PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Daily Graphic Of Saturday :-"From o state
ment in tabular form prepared by Mr.. Thompson,
published in the Genteman's Magazine for November
and reprinted in the HERALD of this morning.
very complete and satisfactory idea of the compara
tive efficiency Of the HERALD's system Of storm
warnings may be obtained. Mr.. Thompson chose
for the time during which to take his observations
those months OF the year in which what might be
called the chances would be rather against than in
favor Of the weather system Of our esteemed con-
temporary. After giving the total results Of his
careful comparisons the writer adds In foot note
that the percentage Of successful warnings published
this year by HERALD is far larger and pro-
nounced than in 1873 or the twenty-sovcn storm
warnings included in Mr.. Thompson's list sixteen
are mentioned perfectly successful predictions.
eight partial successes. q success so far
Great Britain was concerned and two only as fail
ures. When the difhcult and complicated character
OF the problems involved in these predictions is
considered this is certainly remarkable exhibit
and will justify esteemed contemporary in lay
ing claim to being the greatest meteorological phil
anthropst well as the greatest newspaper Of the
age; and il claim for salvage could be set up In
such case the strong boxes of our neighbor would
bulge out with gold and gratitude. Even it is the
marine insurance companies must look to it that
they be not driven out of business at last by the ef
Aciency and trustworthiness Of one Of the depart
ments OF Q single daily newspaper.
