Reference has been made to the word cyclone as applied to the storms in the West. We are told by authorities that a cyclone sweeps over hundreds of miles of sea or shore, while a tornado, although having the same whirling motion, is never wider than a mile. The Omaha storm, while destroying a territory 24 blocks in length, confined itself to a width of only about two blocks. Had it been a cyclone of equal strength, we are informed, nothing of the Omaha section would have escaped destruction.
The Cigar Manufacturers’ Association, of Tampa, Fla., proposes a plan, so says the Tobacco Leaf, to obtain legislation giving makers of clear Havana cigars the privilege of making their goods under the supervision of the Government. The plan is to have clear Havanas labeled as such by the Government and mixed and domestic goods to bear labels testifying to their “character.”
