THE TERM "CYCLONE." Signal Observer Barwick Contends Its Use is Harmless. He Would Apply It to All Storms That Move In Other Than Straight Lines of Travel. Eds. Record-Union: Noticing the article this morning in reference to the manner in which lieutenant I-'inley uses the word "cyclone." instead of the word "storm," nml that ,:;i! word "cyclone" is 8 terror to the people of Kansas, lowa and other 'Western States east of the Rooky mountains, I bejj leave to Kay that the torm brings no fear to Eastern people; but the word "tornado" does. When a tornado does occur it is always on the south sido of a storm (cyclonic) center, and always in the southeast quadrant. Tornados seldom, if ever, occur in winter. Speaking about tho word "cyclone," I take great pleasure in ap- pending tho following description and origination of the word, as taken from a most valuable and useful work called "Piddington's Sailor's Horn-Book on the Law of Storms, etc.," by Henry l'idding- ton, President of Marino ('ourts, Calcutta. This is an old edition (18<&), which shows that the word "cyclone" wus coined years ago. What Professor Piddington says is as follows: "Hut these, words—storm, gale, hurri- cane, tempest, etc. —are very liable to be used indiscriminately and confounded, and thus produce some perplexity, and even misk'tid the plain seaman. Our new science having demonstrated a circular or vortex-like (yorticular) motion, re- quires a new word to distinguish winds of all kinds having greatly curved courses from those which, like the trades and monsoons, ye may assume to be blowing in straight, or nearly straight linc-s. I am not altogether averse to new names, but I well know how sailors, and indeed many laudsmun, dislike them; I suggested, however, in the former editions that we might, per- haps, for all this last class of circular or highly-curved winds, adopt the term 'cyclone 1 (from tho Greek word which Bignilios, among other things, the coil ot a snake), as neither allirming the circle to be a true one, though the circuit maybe complete, yet expressing stilliciently the tendency to circular motion in "those meteors. We should by the use of it be able, to speak without confounding names which may express cither circular or straight winds—such as 'gale,' 'storm,' 'hurricane,' etc.—with those which arc more frcquentv i:so.i (as 'hurricane') to designate merely their strength. This is what leads to 'confusion, for we say of, and we, tho authors, ourselves, write about ships and places in tho same 'storm,' having "the storm commencing,' the gale Increasing, 1 'the hurricane pass- ing over,' and the like, merely because the ships or localities of which we speak had the wind of different degrees of Strength, though the whole were experi- encing parts of tho same circular storm. "('i/c.'uu/dl is a known word, but it ex- presses relation to a defined geometrical curve, and one not sufficiently approach- ing our usual views, which arc tliose of something nearly, tlioifgh not perfectly, circular. Now, if wo used a single word and said, the 'cyclone' commenced, in- creased, passed over, etc., we should get rid of all this ambiguity, and use the same word to express the same thing in all cases; and this without any relation to tho strength of tho wind, for which we might freely use all the words, 'breeze,' 'gale,' 'storm,' 'tempest,' •hurricane.' 'typhoon,' etc., as we pleased. "I have now before me (October, 184(5) a newspaper extract giving an account of a meeting of the florists, market gar- deners and others of the South London district, to consider means to repair their losses in a severe thunder and hail-storm which occurred in the month of July or August of that year. In this article the words 'galo,' 'storm' and 'hurricane' are used to speak of the 'meteor,' as the . French call it. And in another, giving an account of a storm which visited Edinburgh on the 4th of March, the tem- pest is alternately spoken of as a 'gale' and a 'hurricane,' and Professor Nichol, of the Glasgow Observatory, finally speaks of it as a 'storm of translation,' o"r a 'moving whirlwind,' of large radius, but of immense power. The simple word 'cyclone' would express all Which Pro- nssor Xichol wished to say, and lie would then, as well as the editor of the newspaper, have had all his words to ux- pressthe violence of the Thailand thunder) storm without, by using the term 'hurri- cane,' for instance, leading their readers to suppose that there was anything rotary about the wind, If they did not mean to express this. "In the first edition of this work I ventured so far to propose the now word as to add it in a parenthesis wherever I wished to express a wind blowing in v circuit, whether a circle or an ellipse, or a" wind describing a spiral by its pro- gression while turning," and as the word lias been generally approved of, and in all cases found to be not only unobjec- tionable, but often highly convenient, I have now, as noted at the heading of this part, adopted it with its natural deriv- atives, 'cyclonic' and 'cyclonal,' and even 'cydonology,' when speaking of our new Science, throughout the present edition. And it lias been so generally adopted that I have reason to believe it has now be- come a recognized English, as well as a professional and scientific word." The above, Mr. Kditor, is the origin of the word which is now in so general use among all meteorologists to designate a storm of many miles in diameter and cir- cumference, and of a revolving nature. Certainly you and your many readers have not forgotten the severe" storm of wind, rain and hail that panned over a portion of Colusa County last rammer, und laid waste everything; in its path, and it was but a few days ago that there was a tornado or waterspout seen from Redondo Beach, out In the ocean, kicking up the spray. Ifthat tittle circular zephyr had reached the land there would liavo been complete annihilation wherever itstruck. Dana, in his work "Two Years Before the Mast,'" says that during a southeaster his vessel was obliged to put to sea from Santa Barbara, on toe coast of California, and that they (the southeastersi seldom last above two days, and are often over in twelve hours. Speaking of the storm to-day (Sunday), the following verse from * Falconer's "Shipwreck" appears to be appropriate on this occasion: "Perhaps this storm (cyclone) is scut with luiilinir breath From neighboring shores to scourge disease ami death? 'Tisours on thine unerring laws to trust With luce, great Lord, whatever is, is just." Jamks A. Hahwick, Sergeant Signal Corps. Sacramento, February 22, 1891. It Was Time. He was sitting in tho parlor -with her \u25a0when tho rooster crowed in the yard, and leaning over he said: "Chajitieloer!" "I wish to gracious you would," she said. "I'm as sleepy as*l can he."

