Abstract
IN an article which occupies a prominent position in Le Petit Journal of February 9, l'Abbe Moreux, the director of Bourges Observatory, emphasises the importance which Germany attaches to meteorological observations and forecasts in connection with the war on land, on sea, and in the air. The fact is scarcely surprising when it is remembered that the great damage done sixty years ago on November 14, 1854, to the allied fleets in the Black Sea by a storm, the course of which could be followed across Europe, was the factor which led Leverrier to conceive and inaugurate the service of international meteorological telegrams. Meteorology is essentially so co-operative and peaceful a science that its stormy birth is apt to be forgotten.
