PROF. HENRY ALLEN HAZEN.

Th© Man Who Proposes to Find th© Tor* nado’s Secret. Prof. Henry Allen Hazen, a United States meteorologist stationed at Washington, is making preparation* tor a series of unique tests. He proposes to make 1,000 high altitude balloon ascensions for the purjftse of ascertain ng why and how tornadoes are generated, and, if possible, ol

devising some means of dissipating their power. A monster balloon is being constructed for his use, in which he will seek the upper air three times a day until his work is completed. Our picture shows Mr. Hazen in his suit of furs, worn for protection against the extreme cold of the high altitudes.
