STORMS To PREDICT SELVES
Wireless Stations to Be Used to Mako
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
case 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 It 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 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 well as to messages. and he hopes
to discover way to make the storms
telegraph their own warning ahead Of
their arrival.
Every storm is accompanied by elec.
trical disturbances, and already NJ.
Andre has accumulated 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.
