Probs'' Who Makes Weather
 Is 75 To-Day

WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. g. Cleveland Abbe, the noted MeteorolO- gist, familiarly known as "Old Prcbe," !" celebrated the 18th anniversary of his birth today in the circle of his family and friends. The fact that for more than forty years, or ever since he be- came connected with the meteoToIogi- cal bureau of the Government, he has been the most abused man in the country, has evidently had no depress
 ing effect upon his enjoyment of fife and of a happy old age Mir. Abbe was a mathematician. astronomer, survey or and meteOrolCgist of note before h became connected with the Go1- ernment service. but his popular fame rests principally upon the fact that the idea of issuing daily weather maps and weather reports covering the North American continent. origi- mated with him. He was born in New ! lork City and was educated at the College of the City of New York, the
 University of Michigan and Harvard
 University, receiving many degrees from A. B. to IL D. In 1860 he be- came assistant to Dr. E. A. Gould, Of the United States Coast Survey. Four years later he became assistant at the Imperial Observatory, PouIkoya, near St Petersburg, Russia, and two years later assistant at the United States Naval Observatory. In 1868 he became director of the Cincinnati Observatory. . where he established a system of daily weather me4ps o fthe United States, with a forecast of the weather for Cincinnati. His plan was later adopted by the United States Gov eTnment and in 1871 Mir. Abbe was made professor of meteorology in the
 |. S. Signal service. and in 1891 in the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture. pr.
 Abbe is 8 member of a large number
 of learned societies anr has been
 awarded honorary degrees by many
 colleges and universities in tie United States, in Canada and in yari-
 ous countries of Europe. He has ae- companied many scientific expedi. tions, acted as delegate to various scientific conferences and has been
 one of the most active factors in dis- tributing knowledge of metcoFology
