HURRICANE ON Mt. WASHINGTON. The
car house, strong building on the tip
top OF Nit. Washington, was blown over
III the late storm this week. The force of
the wind is described as hurricane. The
car house was the building which the Sig
nal Service party occupied the first and
second season OF their winter sojourn on
the mountain. If the wreck of this building
has taken the course of similar occurrences
with structures on Mt. Washington the
material will be lost beyond preadventure
and new timber will have to be hauled up.
When the halfway stable at the lodges
blew off some years ago not a timber.
board or shingle could be seen anywhere.
The mystery was where could it all have
gone to. The answer probably is, that
the wood kept drifting in the wind until it
reached the very bottom of the deep ra-
vines, where it is uncomfortable for hui
man feet to tread. Cars have sometimes
been stored for the winter in the car house
but fortunately they were all at the foot of
the mountain.

MI Donald G. Mitchell has been esti-
mating the cost OF fences in the United
States He figures it at 81. 700 900, 600.
neceSsitating AN annual expenditure ofSl9S-
900 600 for repairs No estimates of the
cost of fences in Massachusetts are given,
but in Vermont the cost of farm fences is
estimated at 5000, 900 and in New y ork
SlJ4 .O00,0UD The cost in Massachusetts
is believed to be relatively as large In
thethicAly settled portion of Europe fences
are seldom seen, and Mr. Mitchell argues
that taking into account, in addition to
their cost, the ground which they render
useless. true economy demands that our
American farmers do far less fencing
