90 ONE months ago France Cs'.b-
Nshad the first Of a series If
~ what are known as wireless
" lighthouses. Now matter-of-
fact Uncle sam has gone the bizarre
Frenchman one better, with the same
purpose in view--namely. the trans
mission Of signals to ships ut eea.
The American officials have devised
and put into use an Ingenious scheme
of infinitely wider range and appIca-
ton and consequently of proportions
ately greater value than the French
project.
Maybe 1t requires something Of n
stretch Of imagination to Identify the
French stations as "Wireless light
houses" but that i9 what they are
called nevertheless The nickname is
due to the circumstance that these
new signaling stations on the French
coast instead of sending forth beams
of light to warn and guide mariners,
discharge seward electric or wireless
waves which in effect answer the
same purpose-that is, they indicate
to a ship its exact position and warn
It of danger.
Uncle Sans Advancement IS Of
greater scope. IIo makes use Of his
lately established wireless towers-thc
most powerful in the world to SEND
signals to ships far and wide. No,
merely ships within thirty miles Of
shore. as Is the case in the French
system. but vessels almost anywhere
in the North Atlantic ocean hun
dreds or mayhap even thOusg ndS o.
miles from the sending station.
There is, however. one important
difference between the French and the
American systems. due TO the some
what different functions for which
they have been instituted, The prl-
mary purpose Of the French system
being to warn ships Of the dangers

Government.
1t is worthy Of note in this connee-
ton, too, that Uncle Sam is taking the
initiative in this new field. Nor - II
the first time either. The United
States cannot compare with Great
Britain Germany, etc, AS Il ship
owning nation, and yet 1t was his ma
ton that built and put in commission
the first derelict destroyer a vessel
that has rendered such service for the
navigation interests OF the entire
world. Then again the other mari
time powers sat tight while this re-
public esta bllshed an 'ice patrol Of

The Weather Bureaus Reporting
system.
The L, s. Weather Bureau Is in n
good position TO undertake the re
sponsi bility Of these daily long-ranEe
forecasts because the institution has
in recent years greatly improved It's
system and facilities for looking ahead
in the matter of weather prohablN-
dies. New laboratories equipped with
the best of scientific Instruments; a
complete telegraphic reporting sys-
tenn from all weather stations under
the jurisdiction of the Bureau, upper
air exploration by means Of kites and
balloons; a special study Of air cur
rents; and a half dozen other lines of
endeavor are all contributing to make
weather representation a more eN-
act science than 1t has ever been in
the past.
This country is far ahead OF every
other one in its weather reporting
system just as It is now taking tho
lead In extending its forecast service
to ocean voyagers as well as to dwell
lers on land, Upward of two million
dollars a year Is being expended ia
this work and the prediction which
now goes out each day to the mon
who go down to the sea in ships is for
mulated after the experts have pom
dered over the reports that have come
in from fully $500 laad stations and
more than half that number Of ocean
vessels, Close observation has proven
