student, who fathomed the mystery Of
the barometer, and by doing SO added
the SECOND q the two most important
instruments that are known to meteor
ologlcal science.
Both of these philosophers were in
tenseIy interested In the subject of the
earth's rotation around the sun, and
the elder of the two suffered many per-
secutions because of his persistent
preaching Of this doctrine of science.
Still, neither of them ever dreamed that
what to them was an insignificant in
vention In the list of the many with
which they are credited would be first
used to measure the inception and de-
yelopment of storms on the other side
Of round world.
The keeping of weather record and
some attempt at forecasting meteoro-
logical conditions was first made in this
country by DR.. John Lining, of Charles
ton. 8. c., as early as 1898. True, they
were very Inaccurate, and he had but
little on which TO base his predictions of
coming storms, but they were a begin
ming.
Benjamin Franklin, in 1747, was prac-
ticslly the first who made much of a
scientific study of storms and condi-
tions producing them. His greatest dis
coyery In this branch of science was
that certain classes of storms had a
rotary motion, and that this class of
storms progressed In northeasterly
direction. This much he learned long
before such a thing as charts showing
observations taken simultaneously at
several places had even been thought
of. Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the
United States weather bureau, gives. the
following interesting account of how
Franklin acquired his knowledge:
"FTanklin had arranged with n CO.
worker at Boston TO take observations
of lunar eclipse at the same time that
he himself was taking readings of il at
Philadelphia. Early on the evening of
the eclipse an unusually severe north
east wind and rainstorm set in at Phil
adelphia, and Franklin was unable to
secure any observations. He reasoned
that, as the wind blew fiercely from the
northeast, the storm was of course com
ing from that direction, and that Bos-
ton must have experienced its ravagea
before Philadelphia. Reports indicated
that the storm was widespread. What
was the surprise Of Franklin when, aft
er the slow passage of the mail by
coach, he heard from his friend in Bos
ton that the night of the eclipse bar
been clear and favorable for observe

PRACTICAL TRAINING.
Leading Negro Educator of Washing
ton to Establish a Farm for
Negro boys.

Prof. William II. II. Hart, leading
negro educator of Washington, has
started an enterprise on n well-equipped
farm of 700 acres just across the Po-
tomao which he hopes will contribute
largely to the solution of the race prob
lem. He proposes to give negro boys a
home there with a good common school
education and practical training in ag-
ricultural and mechanical pursuits.
The farm is well stocked with horses
and other live stock and every boy is
to be schooled to understand thorough
ly their management and care. There
are blacksmith and carpenter shops
and the boys are taught how to handle
tools. Certain hours are set apart for
study, and a woll-known educator of
North Carolina has charge of the school,
while the farm is looked after by an
experienced farmer. Prof. Hart is pos
sessed with the idea that such an en-
terprise can be made self-sustaining,
and will permit no charitable appeals
for support.

tions, but that terrific northeast wind
and rainstorm began early the follow
ing morning. He then sent out in
quiries to surrounding stage stations
and found that at all places southwest
Of Philadelphia the storm had begun
earlier, and that the greater the dis
tance the earlier the beginning, as com
pared with Its advent In Philadelphia.
Northeast Of Philadelphia the time of
the beginning of the storm had been
later than at that city, the storm not
reaching Boston until 12 hours after
its commencement at Philadelphia.
'In considering these facts a line of
inductive reasoning brought Franklin
to the conclusion that the wind always
blows toward the center of the storm;
that the northeast hurricane which Bos-
ton and Philadelphia had experienced
was caused by the suction exercised by
an advancing storm-eddy from the
southwest, which drew the air rapidly
from Boston toward Philadelphia, while
the source of the attraction-the cen
ter of the storm-eddy-was yet thou
sand miles to the southwest of the lat
ter placer that the velocity of the north
east wind Increased us the center of the
storm-eddy advanced nearer and nearer
from the southwest, until the wind
reached the conditions of a hurricane;
that the wind between Boston and Phil
adelphia shifted and came from the
southwest after the center of the storm
eddy had passed over that region; and
that the force of the wind gradually de-

Many of the great statesmen of the
early days of our nations history found
interest and amusement in meteoro
logical study. Among them was Thorn.
as Jefferson and James Madison. These
two studied together to a certain ex.
tent, comparing their observations and
exchanging statements of thermometer
and barometer.
And SO the weather bureau that we
have to-day, with all its varied service
TO humanity with its accurate instru-
ments, is but the outgrowth of the
efforts of men interested in this branch
of science in a small way during earlier
years. And, strange TO say, not alone
the service of this country, but that of
the entire world, is practically of theiI
making, for this nation has at all times
led.
Much credit is due to the efforts OF
! such men as Redfield, Espey, Loomis,
Henry end many others for the work
they did during the first half of the
present century In gathering data re-
garding the weather conditions, all Of
which had to be done by the slow-go-
ing mails for those days. The first re-
ports gathered by telegraph were by
Prof. Joseph Henry, of the Smithsonian
institute, in 1855.
But it was not until after 1870 that
the general public began TO take kind
! ly to the service of the weather bu-
reau, and to recognize its value. But
! to-day the predictions of the bureau
are looked for by everybody. Every
/ daily paper that can get them publishes
these predictions, and they annually
| save thousands of dollars worth of prop
/ erty and many lives. On two different
occasions an estimate has been made
( of the marine property that by taking
warning when given remained in port
I and escaped destruction. On one of
these occasions the amount of property
so saved was estimated at not less than
$34, 100000, and on the other at not less
/ than 100000. The same is true
! throughout the western states, where
the daily predictions of the weather bu-
Teau is not only the means Of saving
many millions of property annually,
but many lives as we'll.
In this science America leads, and the
more than 200 stations throughout the
country are provided with the best in
struments that researches of all time
have given to meteorological sciences.
