In Washington and Oregon in about
two days; and should get to tho
Great Lakes in six days and to the At
lantic Coast in seven or eight days.
Unexpected conditions may delay
storms or divert them from the
straight track just as refrigerator
car may be thrown off it's schedule or
be shipped by accident on a wrong
road Some of these storms deplete
themselves by running into regions
of high barometer which are OF great
er magnitude and extent than the
storm itself. Some Of them, however,
travel completely around the world. :
To keep tab on cold waves that
come into the United States from
Canada and Alaska, the Weather Bu-
reau studies the Canadian Weather
reports. England sends reports from
Iceland, the British Islands and Con-
tinental Europe, and daily reports
come from ST. Petersburg on the con-
ditions III Russia and Siberia.
The same business-lke system us
cd in tracing the track Of storm is
applied in determining the arrival of
frosts.
Flood forecasts are made in much
the same way. Information as to the
amount OF rainfall at the head waters
Of streams that cause floods are COW
cred by teiegraphic reports sent 10y
local observers. AS this train reaches
the main channel, the height Of the
water in the channel is determined
by successive gaging stations. Past
records establish how much height,
say Of 20 feet at Dubuque. Iowa, will
produce at Davenport another static
so miles down the mississippi. This
plan is followed all the way down the
river and at each point fulfNallowance
is made for the effects Of water from
tributaries, and from additional and
local rainfall. AS a result OF these
observations in the recent flood, the
people of Cairo had warning a week
or ten days in advance. The Pitts
burgh district can be given only IL to
81 hours notice, because Il food is up
on them within "a hours after heavy
rain storm.

cured and the Forecasts are Made.

cured ana tie forecasts are Mnuc.
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 21.-Ma-
ny people have an idea that there
Is something mysterious and occult
about the work of the Weather Bu-
reau in forecasting the coming OF
storms, frosts aud floods. Not q few
think that the observers must neces-
sarily get their data by reading the
planets, the stars and the moon. AS
Il matter Of fact the forecaster Of the
bureau fortells the coming of dis
turbances in a business-like way, very
similar to that in which q man who
has ordered a shipment of goods
would estimate the date of its ar
rival.
Suppose business man had or
dered carload Of pincapplcs from
the Hawaiian Islands. He would
know the average time it would take
he steamer to make the trip to the
pncific port, the average time for un-
loading and loading into refrigerator
cars, and the average number Of days
to be allowed these cars for their
trip across the continent to New York.
His estimate, however, would be sub
jcct to error because the steamship
might be delayed by fog, or the cars
might meet with an accident.
Storms, like pineapplcs, as a rule
do not originate in the United States.
They come to us, some from the Phil
lippincs, Japan, Siberia, Alaska, Can
ada or the Gulf Of Mexico. The
Weather Bureau gets cable, telegraph
ic or wireless notice Of foreign
storm. Station after station, or ves-
sci after vessel reports the storms
arrival in it's neighborhood, SO that
the general direction and rate Of pro-
gress can be determined very early.
In fact, the arrival Of some storms can
be forctold ten days in advance.

gion Of low barometer which is the

once revealed his dissipation have
disappeared during three years of

the fascination of much older women
