Warming of Floods.
People who are most affected by the
spring freshets which every year inun-
date the river section of the city will be
interested in a service which the weather
bureau at Washington is to establish on
the Connecticut River, as we'll as many
other rivers in the east. In the west,
particularly, where this service has been
in use for a number OF years, it has
proven OF great value, and at the request
Of the congressional delegation from the
New England states the same sort of
service is to be undertaken in the east
In pursuance Of this H. {. Frankenfeld,
forecaster of the weather bureau in
Washington, is on an extended tour up
the Connecticut river. He will follow
the course of the river by team, afoot, in
boats or canoes, as circumstances may
warrant, as far as Three Lakes, which
is practically at the source OF the river
He will establish stations at Holyoke,
Mass, Bratteboro, White River Tunc-
ton, Wells River, STAFFORD and Stew
artstown, n H. Observers will be EN-
ployed and daily reports will be made
to headquarters by mail. Should any
unusual rise occur, advices will be tele-
graphed and people along the line Of the
river will receive warning and can act
accordingly.
On the large rivers of the west much OF
the commerce depends upon this service,
and while it has never been tried on the
swift running rivers of the east, it is the
opinion of the weather officials that the
service can be Just as effective. In the
west these warnings, made possible by
continual observation of the rivers, have
been of great value. Many lives and
many millions of dollars are annually
saved because people heed the warnings
and are prepared for the floods when
they appear,
Home for Inventors.
!. Dana Bvcktord, OF Boston, an inven-
tor of Vermont has started a movement
to establish the first home in America
for inventors who have been overcome
by the weight of years and by poverty.
Medford. large dwelling, known as
the Old Mansion House, has been as
good as transferred to company headed
by Mr.. By oxford, who says that the
work OF establishing the home will be
pushed ahead with all possible speed and
that approximately 500 900 in reality
has been turned over to his company
already. AS soon as it can be done,
copies of circular letter to Americas
captains of industry will be put into the
mails, and scattered broadcast, explain
ing the plan. There will be a workshop
in connection with the home wherein
the inmates may spend their time in de-
yeloping their ideas. II it should happen
that something OF value were devised,
thecompanyi in charge of the home would
put it upon the market.
Mr.. Bycktord says that there will be
no limit to the territory from which in
mates to the home may come. The
wives of the inventors will also be adj
mitted.
