IGNORED THE WARNING.

The value of the signal service was
aptly demonstrated by the great storm
which devastated the Gulf coast from
the north of the Mississippi to the
west shore of Florida few days ago,
The signal service foretold the coming
Of that storm sevral days in advance
and designated the line of coast it
would strike. Had the inhabitants of
the coast region between Lake Pontchar-
train and Mobile have taken warning
and prepared themselves for the hurri-
cane, the loss of life and property
would have been much smaller than/it
was; shipping, especially, would have
been preserved from great injury. But
it is the popular habit to laugh at the
signal service and to ignore its storm
predictions. hence the timely warning
given the Gull coast people did little
to avert th damage. The great storm
which overwhelmed Galveston in 1900
was foretold three or four days in ad-
vance, but the warning was unheeded.
By and by people will come to study
storm signals and pay intelligent heed
to the predictions sent out by the serv-
ice.
