TORECAsTING STORMS.
Chicr Of tho Weather Huracu Tells
IinxN Il Is nnne.

Professor Willis l.. Moore. chief of the
United States Weather Bureau. gave an
Interesting lecture Frdav evening IT. the
Williams Science hall on STORMS and
Forccastinu"
t'pon being introduced by President
Puckham. Professor Moore said that tie
weather has SO much 70 do with our
condition that ;he subject is OF Interest
TO everyone. TO obtain information upor
which to base forecasts OF the weather.
there are TOO observation stations scatter
- through the country The observations
made at these stations are reported by
telegraph TO the forccastlng center at
Washington, where charts are made out
giving a panoramic view OF the weather
conditions ot the whole country.
'rhc speaker mentioned the last solar
eclipse aud said that the human mind
could not yet comprehend the conditions
relating to the sun. He then spoke Of
the strength OF the sun. the position of
the stars ard planets and the favorable
location of the earth as planet, and
gave an account of the former life of the
moor.
After those remarks In way Of preface.
Professor Moore began the discussion of
storms and the method OF forecastng
them. The cyclonic or whrlins storm is
caused by the ascending and deccndr2
currents of air. From this point stercopt-
con views were used O illustrate the
methods OF forecasting and OF making
public the information gained. The cold
wave was discussed in an interesting
manner and a series of maps were In
troduced to show the progress of cyclones
and hurricanes. Then the use of danger
signals was explained and some idea was
given of their use to shipping inter
ests.
one OF the most interesting parts Of the
| lecture was the careful explanation and
I illustration. Of the tornado. Professor
! Moore exhibited the only actual picture
! OF a tornado cloud in existence. Some IN
7 teresting pictures were shown TO illus
! trate the work OF tornadoes.
, The speaker mentioned tho use Of
I kites and balloons to the weather fore
! caster and spoke OF the possibilities or
! a. r!al navigation. Among the more I'M
portant results will be the possibilities
Of zvar-balloons: they will make war so
terrible and the destructive power so
cheap that questions must he settled by
! right rather than by might.
The Use Of explosives for various pur-
fposes as preventing hailstorms and pro-
| duclng rain was olsCus9eu anu '"e i"'
lacy Of tic claims OF so-called ia in pro-
curers proved.
Another popular question mentioned
was the claim Of many people that the
climate is different from that of Nifty
years ago. This claim, tho speaker said,
IS absolutely without foundation; the
change is in the individual and not In the
. climate.
In closing. the speaker mentioned the
use of wireless telegraphY. He does not
predict any general supplanting OF other
systems by tho wireless system, but
things its greatest usefulness will be
found In sending messages TO and from
ships at sea. BY it observation may be
transmitted 10 Washington, and storms
upon the sea may be forecasted and
chips warned Of their approach.

realize that We are to begin government
this year under a new charter and in

change made before We attempt 10 install
that system. for it Will he to your per
sonal advantage as taxpayers. The demo-
Gratis Will reply that there is no wrong
now and that all the public money is be
ing used right. but they made that same
reply last year, When ! said the money
In the poor department was being used
to advance the political interests OF GER
tain persons they said that there was
nothing wrong there, but We succeeded In
installing as ovcrseer of the poor man
who would not obey the orders OF our

of orange ribbon this evening.
Il don't want it so very wide or so

BE sure and get a pretty shade Of
orange, dear: and I'd prefer it with
one side satin and the other gros
grain. although all satin or all gros-
grain will do; but think you can
easily get the other If you look about
little: and be sure, dear, not to get
picquet edged ribbon, but one with
Just a plain corded edge; and don't
get a remnant; and don't get any
shade but orange; not a real vivid
orange. either. but a piece that will
look well with pale green; and don't
pay too much for it; and don't get red
or blue. or green. or pink by mistake
