Removal of the Central Weather
office.

1t is a matter Of regret that Olympia
has lost the distinction of being the
central Office OF the weather bureau in
this State, Mr.. Alciatore. the Director,
having received instructions from the
Chief OF the Weather Bureau to re-
move to Seattle at once. This station
will be continued, under the supervi.
sion OF George H. Wilson, now in
charge of the Seattle Office, but it will
be like railway flag station, open to
such business as applies, but will not
put out the interesting reports that
have made the service so much priced
by our people. Mr.. Alciatore will
leave Saturday afternoon, and Messrs.
Payne and Hartman, his assistants,
soon as Mr.. Wilson reports for duty.
which will be about Sunday. 1t is
said that this change has been made
by the Department Of Agriculture for
the reason that the Legislature failed
to make an appropriation for the col
lection and dissemination OF weather
and crop statistics, in which case (the
Olympian- Tribune declares) it is the
policy to remove the headquarters
from the State center to the CONNER
cial center. It would be matter Of
considerable interest for any person
who is posted to give some reason for
this "pOlicy." Are the public inter-
ests better subserved by its location at
the commercial center? If 80, the
appropriation OF few dollars to aid in
its maintenance should not place it in
an inferior position; if not. the failure
to appropriate should not suggest a
change. 1t is difficult to discover how
an appropriation by the whole State
should influence choice, for or against,
any given place. The fact is that the
Olympia service, under Mr.. Alciatore,
has been so excellent, and was attract
ing so much comment, that Seattle
wanted it for bob to her kite. The
"Senator from New York." who owns
property at Seattle, requested the bu-
reau to make the change, and it was
done.

observed by the Roman Catholic, the

Playing with an Iceberg.

A few years ago French man-of-war
was lying at anchor in Temple bay, and the
younger officers took it into their heads to
amuse themselves with an iceberg mile
or more distant in the straits. They would
have a sumptuous picnic on the very top of
it. All the warnings of the brown and sim
pie fishermen went for nothing with these
gentlemen who had seen the world.
1t was a bright summer morning, and
the jolly boat with flag went off to the
berg. BY IL o'clock the colors were flying
from the top, and the wild midshipmen
were reveling on the ice mountain. For
two hours or more they hacked it and clam.
bered over it, They frolicked and Toasted
and laughed at the very thought of danger
on this solid ice.
When, like thoughtless children, the
young men mad played themselves weary,
they descended to their cockleshell OF a
boat and rowed away
AS if time and distance had been meas
ured on purpose for the men to view the
scene in safety, the great iceberg lay silent
until the boat was certain distance off.
Then, as if its heart had been volcanic fire,
it burst with awful thunder and filled the
surrounding water with its ruins.
Awed and subdued by the scene of de
struction and thrilled at their narrow es-
cape from death, the picnickers returned
to their ship 1t was their first and last
day of amusement with an iceberg. -

Marine Engines For Land Service.

An interesting departure in engineering
is the introduction of marine engines for
land service. One of the great electric
Illuminating companies, it appears, has
adopted them in its work, and concerning
their economy in respect to space and
power it is reported that the land engine
takes up some ten times as much space as a
marine engine, and the marine quadruple
expansion engine has ten times the heating
surface of the land engine. Further, the
new quadrupleX two crank expansion en-
CINE is twice as powerful as the triple ex-
pansion three crank engine, occupies also
30 per cent less room and carries regularly
210pounds of steam. The land engine carries
only 80 or 80 pounds of steam and gets one
horsepower out of from to 10 pounds of
anthracite coal, while the quadruple ex-
pansion marine engine develops one horse
power out of ~ pounds of Welsh coal
that is, according to these data, the land
engine requires from two to four times as
much coal as the marine engine to produce
the same power.-Age of Steel.
