localities in the United States and
ers do not volunteer their personal
opinions about what is going TO hap
pen. They confine themselves to a
plain statement of the actual condi-
tons at that particular moraent, the
pressure or weight, of the atmosphere,
the temperature, the direction and
velocity of the wind, the amount of
rain since the last report, and so forth
From this information the weather
map of the United States is made up,
showing the conditions that prevail in
every part of the country. Since there
are two maps for each day, it is OBJ
vious that by comparing them the fore
caster can keep track of the course
and progress of both storms and peri
DDS of clear weather From that, the
next step is TO predict what sort of
weather will prevail for day or two

HOW THE WEATHER. IS FoREcAsTEp

Replying to an inquiry by a CORE
spondent the weekly news letter tn
crop correspondents printed by author
ity OF the secretary of agriculture tells
how weather forecasting is done as
follows:
10 this the shortest and simplest
answer is: BY telegraph. The weather
forecaster does not look out of the
window and guess. He is not weather
wise Ike the old salt who scents the
approach of storm without knowing
why To the signs by which the or
binary citizen decides whether to take
his umbrella with him or leave it at
nome, he pays no attention. Give him
his telegraph wires and he can make
mis- predictions as accurately in a win
uoWleSs cellar as on the top of New
forks highest skyscraper.
The private individual sees the clouds
settle on nearby mountain or the
rain sweep over a field a mile from
his house and knows that the storm
Will be on him in a few minutes. With
the aid of the telegraph the weather
man sees the same storm when it is a
thousand miles away, and not only
this storm but every other one in the
country. He knows in what direction
and at what speed each is moving, and
can thus calculate with reasonable ac-
curacy the approximate time when it
