The Importance or the Signal Service
Weather Mans.

The observations being taken by the Sig
nal Service Bureau staff simultaneously over
the United States and telegraphed at regular
intervals during each day to each station as
well as to the central Office at Washington,
enables the Chief Signal Officer and the local
observers to publish every day chart of the
weather over the entire country. This chart
gives the temperature, barometrical pres
sure, degree of cioudiness and the velocity
and direction Of the wind at each station,
from which data 'the probabilities for the
ensuing twenty four hours are carefully de-
duced and given to the press. The system
is so near perfection that we are daily APP
prised of the slightest changes in the atmos-
pheric conditions at the most distant points,
and can tell with certainty whether winter
overcoats are in order in Chicago, Arctic
rubbers in Toronto or umbrellas at Mobile.
The agricultural interests of the entire coun-
try are immensely benefited by the
timely information afforded by the weather
maps. Farmers are enabled to regulate their
operations so as to avoid interruption from
freaks of the weather, or make timely prep
aration for coming rain storms or severe
frosts The safe navigation Of the lakes and
the Gulf of Mexico is facilitated by the eau
tionary signals which are hoisted at the sew
eral ports of departure, sometimes days in
advance Of the threatened gale; but intelli-
gent shipmasters, by studying the daily
weather charts, can form very accurate
opinion as to probable changes. We have
examined the systems adopted by European
nations for their signal service, but none can
compare with ours in the matter of accuracy
and perfection of detail. The attention of
Congress should be drawn, however, to the
miserable pay allowed to class of most in
telligent and deserving public servants. We
refer to the observer sergeants of the Signal
Service. Men who are qualified to discharge
the onerous duties imposed upon these Off
Gals are certainly worthy of better pay and
more consideration generally than dock
laborer or an Indifferent mechanic can easily
earn. The safety of millions worth of prop
erty depends on the vigilance and good con-
duct of the sergeants Of the Signal Service,
and We hope that proper provision will be
made for them by the next Congress-

RAPID TRANsIT.-The articles Of associa-
ton of the Manhattan Rapid Transit Com
pany are to be submitted to the Commission
ers next Monday. The company is to be
limited to the time designated for the COM
pletion of the road under penalty Of the for
fixture of their franchise. The road is to
be built on Third avenue if possible, and
there certainly can be nothing to prevent it
under the law. Canyassers are to start at
once to obtain the consent of property
owners but if this consent should be re-
fused the courts can order the work should
it be found to be required in the public
interests. There can be no doubt that
Third avenue is the most proper and would
probably be the only successful route, and
the undisguised attempt of the Third avenue
horse car company to defeat rapid transit
should only confirm the commission and the
people in the determination to build the
road on that route. The next Legislature
will soon be in session, and care should DO
taken that its members are friendly to rapid
transit and prepared to punish any attempt
on the part Of the street railroad lines to de-
feat it by undue means.

Future Naval Tactics.

What with rams and eighty ton guns mat
ters begin to look as though such expensive
iron-clads as the French and British have
been building for dozen years past are out
Of date before they come into practical use.
After the sinking of the Vanguard the other
day there is no longer the least doubt Of the
enectivepess Of ram, and the naval COM
inanRer who is exposed to such an instru-
Inent IN actual war will think it his duty to
Keep out OF its way. Two huge iron-clads,
each armed with ram, will probably when
tney sight each other turn about and run
away as fast as they can. At least this would
be the only sensible thing to do
The next naval war the world sees will be
probably controlled by speed. That bellig-
erent which can place on the ocean the
greatest number of the feetest steamers will
defeat its opponent, and it will do so in de-
fiance of numbering iron-clads, no matter
how heavy their plating how formidable
their rams or how big their guns.
This class of ships may perhaps be
used in future wars as floating batteries, adj
Juncts for the defence of harbors useful if
OolPCuoe5 uHu eafLlWOrkS 90 not SuInce
But for that purpose our monitors are much
cheaper and more practical than the War
riors and Sovereigns AS to war on the
broad ocean, it will be conducted by clip
pers, whose aim will be to keep out of the
way of the heavy guns and cripple the
enemy's commerce. Thus there will be OPP
portunity for men of the character of Farra-
gut and Lord Dundonald and the element
of mere brute defence and impenetrability
which threatened to make blacksmith the
most important person in feet will be
eliminated. In the combats of the Middle
Ages the knight, panoplied in armor, rode in
perfect safety at his enemy's men-at-arms.
But if his horse was killed under him he lay
helpless, and had to be cracked open with a
sledgehammer by his captors in order to give
him q chance to breathe. He was simply a
big bully and one of these huge iron-olads
is nothing more. The clippers will carry
the day over them, for they can run away
from them, and they do not cost SO much.