A most reliable medicine for the purpose, is llos- tetter's Stomach Hitters, which is iar preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though they may for a time exert a soporific influence upon the brain, soon cease to act, and in- variably injure the tone of the stomach. The bitters, on the com rary, restore ac- tivity to the operations of that, all-im- portant organ, and their beneficent influ- ence is reflected in sound sleep and a tranquil suite of the nervous system.

They would like you to think that what's cured thousands won't cure you. You'd believe in pat- ent medicines if they didn't profess to cure everything and so, between the experi- ments of doctors, and the experiments of patent medi- cines that are sold only be- cause there's money in the "stuff," you lose your faith in everything. You can't always tell the prescription that cures by what you read. So, perhaps, there's no better way to sell a remedy than to tell the truth about it, and take the risk of its doing just what it professes to do.

V., does with Doctor Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleas- ant Pellets, and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

The Capay Valley Land Company is offering the most fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms which enable the purchaser to pay ior the land out of its own product, viz: Interest only for five years at 7 per cent. The only condition imposed is, that a reasonable pro- portion of the land purchased shall be planted to fruit trees or vines. Land may be bought without this condition on payment of 20 per cent, cash and re- maining 80 per cent, at the end of five years, with in- ! terest annually in advance, at 7 per cent. The various tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have been subdivided into 10 and 20-acre lots, which are for sale at prices varying from $50 to $150 per acre. Simi- lar unimproved land in Vaca Valley has recently been sold at $400 to $500 per acre. These Capay Valley lands are under the most favor- able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitable fruit growing, and the 'locality has proved itself to be one of the earliest in the State. The grape crop of 1890 from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked, dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before the Fresno County grapes.were ripe. The railroad passes through all of the tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company, thus insuring excel- lent shipping facilities; and land may now be purchased in the immediate proximity of either of the following stations: Capay, Cadenasso, Surrey, Guinda, Sauterne, Cashmere or Rumsey. At many of these places fine orchards of the choicest and earliest varieties of peaches and apricots may already be seen, and during the coming season considerable ad- ditional acreage will be planted out. One of the recent sales made by the company was that of the Tancred Tract, containing 600 acres, to a colony association. This tract has been subdivided into forty holdings, all of which will be planted to fruit trees this season. The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract, where 400 acres have been sold, are especially worthy of mention, and it is a significant fact that several of the blocks are owned by successful Vaca Valley fruit-growers, who ex- pect to make their earliest shipments from here.

