How to Read the Maps.

Mr.. Outram has Just received pam
phlet issued by the weather bureau at
Washington, giving an explanation Of
the daily weather map. It is the IN
tention in time to make wide distri-
button of the pamphlet. 1t says in
part:
The daily map shows stations in the
United States and Canada which make
telegraphic reports of the weather. The
reports consist Of observations of the
thermometer and barometer, the We
locity and direction Of the wind,
amount, kind and direction of move.
ments Of clouds, and amount Of rain OF
snow. The results are sent to about
one hundred stations.
EOn the maps solid lines, called iso
bars, are drawn thru points having
the same atmospheric pressure, line
being drawn for each one-tenth Of an
inch in the height of the barometer.
Dotted lines, called isotherms, are
drawn thru points having the same at
mospheric temperature, line being
drawn for each ten degrees. The direc-
tion of the wind is indicated by an
arrow and the state of the weather is
indicated by symbols. ~.
Z "The centers Of areas of low baron.
etric pressure, or general storms, are
Indicated on the map by the word
low and the center of high baron
etric pressure by the word high.
The flows and highs have an
average easterly movement of about
600 to 700 miles day, the former a
little to the north of east and the lat
ter to the south Of east.

Anyone Can Tell Pretty Nearly What
the Weather Will Be IF He Learns
to Interpret the Weather Maps-The
Government Now Offers Instruction

"While the value of the weather
bureau to the public is generally rec
ognized, the department believes that
it's efforts will be Of much greater
value if the people were better edu-
Gated in meteorology," said T. s. Op-
tram, chief of the Minneapolis station,
today. "To bring about this result,
pamphlets and papers will be issued to
explain the work of the department,
so that everyone can understand the
weather maps and also know what rec
ords are taken and how they can be
looked up.
'..'Of course many people believe that
all that the weather men do is to look
around a few minutes in the morning
and then make prediction. The pre-:
dictions are an important feature, but
are not the only. feature. Weather,
perhaps, is one Of the most generally
discussed subjects in the world AS
many human plans depend upon the

What Movements Mean.

stIn advance Of a low the winds
are southerly or easterly, and are usu-
ally warmer. When the low passes
east of a place the wind shifts to west
,erly or northwesterly with lower tenn
perature. The easterly advance of
flows is almost invariably preceded
by precipitation in the form Of rain
or snow and is usually followed by
clearing weather A 'low; is gen
orally followed by a high which in
turn is followed by another low
By following the movements, weather
changes may be foreseen. Cold waves
are always accompanied by, and fore
run, highs.

highs indicates continuance Of
existing weather that will continue
until later maps show a change, that
usually appears in the west. The storms
of the United States follow year after

The situation in brief is that John

laxseed market and has compelled the
pected that the price of linseed oil will
be advanced 40 cents gallon. Such
an advance would seriously affect many
Industries, particularly those Of oil

would undoubtedly cause large mum:

Boston, July 1G.-The first great mass meeting in the interests of Chi nese reforms ever held in this city attracted a gathering of more than 1000 Chinese residents of Boston to the Park Street church. The feature of the meeting was the address of Rang Yu Wei president of the Chi cagO Reform association.
 In his address Kang Yu Wei said that the reason China had been so helpless was that her people were peaceably inclined. The lack of ag- gressiveness has enabled Russia. France and Germany and other powers 10 take advantage of the country. The speaker said that ali thoughtful Chi namen are looking forward to the res toration of the emperor, who is at the head of the reform movement. As soon as he can be reinstated all the desired reforms will be introduced and put into practice.

 Investigations made by the Associ- ated Press show that neither flank has been turned and that in fact the Rus sian wings are more advanced than the center.
 The Japanese center is strongly for tified. Many siege guns have been emplaced along the Changtufu Nan chenze line and there is a triple ring of forts commanding the Mandarin road.
 The Japanese are using the novel elephant trap style of entrenchment consisting of ditches covered with platforms which are balanced in the middle and which tilt into vertical pO- silinns under the feet of attackers. The Japanese have a captive ballon eight miles south of Nanchenze

With the placing of a new man at the head Of the United States foreign office an opportunity is presented for a thorough overhauling of the machinery of this branch of the government service.
 Congressional stinginess and a pre- judice has more than once blocked plans for reorganization urged by Secretary Hay and by some of the other secretaries of state, say Wash ingtOn officials.

A bill to that effect is in course of preparation, and the case will be in the hands of United States Attorney Alderman Of Savannah.
 The charge is that in order to elim- mate competition between all-rafI and all-water rates. the steamship lines were persuaded to raise their rates to a figure approximating that of the rail- roads. The department will test the right of the lines to take this step.
