A SO i A SU: MAPPING THE EUROPEAN Yd Work of Photographers, It is Believed, Will Be Productive of Highly Important Results, An ambitious sebenth to map the en- tire sky of Europe is peing carried out under the direction of the British weather bureau. The bureau, as a sky of France, Professional weather observers, as well as amateur photog- raphers, in all parts of the continent are to be asked to assist, The work is Intended to help the science J meteorology, the progress of which in recent years has been dae in no little measure to the synoptic cards on which are reported simultaneous observations made at different stations. It is thought that even more Important re- sults and much more useful data will be obtained from synoptic photographs of the sky. The photographers will be asked to co-operate on lines much the Same as were adopted In mapping the sky of France, an undertaking thut wus completed a month ago, and the results of which are now being ana- lyzed. Exposures will be made daiiy, probably over a period of a week or two, twice a day, once at 9 o'clock in the morning and again In the after noon. The photographs will be sent to the national weather bureau, where the causes of the weather conditions at the time will be retraced from them, WRITES OF LIFE IN PERSIA Cutoms and Costumes Were Something of a Shock to Observant American Visitors.