Equal in All Respects to the Famous Vaca Valley, Which It Adjoins. 13* INTEREST ONLY FOR FIVE YEARS AT 7 PER CENT.^I Capay Valley is situated in Yolo County, about 90 miles by rail from San Francisco, and is traversed in its entire length by the Woodland, Capay and Clear Lake Railroad, the distance from Esparto to Rumsey being 21 miles. Too much stress ennnot be laid upon the great ad- vantage to the fruit-grower of being in early locality. In most cases it makes the difference between success and failure. The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley ! may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained by the first fruit shipments ol the season, and that 20 acres of this rich land, when the trees are in bearing, will 1 yield a handsome and assured income. The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re- siding in the valley, whose duty it is to show the various tracts to land seekers. Four townsites have been laid out in different points in the valley, viz: Esparto, Cadenasso, Guinda and Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason- able prices and on easy terms. The enterprising and flourishing town of Esparto is situated at the lower end of the valley, and $125,000 worth of substantial buildings have already been erected, including a fine four-story brick hotel, two large brick blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets, besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences. The town has a postoffice. school-house and a weekly paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph and express offices. Postottices have also been established at Guinda and j Rumsey. This latter place, situated at the head of the valley, is the present terminus of the railroad. The com- fortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for hunters as well as land-seekers. The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val- ley may be thus concisely summed up: A soil of great fertility, yielding bountifully of every crop. A soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruit and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State. A climate perfectly adapted to the curing of raisins and drying of frnit, without the aid of artificial evaporators. A location that is central and close to markets. Railroad I communication which enables shipments to be made I quickly and cheaply. Lands which are sold cheaper and j on better terms than anywhere else in the State.

THE TERM "CYCLONE."

Signal Observer Barwick Contends ItsUse is Harmless.

He Would Apply It to All Storms That

Move In Other Than Straight

Lines of Travel.

Eds. Record-Union: Noticing thearticle this morning in reference to themanner in which lieutenant I-'inley usesthe word "cyclone." instead of the word"storm," nml that ,:;i! word "cyclone" is8 terror to the people of Kansas, lowa andother 'Western States east of the Rookymountains, I bejj leave to Kay that thetorm brings no fear to Eastern people;but the word "tornado" does. When atornado does occur it is always on thesouth sido of a storm (cyclonic) center,and always in the southeast quadrant.Tornados seldom, if ever, occur inwinter. Speaking about tho word"cyclone," I take great pleasure in ap-pending tho following description andorigination of the word, as taken from amost valuable and useful work called"Piddington's Sailor's Horn-Book on theLaw ofStorms, etc.," by Henry l'idding-ton, President of Marino ('ourts, Calcutta.This is an old edition (18<&), which showsthat the word "cyclone" wus coined yearsago. What Professor Piddington says isas follows:

"Hut these, words—storm, gale, hurri-cane, tempest, etc. —are very liable to beused indiscriminately and confounded,and thus produce some perplexity, andeven misk'tid the plain seaman. Our newscience having demonstrated a circularor vortex-like (yorticular) motion, re-quires a new word to distinguish windsof all kinds having greatly curved coursesfrom those which, like the trades andmonsoons, ye may assume to beblowing in straight, or nearly straightlinc-s. I am not altogether averseto new names, but I well knowhow sailors, and indeed many laudsmun,dislike them; I suggested, however, inthe former editions that we might, per-haps, for all this last class of circular orhighly-curved winds, adopt the term'cyclone 1 (from tho Greek word whichBignilios, among other things, the coil ota snake), as neither allirming the circle tobe a true one, though the circuit maybecomplete, yet expressing stilliciently thetendency to circular motion in "thosemeteors. We should by the use of it beable, to speak without confounding nameswhich may express cither circular orstraight winds—such as 'gale,' 'storm,''hurricane,' etc.—with those which arcmore frcquentv i:so.i (as 'hurricane') todesignate merely their strength. This iswhat leads to'confusion, for we say of,and we, tho authors, ourselves, writeabout ships and places in tho same'storm,' having "the storm commencing,'the gale Increasing, 1 'the hurricane pass-ing over,' and the like, merely becausethe ships or localities of which we speakhad the wind of different degrees ofStrength, though the whole were experi-encing parts of tho same circular storm.

