arrival OF some storms can be fore
told ten days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the re-
gion of low barometer, which is the
storm center around which the winds
blow. This whirl or eddy moves bod
lily forward with the general eastward
drift of about $50 miles a day in our
latitudes. AS the lines of equal pres
sure Csobars) around the low center
! crowd closer together, the winds at
tending the storm increase in force.
The forecaster determines the direc-
tion of movement of the storm and its
velocity.
When weather disturbances are re-
ported, the forecasters know from ex-
perience about how long it takes them
to reach our Pacific coast and then
how long after they will reach the
Atlantic coast. For example, If a
storm coming from Siberia drifts east
ward around the North pole and re-
appears in Alaska, it should appear in
Washington and Oregon in about two
days; should get to the great lakes in
six days and to the Atlantic coast in
seven or eight days
Unexpected conditions may delay
storms or divert them from the
straight track just as a refrigerator
car may be thrown off its 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 re-
ports. England sends reports from
Iceland, the British islands and CONT.
mental Europe, and daily reports come
from st, Petersburg on the conditions
in Russia and Siberia.

staekhouse Expedition VIII Have AV.
iator Explore King Edward VII
Land-Leader VIII Make No
Attempt TO Reach Pole.

London, England.-The steamer Dis
used in his first antarctic voyage. has
been chartered by the British antarc-
tic expedition which is TO be com
manded by j. Foster Stackhouse,
and will leave London about the first
of August for the far South. Mr..
Stackhouse, whose exploratory work
heretofore has been confined to Ice
land, will make no attempt to reach
the pole. His main purpose will be to
determine the coast line of King Ed
ward VII land on one side of the
Antarctic circle, and Graham's land
on the other
Between these two sections OF dis
covered land stretches a vast and
practically unexplored region. The
expedition will attempt to determine
whether this intervening space is land
or sea, whether King Edward VII land
is part of the great Antarctic conti-
nent or merely set in the frozen sea.
The existence of Graham's land,
Goats land, Enderby land and Kemp
land on the Atlantic border of the
great ice barrier, as well as the dis
covery of land South by Lieut.. Fitch
ner OF the German expedition in 1911,
support the continental theory. On
the other hand the great area of pack
ice massed on the North and West
coasts Of King Edward VII land points,
Mr.. Stackhouse suggests, to the drift
of ice northward from the Weddell
sea to the Ross sea, presumably
through a strait separating King Ed
ward VII land from Grahams land.
This is the most southerly of Brit
tsh possessions, for the whole region
between meridian 20 degrees west
and meridian 80 degrees west is
claimed for the British crown. The
information which the expedition will
obtain as to harbors, whaling stations
and sealing grounds will be of great
service to the whaling industry of the
Falkland islands.
In the crew of the Discovery there
will be rs men and in addition there
will be five scientists, several Of the
ships officers also undertaking scien.
tific observations. They will have au
aeroplane for Photographic survey
work and this, too, will be useful in
enabling the leader to choose the best
route when he wishes to advance.
Most of the navigating and scientific
staff already has been chosen. Lieut.
A. E. Harbord of the royal navy, who
was navigating officer on the Nimrod
in the Shackleton expedition, will COM
mand the Discovery.
The expedition will be away for
three or four years.

PASSED TEN WINTERS IN BED
Health Was Normal, But Aged Woman
Feared That She Would
Catch Cold.

Boulder, Col.-Mrs. Ida Croft, ma
tive of Germany and a resident of
Colorado for 20 years, died at her
home here of old age. She was eighty
nine. For the last ten years she had
spent the winters in bed, although in
good health, considering her age. She
was afraid of catching cold.
Each fall when 1t began to get cold
she would go to bed and remain until
spring. Recently her strength had
been failing.
When Mrs. Croft went to bed last
October her sister, Mrs. Augusta Car
row, with whom she lived, realized
that Mrs. Croft would not live until
spring.

in tracing the track OF a 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 foods are COW
cred by telegraphic reports sent by
local observers. AS this rain reached
the main channel, the height of the
water in the channel is determined by
successive gauging stations. Past
records establish how much height
say of 20 feet at Dubuque, Iowa, VIII
produce at Davenport, another station
so miles down the Mississippi. This
plan is followed all the way down the
river, and at each point full allow
ance 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,

To carry on this work OF forecast

Briefly, forecasting of the modern
school is resolved into watching the
course of great disturbances and cal
culating their probable movements
and the time it will take them TO
cover given distances. But then
there is a good deal Of the forecast
er's work more subtle than this. For
instance, it recently has been discoy'
cred that there is a remarkable inter.
play between atmospheric phenomena
In widely separated regions. The
state of the barometer in Siberia in
winter is found to be related in an
intimate way to the existence and
progress of storms in the United
States at the same time. And now
the modern forecasters are reaching
out into other continents for their
storm warnings and prognostications
