dicates warmer weather; when placed below Nos. 1, 2 or 3, it indicates colder weather; when not displayed the indications are that the temperature will remain stationary); No. 5, a cold wave, or the approach of a sudden and decided fall in temperature. During the late spring and early fall the cold wave flag is also used as a frost warning flag to indicate anticipated frosts. When No. 5 is displayed No. 4 is always omitted. A special (inland) storm flag, red, with black square in centre (not shown above), is prescribed for use in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota (except at Lake stations), Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming, to indicate high winds, accompanied with snow with temperature below freezing. When displayed on poles the signals should be arranged to read downward; when displayed from horizontal supports a small streamer should be attached to indicate the point from which the signals are to be read. There are also storm, information and hurricane signals, the combinations being made with a white triangular flag, a red triangular flag, and a square red flag with a black square in the centre. With the square flag below the red triangular fiag. it foretells northeast winds; the square flag above the red triangular foretells southeast winds; the square flag below the white triangular, northwest winds; the square flag above the white triangular, southwest winds, and two square flags-one above the other-indicate a hurricane. The red triangular flag displayed foretells easterly winds on the great lakes, and the white triangular foretells westerly winds. Whistle Signals-The warning signal, to attract attention, will be a long blast of from fifteen to twenty seconds' duration. After this warning signal has been sounded long blasts (of from four to six seconds' duration) refer to weather, and short blasts (of from one to three seconds' duration) refer to temperature; those for weather to be sounded first: One long, fair weather; two long, rain or snow; three long, local rain or snow; one short, lower temperature; two short, higher temperature; three short, cold wave. (By repeating each combination a few times, with an interval of ten seconds between, possibilities of error in reading the signals will be avoided, such as may arise from variable winds, or failure to hear the warning signal.) As far as practicable the forecast messages will be telegraphed at the expense of the Weather Bureau; but if this is impracticable, they will be furnished at the regular commercial rates and sent "collect." Persons desiring to display signals should communicate with the Weather Bureau official in charge of the climate and crop service of their respective States, the central stations of which are as follows: Montgomery, Ala.: Phoenix, Ariz., Litle Rock, Ark.; San Francisco, Cal.; Denver, Colo.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Atlanta, Ga.: Idaho Falls, Idaho; Chicago, Ill.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Des Moines, Iowa; Topeka, Kan.: Louisville, Ky.; New-Orleans La.

OF In 1876, as the result of negotiations between the Ottoman and Egyptian governments and the various Christian Powers having representatives at Cairo, certain courts were created in Egypt for the trial of mixed civil causes arising between persons of different foreign nationalities. and suits of foreigners against natives. the Egyptian Government and members of the Khedival family. These mixed tribunals, in civil matters within their exclusive jurisdiction, superseded the consular courts. A mixed tribunal consists of five judges, three of whom are foreigners and two natives. The foreign judges are appointed by the Khedive on the recommendation of the great Powers, each of which is represented by from one to three judges. There are several tribunals of original jurisdiction (first instance) and a court of appeals at Alexandria. The United States is represented in these courts by the following judges: Court of Appeals at Alexandria-Anthony M. Keiley, Virginia (app'd 1894). Court of First Instance at Cairo-Geo. S. Batcheller, N. Y. (app'd 1897). SOLDIERS' HOME COMMISSIONERS. Court of First Instance at MansourahSomerville P. Tuck, New-York (app'd PRINCIPAL JUDICIAL OFFICERS. Chief Justice-MELVILLE W.
