The Future Of Weather FOretelliDg.

In no other part of her wide realm has
science done so little for the good of man
or her own fame as in the department of
meteorology. In the solid earth her
prophecies have long had high value,
in the far off heavens her empire is
affirmed, but in the unstable air between
these two well possessed provinces there
10 region that is not yet subjugated.
Around the border of the domain OF me-
teorology some gains to the cause of law
and order have indeed been made; we
control the lightning, we are able to
track clearly defined storm for days on
its path, and can help the sailor to knowl-
edge that often enables him to escape its
clutches when it assails him on the deep
sea; but as for foretelling the weather in
any proper sense, we have not yet attain
ed to it.. Is it attainable? Can we hope
to compass the conditions OF our days
30 that we may SOW and reap,
travel, feast, or make war in weather of
our choice? This is, after all, perhaps,
the most interesting of the questions
that the future history of science must
determine. But though the perfect
answer is not to be given at present,
there are some things in tho existing
conditions of our science that make US
hopeful that we are but at the beginning
of the work of weather forecasting,
There are two distinct scientific efforts
at weather foretelling, as distinguished
from the current survival of the modes of
thought of ancient nges that are intro
duced in our ordinary weather prophe-
cies, that undertaken by Admiral Fitz-
roy, in England, and that begun in this
country by the United States Signal
Corps, under the control of the late Cen
eral Myer. Both of these have made
their basis of the simple principle that
weather always has history; that it
means conditions that pass from one re-
gion to another by certain laws OF move
ment and at certain rate. This general
fact was long ago recognized by meteor
Ologsts, but it was not until the tele-
graph enabled knowledge to outstrip
the storms that it was possible to make
any use of it in foretelling the weather.
BY the admirable labors of the United
States Signal Service this method of
announcing the weather that is jour
neying towards any locality has been
brought to high point of perfection,
but 1t has not to any extent helped
us to foretell the creation of weather.
When weather area forms in the far
West, it is now traced as clearly as the
path of an army, until it passes
away. Sometimes the state OF the
barometer will tell something about
storms that have not yet gathered them
selves for their eastward march, but be-
yond this there have as yet been no
means of foreseeing. The weather
bureau is of no more use than ground
hog or o goose-bone for telling us
whether our coming spring or summer is
to be warm or cold, rainy OF dry. Is
this the end of our advance? Can we
hope to Go no more than take the storms
we find aAoat, and trace them on their
courses; or can we hope to look behind
them to the conditions of their origin so
clearly that we can foretell their cause
and place Of working g?-[ November At
