4 Mabel ’ Visits Weather Man to See How /Us Done Mistakes ‘Hick* for Thermometer , hut Is Repulsed, So Hikes to Bureau Office .

By MABEL WHEELER. “How hot is it?’ I queried of a news hound leashed near me, the other morning. “I’m not that kind of a guy,” he barked back peevishly. “Ask the boss, he can tell you.’’ “I’m not asking you what it’s hotter than,” I responded indignantly. “What I am trying to find out is the temperature; whether It's Tally as hot as I feel or whether the heat's been turnel on in ' the building.” “Well, do I look like a thermometer?’’ he yapped irately. “Why pick on me? Ask the weather man.” "In answer to your dual question, Id say that you've chirped a chinful,’’ said j I. “To tiie weather man I'm going and you do resemble a thermometer in your general appearance, which together with your habit of going straight up when heated, is the answer to your conun drum. ‘Why am I like a thermometer?’ To be frank with you I was also golug to ask whether you thought we were going to have cold weather in August, as 1 am trying to decide whether to buy an electric fan or a fur scurf. You’re right, I shall visit the weather man at once, thanks for the tip,”.,and wTh that I beat it for the weather market. As I strolled leisurely up the street I mentally pictured the weather man sitting in his glass tower on the top of the Lemcke Annex, one eye glued to the telescope and the other on the thermometer, wondered whether he would be harnessed up like a wireless operator and as to whether I would be allowed to as cetid into his sacred pinnacle of weatherdota. No doubt be also talked through a long distance ’phone to Washington telling his observations. I could fancy him saying: "One cloud In sight, white In color, about the size of one 2-cent postage stamp. It is many miles from the sun. Thermometer 09 degrees and going up. Sun seems to be larger and nearer the earth than yesterday, etc.’’ WEATHER MANSITS AT DESK. After scanning the directory of the building I found the weather headquarters and asked to see his weathershlp, J. 11. Armtngton, and, to my astonishment, be sat placidly in a regular office In an ordinary looking swivel chair facing a desk, no harness, no glass tower, no telescope, not even a thermometer at hand. “Why, where’s your glass tower,” said I confusedly, “and all your Instruments?” He smiled understanding!}’. He has a very delightful sinlle, too. • “It la a shock, isn’t it” he answered “to come seeking a glass cased weather prophet and find nothing hut a mere man in a conventional office. To tell the truth science has shorn the weather man of a lot of his romance; the tele graph and modern invention are the weather man’s telescope and glass tower at present. I’m sorry, I can’t show you something startling but I haven't anything more thrilling than decidedly practical looking instruments, series of weather maps, and loads of uninteresting data, together with tho daily reports which are brought to us by means of the telegraph Instead of by a far sighted observer.” Weather reports sounded prosaic to me, but with a brave bluff at enthusiastic

Interest I suggested that no doubt weather reports were exciting, and that I would enjoy perusing them. MESSAGES MEAN NOTHING TO MABEL. He handed me out the daily reports from the various 200 stations over the country and Indianapolis headed the list reporting the forecast as “Tarred Bureau Bank,” followed by a flock of startling looking messages from various cities such as Springfield, saying “tiresome daredevil evict cessment," and one city announcing the “onion magnet informal” (no doubt an onion magnet would be strong for informality). There was no doubt a lot of Interesting information in the messages, but what they all had to do with the weather, I couldn’t grasp. “Pardon me, Mr. Weatherman, but I believe you have given me the wrong papers; these sound like newspaper headlines instead of weather," I ventured. “Oh, that's a code method of reporting,” he responded kindly. "You see, 'he reports from so many stations would take hours of time to get in if they were telegraphed in plain English so in order to shorten them up we have had to revert to a code. The Indianapolis, 'Tarred Bureau Bank’ really reads Sea level pressure, 29.92—temperature at 7 o’clock, 74 degrees—wind blowing from north, sky clear, lowest temperature during night 74 degrees, wind twelve miles an hour, no rainfall during last twelve hours. You can readily see how it is cut down by the code. “At 7 o'clock each morning the telegraph company sends over an operator who takes the messages in about threequarters of an hour. All stations make their tests at 7 ft. m. and 7 p. in. and they are immediately transmitted to the other station. The local forecaster takes his survey each night and morning on the roof. We do have a watch tower, you sea. We are several stories below the roof, however, where the cage la located.” I observed that It seemed like a lot of trouble to have to go "elevating’’ up to the roo-f every few minutes to find out what was going on during the day. But the weather man, who by the way should be referred to as meteorologist, which means a combination of scientific training and weather Instinct, explained further that they didn't have to go to the roof at al! during the day as the various instruments caged up there were

connected with office Instruments, recording the changes right at hand. If one wants to know how rapidly the wind is blowing just take a squint at the meteorograph and at the same time ascertain how much sunshine there has been during the day and all about the humidity. Tiny pens draw the records on paper wound on cylindrical rolls resulting In a series of lines, Jogs and waverings that plainly indicate the variations in the weather, to the meteorological eye. A dainty little thermograph automatic scribe, records the temperature on clock time. VISITS CAGE ON THE ROOF. After viewing the office equipment I expressed a desire to see the cage on the roof, and I was personally conducted by Mr. Arm ington to the roof, where I peered into the rain gage which is nothing more or less than a tipping bucket and the snow gage which looked exceedingly dry, and sighting through a small iron ring, watched on a highly polished black surface, the fleecy clouds float aimlessly by. And then I climbed up to take a look into the much mentioned cage where the thermometers, barometers and various other instruments were concealed. The cage is rather a weather-beaten little house made of shutters, not big enough to hold a weather observer, merely large enough to accomodate the equipment It Is arranged so that the air enn circulate freely through it from all sides and yet shaded so that no direct sunlight can strike the instruments. “However you know if those thermometers were hung out in the hot sun, (you note they have no wooden or metal ’ backing), they would register only a degree or two warmer than they do now. The air Itself Is just the same temperature but It Is the reflected heat that makes you or me hotter In the sun or raises the mercury clear to the top notch on our home thermometers,” said Mr. Armington as we gazed at the records In the cage. Whether it was reflected heat or just

the regular hot atmosphere I could feel the back of my neck sunbnrnlDg so I suggested that we might adjourn to the electric fan below and view the weather chart maps, photographs ’n everything, which we did. I learned that the weather bureau does a number of important things beside the “brlte and fair” reports. It issues a bulletin of climatological data each month that can tell you all about past weather conditions In any section or crossroads of Indiana, and there is a shippers' forecast prepared by the bureau during the winter season. They even aid the motorist to some extent with road hints, whether there has been a lot of rain in Kansas or a heavy snowfall in North Dakota, and give no end of help to the farmer in regard to his crops. Haiing ascertained that there was cool weather In sight, that I had made a mistake in not vacationing In the early part of the season, and that It has been os hot as one felt, and that humidity is a handy thing to have around in extreme hot weather, I took my departure, mind fully made up In favor of the fur scarf.

‘Youthful’ Battlers Stopped by ‘Kid’ Chief MEDFORD, Ore., July 23.—The referee's decision settled the fight between John Antle, 70, and James Bowling, 72, hale and hearty citizens, but failed to declare a winner, and witnesses are still debating the prowess of their favorite. The “boys” got into an altercation ovel a city lot. Words seemed useless, so they “peeled” their coats. “Kid" Antis jabbed with a left, but missed. "Young’ l Bowling countered with a right cross, The elusive “Kid” ducked and no damage was done. About this time Georgs Timothy, 75-ycar-old chief of police, ended the fight by deciding that both should be arrested. In the police couit the bat--tiers were lined $lO each.
