TIE SIGNAL SERVICE.

The New Organization of the Bureau
A System of interchangeable Re-
ports Between the United States and
Europe-Other improvements.
WASHINGTON, August ls 1874.
The Signal Bureau, the youngest OF the scientific
children OF the government, presses on in its hu.
mantarian work, in the interest of commerce,
agriculture and science. Not content with pro-
yiding for the safety OF mariners on our own
shores, General Myers has perfected arrangements
with the different European meteorolog1sts for
grand International system of reports, the
oenent OF which VIII speedily accrue to
American seamen in any part OF the world
Since the Ist OF January. in All the principal En-
ropean nations, observations have been taken
each morning at The same moment Of time that
has been selected or the regular signal stations in
this country, and these are forwarded by mail
semi-monthly TO the Signal Once in Washington
Tor discussion, in connection with the regular
ports OF this country. Nearly 200 foreign stations
are now engaged in this WORK, and sufficient data
Will soon be collected Tor the deduction Of general
laws In relation to the movements OF the armos-
phere that Will mark era IN meteOrOOgy.
the Signal Office Will be Issued daily in printed
torm Tor the use Of all meteoroogists
The large corps OF observers which has worked
% efficiently for the smithsonian Institution, under
the able supervision OF Professor Henry, was trans
ferred to the Signal once January l. and since
that date the series OF observations over 400 In
number, has peen used in connection with the
regular synchronous reports from the regular sta
tons.
The Surgeon General OF the army, recognizing
tho Droprlety OF concentrating all Official mere0-
Tologcal work In the country In single once, on
she lst Of July OF this year directed that IN future
the reports made &C the military posts In the
United States by members OF the medical corps
should be forwarded to the Signal ONCE. THIS
class Of observations being made by trained men
at points scattered over the whole territory OF the
United States cannot fail to be q valuable aux
1nary 20 the regular system OF the sigma ONCE.
In addition to the receipt and discussion OF this
large amount OF data additional labor has been
thrown upon the signal Once IN the construction
AND management OF telegraphic lines IN Texas,
Arizona, California and on the seaboard OF the
Atlantic States.
When IL Is considered that all this work is done
~ the small number of 450 men, the total enlisted
force under the control OF the sigma ONCE, and
with an annual appropriation Of less than s4OO OOO
II Will be seen that there cannot be idiers among
the men nor any wasteful expenditure OF money.

ICOyOCEASN.

Don Quixote took tilt at the wind
mills, but the editor of the Courier
Journal charges church steeples. He
asks:
Why not abolish the church steeples?
Is there any part of a building so ut
terly useless as a steeple? 1t can
neither be constructed, nor kept in re-
pair without great danger to human
life, and it doesn't look well after the
best that can be done for it has been
done. As if heaven itself were pro-
testing against the folly of this I'M
slightly heap, scarcely thunderstorm
passes over the country which does not
hurl It's bolts against some church
steeple. During a storm this summer
in New Jersey, steeple was struck
three times in succession. The other
day lightning struck the steeple of
church in Ohio, and nine women in the
church were FRUSTRATED, five of whom
may never recover. Why should we
set up targetsf for the lightning? Even
if the road to heaven really lies through
the atmosphere, we have surer guides
to it than church spires. We would be
gamers by building our churches on
modest plans. The story of the Tower
of Babel is quite enough to show that
heaven is brought no nearer by build
ING high in the air.
