Spending morej titan a million and a half dol-j lnrs a year to be weatherwlse, Uncle Sam, is learning many seo-eis of the atmos-! phere titat have never been know n before. | The Mount Weather station of the weather bureau, situated in the Blue Rid.tr mountains of Virginia, lias been equiyped j with every sort of instrument human in- j genuity can devise to pull down the se-j j crets of the upper air. The weather bureau gets report j from more than :i,500 land stations, U.otkt ocean | vessels and some 30 foreign stations, j The information which comes to the weather bureau from all these places enables the forecaster to venture a pre diction about what the weather will be for the next thirty-six to forty-eight ; hours, and in a general way for a week t in advance. ft is said that more than so per cent of the winds, rains and storms follow beaten paths, behaving upon established prtnei[ pies, and doing just as the weather man i expects them to do. Sometimes, however, 1 a storm will refuse to follow the lieaten ; paths and it is then that the weather man fails. The average man remembers the . one. failure, which is a miss, rather than \ the five In which the weather man correctly predicts the weather. The weather , forecasts are based upon simultaneous observations of local weather conditions taken dally at 8 o'clock In the morning a ?a o -? 1- *? * ? - aim ai 9 u ciuck in me evening, eastern i time, at about 200 regular observing sta- ; ' tions throughout the United States and I? the. West Indies, and from the reports I received daily from various other places' 11 in the western hemisphere. The results i ? of these observations are telegraphed to) the weather bureau at Washington, where they are charted for study and interprc- . tatlon by experts. j1' A complete telegraphic report iricludes 1,1 j data describing t he temperature, atmospiieric. pressure, precipitatiori, direction of the wind, state of the weather, wind velocity, the kind and amount of clouds J"1" I and the direction of their movements. "V Prom these data the forecaster, by com-1 parison with preceding reports, is able * to trace the path of the storm area from ; the time of their appearance to the mo- j ment of observation, and approximately! T to determine and forecast their sutose-i quent courses and the occurrence of o'iierj weather conditions. Forecast centers are . * also established at Chicago, New Orleans, ' ( Denver, San Francisco and Portland. Ore. SJ Within two hours after the morning ^ observations' have been taken the fore-! casts are telegraphed from the forecast! stations to more than 2.300 principal dis-jr) tributing points where they are further' disseminated by mail, telegraph and tele-] 'C( phone. The forecasts are mailed to' 6< 135,000 addresses a day and delivered to u, nearly 4,000,000 telephone suscribers with- jj, in an hour from the time the prediction 5 is made. r< In addition to this service there is w what is kntwn as the cllmatological 5, service, which collects data with refer- e( ence to temperature and rainfall and ic crop season conditions. During the 01 winter months a publication known as w the Snow and Ice Bulletin is issued, ti showing the area covered toy the snow, u the ?e.pth of the snow, the thickness of V ice in rivers and other matters reported ti upon from every section of the country, p This putollcation is of speaial interest to fi 1 ihmo interested in the winter wheat n crop, to ice dealers, to the manufacturers! U of rubber goods and other articles the' w sale of which is largely aflfecteu by the h presence or absence of snow and ice. it The extent to which the work of the a weather bureau afreets the daily life of the people is very great, and is said to w be increasing yearly. Perhaps the most w directly valuable service rendered is that di of the warnings of storms and hurricanes hi i issued for the benefit of marine interests, a: These warnings are displayed at nearly a< 300 points along the Atlantic. Pacific M and gulf coasts and the shores of the tl great lakes, including every port and a harbor of any considerable importance.

HYATTSVIL.L.E, October 14.?Jumping bl I over the dashboard of a motor truck in ? motion, which speeded up Just as he ^ landed aboard, Charles Henry Souder, a sexagenarian farmer, "lost his talance, fell under the machine, which ran over him, causing injuries from which he died. The strange tragedy happened in front of the Ram's Horn Inn on the Queen's Chapel road, about a mile west of Hyattsville. shortly after noon today. Three ribs were fractured and the collar bone was broken. An internal hemorrhage, cafised by the puncture of his lungs by one of the broken ribs, brought . death quickly. ' - Mr. Souder. aged sixty-four years, was a prominent trucker, residing near Chillum. Prince Georges county. b< A motor truck of the Bulck Water Company of Washington, driven by Charles Miller, was at the roadhouse to repair an automobile which had become disabled the night before. Mr. Souder was a friend of Mr. Miller. As the truck was leaving the inn J Mr. Souder jumped into the machine over the dashboard with the purpose of riding to his brother's home* near I Chillum. As he leaped the machine 1 started up. Mr. Souder lost his ball ance and fell out. The heavy rear . wheels of the machine passed over his body. e) Dr. Guy W. Latimer of Hyattsville | was summoned. Mr. Souder was dead before he arrived. C Inquest Deemed Unnecessary. Justice of the Peace John Gibson, act- P1 ing coroner of Hyattsville, went to the scene and after examining several wit- m .tesses concluded that an inquest was un- ! necessary. Mr. Souder's body was removed to the home of his brother. Lewis F. Souder, near Chlilum, where the funeral will take u place probably Monday. Interment will " bo In Rock Creek cemetery". Mr. Souder lived about three-quarters 81 of an hour after being run over, but did not regain consciousness. He was well s* known in the upper section of Prince Georges county, being an active worker 8< , in the democratic party. He was un- p j married. r j No possible blame attaches to Mr. Mil- H ler for the unfortunate accident, in the opinion of eye .vitnesses. FIRST AID SAVES LITE.
