ing light on many OF the most puzzing
problems OF the weather According to
Mr.. Rotchs statement a few Aear5 ago
the advantages of kites have proved to
be: Economy in instalat ton and work
ing; accurate deter mnation of height by
angular measurements; adequate eX-
posture and ventilation of the thermome-
ters which in a balloon are bathed In
heated and stagnant air, so that the tenn
pcratureS observed at a given height in
a balloon are generally warmer during
the descent than during the ascent
which is not the case with kites; and the
possibility of making frequent ascents
and descents, permitting observations to
be obtained almost simultaneous in diff
ferent air strata and near.y over a sta
don at the ground where there may be
instruments recording simultaneously
With these points Of advantage it is not
strange to learn that kites are being in
creasingly used not only in the United
States, but in Europe, where many mete

The crumbling foundation stones far

1t was to give an earthly home to his

To encourage those who elected to adopt
his religious belief he laid the foundation
of massive temple, in which more than

take place when all had embraced that
faith.
When the foundation of this monster
temple had been laid Armstrong began
the publication of the Day Star Of q
Zion as a means of disseminating his re-
ligion. In the columns of this paper he
announced his purpose as follows:
1--WE hope to build a house for the God
of Israel, not only of earthly material,
but also of living stones set up as an
ensign to an unbelieving world and a
world conformed church; this building
will also be a place of refuge against i'm
pending judgments; we will advocate and
organize a divine communion of faith,
love and purity, and thus hasten the COM
ing of the worlds Redeemer.
I'VE will show how we may enter into
life everlasting without seeing death and
corruption by keeping the commandments
of God in the faith and the sayings of
Jesus. Also we will show the nature of
man and what he loses through Adam
and what he gains through oG1"
1t was also one of the tenets OF Arm
strong's faith that the great temple and
the heaven-reaching tower would be an
"Armageddon," a place which In his
words, would not be destroyed by the
fire that was soon to consume al the rest
of the world

before attaining the present comparative
perfection of the kite and the instru-
ments attached to it. Mr. Eddy has used
tailless kite, presenting. aside from its
pockets" convex surface to the wind.
AT Blue Hill the kite now used, iEs tan
dems of two to six, is commonly the
Hargrave box kite, as modified by Mr..
Clayton, which had originally been de-
viSed for aeronautical experiments In
Australia. Steadiness, power, and, for a
kite, a satisfactory degree of reliability
are it's useful characteristics. A simple
form of this kite has been introduced on
the market by a manufacturer as a toy,
and is we'll known as the blue Hill box
kite" from its place of origin. But tie
modified Hargrave kite actually used is
much larger, stronger and more compli-
Gated. Roughly described, it is an open
framework of wood, light, but rigid some
60 inches high by 81 wide and IS Deepen
which are stretched two bands, IS inches
wide and "a apart, OF silk CLOTH covered
with a coating of thin Varnish to prevent
the air from slipping through. The joints
of the framework are wrapped together
with a string and glued with fine wire
running from angle to angle in every di-
rection. But both frame and wiring are
arranged with the greatest care to keep
everything symmetrical, the least devia-
ton of either causing the kite to fly
wide and becoming unmanageable. In
the latter kites the lifting surfaces have
the curvature of birds wing thus in
creasing their efficiency.
Another kite sometimes used at Blue
Hill is Lamsons ''aero-curve folding

