The present weather bureau consists or q central

defined by Congress arc that records shall be kept
and forecasts made this end about 200 stations are
maintained with OF about 600 people.
Each station is equipped With scls-recordIng in

His earliest studies of the weather transmitted
to us in the form of proverbs. These proverbs were
simply the result of the experience of one or many
persons

scientific inquiry into the laws governing the wealth
and metcorology not only did not advance, but
In the Middle Ages the weather lore was simply
portion of asroogy. and what weather predictions
were made given out by the disciples of this
ancient science.
The first attempt to explain the rainbow By renec-
ton In the drops Of rain was by n German monk
Tkeodorc in 1911. This of the first efforts
to explain in a scientific phenomenon of
the atmosphere.
Buthe general science OF metcorology could not adj
materially except as the knowledge of general
physics advanced and precise scientific instruments
were invented.
The first important instrument to be invented was
the Thermometer This instrument dates from the
time Of Calico who devised the instrument probably
in 1897. The form OF this early thermometer re-
scmbles somewhat the modern barometer with an
imperfect vacuum, and first used generally by
famous physican Sanctorous, in his lectures l6ll-

In 1855 the alcohol thermometer invented, fol-

The barometer also had its inception at the time
OF Calico although the invention of this instrument
generally attributed to his pupil orliccllo, in 1913
After this instruments multiplied rapidly and the
study could progress, but the field OF observation was
so large That u considerable period elapsed before

APPLICATION OF FORECASTS
AND WARNINGS.

Warnings OF frosts and freezing
weather are valuable to the fruit, sugar,
tobacco, cranberry, and market gardening
interests.
Warnings of storms and hurricanes are
of immense value to marine interests.
Warnings of cold waves are of value to
all interests.
River commerce is aided by publication
of river and flood stages.
VALUE OF FORECAST WARNINGS.
$5,500,0O0 we're saved by warnings is
sued for single cold wave of exceptional
severity.
$15,000,0OO worth of live stock and
other property were, on one occasion, re-
moved from regions in the lower Misss-
sppi River valley that were afterwards
inundated.
100000 wortl, of vegetables, oranges,
and Strawberries were saved on a single
night in limited district of Florida by

\ mishap to Collins in the fourth
game of the third set with Sinclair
saved his bacon. Sinclair got warmed
up to his stroke. He had the ball hyp-
Noticed and Collins trained to 60 after
it wherever he put it. The latter
worked up so much speed in the chase
that when he reversed his power on a
run in he spilled forward and plunged
head first under the net, sustaining a
bump that knocked him ont for about
twenty minutes. While Collins WAS
being revived Sinclair s mechanism
cooled and he lost control over the
ball, while Collins recovered from the
fatigue of the chase and turned the
tables on Sinclair.
Collins put all his energy into the
first set and beat Sinclair -. but
Sinclair got to running smoothly in
the second heat and shut out Collins
with a Go set. Collins snatched one
game in the third, but he was pretty
near all in and Sinclair got two on
him. The latter was going under full
steam and nothing could hold him when
Collins pulled off his spectacular dive
which broke the spell and after that
Sinclair couldn t come back He only
got away with three more games while
Collins COPIED six and the third set

PUTS ON FAST BOUT
WITH JIM CORBETT.

BEN LOMOND, Cal, June TO-
That Jeffries has worked up an i'm
pregnabIe defense against Johnson's
was the verdict Of the
camp after watching the wonderful
ly fast bout between the white cham
pion and Corbett this morning. Ev-
er since coming to the camp, Cor
bett has been practicing the murder
Gus jab which has done SO much to
win the negro's fights. This morn
ing he sent lightning volleys OF
blows at Jeff. who hooked them all
before they landed. Jeff's showing
in the Corbett bout was little short
Of phenomenal, outboxing the form
er king of sparrers. Eddie Smith,
the Oakland referee, comparing his
condition today with that when Jeff
first appeared after six years retire
ment, declared 1t was hard to be-
lieve him the same man. "In my
opinion, he said "he Is fit to fight
the toughest sort OF battle right
now" This afternoon Jeff took to
the road, making a speedy four mile
run back to camp In 26 minutes ov-
er the mountain roads. There will
be more boxing tomorrow, but not
with Corbett or Choynski as the
pair go to Frisco to appear in a
three round bout exhibition for the
benefit of a fraternal organization.
