Abstract
THE exceptionally disastrous and destructive tornado which occurred at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, shortly after five in the afternoon of May 27, draws more than ordinary attention to this class of disturbance, and excites, for a time at least, an interest in such phenomena. These disturbances are by no means of uncommon occurrence in the United States, but it is happily not often that a densely populated city falls directly in the track of the full fury of the storm.
