STUDYING THE WEATHER.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

fishing trip and all other affairs de-
pendent upon the weather far in advance
assured that there would be no disap-
pOintment thereafter.
The instrument used by the weather
bureau for the ascertainment of the
changes in radiation is known as the pyr-
heliometer. Coupled with an electrical re-
sistance thermometer. it is so sensitive
to heat that it can register a difference
in the temperature millions of times more
minute than may be recognized by the
average person. The pyrheliometer is
made of two blackened disks fitted on a
rod. pulley fashion. and immersed in
water. The suns rays are concentrated
on these disks and the amount of radia-
ton is determined by the varying tenn
perature of the water at the different ex-
poSureS.

The weather bureau at Washington anu
nearly all of the other meteorological IN
stitutions OF the world are now engaged
in taking observations of the temperature
of the sun. with view to determining
what changes take place in the radiation
of heat from that luminary. Many years
ago Prof. Samuel P. Langley of the
Smithsonian Institution. having observed
that the appearance of spots on the sun
nearly always coincided with weather
disturbances. came to the conclusion that
perhaps the law of the weather might be
based on changes in the amount OF heat
given off by the sun from day to day.
With this opinion as a working basis.
astronomers and meteorologists all over
the world have become interested in the
matter and have resorted to all sorts Of
plans to wrest this secret from the sun.
1t Is believed that the changes In radia-
ton follow certain movements OF the sun
and that they recur at certain well de-
fined periods. just as the seasons change
Oh earth. How long the periods are is
not known, neither has any one yet dis
covered what brings them about. There
seems to have been some foregleam OF
this new idea of weather prediction in the
long-range forecasts OF the past Al
though modern meteorology has decried
the art of the long-range forecasters. mil
lions of people still believe In the verify
of the weather predictions OF their old
fashioned almanacs.
The meteorological institutions OF the
world have entered into a sort of agree
meht to record upon every favorable day
the rad alton of the sun and the related
polarization of sky life. These observa-
tions are exchanged by the different in
stitutions, and when they have been
taken for a long term Of years and are
compared with the weather RECORDS OF
those years It. is hoped that weather
forecasting at long range will become
scientific reality.

The pyrheliometer differs radically from
the instrument used by the astrophysical
o b servatory
Bolometer Accurately in the in
Records Temperature. it is makins
to the same end This instrument is
known as the bolometer. 1t was invented
by Prof. Langley and improved by Prof.
Abbot. who is now in charge Of the astro-
physical observatory. AS improved this
instrument is capable of recognizing a
difference of temperature up to the hun
dred -millionth part of degree. One OF
its essentials is the thread of a spider
web, a hundred times more delicate than
any thread ever spun by human hand.
The gauze of fiy's wing is another item
called for in it's construction. to which is
pasted a mirror as small as a pin head
but as perfectly ground as a fifty-thou-
sand dollar reflector. The ray whose heat
is to be measured Is thrown into the tiny
reflector and from that upon a thread OF
spun glass The general principle of the
bolometer is the same as that of the
little solar motors one sees in many jew
elers' windows Pyrheliometers also are
used by Prof. Abbot in his investigation
of the constancy of solar radiation.
These Investigations are only a small
part of the weather studies being made
by the weather bureau at Washington.
Some years ago an observatory was
erected on the top of the Blue Ridge
mountains. in Virginia. and here all sorts

all kinds of ingenious and delicate instru-

MONEY FOR THE HOSPITAL.

NA0 HATEVER may be the exigencies of the municipal finances
WY there is certainly no warrant for any action by the finance
committee of a nature to cripple the work of the City
Hospital. DR.. James T. Wrightson, chairman of the hospital com
mittee of the Board of Health, 4ook the right attitude when he in
formed the mayor that he would resign rather than submit to
having the work of the hospital injured by lack of money! He
found a sympathzer in Mayor Haussling, as he will in every citizen.
The city fnanciers are animated by a commendabe desire to keep
down the expenses and make both ends meet, and the hospital
appropriation is only one of a number of the items that are in
course of pairing down. But more care should be taken in respect
to an institution of this character than in the cases of other appro.
priations. Hospital expenses keep on increasing every year with
the increasing demands upon the institution, and as long as the
appropriations are not extravaganuy or corruptly expended re
trenchment means a cheaper quality of food, less skilful care and
inferior hospital work. An increase of u per cent. in the number
of patients over last year is shown, while the hospital aecommoda
lions are greatly exceeded. 1t may be possible to shift off some
classes of patients to other institutions, and if that can be done
the smaller appropriation will be sufficient. Chronic cases should
not be maintained in a public hospital, anyhow, if they can find
proper shelter and care elsewhere.

