Prof. CARROTS Conclusions.

Some of Prof CARROTS conclusions are
that systems of long range weather fore
casting that depend upon planetary
meteorology; moon phases, cycles, posi-
lions, or movements; stellar influences or
star divinatfons; indications afforded by
observations of animals, birds and plants
and estimates based upon days, months,
seasons and years have no legitimate
bases. That while the moon, and perhaps
the planets exert some influence upon at
mospheric tides, the influence is too slght
and obscure to justify & consideration or
lunar and planetary effects in the actual
weather forecasting. That the stars have
no appreciable influence upon the weather
That animals, birds and planets show by
their condition the character of past
weather, and by their actions the influence
of present weather and the character Of
weather changes that may occur within a
few hours.
That the weather of days, months, sea-
sons and years affords no indications of
future weather further than showing pres
emf abnormal conditions that the future
may adjust.
That six and seven day weather periods
are too ill-defined and irregular to be APP
plicable to the actual work of fore
casting.

friends. On that occasion he appeared
to be in good spirits. and was the last to
leave the reception room.
His Active Career.
Mr.. Cookies family, relatives, and
friends were notified of his illness early
yesterday and many of them. including
Mrs. Butler. Mrs. Barney and Jay Cooke.
jr., his children, were present when he
died. Few, except his closest neighbors,
knew that he was i'll.
From the day of his retirement from
active work in financial circles. about
twenty years ago. to the day Of his final
illness, Mr.. Cooke was never an idle man.
but much of his time he spent in hunting
and fishing, either at "Ogontz Lodge" in
Lycomings county, Pa. or in the bass fish
ing waters at Put-in-Bay, Lake Erie. At
the time of his death he was the owner of
large tracts of land In the west.
Jay Cooke was scarcely more than
name to many persons OF young adult me
today, but In the days of the civil war he
was one of the most widely known men of
his time. He was even called the saver OF
the nation, for by his financial genius he
had made possible the work of the armies.
Mr.. Cooke induced the people of the coun-
try to invest in government bonds. And as
the war was drawing to It's triumphant
close, Gen. Grant, meeting Jay Cookies son
at the front. said to him:
Tell your father that 1t Is to his labors
more than to those of any other man that
the people Of this country owe the contin-
ued life Of the nation"
Mr.. Cooke was born at Sandusky, Ohio,
on August 10, 1921. the son of a lawyer.
whose name. Misunderstanding to the in
ability Of the Ohios.pioneers to spell it
brought him defeat In an election and
caused him to name his sons in few letters,
one Pitt. one Jay. By the time a third boy
came along, however, the mother took q
hand In the cognomenizing and had him
named Henry D. H. He became the first gov
ernor of the District of Columbia.
Kindly Memories Of Indians.
Jay Cooke had kindly memories Of some
Of the Indians of his home neighborhood.
and when he left Sandusky for Philadel-
phia he took with him the name of an OF
4awa chief who had carried him as boy
on his shoulder-Ogontz-wh he gave
later to his country home. and which even
tually attached to young won1ens school.

At Philadelphia young Cooke entered

into partnership because Of the ability ana

Product Of Fixed Causes.
On the subject of the sun Prof. Garriott
says:
seasonal weather is product of fixed
astronomical causes modified by latitude,
topography and position with regard TO
land and water surfaces, and belief Is
prevalent that departures from seasonal
weather is due directly or indirectly to
variations in the output of solar energy.
There is also an inclination toward De
lief that certain aspects of the sun may be
responsible for certain types OF weather,
and it is deemed not improbable that aoiar
conditions of causation may have denne
periods of recurrence. At present, however
all Is speculation regarding the relation
of the sun to possible periodicities Of the

Part in National Banking System.
His record day of subscription receipts
for government bonds was 100000. He
also aided Secretary Chase in establishing
the national banking system.
Mr. Cooke was on Philadelphia street
car when he heard of Lincolns assassina-
ton. He jumped off instantly, and from
the nearest telegraph station telegraphed
100 agents of his house throughout the
north to advance the price of bonds, there
by, as he believed preventing greedy specu-
iators from bringing on a panic for their
own profit.
After the war Mr. Cookies greatest work
was the promotion of the Northern Pacific
railroad. He obtained pledges of large for
eign loans for the enterprise. but these
were diverted by the Franco Prussian war
outbreak and the Alabama claims dispute,
and the burden of the whole scheme fell
upon him. The result was his failure In
the beginning of the panic of 1873. On the
morning of the failure he received S1,0OO.U0o.
but refused 1t, saying: Il have no right to
use it," His collapse allowed the cynics
to sheer at the scheme which was to have
made the northwest Jay Cookies banana
belt" but as the world knows. the North
ern Pacific road was subsequently built,
traverses a rich grain land, and has become
one of the country's great enterprises.
His Financial Fall.
Great as was his financial fall Mr. Cooke
retrieved himself, paid his last cent of
obligation in five years and built up an
other fortune that enabled him to buy back
his country seats, Ogontz, near Phila-
delphia, now girls school. and Gibraltar.
the island in Lake Erie. Explaining how
he did it. he said:
s''That is simple enough. By never chang
ing the temperament / derived from my
father and mother From my earliest ex-
perience in life l have always been of a
hopeful temperament, never living in a
cloud / have always had reasonable
nhilosophy to think that men and times
were better than harsh criticism would
suppose 1 believed that this American
world of ours was full of wealth and that
II was only necessary to go to work and
find it. That is the secret of my success In
life Always look on the sunny side.

his recreation in hunting and fshing-eyen
at eighty years.

Experimental Value Only.

''The proof of the forecast is in it's verif-
cation" says Professor Garriott, in the in
troductory lines of his report Measured
by this standard. long-range weather fore
Casts have an experimental value only a
value that does not justify their employ
rnent in the actual work of forecasting for
Specified dates and places.
''Meteorologists who have conceived theo-
ries for long-range forecastng. or who have
tested theories advanced by others, have
applied TO the theories the test of facts that
are presented by meteorological records, and
the results have been negative. Men who
issue fake forecasts have adopted oppo-
Bite method. They have carefully ignored
and concealed facts and have depended
upon advertisements of occasional successes
that will inevitably occur in any system of
chance and their success may be measured
by the extent to which they can impose
Upon the credulous and the ignorant
CAS- a rule. 1t is impossible to subject the
rambling and indefinite statements of the
long range weather forecaster to a vert-
6catlon.
Forecasts of this character can be of no
value 10 agricultural. commercial or mari
time interests On the contrary they are
misleading, and If given credeuce are cal
culated TO result in positive injury. Farm
erS, merchants and mariners who keep pace
with modern progress do not give credence
70 this class of forecasts. A long-range
sorecaster who receives remuneration for
his work is simply catering to a class of
readers who are deficient in knowledge of
the present status of popular science.
The Moons Path.
There is another long-range weather
forecaster drawing his support from the
american public who does not depart in
ANY essential manner from the methods
Employed by the~one above referred to-.
His statements are based upon consld-
Grafton OF the moons path with reference
TO the ecllptic and the equator, the phases
