WEATHER FORECASTS.
Predictions for Tomorrow stamped
on Backs of TO-day's Letters
Unique and Cheap-Albuquer-
que Citizens Wisdom.

At the annual meeting of the American
Association of Weather Directors, held in
Indianapolis last October, Mr.. Frank p.
Chaffee, director fer Alabama, proposed a
unique, effective and inexpensive method
of spreading the daily forecasts of the
United States weather bureau. He sug-
gested that, as the postal regulations re-
quired that the date and hour of receipt
be stamped upon the backs Of all letters
distributed by the postoffices of the
United States, an arrangement be made
with the postal authorities to stamp the
weather forecasts on letters as we'll as the
date and hour.
The idea met with instant approval,
and already five or six state weather SER
vice directors, with the cooperation Of
locel postmssters, have adopted it and
are carrying it into practice. Among the
number may be mentioned Director Her
sey, of Santa Fe, who Immediately Or
dered suitable stamp for the purpose
at his own expense, and, Postmaster
Gable cheerfully approving its use in
stead of the old metal stamp, the backs
of letters received at the Office in this city
bear the weather forecast for the ensuing
day. Director Hersey is confident that
the new system will soon be generally
adopted by the postoffice department.
In this connection it may be noted that
some days ago the Albuquerque Citizen
wisely criticised the accuracy of the fore
casts published in this territory by Di-
rector Hersey, pointing out instances in
which they we're incorrect, and learnedly
Announcing that this was due to the fact
that there we're not enough stations in
New Mexico.
As usual the Citizen was talking
through its No. hat. As a matter of
fact all the forecasts are made in Wash
ington, from there they are wired to the
several district headquarters and thence
are sent to the state or territorial stations
| for publication. The forecasts for New
Mexico come from Washington by way
of Galveston to Santa Fe and if there
we're dozen stations in the territory the
results would be the same.
In the east the forecasts can almost ab.
solutsly be relied upon, being founded
upon the ascertained fact that the general
direction of all storms is from west to
east, but high mountains more or less in
terrupt and spread storm waves and
hence the forecasts in this region are not
az certain as those published further east.
Nevertheless "a per cent of the predlc-
tions for January, published at Santa Fe,
we're correct.

The santa Fe system

The new management of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe is very particular
about the change in the name of the
road. There were only two changes made.
The word "road" was changed to "way''
and the accent mark was left off the ''e''
in Santa Fe, and the letter has the long
sound instead of the sound of ia"
A short time ago, the legal department
had large quantity of stationery printed,
and the greater portion of it was sent to
the general attorneys Office in Chicago.
In few days the whole lot was returned
with the information that in the letter
heads the accent mark was used in Santa
Fe, and that this was incorrect and the
stationery could not be used.

Helena by Miss Steele.
NEWPORT News, Va, Jan. 3i.-The
gunboat Helena, added to the United
States force afloat in the presence of
Admiral Bunce's mysterious squadron
of evolution, is an exact duplicate of
the Wilmington, launched with the
cruiser Nashville, from the adjoining
ways of the Newport News Ship-Build-
ing and Dry Dock Co., October 10 last,
that occasion being made memorable
by the presence of the secretary Of the
navy and a distinguished official party.
She is 13-knot vessel of about l,400
tons displacement, 80 feet long with
the light draft of nine feet. adapting
her for service in shallow rivers and,
when in commission, will carry a COM
plement of 40 officers and men. A
main battery of eight fOur-iEch quick
fire rifles, eight small rapid. fire rifles
and two Gatlings. is designed more for
attacks against unfortiiei position
than for combat against other naval
vessels, for it is intended that vessels
of this class shall be kept in Chinese
waters and the harborS of countries
near the tropics, for which purpose
she has been equipped with refriger-
ating apparatus and other appliances
for the health and comfor5of the crew.
The big coastwise passenger vesse,

spectS also a valuable addition to the
American navy. as she is constructed
in compliance with the government re-

is adapted for arining and commission
ing whenever occasion arises. She is
a steel vessel 404 feet long with i7-feet

carrying capacity, has accommodations
for Boa first-claSs and 400 second-class

LONDON. Feb. 1.-Yesterday morn.
ings London newspapers reproduced
Berlin rumOrs of impending changes
in the German ministry owing to res
ignations because OF differences among
the ministers in regard to increasing
the strength Of the navy. but none OF
them attaches any Importance to the
reports. The Berlin Post OF january
% contained an emphatic denial OF the
suggestion hat plans for an extensive
increase of the German navy We're be-
ing formulated. and also denied with
equal pOsitivcnesS that Prince IIOhcG-
lobe, the imperial chancellor, and 9th
crs of the ministers We're about to re-
sign.
The Berlin representative of the
United Press learned upon unqucstion-
able authority ON January - that the
government had sounded the leaders
of all the political parties except the
socialists upon the question of i~ncrcas-
ing the strength of the navy with =
view OF asking the reicnstag for a
large loan for the purpose. and that
the leaders We're unanimous in giving
a negative reply to the proposal. The
matter was thercupOn dropped by the

a general stOppage of work until rates
become higher. The falling off since 1899
has been enormous The total increase
reached e93. 991. and would have been
greater had there not beer increased
exports to some countries as the fall
ing off in exports to the United States
itself was no less than e2O2, sos. IN

the leading customer, for she consumes
even now more than half of the tin
