This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

inventor meteorologist military officer
Edward Everett Hayden was born on April 14, 1858 in Boston, Massachussets, United States. He was one of four children of William and Louise Annie (Dorr) Hayden, and a descendant of John Vassall and Thomas Oliver, early seventeenth-century settlers in Massachusetts.
Hayden studied at the Boston Latin School, and later won a competitive appointment to the United States Naval Academy, where he was graduated fourth in his class in 1879.
In 1884 he studied at the Harvard Observatory.
Hayden spent three years at sea, and then was assigned to special duty in the Smithsonian Institution and later in the United States Geological Survey. In the summer of 1883, on this latter duty, he suffered a severe fall while climbing Three Sisters Mountain, Oregon.
After retirement from active service, June 30, 1885, he was appointed an assistant geologist with the Geological Survey, 1885-1886, and marine meteorologist and editor of pilot charts in the Hydrographic Office, 1887-1893.
He was a secretary of the National Geographic Society, 1895-1897. In these years he became an authority on ship routings, meteorology, and especially on hurricanes. His articles were published in the American Meteorological Journal, of which he was an assistant editor from 1892 to 1896, and elsewhere.
In 1898, during the war with Spain, he was put in charge of the Naval Observatory at Mare Island, California, where he published an article on "Clock Rates and Barometric Pressure. "
In 1899 he was assigned to the branch Hydrographic Office in Manila and engaged in scientific work also on visits to Hawaii, Guam, and Japan. In January 1901 he secured restoration to the active list of the navy, on the basis of a legal decision that an officer whose injuries were incurred in line of duty need not be retired if capable of duty ashore.
He was made lieutenant commander in September 1901, commander in 1906, and captain in 1910. From 1902 to 1910 he had charge of chronometers and time-service at the Naval Observatory, Washington, and in this duty established the system of correcting the observatory time-signal transmission clock on the basis of barometric pressure and temperature, thus establishing accurate standard time-service in the United States. He also introduced the system of time balls for transmission of accurate time to ships in American ports. After promotion to captain he was placed in command of the Key West Naval Station and 7th naval district, and in 1915 he was assigned to court-martial duty at the Norfolk navy yard. He was retired in 1921 with the rank of rear admiral.
After retirement he made his home in Washington. He died in the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, after a brief illness. His funeral was held in the Washington Cathedral and he was buried in Arlington.
Edward Everett Hayden went down in history as a notable naval officer, inventor and meteorologist. He was considered an expert in sea storms, and wrote many articles about them. His notable writings include "The Great Storm off the Atlantic Coast, " "The Law of Storms, " "Tropical Cyclones, " and other works. He also helped co-found the National Geographic Society.

Hayden was a vice-president of the National Geographic Society from 1890 to 1893.
At the beginning of his career, Hayden suffered injuries which necessitated the amputation of his left leg.
In his scientific work Hayden was noteworthy for thoroughness, insistence on accuracy, and persistence in securing the application of scientific knowledge to practical purposes, especially in the fields of ship-routing and time-service.
On December 12, 1882, Hayden married Kate Reynolds of Lafayette, Indiana, the daughter of Major-General Joseph Jones Reynolds. The couple had six children.
