The restored Mount Weather observa-
tory occupies the same site as the old.
namely the tract of seventy-seven acres
purchased by the government in tho
autumn of 1902. AS has been said 1t is
in decidedly isolated locality some TWEEN
ty miles south of Harpers Ferry and
forty-seven miles in a direct line from
Washington. Situated at an altitude OF
crest Of the Blue Ridge mountains. it
overlooks to the west the entire Shenan-
doah valley from Strasburg to Harpers
Ferry. while to the east all that portion
Of Piedmont, Va, between the Blue Ridge
and the Bull Run mountains is in full
view. This extensive sweep of valley
mountains and plains affords rare oppor
tunitieS for the study of storms, but the
construction of large buildings on this
somewhat inaccessible site probably pre-
sented more puzzling problems for builders
and contractors than have been involved
In any other governmental undertaking
of the kind. Mount Weather, as Uncle
Sam has christened his mountain peak, is
six miles from the nearest railroad sta
tion-that at Bluemont, Va. All the build
ing material had to he transported to the
observatory site by means of six and
eight horse freighting teams that found
hard climbing on the steep mountain road
that was specially constructed to give ac-
cess to this outpost. Moreover, the brick
layers and other artisans who went
from Washington to construct the new
buildings had to content themselves with
boarding places miles away from their
scene Of employment. for there are no
habitations, other than those Of the

GOVERNMENT WILL MANUFACTURE THE NEW POSTAL CARD

At the present time all this is done by
private contractors. and all the work in
connection Herewith. from cutting the
trees and reducing the logs to pulp to
done in the woods of Maine the town Of
Rumford Falls being accredited with the
phenomena of having within it's confines
a spring from which flows stream OF
postal cards at the rate OF nearly three
million every twentyfour hours.
The logs from which the pulp is made
are procured from the picturesque noun
tain sides far above this little city and
transported to the mill upon the waters
of the placid stream which the natives
refer to as the Androscoggin. With the
placing of this raw material in the mill
sheds the process of converting it into
postal cards is begun. and before they
leave this quiet village these Maine logs
have been metamorphosed into silent mes
sengers which are destined to bear to
mankind tidings of joy and of despair OF
sunshine and of sorrow, of success and of
failure. But with the expiration Of the
current contract the scene will shift The
postal authorities will forget the romantic
Maine village. and those whose duty it is
to distribute the postal cards to the va
attention to that great government work
shop known as the government printing
Office.
When the making of new postal card
contract was taken up by the officials of
the Post Office Department the question
was at once asked as to why the work
could not be as we'll or better done at
the government printing Office than by
private contract. The result was that tie
public printer was invited to submit an
estimate on the work, and when the bids
were opened and compared with the fig
ures submitted by that official it was
found that il would be to the interest OF
the government to print its own cards.
How many have thought that there
were nearly a billion cards used each
year or that nearly ten million dollars
were spent every twelvemonth for what
appears such trife? This means that
in order to produce the cards as rapidly
as they are used II is necessary to print,
bard and pack ready for shipment ap-
proX imatelY three million cards every
twenty-four hours.
The specifications for the paper which
will be used by the government printing
Office in the manufacture Of postal cards
provide that 1t must be made of bleached
