RECIPROCITY IN WEATHER.
United States and Mexico May Ex-
change Reports.

Washington, July Am important
arrangement has been completed be-
tween the United States and Mexico
for weather bureau exchange of re-
ports. The United States is Interested
in securing information of storms that
come into this country through Mex
leo. and Mexico wants to know about
low temperatures working toward
them. An effort will be made to Sc
cure some arrangement whereby infor-
nation OF storms in the West Indies
can be secured. The weather bureau
has reports at irregular times from
the West Indies, where there are nine
meteorological stations; but it is de-
sired to have telegraphic report such
as is received from stations in this
country. West Indian service would cost
about $4,000 per annum. The Mexican
service is secured with a cost of not
over $500 and possibly not more than
$780,
The Mexican system viii reach sta
tons over the whole region of the
country covered by the Mexican teie-
graphic service. with at least one sta
ton in Lower California, six on the
Mexican gulf coast and possibly six
on the Pacific coast. These reports
viii be delivered by Mexico free to
this country, in exchange for which
the United States service viii twice a
day deliver TO Mexico the reports re-
ceived from stations in the southern
half of California, Arizona, New Mex
leo and the gulf states. The co-opera-
ton arranged with Mexico is similar
to that now In operation between
Canada and the United States.

that the amount needed was $500 as

gested that the mining men of the city
