NCRTHERN AND SOUTHERN CIRCUITS —__+—_—_—_ Conclusions Derived From Ten Years’ Scientific Study. { PATHS OF CIRCULATION oe (Prepared for The Evening Star Weather Rureau.) Leginning with December, ahd in some years with the middle of November, the} very turbulent circulation of the highs and lows in the United States, that is char- acteristic of the winter season, is especially to be considered. This greater rapidity of movement and eccentricity of direction is primarily to be referred to the fact that the sun is in the southern hemisphere, so that the temperatures in the polar regions are greatly diminished, and the barometric pressures increased. Yhe tropics are, of course, at practically the same tempera- ture throughout the year, but in the north- ern winter the contrast in temperature be- tween the arctic and tropical belts is rela- tively great, and this gives an increase of power to the thermodynamic engine which the atmesphere of the earth really is at all times. The effort of the two regions of dif- ferent temperature is to restore the equi- librium that is disturbed by the solar radia- tion, and this is accomplished by the me- chanism of the high and low circulation. There is no portion of the world where this interchange of cold and warm air is so pronounced in latitude as the United States, and this needs a very clear ex- planation for a full comprehension of the meteorological problem. It will not be proper to attempt to take up this extensive subject in a few sentences, and it will be therefore passed over at this point. Xplanath of Winter Weather. The turbulent winter circulation is chief- ly brought into observation by the prom- inence that the southern circuit attains, in ecmparison with the northern. It will be remembered that the region near the east- ern crest of the Rocky mountains, in the reighborhood of Alberta and Montana, is fea in by two high pressure belts, one from the California coast and the other from the northwest British possessions. From this junction one main path of circulation pesses directly eastward over the lakes and the Saint Lawrence valley to Newfound- land, called the northern circuit, lying di- rectly under the axis of the great east- ward upper currents, which are most vig- orous in this latitude; the second mean path is along the mountain slope south- eastward to Texas, thence eastward over the gulf states to the Carolinas, and thence northeastward to the banks of Newfound- land. The two circuits are together like a much-bent bow with a string uniting the ends. The long southern circuit is a prod- uct of three operations: Ist, the continen- tal cooling of winter that favors the trans- pertation of highs from north to south be- fore they break up; 2d, the circulation that builds up the tropical high-pressure belt; Sd, the rapid eastward drift in subpolar | latitudes that tends to draw every high back into this powerful current. The first carries the cold waves and highs from Manitoba to Texas, the second conserves them in the gulf states, and the third draws them northward along the Atlantic coast to Newfoundland. Of course it is not | easy to separate these three interacting | processes very distinctly, but in winter it is not difficult to perceive thetr operations. Another principle of great importance in discussing winter circulations is the fact that the so-called high and low pressure belts are somewhat inaccurately described | in this manner. From mathematical an- alysis {t Is shown that the atmosphere cir- culates In such a way as to tend to accumu- late with high pressure on the outer edges of the tropics, near latitude 35 degrees north and south, and at the same time to make a su low pressure belt near the lat tude 55 degrees. But, as a matter of fact, continuous high and low pressure belts do not exist. In place of them there fs a suc- ce on of highs and lows passing over these the air tending to mass itself in rly circular areas, alternately cold and | arm,from which the observed wind circula- tion ts derived. In the order of natural cause | and effect the highs come first and the lows follow, and not in the posite sequence. Masses of cold air are built up in the high pressure belt by the effect of general at- mospherie motions, the air descending from by the U. 8. track ne the upper strata. Between two adjacent highs, and also all around the periphery of | a larg igh, the lows are formed by the ac- tien ¢ vitation, which throws the cur- rents into whirls. These have the effect of x the air back again into the upper where {t flows off in the general eas! ward drift. The highs are made up of air descending through at least flve miles of ta; the lows, on the other hand, are out two miles, where they are obliterated by the upper currents. tion that the hichs are fed chiefly by lows, or that the lows are the primary ree of the circulation, has fut little foundation, the attempt to make the storm ene do so much work having failed to find the necessary support in modern ob- servations. Having thus sketched the gen- eral features of the circulation in the United | States for the winter months, we may ex- amine in some detail the facts as given by ten years of the records of the weather bureau. Where Storms Form. ‘The number of storms originating near Alberta and Manitoba for the years 1884 to 1803, Inclusive, was forty-nine; entering the United States from the North Pacific coast, twenty-eight; forming on the northern Recky mountain slope, ten: near Colorado, fourteen; in 1 3, eight: eight; to the east of the in the culf Atlantic coz ates, t lin. six.

