WEATHER FoREcAsTERs.
Second Days Convention
at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Aug. 29.-Forecasts and
forecasting were the subjects handled
at the first session of the second day
of the weather bureau officials con-
vsntion. James Barry, of Washing
ton, was chairman.
Among the papers read was one writ
ten by Henry ]. Cox, professor of
meteorology, Chicago. The title Of
Mr.. Cox paper was: Should the Veri-
flying Change of Temperature hBe
Smaller and Should Not the Terms
Slightly Warmer or Slightly Cooler
Be Credited2" Good forecasts, Mr..
Cox contended, will invariably attain
. high percentage of verifcation, no
matter what rules are used. After
man have qualified as general and Local
forecasters aud shown that they are
able to make good predictions, their
forecasts should be exempt from tech
meal veriflcation and they should be
encouraged to make the best possible
forecasts in the interests of the public
and absolutely without regard to veri-
dcation.
F. j. Walz, of Chicago, read an able
paper on "The Relation Between Cen
eral and Local Forecasts"
Other papers bearing on forecasts
were delivered by Prof. A. j. Henry, of
Washington; F. H. Brandenburg, Den
yer; F. P. Chaffee, Montgomery, Ala;
L. M. Pindell, Chattanooga, Tenn, and
II. M. Boyer, Savannah, Ga.
Harvey M. Watts, of Philadelphia,
presented two interesting papers.
The first, "Public versus Forecaster,"
was read by title. In it Mr.. Watts
pointed out the necessity for improve.
ments in forecasting for great popula-
ton centera. The other paper which
was read by Mr.. Watts was entitled
"Forecaster and Newspaper" show
ing that the forecaster could improve
the bureaus position before the public
by better use of the newspaper.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
Weather Bureaus Weekly Summary
Shows the Conditions Are in tho
Main Favorable.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions throughout the country is as
follows:
The weather conditions Of the week end
ing August 26. 1901, have been generally ia
vorable except in the middle and south
Atlantic and east gulf states and Ten
nessee. where In nearly all these sections
heavy rains have damaged crops and In
terfered with work. and in some districts
washed lands and caused inundations
Drought conditions still prevail In portions
of Iowa. Oklahoma and Texas. In the last
named state becoming serious In localities.
and rain is also needed In Michigan. Me-
braska. the North Pacific coast states and
portions of Kansas and Missouri. The
temperature conditions have been favor
able for best results. except In portions Of
Missouri. Kansas, Oklahoma. Texas. Mon
tana and Washington.
Continued improvement In the condition
OF the late corn Is generally reported from
the principal corn growing states. Reports
indic2te that late corn in Iowa has made
rapid progress and that the ears are fill-
ing beyond previous expectations: 1t shows
some Improvement in most localities in
Nebraska; has improved In eastern and
middle Kansas. and in western and south
eastern Missouri: elsewhere In the last
named state the crop Is dcteriorating and
filling well. In the states OF the Ohio VAL
ley the prospects for late corn are de-
cidedly improved. In some sections fields
previously reported beyond recovery will be
reclaimed. and the Indications are that
the prospective yield will be largely in
creased. Cutting has begun In portions Of
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Spring wheat harvest is practically fin
ished in all sections, although retarded
some by rain In South Dakota and Minne-
sofa. Threshing Is general and the yields
are as rule satisfactory except in North
Dakota. where they continue below ex-
pectations.
Tobacco Is In good condition in the Ohio
valley and Tennessee. and the prospects for
this crop are generally favorable in these
states. as we'll as in New York. Drying to-
bacco was slightly injured In Maryland by
humid weather. and rains were unfavor-
able In Virginia.

Tailor Costumes for the Coming Sea-
sOn-Gowns for Afternoons
and ReceDtiOuR.

The fabrics composing some of the
smartest tailor costumes for next
season are made of a fine, light quail
ity of French camels-hair serge.
They are silk-lined, but the shapely
skirts are merely finished with rows
of silk stitching. The little jacket
fronts turn back from vest of
cream satin, showing simple trim
ming of gold braid and buttons, tuck
ing, briar stitching, or dainty ar
rangement on each side of the front
of silk appliques of very delicate
coloring, says the New York Post.
En- suite with skirt of satin-fnished
black peau de sole is new bolero
jacket Of black velvet, finished around
the lower part with scroll-like edges.
White satin, covered with guipure-
the designs picked out with tiny Jet
and gold beads-forms the wide col.
lar, revers, and small turn-back cuffs.
The vest, with it's high stock and full
undersleeves gathered into narrow
band of the jet and gold. are Of fine.
ly-tucked white satin.
One of the pretty toilet accessories
(and most becoming toilet acces.
sorry it is) is the ruff of silk, edged
with fur, or q narrow line of plain
or fancy chenille, round or fiat. You
purchase about four yards of silk;
although of good quality, it need not
be expensive. The silk is then cut
into whatever width you wish the
ruff, and accordion plated. This
done, add to the hem the narrow
band of chenille and box-plait the
silk through the center of the strip.
Deep fringes of chenille may be
fastened to the front for stole ends,
if desired. Many women wear rufus
of this kind to concerts and at the
theaters, instead of collarette of
fur. They are very becoming, to say
nothing of the protection they afford,
and very often the charitable service
they mutcly perform for undraped
shoulders.
Rlark-and-whitc effects will be
quite as prominent as ever during
the coming season: for youthful
wearrrs. who do not care for this
combination, are blue. chestnut
brown. oi'a'-HIaN. tan and kllSS!an-
green covert suiiings. with often two
vests arr"lnI anNin% the tailor suit

with hair-lim"s of gold or brown, the
other of crrain-,ulor decorated with
scroll and palm patterns in black and
gold. When the darker colors are
found more becoming, friar's or Ok
ford gray or deep sablcbrown shades
Of silky English serge or chcviot, are
worn with n vrst of braided red
cloth. Handsome black costumes
are being prepared for the coming
Lentcn season in faced cloth, drap

spring wear, all the delicate neutral
tones in cloth and soft, light wool
take prominent place among the
