B Moore has been at Use vi I head of tho United States wuuiiior wireau, ine greatest Institution of Its kind in the world. Undor IiIb direction tho work of supplying forecasts of tho weather has expanded until It now omploys 200 men in different Darts United States, who send day to tho national cap principal facts about the voloclty of tho wind, temper aiurc, rainfall, barometric readings nnu other details, at a coat of l,r00, uuu a yoar. In an Interview with James u. Morrow, published in the Now York Trlbuno, Professor Moore, after deprecating popular superstitions concerning weather forecasts by such moans as tho gooso bone, the thick ness of husks on corn and the singing of cotydlds, tolls of his work. Tho In terview in part follows: "Do sailors and ship ownors on your forecasts?" "Absolutely, on tho Great Lakes: also on tho rivers and very generally along tho oceans by mariners engaged rely WlLUfl L. MOORE. In coastwiso business. The captains of ships on tho northern lakes depend on us to a larger degree than do other sailors, because wo can more accurate ly predict, tho velocity of tho wind than we can foretell a storm of rain, which occasionally changes its path and goes somewhere else. Remember, that where tho pressure of tho air is greatest upon tho earth it will flow to where tho pressuro is tho least pre cisely llko water going down stream. Our Instruments of measurement are so perfect that wo can flguro out the velocity of tho wind at certain places sovoral hours In advance knowing the high pressuro in one region and the low pressure elsewhere Wo forotell wind storms on tho lakes, while along tho Atlantic Coast wo give warnings about West Indian hurricanes. "On two occasions, after warnings of severo stonms had been given, our men saw all tho customs officers on tho seaboard, from Maine to Florida, Wo found that ships valued at G6,000,000, taking no account of tho cargoes, had remained In the various porta until tho storms wero over. Authorities outside of tho bureau havo estimated to that a West Indian hurricane which by iha way, is tho most dangerous goa eral storm wo ever havo sweeping the Atlantic Coast without warning would destroy property to tho value of from $3,000,000 to C.000,000. I send ten men to different points In the West In dies oach .ear Just boforo tho hurrl cano season opens, whero they remal until all danger is over. They report to us daily by telegraph, At tho end of the season they nail up their sta tlons and como homo. "While wo aro on tho subject," Pro fessor Moore continued, "I would like to say, In ordor to clear up tho confu slon of tho public mind which leads to an absurd mixing of terms, that a cy clono has an area of 1,000 miles, hurricane an area from 100 to 300 miles and a tornado, which invariably occurs in tho southeast quarter of cyclone nnd Is an incident of tho cy clone, an area of from 1,000 feet 1,000 yards. Tho velocity of tho wind during a cyclone Is from fifteen twenty-flvo miles an hour, during hurricane It varies from nfty to 100 miles an hour, while It 1b so great during a tornado that no In strumcnt can mcasuro It. In all three kinds of storms tho wind, of course, la rotary, or twisting, as it Is com tnonly described. "But th weather bureau," Professor Mooro went on to say, "Is not alone of value to people in the matter of wind storms, but is of tremendous service in foretelling periods of flood. Twice we forecast tho height of the Mississippi River at New OrleanB beating th flood flvo days in ono lnstanco and a week In the other. On both occasions our mathematics covered a tremendous area of the United States." "Is your bureau of any practical ser vice to farmers7" "By means of the system of rural free delivery of mail our forecasts go each day Into the homes of 1,000,000 fArmcrs. Ab many more farmers get our forecasts by telephone. As a mat ter of fact, thousands of farmers put telephones Into their homes for no other reason than to bo Informed about tho weather our forecasts, you un derstand, being for the day on which Ihey aro made and practically for the day following. Wo have been of great sprvlce to tho cranberry growers of Wisconsin, tho cane growers of Louis iana and tho orange growers of Florl da In giving warnings against frost. Cranberry marshes aro flooded, cane is quickly cut and piled In windrows and smudges aro started in orange groves as effective meusurcs of pro tcction. Let me add," Professor Moore went on to say, "that the train dls patchcrs of nil the railroads In the country get our morning and evening forecasts, and thus aro enabled to know about tho coming cold waves In winter and each year to save millions of dollars' worth of perishable mer chandise such as fruits, vegetables, certain kinds of chemicals and other manufactures."

The average fat woman would rath er have you call her a murderess than to say that sho waddles. "Monoy makes tho niaro go," but what member of tho mare's family goos out and gets tho monoy? Tho woman who essays to hold her husband by a short-strapped halter needs first to bo pretty sure of her hal ter's material. Tho so-termed "Intuition" of women doesn't provont a lot of them from picking out moro four-flushing grand stand players as spouses. Why is it that some married women sniff contemptuously when thoy read about a man who has killed himself bocauao hla wlfo has refused to re turn to him? Ever notice how, after you've onco told a woman that sho haB a rosoato mouth, Bho keeps biting her lips and twiddling thwn with ner lingers an tho tlmo to keep 'era red? When a woman looks mad, when she hears that song, "I Love My Wlfo, but ni, vnn Kid!"

