The next that came was Master Hunt,
And he declared he knew it wouldn’t.
And then I met with Farmer Blow,
He plainly said he didn’t know,
So, sir, when doctors disagree,
Who’s to decide it, you or me?”
CYCLONE PROGNOSTICS.
We shall first take a typical well formed cyclone. In the accompanying diagram (Fig. 1) the broad features of the relation of cloud and rain to a cyclone centre are shown, the full line indicating the path of the depression, and the dotted line at right angles to it is the trough or locus of the lowest reading of the barometer.
