government officials of the country. His long and valuable connection with the weather bureau, first as professor of meteorology in charge of the Chicago forecast district, and later as chief of the bureau, has brought him conspic- uously before the public until today his
 name is intimately associated in the pub- | lie mind with all matters pertaining t. the weather and kindred subjects. He has done more than anybody else tc raise the standard of efficiency of the weather bureau. and to bring the practical value of the weather service clearly be- fore the public. He has done much to- wards directing the attention of educa- tors to the study of meteorology. He has written many valuable books and papers on both the scientific and prac- tical phases of the subject. Combining g thorough scientific knowledge and a com plete mastery of the details of the bu- reau in it's many ramifcations, with splendid business and executive ability, he is the ideal man for the place he so ably fills.
 Appointed chief of bureau July i, 1895, by President Cleveland, he has held the position continuously ever since. notwfth- standing the several political upheavals that have taken place during this pe- riod. This is a high tribute to his splen- did services and to the general public es- teem in which he Is held.
 Professor Moore's achievements are not confined to the field of meteorology. and climatology alone, but he is identified with the leading scientific societies of the country. Until recently he was president of the National Geographic society, which position he' held at the time that SO ciety passed on Pearys claims to the discovery Of the north pole.
 He is also vice president of the Wash ington Academy of Science; Fellow of the American Association for the Advance ment of Science; honorary member of Royal Meteorological Society of England. and also of the Austrian Meteorological society. The degrees of IL. D. and s. C. D.. have been conferred on him for meritorious services in the advancement of science.
 One of his latest scientific writings is a work on descriptive meteoroogy, pub lished by D. Appleton & Co, 1910, an au- thoritative work on the subjects treated. Early in 1910, at the re---est of the House committee on agriculture, Professor Moore submitted a report of the Influence of Forests on Climate and on Floods.' which
 is an exhaustive treatment of these sub jects. effectively silencing the claims of the over-zealous conservationists that for ests had any material influence on eli mate, or that the cutting away of tho forests has of itself appreciably changed the flood stage in our rivers.