Orlsrln and HnU for Ilellef la 111 Luck lit Krlttuy. Tho bad luck supposed to attach to Friday Is said to bo traceable to the worship of tho goddess Freya, the ye ntiB of the north, who felt hersell slighted If anyone began a Journey or this, her festival. In punishment for tho dishonor thus brought upon her Freya was -wont to direct misfortune to assail tho offender, so that it came to bo thought that Friday was an un lucky tlmo to embark on any enter prise, although most marriages 1l Scotland are said to take place on that day. In Walsh's "Curiosities of Pop ular Customs," Is told the story of the brig, Friday, of Wilmington, whose builder defied superstition by giving her this whimsical name and launch Ing her on Friday. Ho also sont her upon her first voyage upon tho sixth day of tho week, but on tho succeed ing Friday a homo-bound vessel "saw tho hull of tho brig pitching heavily In tho trough of tho sea, while her crow ran about tho deck, cutting loose tho wreck of tho masts that dragged and bumped alongside" This tvas the laBt of tho "Friday," concerning whose fate the shipbuilder's wife merely eald when sho heard of It: "I told thee so, Isaac. This Is all thy sixth-day doings. Now Uieo sees tho conse quences.' Another reason for tho aupposed unlucklness of Friday lies In the cru cifixion of Jesus on that day. It la from a similar historical Bource, in dood, that tho "thlrteon" superstition 1b believed to havo Bprung; a natural distaste grew up for tho number rep resenting tho circle of tha disciples with tho addition of Judaa. Yet It Booms as It by thla time tho world might bo willing to forget Its ancient superstitions and regard overy day and every number with equal respoct, Provldonco Journal.

Perhaps ono could not -describe East Landover hotter than by saying that It la a vlllago where people still wear checked apron's In the morning, white In tho afternoon, and black silk when the minister and hla wlfo come to tea To thoso who know, the ceremonial of tho aprons connotes many things lone leisurely afternoons, sowlng-cl cles whore people still sow by hand also an interest in ohe'fl neighbors, and thorough and exhaustive knowl edge of their characters and motives utterly unknown to unfortunate dwell ers in cities. It was at a tea at Miss Serena Pot ter's that an interested guest heard bit of character analysis that gave her food for much thought. "Marietta Barber's back from Port land." Mlsa Mattle Reed announced "I saw her yesterday. She's wearing 1nvAH down to her knuckles. She iivb avervbodv doea down In Port land." "Marietta Barber alius did havo knack for seeing tho newest thing be fore anybody else," another lady re-, marked, thoushtfully. "It ain't the going to Portland; Bhe'd have sensed out thoso sleeves If she hadn't stepped off her own porch." "Sho certainly has what you might call an open mind," a third remarked with a ripple of amusement In her yes. It was then that' Miss Serena Potter lifted up her voice. People always lis tencd when Miss Serena spoke. "Well, yes," she agreed, "Marietta Barber has got an open mind that Just describes It open twenty-fou hours in the day; on Sundays, too Sometimes I wnnder if the doors nln' been took off It entirely and mislaid Seems If 'twould bo kind of a relief to have It closed once In a spell. Bf you leave your cellar door open day and night, things are bound to get I dogs or cats or chickens that? don' belong there, and won't Improve the things that do belong there; and It seems to mo it ain't so very different with folks minds. As far as I can learn, It ain't till you get to the New Jerusalem and that's quite a Journey for most of us that it's safe to leave doors open all the time." There occurred to the listener sentence from a certain pleasant es sayist: "Tho would-be reformer should be willing to disabuse himself of prejudices and cultivate what Is known as an 'open mind;' not so open either, as to Interfere with Its capa bility for being violently closed as often as occasion demand." Miss Serena seemed to have the root of the matter. Youth's Companion. LOOKING FOR A SMUGGLER. Cuntom oniclnla Chunked. Tactics After K ending- a Telegram. The gentle American smuggler Is putting up one fortissimo roar Just now because Collector Loeb Is Interfer ing with his pastime. Half the news papers In town have their editorial pages filled with hollers from people who have been stopped and searched on the docks on their return from Eu ropo, the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star says. Un pleasant, certainly, but Mr. Loeb's po sition would seem to be supported by the fact that he has practicaly doubled the receipt of customs duties since he took charge hare.
