STORMS on THE LAKES.
4 Valuable Chart Prepared by the De-
pertinent of Agriculture.

Instead of curtailing the operations of the
Department of Agriculture it is the policy
Of Secretary James Wilson to extend its
operations along all useful lines authorized
by law. Recently, after consultation with
the chief of the weather bureau. he decid-
ed to make use of some of the great fund of
meteorological information contained in the
weather bureau by having monthly
marine meteorological chart issued for the
benefit of the mariners of ou.' great inland
seas. He was of the opinion that by
study of the records of past storms much
useful information might be collated and
published relative to the tracks most fire.
quented by storms during the coming
month. and other information useful to
mariners.
The first of this series of monthly charts
was mailed from the central office of the
weather bureau yesterday. 1t gives in
formation relative to the present month of
October which is of great benefit to
mariners. 1t shows the principal tracks
pursued by storms in crossing the lake
region.
The track of greatest frequency is east
ward across the center of Lake Superior.
The storm track next in Importance Is
line drawn from Milwaukee northeast to
Alpena. The next in order of frequency IS
a line drawn from the southern point of
Lake Michigan northeast to Port Huron;
and the least frequented of the four storm
tracks is re preSented by a line drawn from
Port Arthur southeast to Petoskey, Mich
In other words, if, during the coming
month mariner notices by the daily re-
ports a storm center in the region or any
one Of these tracks, he can very accurately
determine what viii be its future course
and can steer accordingly.
The chart shows the normal wind direc-
ton for the coming month at each one of
the weather bureau stations, and about the
number of foggy days that may be expect
ed on different portions of the several
lakes, as determined by the records of the
past twenty-seven years.
The text printed on the back of the chart
shows the location of all the danger Sig
Dals of the weather bureau-about 10 in
number-and much other information use
full to vessel masters.
A little study of the diagram of the
storm center in connection with the wind
barometer table will enable captains who
have left port to determine the probable
course of storm centerS last noted on the
weather bureau charts on shore.