"('i/c.'uu/dl is a known word, but it ex-presses relation to a defined geometricalcurve, and one not sufficiently approach-ing our usual views, which arc tliose ofsomething nearly, tlioifgh not perfectly,circular. Now, ifwo used a single wordand said, the 'cyclone' commenced, in-creased, passed over, etc., we should getrid ofall this ambiguity, and use the sameword to express the same thing in allcases; and this without any relation totho strength of tho wind, for which wemight freely use all the words, 'breeze,''gale,' 'storm,' 'tempest,' •hurricane.''typhoon,' etc., as we pleased.

"Ihave now before me (October, 184(5)a newspaper extract giving an account ofa meeting of the florists, market gar-deners and others of the South Londondistrict, to consider means to repair theirlosses in a severe thunder and hail-stormwhich occurred in the month of July orAugust of that year. In this article thewords 'galo,' 'storm' and 'hurricane' areused to speak of the 'meteor,' as the

. French call it. And in another, givingan account of a storm which visitedEdinburgh on the 4th of March, the tem-pest is alternately spoken of as a 'gale'and a 'hurricane,' and Professor Nichol,of the Glasgow Observatory, finallyspeaks of it as a 'storm of translation,' o"ra 'moving whirlwind,' of large radius,but ofimmense power. The simple word'cyclone' would express all Which Pro-nssor Xichol wished to say, and liewould then, as well as the editor of thenewspaper, have had all his words to ux-pressthe violence ofthe Thailand thunder)storm without, by using the term 'hurri-cane,' for instance, leading their readersto suppose that there was anything rotaryabout the wind, If they did not mean toexpress this.

"In the first edition of this work Iventured so far to propose the now wordas to add it in a parenthesis wherever Iwished to express a wind blowing in vcircuit, whether a circle or an ellipse, ora" wind describing a spiral by its pro-gression while turning," and as the wordlias been generally approved of, and inall cases found to be not only unobjec-tionable, but often highly convenient, Ihave now, as noted at the heading of thispart, adopted it with its natural deriv-atives, 'cyclonic' and 'cyclonal,' and even'cydonology,' when speaking of our newScience, throughout the present edition.And it lias been so generally adopted thatI have reason to believe it has now be-come a recognized English, as well as aprofessional and scientific word."

The above, Mr. Kditor, is the origin ofthe word which is now in so general useamong all meteorologists to designate astorm of many miles in diameter and cir-cumference, and of a revolving nature.Certainly you and your many readershave not forgotten the severe" storm ofwind, rain and hail that panned over aportion of Colusa County last rammer,und laid waste everything; in its path, andit was but a few days ago that there was atornado orwaterspout seen from RedondoBeach, out In the ocean, kicking up thespray. Ifthat tittle circular zephyr hadreached the land there would liavo beencomplete annihilation wherever itstruck.Dana, in his work "Two Years Beforethe Mast,'" says that during a southeasterhis vessel was obliged to put to sea fromSanta Barbara, on toe coast of California,and that they (the southeastersi seldomlast above two days, and are often over intwelve hours.

Speaking ofthe storm to-day (Sunday),the following verse from *Falconer's"Shipwreck" appears to be appropriateon this occasion:"Perhaps this storm (cyclone) is scut with

luiilinir breathFrom neighboring shores to scourge disease

ami death?'Tisours on thine unerring laws to trustWith luce, great Lord, whatever is, is just."

One ofthe prominent symptom!- of a weak stateof the gastric organs is a disturbance ofthe great nerve entrepot, the brain. In-vigorate the stomach, and you restoreequilibrium to the great center. A mostreliable medicine for the purpose, is llos-tetter's Stomach Hitters, which is iarpreferable to mineral sedatives andpowerful narcotics which, though theymay for a time exert a soporific influenceupon the brain, soon cease to act, and in-variably injure the tone of the stomach.The bitters, on the com rary, restore ac-tivity to the operations of that, all-im-portant organ, and their beneficent influ-ence is reflected in sound sleep and atranquil suite of the nervous system. Awholesome impetus is likewise given tothe action of the liver and bowels by itsuse.

