'CENTERs OF ACTION" CONTROL

The abnormally cold weather of the past
few days. not alone In this city and vicin-
ity, but generally throughout the country,
is causing a great deal Of comment not
only in scientific circles, but among lay
men. Thus far the month Of May has been
record smasher as to low temperatures
Prof Edward B. Garriott of the United
States weather bureau says:
Periods of excessive heat or cold. and
of drought or stress of rain, are invariably
associated with marked irregularities
in the location and movement or In the
character and intensity Of the great con-
tinental and oceanic areas of high and low
barometric pressure During periods of alb
normal heat or drought in any part of the
northern hemisphere there is an undue
and stagnated accumulation of air in hand
about one of the great anticyclonic areas
and a corresponding deficiency in and about
one of the great cyclonic areas. Periods Of
cold or of excessive precipitation due
either to abnormally rapid changes In the
greater atmospheric areas, whereby rapid
progression of the lesser areas of high and
low barometer produces a succession Of
cold waves and rains or to a persistent alb
normal distribution or development of one
or more of the greater areas whereby ex-
listing conditions of cold or of wet are pro-
longed. 1t is also true that abnormalities
of weather over some portions of the
globe, or of the northern hemisphere, are
counterbalanced by opposite tendencies over
other portions Thus months that are ex-
ceptionaIly warm cold, wet or dry. over
the United States east of the Rocky noun
talns have similar characteristics over
Europe and at least part of western Asia
and exhibit opposite tendencies over the
United States west of the Rocky noun
tains and over southeastern Asia. An ex-
PLANTATION of this fact is found in a study
of the greater areas of high and low
barometric pressure or 'centers of action
of the northern hemisphere.

Centers of Action.


These centers of action appear to con-
troll the character and movements of the
areas of high and low barometer that ap-
pear on our daily weather maps and in
efforts to coordinate the causes that con-
tribute to produce weather effects in the
hemisphere as a whole or in any of It's
parts all causes are important and none
can be neglected Prof. Ham has found
that pressure changes in the Azores high
area and the Iceland low area are inter-
related and of an opposite character, and
that these changes are associated with
certain phases of weather in central and
northwestern Europe. He has discovered
that rising barometer over the Azores is
usually attended by falling barometer over
Iceland, and, vice versa, that falling ba
rometer in the Azores high area is attended
by rising barometer IN Iceland low area.
Also that falling barometer In the Iceland
area produces warmer weather over CEN
trail and northwestern Europe, and that
rising barometer over Iceland Is followed
by falling temperature over northwestern
Europe 1t appears, therefore, that marked
changes in the Azores high area, regard
ing which advices are cabled daily, afford
an index of the character of the weather
that will prevail for several days over
considerable portion of Europe.
Among aforementioned abnormal sea-
sons, or parts of seasons. when the influ-
ence of the dominating 'centers of atmo-
spheric action was conspicuous were the
mild months of the winters OF 1SS9-9o
and 1866, and the cold months of the
winters of 1904 and 19O4-5. The months
of the winters of 19S9-9o and 1866 that
were warm over great portions of the
usual depression in the Boring sea low
or

Distribution of Pressure.

During the cold months of 1904 and
19oi-5 an entirely dissimilar distribution of
pressure in the great 'centers of action
obtained. Pressure was unusually high In
the Boring sea and Iceland low areas and
the magnitude, or extent, of the Asiatic
high area was vastly less than during the
winters of 1SS9-9o and 1866 The Pacific
high area did not impinge on the California
coast and the Azores high area was in
conspicuous and unpermanent The north
western portion of the American continent
was not subjected to the influence of abb
normally low pressure off its western coast
and British America therefore became the
seat of an area OF high barometer from
which cold waves were drawn southwark
in the wake of areas of low barometer that
traversed the United States. The absence
OF the Pacific high area seemed also to
contribute to a more southern origin of
American storms, and to undue barometrfc
depression and precipitation over the south
western portion of the country. In Europe
where the winters of 1854 ard 1904-5 were
also cold. we look first for the Iceland low
area, and find instead pressure much above
the normal in that region; the Azores high
does not exist in permanent form The
Asiatic high occupies about one-haif the
area that marks its limits during the warm
seasons In Europe and America The effect
of this abnormal distribution of pressure
over Asia and Europe is to cause an un-
usual prevalence of northwest winds over
a greater part of Europe and to lessen the
force of winds blowing from the interior of
Asia over the southeastern portions of that
continent"

