The obeervations are to be made daily at 9 a.m.,
and the adoption of London time at all the railway
stations will ensure the complete simultaneity of these
observation. . .

It ii---sc7arcely necessary to paint out the sci-
entific importance of such reports. Though much
has been done of late years to throw light upon the
theory of the laws which regulate storms and atmo-
spheric phenomena in general, mock remains to be
I done. Extensive and continuous local observations,
systematically pursued, are required in a great number
of countries, to complete the observations cf striking at-
moep heric phenomena, extending over considerable por-
tions of the globs which have been published. It oar
attempt succeed, as we have no doubt it will, the ex-
ample will, we are sure, be followed in Belgium,
America, and other countries, where the combination
of the nrilway and electric telegraph, and the de-
velopment of the daily press, afford similar facilities
to the undertaking to those which exist in this coun-
try . Our @moms will, in fact, redound to the honour
of the railway and the press, u showing that they are
capable of contributing with unprecedented power to
the expansion of knowledge as well as to the increase
of the material wealth of society; and that their
conductors are capable of aspiring to this nobler kind
of usefulness. The results of the knowledge which
must thus be acquired will possess a high radical
utility as well as philosophical interest, for it is im-
possible.. to conjecture beforehand the extent to which
na , horticulture. agriculture, and even mecha-
• prmesses of manufacture, may be benefited by
luster news and more extended knowledge of meteoro-
logical science.
