ational weather service. Meteorological reports had been collected and maps sent out daily by Professor Henry at the Smithsonian Institution in 1854, and European governments had issued storm warnings in Holland, France, and England; but Prof. Cleveland Abbe, meteorologist, of Cincinnati, originated the present system of weather forecasts. Professor Abbe began the publication of the Weather bulletin of the Cincinnati Observatory, for the benefit of the Cincinnati chamber of commerce, Sept. 1, 1869. His success led Professor Lapham, of Milwaukee, to cause memorials for a national system, to be endorsed by all chambers of commerce and boards of trade, and presented to Congress with a bill by Gen. H. E. Paine, resulting in the act of 1870. The great value of the service lies in simultaneous weather observations throughout the United States, transmitted twice daily by telegraph to Washington, from which are made synoptic weather maps and press reports telegraphed to all points.

visited Devonshire, Edinburgh, and the Scottish lakes. He again received numberless invitations in London, and wrote to Lowell, It is only by dint of great resolution that I escaped a dozen public and semi-public dinners. At the very last moment before sailing, he received a note from Mr. E. J. Reed, the chief constructor to the British Navy, who pronounced his poem The Building of the Ship to be the finest poem on shipbuilding that ever was or ever would be written. He reached home September 1, 1869. In his letters during this period, one sees the serene head of a family, the absolutely unspoiled recipient of praise, but not now the eager and enthusiastic young pilgrim of romance. Yet he writes to his friend Ferguson that if he said his say about York Cathedral, his friends would think him sixteen instead of sixty; and again tells his publisher Fields that he enjoys Lugano—never before visited—to the utmost, but that the old familiar place saddened him.
