MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS.
May Be Measured by Means Of an
Ordinary Thermometer.


Ordinary Thermometer.
Heights Of mountains or of airships
can be measured by means of an ordi-
nary thermometer. The greater the
pressure Of the atmosphere on the sur
face Of water the greater temperature
il takes to boil It. AS we rise in the
air less and less pressure of the air
occurs, and water will boil at n lower
temperature than 100 degrees c. 212
degrees FL 1t has been figured out
that for few miles up for every
thousand feet Of ascent water will
boil degree lower Thus If at the
bottom of mountain water boils at
90 degrees c. l2l02 degrees FL and at
the top at 9S degrees c. (20S.4 degrees
FL the mountain is thousand feet
high.
In government and other scientific
work extremely delicate thermometers
are used. They are long. so that the
scales may be divided into fractions
Of degree The entire instrument for
the work Is termed thermobarome
ter, or hypsometer II consists of a
small metallic vessel for boiling wa
ter, on the inside of Will are placed
these delicate therml cters. Ganot
says that the accuracy Of the height
OF mountain can be obtained within
ten feet by means Of these instru.
ments 1t is probably not quite that
accurate, as the pressure Of air does
not decrease uniformly as we ascend.
Nevertheless it is good adjunct to
the surveyor taking largely variable
profles.
OF course the ordinary instrument
for taking heights without actually
measuring them is the barometer.
This Is open to the same objection as
the thermometer, for its height de
ponds on the pressure Of air, which
does not decrease uniformly. How
ever, 1t can be graduated to an EN-
plrical scale to tell the heights and In
that case shows accuracy.-Ch Chicago

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Purpose Of the Conference Called by
Gov. Prouty.

Notice has already appeared in
these columns to the effect that Gov
ernor Prouty has called a Conference
of Weights and Measures to be held
in Montpelier June s. This confer
ence is called at one o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and undoubtedly will prove a
most interesting one.
The United States Government has
for several years been agitating the
subject of better weights and meas
ures. AS a result many of the states
have begun to enact more stringent
laws, and the general public is wax
ing up to the fact that IL does not
know whether It is getting full value
for the money paid for food products
In these times Of the high cost OF liv-
ing, this is one of the most important
subjects that could come before the
purchasing public.
Our State laws provide that the
State Treasurer shall keep the scales,
weights and measures provided by the
general government; that each county
treasurer shall keep set of weights
and measures proved by the State
Treasurer and with a penalty for non
concurrence and that each town
treasurer shall keep set of weights
and measures proved and sealed by
the county treasurer. II also pro-
vides that a person who knowingly
uses for the purpose OF purchases or
sales, or keeps for public use a weight
measure, sca'e. balance OF beam,
which does not conform to the
weights and measures adopted by the
State, is subject TO a severe penalty.
The United States Government has
sent a special inspector into the State,
who will render a report which will be
presented at this conference. showing
some interesting facts and figures. It
is also expected that this inspector
will be present In person.
The Bureau Of Standards under
whose jurisdiction the special inspec-
tor acts, will be represented either by
DR.. Strattor, the Director of same. or
by Mr. l.. A. Fischer. who is al the
h'th VI AAt ~ NtNuAN AAl measures ne
partment DR.. Fritz Reichmann.
State Sealer OF Weights and Meas.
ures Of New York. and Mr.. Daniel C.
Palmer, State Commissioner OF
Weights and Measures for Massachus-
etts, will a'so be present. An invita-
ton has been extended TO all persons
interested, and II Is expected that In
addition TO the Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and State Treasurer. the
county treasurers In particular will
be present. and many OF the town
treasures; also, that any cities which
have sealers OF weights and measures
will be represented by these sealers,
and that many business men who are
especially interested In this subject,
viii also be present.
The object OF the conference Is TO
consider our present laws, with view
to such modification OF the same at
the coming legislature as will protect
the State from becoming the dumping
ground OF short weight goods because
OF the more stringent laws which are
being enacted by the neighborlng
states.
