THE HYDRoGRAPHIc BUREAU.
The Work That It Has Accomplished in

Assistant photographer c. Hatch, in
charge of the branch photographic Office in
this city, was given notice yesterday that
he would have to Vacate the office ia the
custom house for Col. Chamberlain, special
agent of the treasury department Mr..
Hatcn Immediately telegraphed the matter
TO Washington, and received a reply that
Lieut.. g. L. Dyer, chief photographer at
Washington, will be in Savannah to-day,
and will doubtless secure an office some
where else on OF near the Bay before he re-
turns to Washington. He wants to take
look at the harbor and shipping of Sa-
vannah.
The branch photographic office here is
very popular with mariners, and they have
availed Themselves liberally Of the nautical
Information furnished by the Office.
Hydrographer Hatch visited twenty-one
OF the steamships in the harbor yesterday,
and compared their barometers with the
Standard anerold barometer, furnishing
each vessel with tag, showing the varia-
ton fro II the true barometer Mr.. Hatcn
says that the barOmeters tested varied from
% OF an inch down to .01 Of an inch.
The following steamships accepted the
blank book for reporting the daily marine
meteorology: The Spanish steamships
Bonita and Duquesa De Vistahermosa, and
the British steamships Sapphire, Ichavia,
Bessaraoia. Cyprus, Napier, Timore, Carl
ton, Albania, Scaw Fell, Evelyn, Elgln-
shire, Helvetia, Rydal Water, Ross-shire,
Giendower, Washington City, Piqua, Suez.

II may be easily torn out and inclosed in

Tor the purpose, and mailed at the first port
the vessel reaches after the months observa-
ton has been made up. The observations
are taken daily at Greenwich noon, and
begin by showing the barometric variations
az the time OF rating at this port. The
observations embrace the latitude and
longitude at the time of each daily obser-
Walton, the true direction OF the wind, the
force of the wind, the barometer aud at
tached thermometer, the temperature of
both the air dry bulb and the wet bulb, the
temperature of the water at the surface, the
state OF the weather by sym OILS, the form
OF the clouds and the true direction from
which the sea is moving, gale and storm
reports, fog reports and ice reports. Dere-
licts, wreckage, buoys adrift, etc., are also
to tie noted
These monthly reports are to be sent to
the branch photographic Office in this city,
and they will then be forwarded to the
chief photographer at Washington. These
observations, taken in all parts of the
maritime world. will be invaluable in the
preparation of marine charts by the hydro
graphic office at Washington. Mariners
are taking deep interest in the matter, for
records will be kept at all ports in this
county where there is q branch hydro
graphic office, so that at any time they will
be able to read tue ocean pathways as fully
as the landsman can read the profiles of a
land survey
