snow-cAPPED HEIGHTS.
00mo Observations Taken on the SumDalt
Of Mount Blanc.

of Mount Blanc.
Some exceedingly interesting oh.
servations on the peculiar condition OF
snow on the tops of lofty mountains
have been made in connection with the
attempt to found meteorological and
astronomical observatory on the sum-
NIT of Mount Blanc. 1t looked at one
time as though the undertaking would
have to be abandoned, because it was
proposed building was indiSpensab BILE,
and the snow proved to be SO deep that
the rock could not be reached But NJ.
Jansen, the French astronomer who
conceived the project of a Mount Blanc
observatory, was not discouraged.
He gave the world a taste of his quail
ity, indeed, as long ago as 1870, when
he escaped from Paris in balloon,
sailing over the heads of the besieging
Germans, in order to go and witness q
total eclipse of the sun. So intrepid a
spirit was not to be easily bafaed by a
little snow on q mountain.
NJ. Jansen accordingly began to
a little snow mountain, and by means
of pressure brought the snow to the
degree of density possessed by that on
the peak of Mount Blanc.
Then he erected n structure consist
ing of leaden disks upon the snow, and
watched the extent to which Its weight
caused it to sink. The sinking was so
very slight that NJ. Jansen concluded
that an observatory building about
thirty-three feet long and sixteen feet
wide-the desired size-and weighing
rs much two thousand tons, might
be erected upon the snow on Mont
Blanc without sinking more than a few
centimeters.
The foundation timbers will be p,lr-
posely sunk some distance below the
ordinary surface of the snow, and it is
calculated that there they will remain
substantially without change of posi-
ton. In case any sinking does occur
a system of jackscrews will enable the
inmates of the observatory to readjust
its level.
The fact that the browning snow cap
of Mont Blanc is SO sta BILE is very inter-
esting. Although it is exposed to the
winds from every side, the observations
of several years have detected very
slight alterations in it.
1t has frequently been said that COM
siderable uncertainty must exist tc
the precise height of snow-tipped noun
tains, owing to changes in the level of
the snow. But so far as these obscrva-
tions on Mont Blanc go, it would APP
pear that snow may form almost as UNI
alterable a summit for mountain as
the solid rock itself.-Youth's Compan-
ion.