It is evident that these are being | tricts east of the Mississippi river; the | the month of December, and should prove found that another low covers the Gulf of s yrence, and that an extensive high area covers the central valleys and the gulf states. ‘The center of the high will probably move slowly eastward to the Car- Mipa coast, and thence work northeast- 4rd over the ovean. The Alberta low ad- ances in one of two paths, (1) to eastern kota in one day, to Lake Superior in wo days, to the middie St. Lawrence val-@ i 9 else (2) it will be de- to Iowa and M souri in t days, whence it will make ke Ontario in one day more. About one- third of the storm centers wil! be deflected into the sovthern course, and these are much more erratic in their action, and harder to forecast rhe North Pac over the fie type: These come in extreme northern coast, near ncouver, and separate about half and half into paths, of which the first is di- rectly eastward over the lakes, and the second far to the southeastward along the mountain slope, generally reaching north- ern Texas. In this case a high covers the central valleys and the Missouri» valley, the weight of it being near the northern boundary, whereas in the Alberta type it was heaviest in the gulf states. There will usually be found three lows in sight, ene over the North Pacific. one over the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the third ovei fed and sustained by the great high, all in the same way and independently or one another, though each is in intimate subor- dination to the high. The course of the Pacific low will be determine? py the movement of this high. If the high passes directly eastward in the northern circuit, the low will follow behind in the northern path; if, on the other hand, the high seeks the southern circuit, the low will follow behind in about the same relative po- sition, but the track: will now lie to the southeast cver the mountain slope and the gulf states. It is there- fore of primary importance to know, in making a thirty-six-hour forecast, which cireuit the high itself will take from the Dakotas. If it goes east, the low will move to North Dakota in one day, to Lake Huron in two and to the Gulf of St. Law- rence in three days;if the high moves south- eastward over the Ohio valley, the low will be found near Colorado in one day, in the lower Mississippi valley in two days, and in the St. Lawrence -valley on the third day; some storms of this type nae crossed the gulf states to South Car- olina, and have thence moved along the line to the northeast. The storms taking the southern track, it 1s seen, travel with great rapidity, making the long path in the ayerage time of about three days. : The Colorado type: This is a marked type of storm, forming in the neighborhood of the Colorado mountains. The disposi- tion of the highs is of a very different sort in this case from that of the preceding types. Now one strong high covers the South Atlantic and eastern gulf states, and a second covers the North Pacific states and the northern Rocky mountain region. The latter high lies at the junction of the twe circuits in the northwest; the former on the axis of the circuit in the southeast; the Colorado low forms in between them, wheré the counter flow from the highs causes a cyclonic gyration. The north- western high moves from the California coast southeast to New Mexico, or else further north to southern Minnesota, in about two days. The Florida high moves northeast along the coast to New England in the same time. The entire system, there- fore, shifts along the southern circuit. Meanwhile the storm moves in a very reg- ular course northeastward in one day to Illinois, in two days to northern New York, and in three days to the Gulf of St. Law- rence. The Texas type: In this case the forma- tion is similar to the Colorado type, the whole system, however, being somewhat advanced along the southern circuit. The eastern high is now central on the Caro- lina or Virginia coast, and covers the dis- western high is well to the east and covers the Rocky mountain slope, being central near Wyoming. Between these a low area is found central in Texas, or near the west gulf coast. The circulation now carries the Atlantic high northeastward to Newfound- land in two days, and the Pacific high to Arkansas instwo days. Meanwhile the Texas low moves moves rapidly northeast over the central valleys