10 Ali the buildings at Mount Weather the
whole construction and especially the fittings
of windows and doors has been planned with
especial care in order to afford protection
against the high winds that sweep over the
mountain in winter. The first floor of the main
building is to be given over to offices, while
the second and third floors will be occupied
for the most part by living rooms for the sci
entists. Beyond the administration building in
the most isolated part of the grounds are two
buildings from which the visitor is barred If
he carries a watch, or offers a disturbing in
fuence of any kind. These frame structures
constitute the magnetic observatory. and con-
tain many delicate instruments.
One of the most important acquisitions Of
this scientific community amid the mountains
is a new central heating and power plant The
power house, of stone and concrete construc-
ton, cost with its equipment more than $751;

supplies the current for lighting and heating

operating the great reel upon which is wound
the wire that holds captive the kites and bal
looms that are sent aloft with recording In

The stone and frame building which served
as a power house In the early days of the
Mount Weather observatory is now used as
kite and balloon house, and is the headquar-

ing liberated and allowed to make their own
way in the upper air currents. BY this way
records at elevations of from 10000 to $4,000
feet will be obtained
On the kite and balloon field at Mount
Weather is reel house or circular tower
mounted so II can be rotated. It's double
doors may thus be made to face in any direc-
ton and this facilitates kite flying, no matter
what the direction of the wind. The interior
OF this revolving tower is largely given over
to the three horse power electric motor and
the. monster reel of forged steel carrying the
line upon which the kites are flown. The ter
rife strain involved in kite flying in high winds
served to break in quick succession two cast
iron drums which were installed one after an
other, at Mount Weather, and each of which
gave way under the pull of 10000 feet of wire,
but now the kite flyers have installed forged
steel drum capable of carrying $4,000 feet of
piano wire line, and believe that they are pre-
pared for all emergencies.

There are situations worse than Gail
Hamilton's famous Twelve miles from

Telegram item seemed to have found
one of them. A party was encamped
on the Bear river in eastern Utah,
when a prospector came along one
morning on a mule. He had his jaw
tied up, and at first seemed inclined
to pass on without word. On sec
ond thought, however, he halted and
gruffly queried:

We invited him down and one of
the crowd got piece of string round
the tooth and jerked it out as slick as
you please. After the overjoyed man
had ceased dancing about / queried:
why didn't you try the string be-
fore starting on such long rider"

The project of this weather bureau station
for upper air exploration is not a new one
though the institution In its present guise, and
particularly its home now nearing completion,
are OF comparatively recent inception. Some
years ago the scientists at various United
States weather bureau stations and at the Blue
Hill observatory near Boston, took up the
study OF the best methods for lifting self-re-
cording instruments high above the earth's
surface. Up to that time all human knowl
edge OF the conditions of temperature pres
sure, humidity, wind velocity and direction and
other ingredients of the weather had been
based upon observations made at or near the
surface OF the earth. Spurred by the necessity
for better knowledge of temperature and 9TH
er conditions at great attitudes, the scientists
first took up work with ingenious forms of
kites, and this was supplemented in 1904 by
the use Of specially designed balloons as We
hicles for carrying the thermometers and other
instruments to heights that could not be
reached by any other means.
Finally the United States took the lead