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-(Srecia'. 1.-The Blue
Hills, ten miles to the south of Boston
comprise the highest elevation of land ON
the Atlantic coast between Maine and
Florida. The highest Point in the range.
the Great Blue Hill, so called, is 635 fest
above the level of the sea. The range is
prominent in the landscape for miles
around. The Indians called it MasSa-
chusetts, the Great Hills whence came
the name, originally given by Capt. John
Smith of M2ssa chusetts bay itself, ana
afterwards of the colony, province. and
state of MassaC husettS. 1t is row a part
of the great metropolitan Park system CT
Boston, in which it forms the largest,
and. in many respects most interesting
link, including Some 4,500 acres of pic
turesque, constantly varying woodland
and hill, matched only If at all, by the
great seashore park at Revere beach.
Here, on the summit of the Great
Blue" is the Blue Hill Meteorological
observatory maintained by Mr.. A. Law
renee Botch, of this city, as a station Of
the astronomical observatory of Harvard
univ ersity 1t was founded privately in
1875 by Mr.. Rotch, and since then it has
been supported entirely frcm his private
means at total cost of nearly 100000;
but in 1859 it was transferred, by a lease
Of the land on which it stands, to the
general care of the Harvard astronomical
department, in the publications of which
the records of its Investigations since
1887 form a part or the whole Of four
large volumes, making an interesting
counterpart to the records of the lofty
mountain meteorological stations main
tanned by the Harvard observatory In
Peru Mr.. Rotchs work as director coIi-
tinues as before, with the continuance
also of his own personal staff-including
at the present time Mr.. H Helm Clay
ton, meteorologist; Mr.. S. P. Ferguson,
meChanician ian important position in an
observatory where novel experiments ca
constantly for new and specially devised
appar2tus), and Mr.. A. E. Sweetland, OBJ
server.
The work of the Blue Hill observatory
has been notable and interesting in many
ways. With the exception of the munich
pal observatory in New York, it was the
first in the country to be equipped with
instruments which recorded graphically
and continuously all the meteorological
elements the form and motion OF
clouds-usually observed at a station OF
the first order Commencing with 1886,
hourly values as indicated by these in
struments were printed for the year. The
secondary stations, like the main observa-
tory, equipped with self-recording instru-
mentS, have been maintained, almost
from the beginning, lower down on the
hill and in the valley, at attitudes re-
spectively of so and 200 feet above sea
level And for many years the observa-
tory has carried on a special study of the

various forms of clouds. The first series
OF measurements in America of the
height and velocity of clouds. by trig-
onometrical and other methods was
made here in 1S90-91, and the measure
ments were repeated six years later as a
part of an international system.
But to the popular Imagination the most
interesting thing done at Blue Hill is
the kte-hying-the exploration of the
Tree air, as 1T is more scientifically call
ed; by means of self-recording instru-
ments attached to kites. In this the Rlua
I'M observatory was the pioneer, and its
methods have been widely adonted for
meteorological observation. Kites have
been used for many years. to be sure. for
sclentlhc purposes, as every one who re-
calls Benjamin Franklin's famous exneri-
ment will know. In 1749, three years be-
fore that celebrated flight, however, two
Scottish scientists had raised thermome-
ters into the clouds by the same means.
Durlng the first part of the nineteenth
century the same use of kites for ascer-
tanning the temperature in the free air
was made by various European inyesti-
gators and, in 1910, Espy, in this country.
ethpIoyed Kites to verify his calculations
of the height of clouds.
Modern kite flying for scientific mr.
poses more properly dates, perhaps. from
1888, when Douglas Archibald In England
fastened to the kite wire thermometers
Whlch registered total - as distinguished
from continuously recorded : wind
movements, and so obtained differentisl
measures OF the wind velocity at heights
up to LOO feet On Blue hill itself. IN
1885, Mr.. Alexander McAdie, now of the
weather bureau, repeated Franklin's cleo
trlcal experiment, using however the
modern electrometer instead of Frank
Inns primitive key; and in 1891 and 1879:
he measured simultaneously the electri,
potential at the base of Blue hill. on the
hill, and, with kites as collectors, severa
hundred feet above the hill top. About the
same time German (Weber) made g
more extensive use of kites to collect at
mospheric electricity
But the man who is naturally thought
of as the person who really popularized
the scientific use of kites is Mr.. William
A Eddy, of Bayonne N J. He intro
duced the novel form which took the place
for scientists of the common kite o.
childhood, and was perhaps the first t.
suggest the use of kites to obtain dats
for. forecasting the weather. In August
1894, Mr.. Eddy, at the invitation of Mr.
Aotch, brought his kite-which he wa,
then nying tandem for the sake of great
or steadiness and power-to Blue Hill. and
with them lifted a thermograph. which
was partly reconstructed of Aluminium, g,
that 1t weighed only two and Quarter
