ST.. JOSEPH, Mo, Feb. 16.-My

tains by close Of March 1st, the great

The warm wave will oioss tho west
ern mountains about February 18th,
the great central valleys about March
I'd, and the eastern states about the
4th. The cool wave viii cross the
western mountains about March 3D.,
the great c%cutral valleys about the
9th and the eastern states about the
7th. This cool wave will grow more
moro severe as it progresses eastward.
A largo amount of rain is expected

WEATHER
Those who strive TO find a defect in
long range weather forecasts in order
that they may play the critic, arc not
pursuing a course that will benefit
themselves or the public. The time
will probably never come when wealth.
or forecasts will be perfect, but enough
Of the causes have been discovered to
make these forecasts Of practical util.
ity and prospects are very bright for
more rapid progress than ever before.
Not many years ago it was believed
that all weather changes were local,
accidental, coming from every direc-
ton and with no regular periods, be-
ing the principal changes, are given
in these weather bulletins.
1t is further known that the storm
waves move around the earth in about
twenty nine days and the time is prob
ably not very fer away when VIC can
point ou', in advance, the path Of each
storm wave across our continent,
across the Atlantic, through Europe
and Asia, across tho Pacific, again
reaching our own western coast and
beginning anew its ceaselsss round in
its allotted time, but along another
path because Of the changed electrical
ambitions brought on by the chang.
ing positions Of sun, moon and plan
cts.
The weather student who desires to
be benefited, rather than to criticise,
has learned that the weather changes
come, with a few exceptions, within
one day Of the dates given in these
bulletins. and millions Of people 10
the United States take these weather
bulletins as their guides.
But those who study the weather
signs, always hung out in the atmos-
phere, will be most benefited. Spe.
c,6o rules cannot be given for oil
cases, and therefore it is necessary to
understand basic principles 10 order
to 80 sure the greatest benefit. Many
people, through q lack Of knowledge,
violate the laws Of our country. Spe.
ci6c laws cannot be made for every
case, but those who have learned the
underlying principles Of government
have a sure guide by which to deter.
mine whether an act is criminal. So
it is in metcrology. To know q few
Of the basic principles will greatly aid
in determining future weather events
some Of which canuos be covered by
specific forecasts.
The low barometcrs are fed from
the high barometers. One OF these
feeders is located north east of Win.
