Careful estimate of the force of a

that makes the mightiest efforts of mail

force fully equal to over 400.000,000
horse power was estimated as developed Iu a West Indian cyclone. This
Is about fifteen time the power that
can be developed by all the mean within the range of man's capabilities during the same time.
