 The storms of the United States fol- | low, however, year after year series | of tracks, not capricious, but related to l each other by very well defined laws. The positions of these tracks have | been determined carefully for the Unit ed States by studies made in the Fore cast Division of the Weather Bureau, on the long series of maps that have been made during the past twenty years. The track that the central point of a high area or that the center of storm fol- lows in passing over the country from west to east is laid down on individual charts. these are collected on a group chart, and from this the average track pursued can be readily described.
 The chart herewith shows the gen ! eral result of a study of tracks of storms in the United States. It indi- cates that, in general. there are two sets of tracks running westerly and easterly, one set over the northwestern ] boundary, the Lake region. and the St. ; Lawrence Valley; the other set over the middle ROCKY MOuntdln anu the Gulf States. Each of these is dou- ble. with one for the highs" and one for the lows" Furthermore. there are lines crossing from one main track to another showing how storms pass from one to the other. The transverse broken lines show the average daily movement On the chart the heavy lines all belong to the tracks of the highs" and the lighter lines to the
 lows" Let us trace them somewhat
 in detail. high" appearing on the

 March, inclusive. many highs enter
 the United States near the 18th me- ridian and move south along the Rocky Mountain slope into the southern cir- cult, and thus reach the South Caro- lima coast; or else they turn more ab- ruptly eastward and move in the north ern circuit over the Lakes to New foundland. The chief difficulty in the art of forecasting is to decide which of these paths will be pursued and the | nrobable rate at which the movement | will take place.

 It was less than six months. how-

 the opera. They seemed quite at ease
 with each other, due perhaps to ths many business trips Mir. weldon had

 An absence of decided and energetic "lows" and highs" indicates that ex- isting weather conditions will con- tinue until later maps show a change. which usually appears in the west.
 The following indications of the character of approaching weather changes are afforded by local observa- tions of the wind and the barometer:
 When the wind sets in from points between south and southeast and the barometer falls steadily. storm is approaching from the west or north west. and it's center will pass near or to the north of the observer within twelve to twenty-four, hours, with winds shifting to northwest by way of southwest and west. When the wind sets in from points between east and northeast, and the barometer falls steadily, a storm is approaching from the south or southwest, and its center will pass near or to the south or east of the observer within twelve to twen- ty-four hours, with winds shifting to northwest by way of north. The ra- pidity of the storms approach and its intensity will be indicated by the rate and amount of the fall in the barom- eter."

 The centers of areas of low baromet- ric pressure, or general storms. are in-
 dicated on the map by the word LOW" and the centers of areas of high ba- rometric pressure by the word HIGH" The general movement of "lows' and Thighs" in the United States Is from
 west to east. and in their progression they are similar to a series of atmos-
 pheric waves. the crests of which are
 designated by the highs" and the
 troughs by the lows. These alter
 hating highs" and lows" have an average easterly movement of about
 500 to TOO miles a day. The lows"
 usually move in an easterly. or north

Probably no publication of the GOV, ernment is so regularly consulted anu so generally appreciated as the daiIy weather maps issued by the weather Bureau.

Whether one is interested in an actual or specu- lative deal in any of the great commod- ities of the country or batch of indus trial stock. a long distance pleasure or business trip, gunning expedition or a Sunday school picnic. the weather map is of value in the matter and is anxiously, looked for.
