WIRELESS TIPS ON WEATHER
Chief Moore Discusses Plan of Fore
casting for Ocean Ships.
Feasible and Bound TO Come Within
Decade-InteFnatfOn Legislation
Essential to Scheme.

Within Eve or ten years Prof. Willis
Moore. Chief Of the United States Wealth
er Bureau. believes the plan he outlined
at the Photographers banquet al the Ar
lington. of furnishing weather forecasts
to vessels on every ocean viii be in com
pleto operation
In discussing the matter yesterday with
a Herald representative, Prof. Moore out
lined what had actually been accomplish
ed and what 1t viii be necessary 10 per-
feet the scheme.
1t is absolutely essential in the first
place" he said. THAT harmonious rela-
tions be established between the various
wireless telegraph companies, between
whom rivalry is very bitter at present
They viii not transmit each others mes
sages at present; but in fact, do all they
can TO break up each others circuits.
We need an international law compelling
every vessel TO carry wireless telegraph
apparatus, ana requiring them TO take
daily observations, 10 transmit these as
soon as taken, and 10 receive and for
ward all sUcn messages 10 the nearest
station that come from other vessels,
without regard to whether or not the
messages come from a ship using the
same system.
1T will take time 10 accom- plish this;
five years or possibly ten, but in the end
il VIII come, because by this means tIe
less Of life at sea in my opinion viii
be reduced TO q minimum. Il VIII b. so
much to the advantage Of every one that
it viii be impossible for any natiCn to
fail 10 make the necessary requirement.
at present we are doing q good deal
toward furnishing forecasts to vessels
along the Atlantic coast. We are re
ceiving daily observations from a num-
Der OF transatlantic liners. We also
get readings from the numerous stations
we have established IN the Azores, the
Bermudas, the Bahamas, the North coast
Of South America, and a score of points
IN the West Indies.
with these combine observations we
are able TO make out a fairy accurate
map of the storm centers of the c)as
and furnish the information TO vessels
within reach Of the wireless stations
along the coast,
But when we get daily observations
from vessels al over the world we will
be able to map out the storm cen -ers
and cover practically the entire area Of
every ocean.
This information we viii be able to
send back TO the ships within two hours
Of the time they sent their readings, and
they viii have chance to steeB clear OF
the storm cen-ers and thus avoid danger
The total area of the force of the Cal
weston storm was not over 2J00 miles. and
had any vessel been warned OF that in
time 10 would have been able 10 keep out
Of the storm center. It IS easy to see
from this the immense value such sys-
TEN viii have. 1t is simple. Inexpensive,
and bound to come"
