cember. provided he can keep track of the behavior of the Japan current" The stream that bears this name Is merely a certain portion of the Pacific Ocean that seems to move around in a half circle. Where it begins or where it ends is a question open to conjec ture, and of no importance in the pres ent instance.
 For convenience it will be assumed that the current has its origin just north of Australia and on the equator where the rays of the sun keep it al- most at the boiling point. From here it is known that the current sweeps to the north. past the Philippine Islands, China and Japan and along toward the Arctic, where it makes a curve to the eastward. Here it passes on the south side of the Aleutian Islands, then past Alaska and so down the Pacific Coast of our continent, washing the coast of California just off the Golden Gate.
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-07

It naturally follows that the tempera- ture at which this vast volume of water reaches our coast is going to have a great deal of effect on our climate.
 If this Japan current were a stable current like a river, it would always reach our coast at about the same tenn perature. But it is most fickle, often sweeping 200 miles to the north or south of it's general course.
 It will thus be apparent that the far ther north the warm waters from the equator go the colder they will get, and as a consequence reach the Pacific Coast colder than they would If they took a course further to the south. As it takes the waters of this current about three months to get from Una laska Island to San Francisco, it ap- pears natural to conclude that if we know the position of the current on certain day we can tell in what condi- ton it will reach us three months

 a few days ago of a statement
 from Forecast Official Hammond to the effect that he had discov-
 cred what appeared to be a
 method of foretelling whether our winters would be wet or dry, that gentleman has been fairly overwhelmed with letters and inquiries in regard to 1t. Scientific men generally look upon his idea as most plausible. A few go so far as to call it the greatest meteoro- logical discovery of the decade, while others merely send congratulations, evidently considering that the import ance of the discovery is too apparent to need comment
 Briefly, Mir Hammond is of the opin- ion that he can foretell in October the kind of weather we will have in De-

HOW THE JAPAN CURRENT AFFECTS TIE COAST OF CALIFORNIA

The farther north the Japan Current swings -n it's eastward course past the Aleutian Islands the colder and dryer winters will be.
 The farther south 1t sweeps the more ram we Will have and the winters. That is the way the matter has just figured out by Weather Of fcer Hammon. By comparing the weather reports of Unga Island, off tine Alaska coast, and the weather reports California he has discovered that the weather of California can be predicted three months in advance by examining the weather re-

hence.
 And it must follow that if the cur rent passes far to the south of Unalas- ka and reaches us in a warm condition there will be heavy evaporation and consequently copious rainfall.
 If the current passes so far to the north as to touch UnaIaska or Unga islands it is only reasonable to con- clude that it will reach us in a cold condition. Consequently there will be little evaporation and we will have dry year.
 Were it not for the Sierra Nevadas the temperature of the sea would not have such a powerful effect on the eli mate of the Pacific Coast As it is. though, the mountains keep off the cold winds from the east and leave the cli- matic conditions almost entirely 10 the sea.
