STORMS TO PREDICT SELVES
Wireless Stations to Be Used to Make
Tempests Send Their Own
Warning Ahead.

Storm centers move usually In an
easterly or northeasterly direction.
Hence the prediction of storms on the
Atlantic coast is possible. since most
Of them come from the Mississippi
valley. Some come up the coast from
the Caribbean sea. but even in this
ease We have no warning.
But western Europe Is less fortu-
nate. Its tempests come from the At
lantic. and with little warning. Euro
pean weather men have made as much
as possible study OF the paths of
American storms across the Atlantic
and are sometimes accurate In pre-
dieting the time Of their arrival; the
same has been done with storms com.
ing up from the South Atlantic.
But 1t often happens that storms
vary either their route or the rate of
movement. SO that predicting cyclones
on the coast Of western Europe Is
more or less guesswork.
AS a possible help in this respect
Director Andre Of the Lyons observa-
tory is making n deep study OF the
galvanometer records of various wire
less telegraph stations.
He has found that the antennae are
sensitive to any stray electric currents
as we'll as to messages. and he hopes
to discover a way to make the storms
telegraph their own warning ahead of
their arrival.
Every storm Is accompanied by elec-
trical disturbances, and already M.
Andre has accumulated a mass of evi.
dence to show that each storm In this
way gives warning. Just how to read
this evidence is the problem to which
he Is devoting himself

PARK BOARD SEEKS SOLUTION OF WELL
 WATER PROBLEM
COMMON DRINK ING CUP STRIPS PARKS OF
 DELIGHTFUL FEATURE.
PATRONS MUST BRING OWN CUPS OR GO THIRSTY-INVENT
 GETTING BUSY.

The delightful and refreshing spring water which has been a blessing of Seaside and Beardsley perks in the past, is very apt to be of no more use to the pubic because the Park commissioners have been unable to find some arrangement whereby the water can be used in accordance with the law passed at the last session of the legislature.
 This law requires sanitary methods for serving the water. The old tin cup has been tabooed. The small waxed paper cups are found imprac- ticable for use in the parks and there is no other means of serving the wa ter unless it is scooped up in the bare hands.
 Inventors and mechanics have been experimenting at the Crane Valve Go. trying to perfect some sort of a fountain to handle the proposition. The Park commissioners have found one or two which were said to be worthy for such use but these are of little use as water is left standing in the mouth o6 the fountains and the sun speedily makes Ahis of no use as a thirst quenchef.
 President George M. Flames of the Park board said to-day: I'm afraid that we will have to furnish city wa ter from the bubble fountains in the parks and do away with the spring water altogether. It is impossible to get a suitable fountain which would serve the water from the springs."