Deepened Boring Sea Area.

sHThe deepened Boring sea area EXTENDED
and overlapped the northwestern part of
North America. and offshoots therefrom
moved eastward In abnormally high lati-
tudes The resultant abnormal depression
of the barometer over northwestern British
America caused an unsual prevalence OF
southerly winds over northern portions OF
the United States and apparently prevented
the formation OF the areas of high baroIn-
ater over British America that are essential
to the origin and propagation OF American
cold waves ..,
at has also been evident that during per-
,ods of abnormal depression in the Bering
Geo low area. the Pacific area of high
bororueter increases in mass and oVerlaps
the southwestern coasts or the Unlted
states producing over greater or less
nortion of the region lying west of the
Rocky mountains temperatures below the
seasonal average. The warmer weather
over central and northwestern Europe that
is usually associated with excuses in Win
ter ternperature in North America appears
to be in a great measure due to an increase
in the magnitude of the Asfatic high area
that attends an abnormal depression in the
Rering sea low area. AT such times an I'M
usually steep barometric gradient from
Asia over Europe and an increase In the
Atlantic high area, cause an undue preva-
lence of warm southerly winds over CEN
trail and northwestern Europe, and, coinci-
IDENTIFY the augmented Siberian high area
causes a sweep of cold north or northwest
winds over southeastern Asia.

BETTER PROTECTION
FOR LADING BILLS
Desire of Bankers Who
Want Railroads Held for
Agents Frauds.
URGE BILL ON CONGRESS
Louis E. Pearson, Of New York, Lays
the Matter Before the Inter
state Commission.

Nearly 5000, 100000 Of money transac-
Jions are conducted each year in this
country, wherein bills of lading c0nsti-
tute the security for money advanced
by bankers. Yet bankers claim that
bills OF ladiug are so poorly safeguarded
In law and In commercial practice that
the business of advancing money on
them is dangerous in the extreme.
Heavy losses are sustained every year
by bankers, on account OF frauds and
carelessness that permeate them, and
also ON account of legal uncertainties
about the status OF bills Of ladIuE
Would Affect Commerce.
Not only are bankers concerned. but
people who buy and ship products and
are able TO turn their money over rap
idly, by reason of the Willingness Of
banks 10 accept bills as security for
drafts. To deprive the bill of lading
of its availability as security, would add
tremendously 10 the difficulty Of NOV
ing crops both West and South. The
amount OF money required I'm the opera
Liou would greatly increase.
These phases Of the situation have
been brought 10 the attention Of the
American Bankers Association, and a
committee of Jnat body, represented by
Louis j.. Pearson, president Of the Ma
tional Exchange Bank of New York,
has laid the matter before the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Diversity of Holdings.
Mr.. Pearson, on behalf of the bankers,
wanted to enlist support for a bin that
viii De pressed IN Congress- this winter
The bankers want it made law that the
railroad company whose authorized
agent issues a fraudulent bill OF Iadng.
shall be responsible for the act and
make good the money advanced against
that bin. At present, while there is
some diversity OF holdings among the
courts. the tendency OF opinion is to
maintain, when an agent issues a bill
against a wrongly described consign-
ment or a bogus bill, he is acting out
side or his authority and, therefore. is
not the lawful agent of the railroad
in that transaction and the railroad is
not responsible.
Another cause of much difficulty fs
The fact that freight is often delivered
without taking zap the bill of lading.
