i lie fourth annual meeting of the
Woman's .Missionary Council was held
in Forth Worth, Texas, April if,—18.
ilie president, .Miss Belle Bennett,
presided, and a large gathering of
oiiicers. returned missionaries, and
\ isitors were present. Miss Tochie
Kaiikin our pioneer missionary, who
went out in 1879, and has served in
China for do years, received a warm
welcome. Reports from all depart¬
ments showed a healthy groth along
all lines. The Foreign Departments
now suports 124 missionaries, and 324
native helpers, and have 125,329 mem¬
bers of auxiliaries, and raised in 1913,
a total of $282,(>84.75. “Go ye into all
the world,” is still our marching order,
ami we hope to do even better things
in 1914. In the Home Departmlent,
Mis. McDonald reported a gain of 1000
auxiliaries and 28,000 new members.
The collection for this department
for the year was $154,810.53, a gain of
$15,000 over the previous year. God
hath wrought through the Home and
Foreign Department great things,
whereof we are glad, but we must not

SOLVING THE WINP
One Big Problem That Bothers
the Weather Forecasters.
CURRENTS THEY CANT STUDY
Atmospheric Conditions Away Above
the Earth Are Beyond Their Reach
and Are Consequently Unknown Fac¬
tors—Methods of the Ancients.
Tbe art 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 he is really more
successful in it than they were. The
meteorological department boasted
some time back that tie. ir forecasts of
weather as published in tin* daily press
were justified ky 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 Seechi's meteorograph, together
with telegraphic reports from wvnthei
stations dispersed nearly all over tin
surface of the 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 tin 1 modern method of forecast¬
ing the weather differs entirely from
that practiced by the ancients. With
then) if was simply a question of time
and season, or. what is the same tiling,
of the appearance or disappearance < t
certain stars.
When Hesiod's husbandman saw the
Pleiades lie knew it was time for him
to begin his harvest, and when tile)
set forty days later, ids plowing. Tbit
might still be a good enough rule for
countries near flu* equator, where tbe
prevalence of trade winds, which blow
uninterruptedly in the dire, tion in
which the sun appears to travel
and where the monsoons, which in the
countries east of Suez blow f< r six
months the other way. help to keep the
weather, if not constant, yet regular.
In other latitudes, howeier, there is
r,o such help, and In* v, ho would pre¬
dict tin* weather must therefore con
tine himself to finding out what winds
are blowing in other parts of the
world and when they are likely to
reach him.
As to this, modern science stili de
pends mainly on the observations made
by Halley, who discovered m tile sev
enteenth century during a voyage in
the tropics bow the sun so warmed the
air at tin* equator that the Heated air
rising after its manner, dispersed itself
t 0 wan! the poles and was replaced b>
a rush oi tool air from tbe regions
farther from the sun.
This, wliii h 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
Hie rotation of the earth on its own
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¬
ways follow the sun's motion — i. e.. will
pass from N. through N. E-. and from
8 . ]■;. to s. < •iiitpiotdig the circ le by
passing from S. to N. through the
west, hut "ill very seldom move tin
reverse way.
Finally, there comes in what is
known as the law of Busy Ballot
which is that, in the northern head
sphere, if one -tauds with one's back
to tin* wind the line of lower pressure
Is-always on one's left band.
This enables us to understand what
is meant by the cyclonic and anti
cyclonic disturbances which are sc
frequently mentioned in the ofRcia'
forecasts as approaching us. general
ly 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
frary direction to the hands of a
watch and is called cyclonic from the
similar behavior of tile West Indian
hurricanes named cyclones. This is
because tlie lowest pressure to any
one standing with his back to the wind
is always on one's left band. If. how¬
ever. the pressure within the area in
question is higher than outside it. the
wind blows round it clockwise and !*
called anti-cyclonic.
One circumstance against nmden
methods of forecasting the weathei
correctly outweighs all those in tlicit
favor. The winds that can be ob
served are all those blowing close t'
tbe earth's surface. What is the ef
feet of the currents prevailing at even
t few miles above it, where, as avia
tors constantly declare there are even
“holes" and "pockets" in the atmos
phere? Until there is more infornia
tion on this, meteorology will not bt
an exact science.—Detroit Free Press
