subject to criticism by the public for their
failures. On comparing the criticisms
on the work of the bureau from different
portions Of the country. 1t is seen that the
people who best understand the difficulties
their criticisms, and that generally the
press has been fair in their etatemnets.
This is no doubt in q measure due to
the advantage that the reporters OF the
press have in their frequent visits to the
central and local offices of the Weather
Bureau, by which they are more in touch
with the details OF the work itself. In
the same way, the more familiar the
people Of any locality are with the way Of
making the forecasts, the more considerate
they are OF failures to reach perfection.
The Weather Bureau, therefore, wishes
every one to know as much as possible
about this subject, and only regrets the
criticisms that arisc from impatience and
impartial knowledge.
Meteoroiogy as q science is in fome re-
spects still in its elementary stages of
growth, and there is much to he discovered
about the laws controlling the atmosphere.
The wonder ia that so imperfect a science
can have already contributed so much to
the benefit and protection Of our people.
I It's to be hoped that maps OF artistic
merit may become regular features of the
Journalism of the large cities of the United
States.
WHAT THE LINES MEAN
The first thing to understand is how
to draw in the lines that appear on the map

and third coIunins as printed on the right
hand side Of each large weather map
issued by the Weather Bureau. II any one
will copy the base map and these figures
for a few days in uccession and then plot
in the isotherns and the isobaB, and Will
thus watch the variable positions on the
maps from day TO day of the lines of the
same name "a ciea T idea of the fundamental
features of the weather map will soon be
secured.
SOME SYMBOLS USED.
In addition to these lines the symbols
for wind aud weather are used; for wind
an arrow on the station circle points the
way the wind blows, and for weather:
Clear, u fne line circle; cloudy, heavy
lins circle; partly cloudy, bar circle;
rain. solid circle; snow, q three bar
circle; general rain area Is shaded on
the map.
Near the center OF an area Of bIgh pres
sure above 5000 inches is placed the
word "high." and near the center of q
region Of pressure less than 5000 inches
Is placed the word "low" A low-pres-
sure system is called a storm or a cyclone,
and the winds blow around the ccoter
in the opposite direction to the hands
hands of q watch, as one looks ON the
watch lying upon the map with the face
up. The high-pressurc system Is called
an anti-cyclone, and the winds blow
around Its center in the general direc-
tion OF the hands OF watch, though in
less distinct manner than In the cyclone.
The winds always blow down the gradi-
ent from the high to the low, from the
anti-cyclone to the cyclrne.
These are the chief features on any
weather map, so far as its construction
goes. Those who wish to learn to un-
derstand the meaning OF the same in re-
gard to the resulting Weather condi-
tiors should construct them for them

lows: At Ell Paso the temperature is 6S
degrees opd evidently the 7O-degree line
must lie between Ell Paso and the sO-degree
line, at intervals of e degrees on the Ell Paso
side, and 10 degrees on the Galveston side;
near Little Rock, degrees on one side, and
10 degrees on the south side; near Lynch
burg. degrees on the north side, and 10
degrees ON the south side. The intervals 2
to 10, to 10, 8 to 10. are the interpretations
referred to, and by little practice can be
very rapidly performed. In the case of the
6O-degreelipe we have the same process and
it runs through Los Angeles between Port
land and Helena, 8 to 2; between Bismarck
and st. Paul, 8 to 2; between st. Paul and
Chicago, 2 to 6, north Of Washington,
through New York, and west Of Boston.
These dotted lines OF equal temperature
are called isotherms.
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
In a similar manner We interpolate for
the pressure lines. Thus the 80 1O-inch
line runs between Ell Paso, 8 TO 6; through
Dodge City, west of Omaha, between Bis
marck and St Paul, 10 TO 6: returns south
ward between Chicago and Washington,
4 to 8; between st. LOUIS and Lynchburs
10 to 6; between Little r ock and Augusta,
2 to 6. and between New Orleans and Jack
sonville, 2 to 6. For the 3o.inch line VIC
start between Los Angeles and Ell Paso,
Alto 2. and pass between Salt Lake City and
Denver, to 6, Just east of Bismarck, fol-
low the general curve of the 80 .l0-inch
line and pass between Washington and
New York. 2 to 10.
Another 30-inch line passes through San
Francisco, between Helena and Bismarck,
4 to g. Another so. 10-inch line passes
between Portland and Helena, to 4. A
29.9O-inch line passes through New York
city, and q 20 .SO-inch line just north OF
Boston. These lines should always be drawn
SO as to harmonic with each other, max
ing system Of curves that grade into each
other by easy changes. Such lines OF equal
pressure are called isobars.
These details are here given In the hope
that some will take the trouble to construct
little map for themselves by way Of
practice Take son,e scmi-tran sparent paper
and trace the base lines of this map, the
boundaries and the rivers and locate on it
the az cities here given. Copy against each
city the figures for the temperature and the
solid lines for pressure. The figures in this
map are copies from the synopsis on the first
The evening times., 1895-08-10