to Indiana in one day, to morte New England in two days, le in three days it w pausing y ill disappear from The Gulf of Mexico type: The descripti of this type is about the same me the two preceding, except that the system is again advanced to the east. These three types show distinctly the same fundamental relation to the southern circuit, being transported further along from one stage to the other. Finally there are a few spo- radic Atlantic coast storms, forming near the gulf stream and moving northeastward to the end of the northern circuit, near the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It should be re- marked regarding all the lows generated in the southern circuit, especially the Texas and the Gulf of Mexico ‘type, that they make some of the most severe storms that sweep over the eastern states. The gulf states still retain much of the heat and moisture peculiar to the summer season, while the highs from the northwest are vigorous with fresh, cold air. This combi- nation is very favorable to the formation of sudden, rapidly advancing storms, with heavy precipitation, violent winds, great contrast in temperature on the eastern and Western sides. The early heavy snow storms of the eastern states usually come from these southwesters, and their passage over a district is almost sure to be followed by a destructive cold wave, which, if un- seasonable or unusually persistent, causes great damage in the southern portion of the gulf states. The warnings of the Weather bureau are particularly valuable in the case of these storms, especially in anticipating violent winds and high tem- peratures, to be followed by very marked cold waves and freezing in the southern states. The central high more formation very characteristic of this season. A large, high area some- times covers the entire country from giving clear, type: There is one the Pacific to the Atlantic, dry weather for several days-in succession. The high holds quite steadily, the isobars be'ng nortiwest to southeast, or even di- rectly west to east, and it finally drifts off in an irregular manner, and is followed by a low in the extreme northwest. system of movements December March, in: The merated for steadily — till to disintegrate thus enu- prevails quite when it begins some very irregular and abnormal tors for April and May, introducing the summer circula- ticn which Is confined to the northern cir- cuit.

A Warm Discussion in the Convention Yesterday Afternoon, There was no session of the diocesan conventicn last evening, for after a long day's work the delegates were all pretty weil tired out, and it was thought best to begin bright and early this morning again. After The Star's report of the afternoon session closed yesterday, considerable rou- tine business was transacted necessary to the complete organization of the new dio- cese, Two important items were the elec- tion of a permanent secretary and the elec- tion of a standing committee. The latter was down on the order of business but was not completed, and after considerable dis- cussion the election was postponed until this morning. This is the most important committee of-the diocese, for in case the post of bishop should be left vacant it fills the place of the eccle: tical head of the diocese during the inte! 5 A motion was made and carried to ap- point a committee of three clergymen and {wo laymen to prepare an order of bust- the Dr. ess for the convention. Elliot, . McKim, Rev. Dr. I. L. Townsend Dr. Stuart, Mr. J. C. Bancroft Davis and Mr. C. S. Brown, and the committee later reported an order for the day. Rey. H. Allen Griffith and Rev. A. S. Johns were nominated for the position of permanent secretary. Mr. Griffith received a majority of the votes of the clergy, but the laity went so nearly unanimously for Mr. Johns that the. latter was elected by a vote of 70 to 40. Committees Appointed. Rev. Dr. Elliot announced the appoint- ment of the following committees: On canons and other business, Rev. Thomas G. Addison, Rev. Alfred Harding, Rev. W. H. Laird and Messrs. A. S. Borne and Charles H. Stanley; on parochial con- tributions, Messi W. D. Baldwin, G. A. Weodward and Seymour W. Tulloch; on accourts, Messrs. Thomas Anderson, H. B. Bird and Augustus G. May; on the admis- sion of new parishes and churches, Rev. I. L. Townsend, Rey. Gilbert F. Williams and Mr. Charles Abert, with one vacancy. Mr. Seymour W. Tulloch