THE POWER OF THE WIND
In America a tornado will cut through a tow r n or forest like a scythe through hay. Boulders of rock are lifted and transported for hundreds of feet, and heavy trains are blown off the line. Animals and human beings are sometimes whirled away for more than half a mile, and large numbers are hulled. While the wind can -be man’s enemy, it is more generally his friend. It is the wind that brings rain to irrigate fields and gardens, and gives cities and towms a constant supply of fresh air, carrying away smoke and dust. The sailing ship and yacht owe their power to travel to the wind.
