THE WEATHER BUREAU.
Director Loveland Tells of tho Work
of Hia Dopartmont Tho De
velopment of Woathor ." ' ,
Forecasts. '
The laws that govorn the weather
rwas tho tfjemo of a convocation ad
dress by Director G. A. Lovcland of
tho weather bureau yesterday morn
ing. ,. ' Mr. Loveland spoke of the misap
prehension that exists generally con
. corning the work of the bureau. Ho
explained that tho laws that govern
tho weather are simple in their na
ture. They are simple mancfesta
tions of changes in atmospheric con
ditions. Tbo influence of the im
mense hgat and energy received from
tho sun, however, makes this a very
-' complex subject. -
A large nurabor of great men have
been meteorologists, ho said, Benja
min Franklin was cited as ono of tho
most noted of these. Ho began his me
teorolpgical studies by observing tho
courso of a rain storm trom Boston to
Philadelphia. , Ho found that tho
storm occurred at different times at
the two places. Others studied the
phenomonon the same way. The
groat ootsacle to the advancement of
the science in thosoolays was the lack
of rapid communication.
Tho invention of tbo eleotrltc ele-
o graph did away with the difficulty of
slow communication. Tho United
States has developed the best sys
tem of weather service. Observations
are taken ai points from Mexico pp
Canada. "These, said Mr. Lovoland,
are takon nb so nearly the name tlmo
that tbo observers might almost bo
said to be t keeping stop with each
other when they go to tako the read
logs. The ubsorvatlons nroall chart
ed on the sarnie map and the oxnot
atmospheric conditions of the whole
- country a7iciooa 2. - '"- "
The speaker showed that by this
means tho development of a storm In
the arid regions of tho west and its
progress westward can be watched.
Storms which tatto ,tbjlr origin in
tho Islands of tho Pacific" can bo
watched as they movo aoross the
ocean and over. tho. Bockies to the
cast. It takes three days for them to
sweTsp across tho continent. About
three dayB later the" storm will bo
heard from In Europe.
Mr. Loveland said ho would not go
into tho details of the office work
nor of the bureau. The.- office, ho
said, liad been placed on the campus,
