"In addition to the trans-Atlantic serv
ice we are also making arrangements
with vessels sailing in southern waters
to get reports twice a day, and this in
formation will be of inestimable value
during the hurricane1 season," said Mr.
Scarr.
To some persons daily consultation
with the weather man is a very necessary
part of the day's routine. Take the pro
duce men, for instance merchants who
deal in perishable goods, like fruit and
vegetables. They are obliged to keep
daily tabs on the weather, so as to know
how to protect their wares. It may be
that a commission merchant has just
loaded a cargo of potatoes which cannot
be left over night. He must ship them
immediately, so he calls up to know what
the weather is to be for the next twenty
four hours, so that he may protect the
consignment for transportation. Or it
mav be a man is wishing to send a cargo
of fruit to some other point. He calls
up and nods that there is to De zero
weather ; therefore he wraps his fruit to
keep it from freezing.
Another line of business that depends
ou the weather forecasts is that of the
salvage companies, those who make a
business of saving wrecked vessels from
total destruction. From this source the
weather man has constant calls.
Templeton' Dlscoverien
All the children of Folkstoue Beach
were mound builders, spending hours
every day with buckets and spades, piling
the beautiful white sand up in quaking
mounds. The trouble was that nobody's
mound went up very far. As fast as
fresh bucketful was poured on top the
cunning, crawling sand would slide away
from beneath and no amount of bucket
fuls could coax the mound up very high.
But one day Templeton Yellot made
discovery. He found how to keep the
sand from slipping back to the level
beach. He was working oft by himself
when he found out this great thing, and
he built hi8 mound up and up, getting so
eager and excited that he did not hear
Nelly Tucker and the two Tucker boys
coming up behind him.
"I say, Temp, how did you do that?"
"Let me help, will you, Temp?"
But the mound builder was rudely un
willing to share his secret or his fun
"Go awav !" he said, ansrrilv. "This is
my place, and I don't want you here.
found out by myself how co build this
high one, and I'm not going to tell any
bodv. What makes vou stav where
you're not wanted?"
"Yon npedn't hft so afraid." said
George. "We wouldn't stay for any
thing. You couldn't pay us." And the
three Tuckers turned their backs and set
off down the beach.
Templeton went on building higher
and higher, but somehow the fun was all
gone. Pretty soon he emptied out his
bucket, shouldered his spade and went to
look for the others.
There they wei e, 20 or more, little girls
and bovs, piling up the sand, laughing
and sVinntino' Thnir mnilllds Were lOW
but their spirits were high, and Temple
ton envied them the good time they were
having together.
Then our little boy made his second
discovery that day, which was that being
selfish is a poor way to enjoy yourself,
and it was a much pleasanter secret than
his first one. "Look here, George," he
called to the oldest boy. m show you
how to build better than that. It's easv
when you know how." And soon he and
the Tuckers and the rest were hard at
work building fine, high sand heaps.
