WALTZ KINGS JUBILEE.
Music Losers the World Over Do Honor to

Music Loters the World Over Do Honor to
 Strauss Today.
 NEW YORK. Oct l5.-In Vienna mu- sicians from all parts of the world are eel ebrating the golden jubilee of the King of the Waltz, Johann Strauss. It is 90 years since ho wielded baton, and Americans havo contributed silver wreath for tho occasion. Rudolph Aronson was the pro moter of the idea, and all the great mu siCians of America have contributed.
 Strauss was born in 1895. When he was only years, old he became a com poser. At Is he was a clerk in a savings bank, and at lg he made his debut as conductor in a concert hall. From that time on he devoted himself entirely to music, and for more than a quarter of a century his principal compositions were dance music His opus 314. On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Is now a na- tional Austrian popular piece. It was originally written for male chorus and orchestra. and it paved the way for its composers entrance into the field of oper- etta In 1871 Strauss produced at the Theater an der Trotten his Indigo und | die Vierzig Rauber," 7" his great operetta- In this country he Is known most widely as the writer of Tho Merry War, '' ''The Queens Lace Handkerchief" Prince Methusalem, 'The Gypsy Baron and Indigo. a Night In Venice"
 Strauss visited this country in 1869, when he appeared at Gilmore's Peace Jubilee" in Boston and at the Academy of Music. New York, where he conducted several of his own compositions. The 1 wreath presented by the Americans Is oi | sterling silver, Is inches in diameter. and was designed by Mir. Paulding Farnham | of Tiffany & Co. There arc 50 leaves or | each of which the name of a composition of Strauss is engraved. The Waltz Kings portrait modelled in relief on a gold Tyre with few bars of his famous "On tho Beautiful Blue Danube' waltz. is tC adorn the apex of the wreath. while ths base shows graceful intermingling o the American and Austrian flags with | the Austrian coat of arms and the in scription. Presented to Johann Strauss by his American admirers. Oct 15, 1894. .
 The composer Brahms, Pauline Lucci and other musical celebrities attended tn, noon concert Sunday. Herr Strauss sal in the background of one of the centra boxes, with his wife and stepdaughter 1T front of him. but he was repeatedly com 1 pelled by the plaudits of the assembling, to come forward and bow.
 The scenes at the opera house and al | the concerts wore of unparalleled enthu siasm. There was hardly a writer, acto or musician in Europe who did not senS gift

STUDYING THE ATMOSPHERE.
What Il Expected Of Kites at Massa-
chusetts Observatory.
(Roefon Hpraldl


It Is only the expert meteorologist who
can appreciate the Importance or value OF
Mr.. Eddy's kite experiment on Blue Hill.
yet the weather Is interesting TO all, and
of all subjects Of scientific research IT
probably appeals most to the popular
mind. The Weather Bureaus labors have
made a place for the institution. Its out
givings on the weather are awaited in
some lines Of commercial endeavor In a
way that would be hardly believed 10
one not familiar with the facts.
Seamen and seafaring people on the
coast. farmers In the West, and shippers
of all sorts of merchandise have intimate
daily relations with the weather map.
Many of the general conclusions drawn
from the bureaus compilations are gain
ing a wide recognition, many times In the
most unexpected quarters. The normal
isobars and isotherms. for instance. CIV

cally, OF a State or a part Of the country.
are only possible till after long periods
OF uninterrupted and unremitting obser
yation The bureau has now q years
OF such work behind 1t. aud has just
about reached the point where a valuable
conclusion In the matter OF the weather
can be reached.
An invalid, for example, may need a
certain kind of climate The doctor I'm
charge consults the Weather Bureau, and
is promptly told where the precise pro-
portions Of heat. dryness. freedom or
otherwise from storms or any other conf
bnation OF weather conditions can be
found. A farmer desires the same sort
OF informant but having relations TO the
demands OF certain crop. and just as
promptly the bureau can tell him from its
twenty-three years records where he may
look for the weather he desires. What is
good for one twenty-three years Is proba-
bly, good for the next similar period.
Mining, fish propagation. irrigatIng pro-
jects, etc. are equally dependent on
THIS KIND OF KNOWLEDGE.
When 1t Is remembered that more money
il invested in the far West In irrigation
than in the Pacific railroads. the magnl-
tude of the interests involved and the
value Of accurate knowledge on q matter
SO peculiarly close TO irrigation as the
weather Is easily apparent A single we'll
established fact In Rocky mountain me-
teorology would pay for all the bureau
has cost thus far. In the benefits to irri-
eating problems alone. All this knowledge
depends on steady. routine work Of q
bureau.
There is another body Of weather pro-
phets, howsver, investigating the air and
its mysteries. 1t Is to them that the kite
idea appeals as an instrument. and the
success Of the Blue-Hill experiments
ought to mean an almost new light In
meteorology.