The PANDORA ON HER WAY.-The HERALD's
special cable despatch from London brings
the gratifying intelligence that the Pandora
has been heard from, and that all is going
on we'll on board Letters from Captain
Allen Young and another officer of the
vessel bear date August 6 and 0; the
former dated ct Disco, where the Pandora
coaled, and the latter at Waygart Straits.
The crew were all working well, the disci-
pline was admirable, and the commander
endearing himself to all by his kindness and
efficiency. Some icebergs had been encoun-
tered, but the Pandora had fortunately
escaped injury. 1t is to be hoped that the
voyage thus propitiously commenced may
have happy termination.

only reason for his bitter speech. The neces-

founded apprehension that the public opinion
of the city will condemn this abuse of his
dictatorial authority. Recorder Hackett will
be reelected is spite of Mr.. Kelly, who is in
danger Of having the whole Tammany slate

injustice He has furnished the opportunity
which his democratic enemies covet to break

same fate which attended Mr.. James Hayes
last year and furnish new demonstration
that Tammany nomination is not equiva-
lent to an election when public feeling is
aroused in favor of different candidate.
1t would be idle to comment on the other
machine nominations which were run through
yesterday, for although some of them may be
respectable they are merely John Kelly's
nominations, and the people of the city will
not think well of his selections after his
attempt to drive an upright and admired
democratic Judge from the Bench. If the
opposition to Tammany combines and Sc
lects a really good ticket, including Re

beaten, as it richly deserves to be, consider

Mr.. stanley,s Second Letter.

Mr.. SANKEY'S second letter, which we print
this morning, will be read with even more
pleasure than was afforded by the story of
his march to the Victoria Niyanza, which we
published yesterday. 1t is. in this epistle
that we have the account of the valuable dis
coveries he has already made, and it will be
seen that it gives much ground to hope
for more important results than have yet
been obtained. The search after the
ing in the nineteenth century as was the dis
covery of America in the fifteenth, and the
problem at last seems in fair way of COM
plete and satisfactory solution. Great priva-
tons were endured and terrible dangers,
both from a treacherous foe and treacherous
climate were met and overcome in reaching
the real basis of the operations of the expe-
dition but it was to be expected that Mr..
Stanley would be compelled to confront all
these before he could even begin to investi-
gate the sources Of that mighty river whose
fame is older than history ITSELF and the Sc
cret of whose fountains is still locked up in
the jungles of Equatorial Africa. Mr. Stan
ley's second letter deals entirely with his
exploration of the Victoria Niyanza and
treats of the geography of the lake Of
the rivers which flow into it and the coun-
tries which surround it. From beginning to
end it is replete with facts, and full as it is
it is not SO complete as our correspondent
wished to make it, for even in the village of
Kagehyi, in the district Of Uchambi, and the
country of Usukuma the mail sometimes
closes before prolific letter writers are ready
for it. Notwithstanding this was the case
the expedition was complete success, and
Mr.. SANKEY'S descriptions are an invaluable
contribution to our knowledge of the almost
unknown land and unfurrowed waters he
was sent to explore and describe. In spite
of many obstacles from treachery and ex-
haustion, disease and death the beginning of
his great work must be regarded as suspicious,
and we cannot doubt that he will fulfil Liv-
ingstone's unaccomplished mission to our sat
isfaction and that of our ally in this
expedition and Of the scientific world. For
the first time in the history of African explo-
ration the work is undertaken with adequate
means for its accomplishment, and the Lady
Alice will doubtless contribute her full share
to the success Of the work. We may expect,
as the result of Mr. SANKEY'S Investigations,
the settlement Of the long-yexed question of
the Nile sources, apart from the scarcely less
an interesting and almost unknown region.
