Scientific paper

IN your ``Notes'' last week you say that you cannot understand why the burden of such predictions should fall solely upon Capt. Saxby. This is what many of the public also do not understand. Why does not, say, the Meteorological Office take the matter in hand, and not leave it to some private individual? There can be no doubt the forewarnings are often of the greatest service and have saved the public tens of thousands of pounds and prevented a great deal of misery. What I think Capt. Saxby is to be blamed for is the desire-it may be only apparent-to make a mystery of his predictions with the general public; and what gives weight to this is the fact that the Astronomer-Royal and the heads of the Meteorological Office and Society do not offer the public any aid in what is a purely scientific and eminently practical subject, in which Londoners are more interested than in the transit of Venus, and quite as much as in the storm-warnings for the Channel.
