IN ali the buildings at Mount Weather the
whole construction and especially the fittings

especial care in order to anord protection

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
fluence 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;
600. Il contains a As horse power engine, d.
rectly coupled to a 25 XIV generator which
supplies the current for lighting and heating
the buildings; operating the machinery in the
laboratories: producing the hydrogen needed
TO initiate the balloons; making liquid air; and
operating the great reel upon which is wound

a number of reasons for this. In the first
place, the study of the upper air, demanding
as 1t does, the use of kites or balloons re-
quires a locality with high average wind We
locity-one where sometime during each day
there is strong possibility of having a wind
of at least eight or teS miles per hour. 1t also
calls for 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 ballons in a
storm, would prove very troublesome and even
a source of danger Besides. the surrounding
country for 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 investga-
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 IT was desirable

er bureaus work done as near as practicable
to Washington, in order that the central ofice

The varied requirements made il 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

concrete supporting the portico. The whole

struments of especially light weight are be-
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 a reel house or circular tower
mounted as 1t can be rotated Its 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 a forged
steel drum capable of carrying $4,000 feet of
piano wire line, and believe that they are pre-
pared for all emergencies.

Sweetness is to the taste what beauty is

wholesomeness. Sugar, says this authority, is

things that taste salty which have no food

that not only have no food value but are even
