"Article IV-No crossing of troops of either country shall take place from Capitan Leal, a town on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, eighty-four kilometers (52 English miles) above Piedras Negras, to the mouth of the Rio Grande. "Article V-The commander of troops crossing the frontier in pursuit of Indians shall, at the time of crossing, or before if possible, give notice of his march to the nearest military commander or civil authority of the country whose territory he is about to enter. "Article VI-The pursuing force shall retire to its own territory as soon as it shall have chastised Kid's band of hostile Indians, or have lost its trail; but if, during the pursuit of that band, it shall meet with other hostile Indians it may chastise them as if those first named were concerned. In no case shall the forces of the two countries, respectively, establish themselves or remain in the foreign territory for any time longer than is necessary to enable them to pursue the band whose trail they are following. The temporary loss of the trail, owing to rain be or any other accident, shall not deemed sufficient cause for abandoning the pursuit or for withdrawing the pursuing force, when there is a reasonable prospect of soon finding the trail again by means of a continued movement. "Article VII-Any abuses that may be committed by the forces crossing into the territory of the other nation shall be punished by the Government to which such forces belong, according to the gravity of the offence and in conformity with its laws, as if the abuses had been committed in its own territory, the said Government being further under obligation to withdraw the guilty parties from the frontier.

These weather forecasts are telegraphed to stations of the Weather Bureau, railway officials, postmasters, and many others, to be communicated to the public by means of flags or steam whistles. The flags adopted for this purpose are five in number, and of the form and colors indicated below: FLAG SIGNALS. No. 3. No. 4. No. 1 indicates clear or fair weather; No. 2, rain or snow; No. 3, local rain or snow; No. 4 always refers to temperature (when placed above Nos. 1, 2, or 3, it indicates 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 tem perature 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-indicates a hurricane. The red triangular flag displayed foretells easterly winds on the great lakes, and the white triangular for tells westerly winds. Whistle Signals-The warning sigual, 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 tof 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., Little Rock, Ark.; Sacramento, Cal.; Denver, Colo.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Atlanta, Ga.: Idaho Falls, Idaho; Chicago, Ill.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Des Moines, Iowa; Topeka, Kan.; Louisville, Ky.; New-Orleans La.: Baltimore, Md.
