On the kite and balloon field at Mount
Weather is a reel house or circular tower
mounted as it 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

are a number of reasons for this. In the first
place, tne study of the upper air. demanding
as It does the use Of kites balloons, re-
quires a locality with a high average wind
locity--one where sometime during each day
there is strong possibility of having wind
of at least eight or ten miles per hour. II also
calls for a location ten miles or more away
from cities and electric light wires. since in
populous section loose wires falling down as
the result of accidents TO kites or balons in
storm, would prove very troublesome, and even
a source Of danger. Besides. the surrounding
country fer Is or 20 miles should be compare
lively open so that lost kites and the costly in
struments they carry can be readily recovered.
Secondly, magnetic work of the most impor-
tant character IS a feature of the operations
of this laboratory, and this requires a location
remote from cities. Thirdly, solar investiga-
tons which are likewise included in the re-
search work call for place away from the
smoke and dust of cities and above the haze
of the valleys. Fourthly the physical labora-
tory which is part of the institution, must be
free from the disturbing jars of heavy traffic
Added to all these specifications was the sup
Elementary consideration that IL was desirable
to have this very important part of the wealth
er bureaus work done as practicable
to Washington, in order that the central office
may be as closely in touch with it as possible.
The varied requirements made it no easy task
TO find an ideal site for the new institution,
but the domain finally discovered in the Old
Dominion seems to have proven itself pos
sessed of exceptional qualifications.
One of the principal buildings in the group
of new structures recently erected at Mount
Weather is the physical laboratory. This is
a three-story structure of stone construction
throughout, and with immense pillars of solid
concrete supporting the portico. The whole
building is to be given over to scientific pur-
poses. Departments for the testing of instru-

TO all the buildings at Mount Weather the
whole construction and especially the httings
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
luence of any kind. These frame structures
constitute the magnetic observatory, and con-
tain many delicate instruments.
One of the most important acquisitions or
this scientific community amid the mountains
is a new central heating and power plant. The

LOST REGISTERED LETTERS
FOUND IN QUEER PLACE
Missed From a Mangled Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From
Car Trucks

Car Trucks.
II does not always follow that the
disappearance of registered mail
packages indicate robbery of the
mail This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No.
Friday, November 9Th. when a pacH
age of five registered letters frof
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery Of the lost package
was as strange as its disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch Is picked up
from a crane by means of pouch
catcher as the train passes. This
pouch catcher is attached to the mar.
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make a
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
in two. The mail was scattered along
the track for a considerable distance,
but the five registered letters, which
were in packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked up.
The impression at once prevailed tnat
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and it was re-
ported as lost.
PostofIice Inspector L. A. Thorn IL
son was started out to investigate. ~
first visit was to Council Bluffs -
make inquiries Of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car, where it had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler.
That the package was not injured
in the slightest, nor Jared from its
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Pacific's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

The project Of this weather bureau station

Though the institution In its present guise. and
particularly its home, now nearing completion
f2re of comparatively recent inception. Some
gears ago the scientists at various United
Estates weather bureau stations and at the Blue
lrtlu observatory near Boston, took up the
lscudy OF the best methods for lifting self-re-
lcording instruments high above the earths
S5uTiace. Up to that time all human knowl-
edge Of the conditions of temperature, pres.
tSure, humidity wind velocity and direction and
Iother ingredients OF the weather had been
based upon observations made at or near the
tsurface of the earth. Spurred by the necessity
iIor better knowledge of temperature and 9TH
ter conditions at great attitudes, the scientists
tnrst took up work with ingenious forms OF
Ildtes. and this was supplemented in 1901 by
THE use OF specially designed balloons as ve-
ntcles 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