POSTAL CHARGE SYSTEM
ATTACKED BY PUBLISHERS.
Contention Is That There Is No
Scientific Basis.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Technical
matters took up almost the entire
time yesterday of the Congressional
committee investigating the rates
charged by the postal authorities for
second-class mail matter. Charles III.
Mcbride, the railway mail expert. was
recalled. and entered into a smass of
figures. to support the contention OF
the department that the present rates
are too low in proportion to those
charged for other classes of mail mat
ter and should be increased.
There was a full representation, ~
publishers to listen to a searching
cross-examination of Mr.. Mcbride by
Herbert Noble, their counsel. He
questioned the witness for several
hours in an endeavor to show that the
post Office authorities had no scientific
ground for their division of the cost of
the postal service between different
of mail matter.

THE CITY BOOR

r S there any reason under the sun why persons born and bred inside a city
corporation should, by that token, consider themselves superior beings?
Oh, but they do! They are convinced that they are the table salt
of the earth They are sure that folks born in the country if they are salt at
ALL are merely sheep salt And they pride themselves or their superior polish
and sophshcahon-on their good breeding" they call it-as compared with
the ilbreedng and al-round boorishness of the county-born.
They are so convinced of their superiority in all things and of the utter
infedory and no-accountness of the country-bred that they are wont to lump
country folks contemptuousy as "clod-hoppers" Though heaven knows why
hopping clods should be considered an occupation deserving of contempt), and
to laugh att them openly and secretly to sell them gold bricks when they come
to town.
sensibfihes and n rights IS opposed to the whims and convenience of city
folks, that when they go to the country they do things that would land the
country mar in jail if he weret attempt something similar in the city.
For city folks in the country lot only outrage the rural sense of pro-
preb by assuming an air of superiority that country folks know is not JUS
titled by fact but also outrage the rural rights of property by assuming that
the farmers fields we're made to be trampled, his orchards planted to be
robbed and his chickens Matched to be run down by motor cars.
In short the dihdent boorshness of the "clod- hopper" in the city isn't a
patching to the brazen boorishness of the city nan in the country.

COMPLAIN About Noise.
II of the Evening Star:

To ihe Editor of the Evening Star:
While | am not a crank" l cannot
help expressing annoyance at the I'M
necessary noises in this city. The
worst, l think, is the shouting of huck-
sters. They keep it up from morning
until night. In Newark we have a
great many men who work nights, and,
therefore, are compelled to sleep in the
daytime. Every day in summer, and
very often in winter, they are awak-
ened. There should be some way to
stop this nuisance, if only for the sake
of the workingmen. Reading or a
Front porch is impossible. If 1t is not a
huckster it is a hand-organ grinder
grinding out alleged music. Together,
they make the summer miserable for
those who nave to spend the summer
in the city. ANTI-NOISE.

Raining Paint.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Their should be an ordinance, pos
sibly there is, but the writer believes
not, compelling sign painters to can
vas or in some other way protect
passersby on the street when they are
at work on signs high in the air.
Last Saturday a painter was at work
on a narrow scaffolding at the fourth
floor of a building not far from the
-Four Corners. He used first a particu-
larly vivid shade of green and then a
bright red. Every time he would take
a fresh brushful of paint a regular
rain of it would come down and many
persons clothes were plentifully
sprinkled with tiny paint spots.

Any Arizona as States has been passed by Congress without the
amendment striking from the Arizona Constitution the pro.
vision for the recall of judges it is up to President Taft to sign

vote in both houses oer the Presidents veto? 1t is exceedingly
doubtful But the two territories are required to vote again upon
the most important provisions of their Constitutions at the next
general election, and it will be necessary for the voters in Arizona
to again declare in favor of judiciary recall. Whatever may be the

THE ADMISSION OF FUTURE STATES.

cTS HlRTYFIVE States have been admitted to the Union since
Ill 1888, when the Union consisted only of the thirteen original
States. With New Mexico and Arizona the last of the con.
nnental territories will have been absorbed. Some time in the
future a State or two will be carved out of Alaska, which as vet
is regarded as a no mans land, and it is not improbable by that
time that Lower California will be American territory and in shape
to be converted into a State. But what shall be done with our
insuiar possessions? The question of statehood for them is not
yet ripe, but it will be an issue of the near future. Our relations
with Cuba are also unsettled. The Cubans have not demonstrated
a capacity for selfgovernment and we cannot tolerate misrule and
a succession of revolutions in the island. The belief is firmly held
by many public men, both in the United States and Cuba. that
eventually the authority of our government must stretch over Cuba.
But the problem of insular States of the Union will be met and
solved in its time.

Curley, a carriage manufacturer in that
borough for many years, who died on
July 80 last in Austria. His will was
filed yesterday in Brooklyn. The estate
is estimated at 5000, 900.
Mr.. Curley was 10 years old and a
bachelor In his lifetime he was known
for his philanthropy. The chief bene-
ficiaries of his will are Roman Catholic
institutions, Mr.. Curley having been of
thai faith. There are sixty-three be-
quests and fifty of these are to chart
table institutions.
