The whisky was taken to police headquar- ters and the contents of the cases emp tied.

Investigations of the temperature,
pressure, density, and composition of
the upper air at very high attitudes
above the earth are of scientific value
to meteorologists. For this reason,
and not because of any fancied posi-
bility of communicating with the
moon, the Weather Bureau of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is interested in the efforts Of
Doctor Goddard, of Clark University,
to perfect a rocket like device which
will lead to information on these
points. The type of rocket used in
such investigations is intended to
carry equipment for recording the
facts of the upper air, for taking
samples of the atmosphere, and, most
important of all, for bringing them
back
Practically nothing is actually
known at the present time of the at

mospheric conditions more than
twenty miles beyond the earth's sur
face. Such facts as are known about
this twenty-mile layer of atmosphere
have been learned by means of bal
looms which can be sent no higher.
Aviators have only penetrated
about seven miles above the sea level
not much more than the height of
the highest mountains. From two
frequently observed upper-air phe-
commissioning stars and the
aurora-entirely contradictory de-
auctions have been made by reliable
scientists respecting temperatures in
the upper atmosphere. The facts in
the matter can not be determined I'M
til the very high atmospheric layers
can be explored.
A study of rockets was made at the
time of the World War, by means of
which the underlying theory of this
type of experiments was developed.
1t is considered entirely feasible to
project properly devised rockets to
heights of 500 miles or more above
the earth There is thus reasonable
hope for getting positive knowledge
of very high attitudes through Doctor
Goddard's experiments.
