The Folly of 1t.
Just this state Of affairs was foreseen by
NAAASA SoASlA uCtOT f1lCHDOTn last 1all,
his annual report he pointed out the folly
OF allowing the forces of trained expert
workmen whom the department had gath.
cred at the yards with great difficulty and
after thorough examination as to their
abilities. to be dissipated through lack of
employment. and he strongly recommended
that Congress adopt the policy of keeping
at least one large warship under cons true.
tion at all times In every constructive navy
yard. Partly with view to keeping to-
gether the splendid body of machinists who
have been trained at the Washington navy
yard to fabricate the best naval ordnance
in the world. Capt. Sampson, chief of the
ordnance bureau. also besought Congress
to make provision for continuing the work
which is soon to be curtailed largely there,
by authorizing the manufacture of guns for
the vessels of our auxiliary navy, now
numbering thirty, and worthless without
their armament. But notwithstanding the
fact that Secretary Herbert himself in
dorsed these projects, Congress refused tc
make the necessary appropriations, and
hence there must be considerable reduc.
ton of force.

JUNE TEMPERATURES
Washington and Baltimore Records
Are About Equal
But THERE ARE OTHERS MUCH HOTTER
ss.ssGsrss
The Record for Nineteen Years is
Favorable to Washington.
THE COOL NIGHTS HERE
But THERE ARE OTHERS MUCH HOTTER
THE COOL NIGHTS HERE

The city of Baltimore has been pluming
itself lately on account of the pretended
discovery Of the fact that that city is con-
siderably cooler in the month of June than
Washington, and the inhabitants of the
monumental city are putting on a good
many airs in the Eotien that their place is
becoming a veritable summer resort. This
would of course, be important If true. but
unfortunately for the pride OF the Baiti-
n,oreans 1t is not true.
The matter came most prominently to
general attention through tie medium of a
recent letter to the Baltimore Sun from a
local statistician named Hall, who. by
some jugglery of the figures covering the
first twenty-five days Of June. managed to
show that Baltimore had. for that period,
an average temperature of 751 degrees as
against S2.6 for Washington. Closely fol-
lowing this letter. The Star received a COM
munication from a correspondent who
signed the initials "E. P. g." pointing out
the fact that Mr.. Helrs figures were er-
ratio and unreliable. ss he had evidently
mixed up the maximum with the 8 pm.
temperatures, and he seriously questioned
the reliability of the entire statement that
Baltimore was actually cooler during June
than Washington. In order to settle this
vital point of controversy between the two
cities The Star has Investigated the mat
ter at the United States weather bureau,
ard has obtained absolutely reliable infor-
nation that goes to show that the June
temperatures of Washington and Baltimore
are, for the current year. practically the
same, and for the past nineteen years have
averaged exactly the same.
1t would be surprising il such were not
the case, as the two cities are SO close to-
gether that they are under practically the
same meteorological conditions. Any such
difference as that indicated by Mr.. Hall.
namely, seven and ore-half degrees would
be little short of phenomenal. and would
indicate something radically wrong in
either the recording instruments or the
general climatic arrangements of the globe.
The long record, that is to say. the record
running over nineteen years, which Is the
longest period now covered by official sta
fistics. shows that the two cities are re-
markably close together in the point Of
temperature. Washington seems to be a
trife cooler In the winter and a shade
cooler In the midst of the heated term. The
average temperature for the year, based
upon the figures for nineteen years past, is
55.3 in Baltimore and $50 in Washington,
this city thus having three-tenths of de-
gree less heat recorded at the end of the
year. Mr.. Halls comparisons in the Sun
covered not only Washington and Baiti-
more, but New York and Philadelphia.
This is not an absolutely fair test, as the
other two cities are in different latitude.
and are therefore subject to different con-
ditions. Tho nineteen year record for these
four cities by months is as follows:
Evening star., 1895-07-11

=
Thus 1t will be. seen that Philadelphia is
cooler than Washington, which is cooler
than Baltimore and that New York, being
the farthest north of all four, is the coolest
of all. A better comparison between four
cities would be along the same line of lati-
tude. and for this purpose four better ex-
amples could not be chosen than Washing
ton. Baltimore, Cincinnati and st. Louis
This. Of course, carries the line inland, yet
neither Washington nor Baltimore are
coast cities, strictly speaking, and hence
the comparison is not unjust to Cincinnati
or st. Louis, which in the tables that follow
are shown to be considerably warmer.
In calculating the average or mean tenn
perature OF a locality the rule Is to take the
maximum and minimum as extremes, and.
adding them, divide by two, SO as to obtain
the central point of the range for the day.
Thus the average maximum added to the
average minimum for the month and di-
vided into half will give the mean tenn
perature for the month. The following
table gives the minimum and maximum of
each day for the thirty days of June 1895,
for each of the four cities, and shows that
in point Of GOODNESS they range thus: Bal
timore. TAPS; Washington. 74.5; Cincinnati,
75S; st. Louis. 1855 The temperatures are
given in the order of the days from the first
Of the month to the thirtieth. The mini
mum temperature is given first, separated

PLANNING RAPID TRANSIT.
Steps Taken by Residents of the SiIve,
Spring Region.

Steps Taken by Residents of the Silver
Spring Region.
For some time the residents of Silver
Spring, Woodside, Linden and Forest Glen
have felt the need of additional rapid tram
sit facilities for travel to and from Wash
ington. Practical steps toward the build
ing Of an electric line to connect with the
Brightwood road at North Takoma were
taken by a number of interested property
owners at a meeting last night in the Ii
brary of the National Park Seminary at
Forest Glen. There were present Benz. F.

After considerable discussion of various
routes from the present North Takoma
terminus of the Brghtwood road to Forest
Glen, in which it was developed that most
Of the property owners interested would
grant right Of way for the road. a COM
mittee was appointed to investigate the
ton the matters of expense Of construction
and operation. concessions Of rights of way
and subscriptions to stock, and report at a
meeting to be held on the oath instant.
The committee, consisting of Messrs
Browning, Cassidy, Harr, Lawrence, Childs,
Leighton, Deeble, Theodore W. Noyes and
]. c. Dowell, will meet at Forest Glen
Friday afternoon and go over the lands
near or through which it is proposed to
run the road. A communication was read
from the officers Of the Brightwood road,
which evinced desire to cooperate with
the parties interested and furnish transpor-
tation to and from the city. The country
through which it is proposed to construct
this road is largely owned and occupied by
people engaged in public. or private bus
mess in Washington, and the need of rapid,
frequent. clean and cheap transportation
is now seriously felt by them, and will,
they think. rapidly increase ss the locah-
ties develop.
