A WINTER ON THE TOP OF MOUNT WASH
INGTON.-A letter from Prof. Hitchcock of
Dartmouth College in relation to this scen-
tific purpose has been published. We extract
the following from it.
have organized party to occupy the sum-
NIT of Mount Washington the coming winter,
for the purpose of observing meteorological
phenomena and reporting them to the public,
especially through the daily papers and the
Office of the War Department., Washington,
the "Division of kilograms and reports for the
benefit OF commerce." To facilitate our re-
ports, the War Department has sent us eleven
hundred dollars worth of telegraph cable and
instructions, so that dsily and instantaneous
communications can be had between the
summit of the mountain and Washington.
We believe that our observations will be i'm
mensely for the benefit of commerce, since
the approach of storms can be heralded many
hours in advance from so elevated station.
As is known to every one, the mists gather
on high mountains long before the rain falls
and farmers living at the base of mountains
regulate their work by the Soaps" at the sum-
mits. But the highest of all our mountains
is far out of sight from the commercial cities,
so that the misty caps cannot be seen with a
station on the summit, the first symptoms OF
the approach of storms can be heraled by
telegraph, and thus vessels can remain in har-
