How The Weather Bureau Fore
casts Storms. Frosts and
Floods.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 21.—
Many people have an idea that
there is something mysterious
and occult about the work of the
Weather Bureau in forecasting'
the coming of storms, frosts and '
floods. Not a few think that the
observers must necessarily get j
their data by reading the plan
ets, the stars and the moon. As
a matter of fact the forecaster
of the Bureau foretells the
coming of disturbances in a
businesslike way, very similar
to that in which a man who has
ordered a shipment of goods
would estimate the date of its
arrival.
Suppose a business man had
ordered a carload of pineapples
from the Hawaiian Islands. He
would know the average time
that it would take the steamer to
make the trip to the Pacific
port, the average time for un
loading and loading into refrig
erator cars, and the average
number of days to be allowed
these cars for their trip across
the continent to New York. His
estimate, however, would be sub
ject to error because the steam
ship might be delayed by fog,
or the cars might meet with an
accident.
Storms, like pineapples, as a
rule do not originate in the
United States. They come to us,
some from the Philippines, Ja
pan, Siberia, Alaska, Canada or
the Gulf of Mexico. The Weath
TV _ _ _ _ _.i. ^ /viitn rvVi
tJI DUICclU gcio caou.,
ic or wireless notice of a for
eign storm. Station after sta
tion, or vessel after vessel re-j
ports the storm’s arrival in its
neighborhood, so that the gen
eral direction and rate of pi-og
ress can be determined very
early. In fact, the arrival of
some storms can be foretold 10
days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the
region of low barometer which is
the storm center around which
the winds blow. This whirl or
eddy moves bodily forward with
the general eastward drift about
650 miles a day in our latitudes.
As the lines of equal pressure
(isobars) around the low center
crowd closer together, the winds
attending the storm increase in
force. The forecaster deter
mines the direction of movement
of the storm and its velocity.
When weather disturbances
are reported, the forecasters
know from experience about
how long it takes them to reach
our Pacific coast, and then how
long after they will reach the At
lantic coast. For example, if a
storm coming from Siberia
drifts eastward around the
North Pole and re-appears in
Alaska, it should appear in
•Washington and Oregon in a
bout two days; should get to the
Great Lakes in six days and to
the Atlantic coast in seven or
dgllll UHrJW
Unexpected conditions may de
lay storms or divert them from
the straight track just as re
frigerator cars may be thrown
off their schedule or be shipped
by accident on a wrong road.
Some of these storms deplete
themselves by running into re
gions of high barometer which
are of greater magnitude and ex
tent than the storm itself. Some
of them, however, travel com
pletely around the world.
To keep tab on cold waves that
come into the United States
from Canada and Alaska, the
Weather Bureau studies the
Canadian Weather reports. En
gland sends reports from ice
i land, the British Islands and
| Continental Europe, and daily
reports come from St. Peters
burg on the conditions in Rus
; sia and Siberia.
j The same businesslike system
in tracing the track of a storm
is applied in determining the
arrival of frosts.
Flood forecasts are made in
much the same way. Informa
tion as to the amount of rain
fall at the head waters of the 1
streams that cause floods are
covered by telegraphic reports
sent by local observers. As this
rain reaches the main channel,
the height of the water in the
channel is determined by suc
cessive gauging stations. Past
records establish how much a
height, say of 20 a Dubuque, •
Iowa, will produce at Davenport,'
another station 80 miles down
the Mississippi- This plan is
followed all the way down the:
river, and at each point full al-'
lowance is made for the effects j
of water from tributaries and
from additional and local rain
fall. As a result of these ob
servations in the recent flood,
the people of Cairo had warning
a week or ten days in advance.
The Pittsburgh district can be
given only 12 to 24 hours’ notice,
because a flood is upon them
within 24 hours after a heavy
rainstorm.

Little Rock, Jan. 2L—State
Bank Commissioner Davis has
returned from Hamburg, where
he took charge of the Ashley
County Bank, which closed its
doors last week. He left State
Bank Examiner A. J. Read there
to make an examination of the
institution, and appointed Frank
Pugh, cashier of the Farmers
and Merchants Bank of Ham
burg, as special deputy bank
commissioner to liquidate the af
fairs of the bank, and pay off the
depositors. The examiner will
file with the chancery clerk,
probably today, a statement of i
the assets of the bank.
The Ashley County Bank was
the oldest in the county, having
been established eighteen years
ago. J. H. Pryor, Sr., is presi
dent, and J. H Schaffer is cash
ier. The capital stock is $25,
000, with $10,000 surplus.
An auction has been institut
ed in Pulaski chancery court by
a depositor of the Argenta bank
which failed last week, for the
appointment of a receiver. The
bank commissioner has already
taken possession under the new
law, placing a deputy bank com
missioner in charge, and the ac
tion of the depositor is for the
express purpose of testing the
validity of the statutory provis
ion by which the state bank com
| missioner has proceeded to wind
up the affairs of the bank.