Talking of patent medi-cines — you know the oldprejudice. And the doctors—some of them are betweenyou and us. They wouldlike you to think that what'scured thousands won't cureyou. You'd believe in pat-ent medicines if they didn'tprofess to cure everything —and so, between the experi-ments of doctors, and theexperiments of patent medi-cines that are sold only be-cause there's money in the"stuff," you lose your faithin everything.

You can't always tell theprescription that cures bywhat you read. So, perhaps,there's no better way to sella remedy than to tell thetruth about it, and take therisk of its doing just whatit professes to do.

That's what the World'sDispensary Medical Asso-ciation, of Buffalo, N. V.,does with Doctor PiercesGolden Medical Discovery,Favorite Prescription, Pleas-ant Pellets, and Dr. Sage'sCatarrh Remedy.

The Capay Valley Land Company is offering themost fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms whichenable the purchaser to pay ior the land out of its ownproduct, viz: Interest only for five years at 7 per cent.The only condition imposed is, that a reasonable pro-portion of the land purchased shall be planted to fruittrees or vines. Land may be bought without thiscondition on payment of 20 per cent, cash and re-maining 80 per cent, at the end of five years, with in- !terest annually in advance, at 7 per cent. The varioustracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company havebeen subdivided into 10 and 20-acre lots, which are forsale at prices varying from $50 to $150 per acre. Simi-lar unimproved land in Vaca Valley has recently beensold at $400 to $500 per acre.

These Capay Valley lands are under the most favor-able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitablefruit growing, and the 'locality has proved itself to beone of the earliest in the State. The grape crop of 1890from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked,dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia beforethe Fresno County grapes.were ripe.

The railroad passes through all ofthe tracts owned bythe Capay Valley Land Company, thus insuring excel-lent shipping facilities; and land may now be purchasedin the immediate proximity of either of the followingstations: Capay, Cadenasso, Surrey, Guinda, Sauterne,Cashmere or Rumsey.

At many of these places fine orchards of the choicestand earliest varieties of peaches and apricots may alreadybe seen, and during the coming season considerable ad-ditional acreage will be planted out. One of the recentsales made by the company was that of the TancredTract, containing 600 acres, to a colony association.This tract has been subdivided into forty holdings, all ofwhich will be planted to fruit trees this season.

The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract, where 400acres have been sold, are especially worthy of mention,and it is a significant fact that several of the blocks areowned by successful Vaca Valley fruit-growers, who ex-pect to make their earliest shipments from here.

~~C APAY VALLEYT"The Earliest Fruit Land in the State.

Equal in AllRespects to the Famous Vaca Valley, Which It Adjoins.

13* INTEREST ONLY FOR FIVE YEARS AT 7 PER CENT.^I

Capay Valley is situated in Yolo County, about 90 miles by rail from San Francisco,and is traversed in its entire length by the Woodland, Capay and Clear

Lake Railroad, the distance from Esparto to Rumsey being 21 miles.

Too much stress ennnot be laid upon the great ad-vantage to the fruit-grower of being in early locality.In most cases it makes the difference between successand failure. The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley !may rest assured that he willderive all the benefits gainedby the first fruit shipments ol the season, and that 20

acres of this rich land, when the trees are in bearing, will 1yield a handsome and assured income.

The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re-siding in the valley, whose duty it is to show the varioustracts to land seekers.

Four townsites have been laid out in different pointsin the valley, viz: Esparto, Cadenasso, Guinda andRumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason-able prices and on easy terms.

The enterprising and flourishing town of Esparto issituated at the lower end of the valley, and $125,000worth of substantial buildings have already been erected,including a fine four-story brick hotel, two large brickblocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets,besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences.The town has a postoffice. school-house and a weeklypaper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraphand express offices.

Postottices have also been established at Guinda andj Rumsey. This latter place, situated at the head of thevalley, is the present terminus of the railroad. The com-fortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for huntersas well as land-seekers.

The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val-ley may be thus concisely summed up:

A soil of great fertility, yielding bountifully of everycrop.

A soil and climate which willripen all kinds of fruit andvegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State.

A climate perfectly adapted to the curing of raisins anddrying of frnit, without the aid of artificial evaporators.

Alocation that is central and close to markets. RailroadI communication which enables shipments to be madeI quickly and cheaply. Lands which are sold cheaper andj on better terms than anywhere else in the State.