was. unanimously chosen treasurer of the convention. On motion of Mr. Abert the rules provision- ally adopted for the government of the convention were suspended to permit of the consideration of the election of the stand- ing committee. The proposition to elect a standing com- mittee at this point gave rise to the live- liest debate of the day. No sooner had the election been announced than some of the Gelegates began passing around printed ballots, with the names of seven clergy- men on them, ané this action caused con- siderable feeling among the deiegates. Thcse ballots contained the names of Rev. J.B. Perry, Rev. J. H. Elliot, Rev. T. C. Addison, Rev. R. H. McKim, Rev. Walter A. Mitchell, Rev. Charles E. Buck and Rev. Alfred Harding. The names of some twen- ty-five or thirty other ministers had been placed in 3 ominstion, and a lively opposi- tion developed to a ticket prepared in ad- vance. Rev. Mr. Williams and Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith made heated addresses, in which they cheracterized such methods in no measured terms. Mr. Williams made use cf such werds as “‘un-Christian” and “unconventiorel.”” Dr. Aspinwall also an- tagonized the procedure, and the three, all of whom had been nominated for the com- mittee, withdrew their names, on the ground that if such election methods were to be pursued they did not care to be can- didates. The circulation of these printed ballots, however, served to defeat the aims for which they had been prepared. After some discussion the action suspending the order of business so as to proceed to the election ef the ccmmittee was reconsidered, and it was voted to hold the election this merning, when the secretary was instruci- ed to have printed ballots containing the names of all the ministers who had been nomirated. Endowment of the Episcopate. Dr. McKim read tne report of the com- mittee on the endowment of the episcopate of Washington. The report detailed the plans for the provision of a fund for the maintenance of the new diocese and the additional steps necessary. Mr. Henry E. Pellew, treasurer of the committee on the endowment, read his report of the financial condition of the episcopate. Mr. Meloy then made a motion that a comnilttee be appointed to consider the necessity for changes in the constitution of the diocese, and to refer all questions of canonical changes to the committee cn canons and other business. Several resolutions making such changes in the constitution as are made necessary by the creation of the new diocese were offered and referred to the committee on cenons and other business.

Woodwar and Huston A motion was made to fix 11 o'clock this morning 235 the hour for the election of a bishop for the new diocese, but this was amended so as to make 3% o'clock the time. Shortly after 5 o'clock the sessions of the first day of the convention came to an end. ——S R cries Reported.

At the December meeting of the Georgi: Historical Society, held recentiy, an in- teresting matter was Lrought to the atten- tion of the society. Mr. C. N. West stated that he had received a letter from Mr. William Neyle Habersham announcing tha he had at last been succesful in a que which ne has been pursuing for a numbe of years. Among miay other valuable and histori- cal articles taken away from Savannah t members of Shermar’s army were a num- ber of tures belonging to the Telfair family. Mr. Habersham, Mr. W i has been endeavoring to secure the retur of these pictures to Savannah. He round that they were taken by a quartermaster of the federal army, and fiualiy located them in the possssion of the son of this officer, now living in New Yor After considerable argument and diplomacy on the part of Mr. Habersham, the present possessor has agreed to turn these pictures over to him. The piccures were cut from their frames at the time they were tal from S: nah, and have never been 7 framed. tee The South Carolina constitutional conv tion adjourned sine die last night. On the adoption of the constitution the vote stuod 118 to 7, the negro delegates and two white delegates opposing it 6n account of the suffrage article. % wer a So a Seton Seateefens Steg get Setetot stent eters oefoateetonte Sestestontontenteeteet : Stet oiteetente SLL EEE IEEE LG seorhonterte, ie This Men’s Store of ours is | buy all my fine gloves of you “chucked” full of Holiday sug- because I a0) them to be ear % gestions.
