NEW YORK, December 25.—The Youd to success on the concert stage in the olden days was difficult, but now it is even harder. tious artists than ever are being crushed into disappointment.

More hopes of ambi- | treachery of the air, which ¥ never will be wholly over- | come, is being hourly made less fear- some by the constant development of the aeralogical work of the Naval Bureau of Aeronautics, which now is | regarded as one of the Weather Bu- {Teau's chief aids in determining me- teorological conditions. | With their craft roaring in the teeti of gales, tossing in squalls, or pene- trating rolling banks of fog miles trom the shore, naval air pilots and 1erologists are fultilling 4n important place in the task of gathering the in- formation on which the daily weather forecasts are prepared. Swift-fiying, radio-equipped naval seaplanes, far out on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, are engaged in this enterprise of co-operating with the United States Weather Bureau in the work of prognosticating me- teorological conditions. Maps Air Routes. Coupled with this work of gather- ing weather data, the hydrographic| office of the Navy Department now is engaged in the mapping of air routes ong the coast line, so airmen may find their way regardless of the diffi- ltfes encountered by meteorological | condition A chart already has been prepared by the Navy's hydrographer certain sections of the At- ist line, and others are in preparation. Bach will clearly mark all possible landing fields, the com- s courses for both afrplanes and between principal cities, areas of possible danger to avi- ators whose course lies either over land or sea. It is planned to print on the margins of these charts sketches )f lighthouses, buoys and other aids to aerial navigation.

The the sailor " airmen come to benefit the farmer is another interesting illus tration of the manner in which science links up man's varied inter- ts. Who would have thought a few years ago that the N: would ever be doing. for instance, highly tech- nical work aiding the agriculturists of the wheat belt, or the growers of | tobacco and cotton? This is how it happened: Early in aviation it became neces- ry for the Army and Navy to make | arrangements with the Weather Bu reau to obtain for all the flying fields and ships carrying aircraft “fiying weather forecasts.” These gave the flying conditions over certain area: and as far as they went were e tremely valuable. However, these forecasts were issued from certain localities and it was impossible for the forecasters to at these places to anticlpate or describe the detailed weather condition which the aviator might encounter. Furthermore, with naval alr squadrons operating over the sea the Weather Bureau can give only a general idea of the condition: which aircraft may encounter over the ocean. Built Up Own rvice. | To provide for this additional in-| formation which the naval men re- quired, the Navy built up an aero-| logical organization. consisting of air observatories with each air squadron, | with some operating with the fleet at sea and others installed at naval shore stations. At this time naval weather experts take special observations hourly of currents in the upper air. Observations of the wind at flying alti- tudes are obtained by releasing small NG NAVY HAS OWN WEATHER SERVICE TO FORECAST FLYING CONDITIONS Observations Made to Determine Problems Which Airmen Will Meet, and Work Is Proving Valuable in Many Other Lines of Endeavor. or_near the aviation forces.

Acid Used in Treatment of Leprosy Is Made Synthetically by U. S. Doctor A simple derivative of chaulmoogric acid, one of the components of an ofl used for centuries in the treatment of leprosy, has been made synthetically by Prof. Roger Adams of the Univer- sity of Illinois. How he made this artificlal substance will be disclosed at a meeting of chemists to be held in Rochester, N. Y., from December 29 to 31. Dr. Frederick B.

This is an instrument that measures’ the angles of the balloon, | and from these calculations the direc. | ion and the velocity of the winds are | computed. Observations also of tem- | peratures, humidity and pressure at | | fiving altitudes are obtained by taking | an aerograph, which is a self-recording | {instrument, ‘aloft on an airplane. | Naval vessels in the Pacific flash by radio the information received from their seaplanes to San Francisco. In- formation on North Atlantic meteoro- logical conditions and disturbances are likewise dispatched to Washington. This data, of course, is of great value to the Weather Bureau in prognosti- cating local weather conditlons. By means of radlo equipment the naval aerological observatories intercept weather reports from all parts of the country and from these the weather map is made up. Prepares Detailed Map. | The fieet aerological officer then | studies the weather map in connection with his local observations of the up- and the general advices sent the Weather Bureau. He is then able to prepare a detalled weather forecast giving the information which the air squadrons require. It is the aim of the aerological officer to furnish correct data on the exact location of squalls and showers, their intensity and duration. IHe also predicts the afr currents aloft so that the planes may take advantage of favorable currents and avold unfavorable ones. In order to make the naval ob- servations available to other meteor- ological interests fn the country, tel- egrams usually are sent twice daily in code by the Navy to the central office of the Weather Bureau 2 Conclusions drawn from them, in ad- | dition to the bureau's own observa.| tions, are given to the public over radio, through newspapers and through the mails. The system is a_co-oper- I:LU\' arrangement. The Weather Bureau helps the Navy and the Navy helps the Weather Bureau. The importance of the observations made by the Navy at sea is due to the fact that most of our weather comes from the oceans. The condi- tions in the North Pacific largely de- termine the weather as far east as the prairie States. In a lesser degrec { conditions in the Atlantic and also in the gulf affect the weather inland as far west as the Mississioi Valley. So, when showers are predicted, warn- ings of frost broadcast or fine veather promised in your daifly weather re- port, the assurance with which ‘these | brognostications are made 1s always partly, and sometimes largely, hased on the results of the labors of our seagoing airmen. Rear Admiral Willlam A. Moffett, in the annual report of the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics, gave this descrip- tion of the work of the aerological section of the Navy: “Outstanding accoraplishments in aerology during the fiscal year 1925 have been the progress made in de- veloping satisfactory standard aero- logical equipment for aircraft vessels and air stations, estension of the practical application of naval aerology |and improvergent in personnel and the {increased eswerience resulting from the establisk®ent of the rating ror} aerographers. | “Naval aerology gives ihe detailed | data of fog, visibility, heights of clouds, upper winds and other con- ditions which are needed by aviation and which can be furnished only by an aerological station ngaunz with thg at sea or otherwise out of con. “y “During the year 15 regular aero- This was after the lovers' “Last night you said I was a lobster. ‘“you must remember how crazy I am about lobster."” With a glad ery he took her in his arms.

But, my dear,” she replied, coyly, “No information is yet available rea| garding the physiological action of the synthetic compounds,” Dr. Power said, “and their medicinal value in the treatment of leprosy can therefore not be determined until they have been submitted to appropriate tests.” The chaulmoogra oil from which these aclds are produced that Dr. Rogers is attempting to make artifi- cially is squeezed from the seeds of an East Indian tree known to botan- ists as “Taraktogenos kurzii.” The ofl has a very disagreeable taste and is not easily tolerated by the patients because of the stomach disturbances it produces. By using modifications of the acids which Dr. Power first iso- lated, this difliculty was largely over- come, because these substances could | be injected into the muscles. Leprosy is an ancient disease which has not yet been conquered, for it is still widely distributed over all tropi- cal and temperate reglons. No na- tion is wholly free from it. The exact number of cases in the world today is not known, but conservative estimates place it at from one to two millions. In 1919 there were believed by dif- ferent medical authorities to be be- tween 500 and 2,000 cases in the United States. Tt is a slowly infect- ing disease, which, with better sani- tary regulations and therapeutic meth- ods, should be easily stamped out.
