SCLK.IG THE WIND
One Si-. Problem That Bothers
tS.e Weather Forecasters.
CURTEPiTS THEY CAN’T STUDY
Atmospheric Conditions Away Abovo
the Earth Are Beyond Their Reach
and Are Consequently Unknown Fac¬
tors —f.lethot. s of the Ancients.
The ari of predicting the weather is
one In which it seems at first sight the
modern scientist ought easily to sur¬
pass his ancestors. Yet it may be
doubted whether lie is really more
successful iu it than they were. The
meteorological department boasted
some time hack that their forecasts of
weather as published in the daily press
were justified by the result in 52 per
cent of the cases recorded. As the per¬
centage of correct guesses in a suffi¬
ciently extended list, however, would
exactly equal the incorrect, this does
not show a very great superiority for
scientific methods over pure conjec¬
ture.
Yet the meteorological department
enjoys the advantage, as our ances¬
tors. of course, did not. of elaborate
and accurate recording instruments,
like Secchi’s meteorograph, together
with telegraphic reports from weather
stations dispersed nearly all over the
surface of Hie globe. Its relative non¬
success shows perhaps that there Is
still a factor in the problem which it is
at present impossible to estimate.
This is the more extraordinary be
cause the modern method of forecast¬
ing th weather differs entirely from
that practiced by the ancients. With
th. ai it was simply a question of time
and season, or. what is the same tiling,
of the appearance or disappearance ot
certain stars.
When Hesiod's husbandman saw the
Pleiades he knew it was time for him
to begin his hnrvest. and when the>
set forty days later, his plowing. This
inigl’1 still he u good enough rule for
countries near the equator, where the
prevalence of trade Winds, wt ich blow

w< a t con t.im. yet regular.
in << si nies. however, there is
re such help, and he who would pre¬
dict tiro weather must therefore con
tim himself to finding out what winds
arc bio, iug in other parts of the
wo d amt when they are likely to
reach him.
\s to taw, modern science still de
pends mainly on the observations made
by Galley, who discovered in the sev¬
enteenth century during a voyage in
the trollies how the sun so warmed the
air at the equator that the heated air.
rising after its manner, dispersed itself
toward the poles and was replaced bj
a rush of cold air from the regions
farther from the sun.
This, which explains the phenomenon
of trade winds, was really the founda
tion of modern meteorology, although
It was reserved for Halley, some fifty
years later, to point out that, thanks to
the rotation of the earth on its owu
axis, both kinds of winds stray some¬
what from their apparent objective.
Later Dove's "law of rotation” was
discovered, which declares that in cer¬
tain latitudes the wind will nearly al
wavs follow the sun’s motion--i. e.. will
pass from N. through X. E.. and from
.S K. to s., completing the circle by
passing from S. to N. through the
west, but v ill very seldom move the
reverse way.
Finally, there comes in what is
known as the law of Busy Ballot
which is that, in the northern he mi
sphere, it one stands with one's hack
to the wind the fine of lower pressure
is always m one's left hand.
This enables us to understand what
is meant b.v tbe cyclonic and anti
cyclonic disturbances which are sc
frequently mentioned in the official
forecasts as approaching us. general
!y from tbe Atlantic.
If within any particular spot the
pressure is lower than it is outside it
the wind blows round it in the con
trary direction to the hands of a
watch and is called cyclonic from the
similar behavior of the West Indian
hurricanes named cyclones. This is
because the lowest pressure to any
one standing with bis back to the wind
is always on one’s left hand. If, how¬
ever. the pressure within the area in
question is higher than outside it. the
wind blows round it clockwise and h*
called anti-cyclonic.
One circumstance against rnoderi
methods <>f forecasting the weathet
correctly outweighs all those in theii
favor. The winds that can be oh
served are all those blowing close t r
the earth's surface. What is the ef

The bored youth turned to his dinnet

PACE NINE
This season’s men’s
and young men’s clothes are made on
„ s
“natural” lines; not much if any padding;
narrow shoulders; very soft draping of
all the garments; and coats with soft front.
Hart Schaffner & Marx
have perfected this style of garment;
they know how to make a soft front
that “stays put”; doesn’t get “flabby’’
in a few weeks’ wear.
You’ll see the difference as the season ad¬
vances; better see it on the other fellow;
not on yourself.
Suits at $25 and up are most
economy. We have others as z
low as $18.
