, say Scientifi American. When a spout made its appear- ance these knives were prod oduced and pointed in its direction, waved in the air so as to make the sign of the cross, or, according to the recommendation of certain con- temporary authorities, driven sev- era] times into the side of the ship. Certain passages from the gospel of St. John were recited as charms against waterspouts, A loud noise of any kind was also believed to be efficacious against them--shouts, the clash of swords, the beating of drums and gongs, etc. The custom of firing cannon against waterspouts dates back at least as far as the sixteenth cen- tury. The original idea appears to ars been to frighten them away by the noise of She report ; in later times it was believed that spout thus dissipated. interesting to know whether the cannoning of waterspouts is still tury ago. to say that it is entirely futile. Dust whirls occur only when_ the surface of the ground is 8 excessively heated. and during their brief exis- tence they are fed by the inflow of the lower air. The sharp contrasts of temperature that produce them are characteristic of a land sur- face; yet it is over the latter that spouts are most frequent. Here, is one point of difference between the dust whirl and th out. "Panother i is the fact that no surface inflow of the air is observed about a spout except immediately within ri few hundred feet of a vessel when the latter is absolutely becalmed. Both of these circumstances prove the inaccuracy of the common state- ment that spouts are due to an un- stable condition of overheated air at the earth's surface. Both theory and observation in- dicate that the vortex of a spout originates at a considerable ailti- tude above the earth, viz., at t level of the middle or lower clouds-- and is thence propagated down- ward. The explanation of its origin margin of a large cyclone, the zone in which spouts originate being identical with that in which squalls are also most com Frequently it fails to reach the earth's surface. Incomplete water spouts are often observed dangling from the clouds, with no agitation |- from the water beneath such as would indicate that the vortex ex- tended to the lowest stream of the Waterspouts are common within the tropics, especially in the equa- torial region of calms and bafflin ys nown as the "doldrums. The East Indies, the Guinea coast. the Red Sea and the Mediterranean are some of their favorite haunts. It is hardly ncessary to state that " e| two inches below the joint. a waterspout does not consist of water in the ordinary sense of the! term. A vortex in the air, formed as described .above, is gradually | pushed downward. it reaches | the surface of the ocean the latter will be violently disturbed; the water will be dashed upward in the form of waves and spray to a height of many feet, forming the character- istic broad base of the spout. When a waterspout suddenly breaks. owing to a cessation of its vertical motion, its moisture may be discharged downward in the form of atorrential rain. This has sometimes happened over a ship, and the water was observed to be fresh. not salt, proving that no consilerable part ®f it was drawn directly from the ocean. Tt mariners were once the prey to a superstitious i, of water- spouts, on _ other hand, the sail- r of to-day is perhaps inclined to go to the offer extreme. Sea cap- n quoted as saying that they. would not be afraid to run their vessels into any waterspoyts they have n. There are, how- cases.on record in is have come off much worse for involuntary encount- ers with waterspouts. Pe 1895 the-German bark Ceylon. Capt. Niemann, bound 'from Ant- werp to Philadelphia, met a weter- Most of her canvas was furled at the time, as she had recently en- countered a thunder squall and hence it was not possible to sail out of the way of the spout when it was seen sapelly approaching. The spout struck the vessel on the port side and keeled her over until the was swung around northwest to south-southeast and 4 en thrown over to port on beam ends with such violence that her mainmast and mizzenmast went by the board. ------_ F TWO SURGICAL CASES.
