Show STORMS TO PREDICT ilLtS 'Wireless Stations to Be Used to Mass Tempests Send Their Own ' Warning Ahead. 1 Storm centers move usually In an esterly or northeasterly direction. Hence the prediction of storms ou the Atlantic rouat la possible, since moat of them come from the Mississippi valley. Some come tip the toast from the Caribbean sea, but even In thla case we have tw warnlns Hut western Kurope la leu a fort n-nnte. n-nnte. Ita tempeata come from the At-11111110, At-11111110, anil with little warning. Kuro-jean Kuro-jean weather men have made n much ns possible a study of the paths of American storms across the Atlantic nnd nre sometimes nccurute In pre- dieting the "'ii of their arrival , the fame has I, done with storms cumin? cum-in? op from the South Atlantic. hut It often happens that aturms vary either their route or the rule of move ment, o that predicting cyclones on the const of western Kurope la more or less guesswork.