The Weather Bureau receives about 142
observations, 8 a. m. and 8 p. M,
daily, from different points in the coun-
try, all taken at the same moment OF time
for q given map. For the a. m. map
they are telegraphued In and received at
Washington between S:45 and $50 a.
m. These are entered on charts. the fore
caster reads the meaning, aud the fore
casts are out by 1890 or IL O'Clock.
:On the map accompanying this article
only twenty-five OF these places are laid
down, SO as to avoid crowding on the re-
duced scale.
For illustrating the mode of dra wing the
lines, the Washington map OF Thursday,
August 1, 1885, 8 q. m, is selected
Against each of the twenty-five cities are
written two figures, the upper giving
the temperature and the 10 wer the pressure
OF the air at 8 O'Clock in the morning OF Ati-
gust l. Thus the temperature at Boston
Is "a degrees, and the pressure 29. 81
inches; at New York 80 degrees and
go so inches. AS We 90 toward the West
the time of the observation IS earlier in
the morning, that is, in the Mississippi
Valley the observer reads his instrument
at Z O'Clock, local time, on the Rocky Moun-
tain Slope at 8 O'Clock, and on the Pacific
Coast at O'Clock, so that all the observers
may read at the same moment Co-opera-
ton is therefore the peculiar feature Of
the operations OF the service.
On looking over the map the simplest
question to ask is, where do the same tem-
peratures prevail, and where are the press
ures Just alike 1t is evidently helpful to
the eye to draw a line through the places
where the same conditions exists, and ii is
most convenient to select the even 10 degree
differences, and the even tenth inches
differences for such connecting Iines-that
is, dotted lines are drawn through all places
having the temperatures so degrees, 70
degrees, so degrees, and solid lines through
the places having the pressures 20. 90
inch, 3O-inch, 1910 inches, baronetric
pressure Now in order to do this, 1t be-
comes necessary to Interpoiate the spaces
1t is seen that the temperature at Calves
ton and New Orleans is so degrees and a
line can be drawn through these, but for
Jacksonville the temperature is only 70
degrees and the so degree line must run
a little south of it to allow for the drop from
so degrees to 7S degrees in going north

Private McGin, the artilleryman, who
is under arrest pending the outcome of
the court-martal, which recently tried
him for assauiting an officer, made an
attempt TO escape from the guard-house
at the Arsenal Grounds yesterday afternoon
He got through the guard-house window
and removing his clothes, started to swim
across James Creek. when Corp. MCGEE
commanded him to halt.
He replied by diving under the water
and the corporal fired where he went
down. Emerging on the other side McGin
bounded into the reeds, evidently expecting
to meet a confederate. but he was dis
appointed. Twenty-Five minutes later he
was captured and reimprisoned in the
guard-house.

She Introduced Tea-Drtnking In Maine.
When fashion sips at o'clock tea at
Bar Harbor. Me-, this summer, it Will hardly
remember that the first tea drank in the
State was made on Cults Island, Kittery,
ITO years ago. A daughter OF Maj. Cults,
returning home from school in Massachu-
setts. was detained by storm at Ports
mouth. N. H., where, at Gov. Cults table,
she was first offered tea, and, following
Mrs. vaughan's example, added sugar and
cream. Before resuming her journey, she
bought pound of tea for q guinea, ordered
cups and saucers from Boston, and thus
introduced the beverage to Maine.-Nev

Then they should carefully compare the
maps from day to day. and observe the
differences that have ia ken place in
twenty-four hours, In forty-eIght hours
and In scventy-two hours. The easiest
way to do this is to cut out the press
map every day and lay the successive
maps In column, over each other, so
that the eye may take In at glance the
changes that have been going on. A short
practice In this manner Will enable one
to follow the storms as they pass from
west to east, and will soon give the
ability to judge, from the maps, what
the weather conditions are likely to be
during the following twenty-four hours. .

under what is known as mineral inter-
dictment. In such cases mineral dis
proof is required. This was in itself a
departure from the broader and wiser
conception of the uses to which the land
OF the world should be devoted, but it
exists, and the legislation which pro-
duced this situation was passed during
the time when Senator Sargent occupied
a seat either in the House of Representa-
tives or in the Senate of the United
States. That his memory should have
been sssailed as a means of defending the
loose-thinking and wild assertions OF
over-zealous advocates of single interest
deserved, as it has received, the con-
domination of that better and more con-
sentative element. which, on all fields of
human activity, constitutes the trusst
friends of any cause.
