vice extended yearly until the United States bureau came to rank first a ,ong such services in the world, and Prof. Abbe himself came to be known as one of the worlds foremost meteor ologists. It was largely due to his 1n- itiative that the several successive ad- vances in the service, such as ocean meteorology. the prediction of floods in rivers, the publication of the monthly weather review. the adoption of civil service examinations in meteorology, the introduction of uniform standard time, and innumerable other steps, were taken.
 Even when past 70 years of age. Prof. .Abbe continued in the govern- ment weather service to edit the Monthly Weather Review and make other contributions to meteorological science. He was the recipient of a gold medal from the Royal Meteor ological Society of England. member of the National Academy of Sciences and numerous foreign and American scientific bodies.

Prof. Ashe Founded
 U. s. Weather Bureau

The present day system of daily weather forecast, with which every portion of the United States. however remote, is now thoroughly familiar, is the outgrowth of a weather-prediction service which Cleveland Abbe estab- lished locally in Cincinnati, O., when he was the director of the observatory
 there, in 1S69 The death on Saturday
 at Washington of this famous meteor ologist recalls some interesting details
 of this early history of weather fore casts.
 The son of a New York merchant and born December 3, 1888, Cleveland
 Abber became an instructor in math-
 ematics and astronomy at the Univer-
 sity of Michigan in 1860. and during
 the Civil War period he was an aide
 at Cambridge. Mass. to Dr. B. A.
 States Coast Survey. The years 1S65-
 he spent in Russia at the Imperial Ob- servatory as guest of the resident staff of observers there, and on his return to the United States he was chosen director of the Cincinnati Observatory.
 Tn beginning his astronomical work at Cincinnati. in May. 1868, Prof. Abbe expressed to the Chamber of Oom- nerce of that city his willingness to make daily predictions of the weather
 for the benefit of the citizens. His proposition was accepted, and the
 work actually began in September, 1869, by the publication of daily bull letin of weather. telegrams and prob abilities.
 The success of his scheme led some of his friends to introduce a resolu- ton calling upon Congress to estab- fish a national bureau of storm warn ings for the benefit of commerce. This bureau was established by joint res- olution of February 4. 1870. and it's
 conduct was entrusted to General A. J. Myer. then chief signal officer of
 the army. He adopted into his weather
 bureau all the important features of Prof. Abbe's work at Cincinnati and, in January. 1871, invited him to come
 to Washington as his scientific assist | ant. f
 The regular tSildaily issue of "prob-
 abilities" began in February. 1871. and
 was kept up by Prof Abbe until oth-
 CTS could be trained for this service. These forecasts were published | throughout the country anonymously
 as official documents. and the cogno-
 men of "O1d Prob." which had been in
 vented in Cincinnati. was soon widely l applied to their author

LONG HILL HOME BURNS.

Long Hill, Oct. 30-The home of the late Fred L. Turney in Long Hill street, was destroyed by fire last night. A defective chimney Is believed to be the cause. Two families occupying the house had narrow, escapes and were able to save no furniture. They spent the rest of the night in a barn on the premises The house was burned to the ground as no fire de- partment exists in the vicinity and when the first was discovered it had gained full headway.
