Italian A agression.
lltlUN,
wh.uim. Nov. 11. "After Trlnoll
what next?" In the question which, according-
to dispatches from Swiss corre
spondents of the German papers. Is
agitating the Swiss press and pubic.
Italy's seizure of Tripoli, combined
with the well-known aspirations cf thu
Italian nationalists to unite the Italian
speaking portions of Switzerland with
the Roman kingdom. Is causing, suy
these dispatches, much discussion of the
possibility that the little mountain re
publics may be a future object of the
aggression of its southern neighbor.
Blnce the outbreak of tho Trlpotltnn
war various Swiss papers have pointed
out the significance for Switzerland of
this unexpected launching of hostili
ties and tho selxure of a coveted prov
ince and have concluded from !t the
necessity of neglecting no rtcps in main
tain at the hlffhent possible efficiency
the defenses and flshtlng power of tho
country.
Tlclno Coveted lr ltnlj).
The part of Switzerland on which
It Is feared 'that Italy's eye may be
turned is the canton of Tlclno, on the
Italian side of the Alps, known to thou
sands of tourists v. ho have traveled
ever the St. Ujthard railroad or visited
the Italian lakes, it's area is l.tfcS
square miles and its population nearly
15-1000, practically nil of sthem ltalian
peaking. Like the southern part of tho
canton of Valais and the Kngadine re
gion of eastern Switzerland, It is
marked upon tho maps and colored post
Cards of the Itallun Irredentists (agltu-
iwra ior a united Italian tmpire) as
ne of the regions ultimately to be
Joined to Italy, but what has focused
attention particularly on the Tlclno Is
the vexation manifested in certain
Italian quarters at the strong Swiss
fortifications of the St. Qothard pass
Which dominate the canton.
A series of articles on the Importance
f these fortifications by an Italian gen
eral ban recently appeared In the Cor
rlere della Sera of Milan, but Italian
criticisms of the- Swiss mistrust have
rather increased than diminished the zeal
with which the fortifications aro being
pressed.
In a recent article Ir. J. SchoIIen
berger, professor of political science at
the University of Zurich, maintains that
Switserland can expect little support from
.France and nono from Italy of the neu
trality and Integrity of Slas territory.
X possible combination in the minds of
the Swiss pessimists is an Italian occu
pation of thel Tlclno, for which France
would be compensated by the grant of
Geneva, a town thoroughly French In
language and sympathies.
Austria Fortifying Frontier.
Not only Switzerland, but also Austro
Hungary, Italy's ally. Is thinking of the
possibilities of Italian aggression, bince
General Conrad has been at the head of
the Austrian general staff the fortifica
tion of the mountain valleys of tho Tyrol
.long the Italian frontier has been car
ried on with unceasing energy until now
every connecting pass and valley be
tween the two countries is closed by
powerful fortifications,
Now attention has been turned to the
Stllfser Joch, a well-known Alpine pass,
situated at the Junction of the frontiers
ef Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Over
this a fine carriage road leads from Italy
Into Austria. The pass has hitherto been
considered amply defended by the fact
that the route passes for a distance of
about eight miles across a narrow point
of neutral Swiss territory, but since the
construction by Italy of a fortified camp
at the foot of Monte Umbrall and of a
fort upon Monte Opa; both near the
Italian end of the pass, and the exten
sion of the Italian railroad to iiormto. a
trong agitation has started for defensive
measures on tho Austrian side.
Tlneyards Prodace Richly.
The wine makers of the Khlnev and
Moselle have just gathered their grapes
with unusual demonstrations of satis
faction with the year's crop. When the
church bells tolled the beginning of
the grape picking they awakened mem
ories of the good old days of some ten
years or more back, before the vine
yards were damaged by phylloxera,
wormi and other peats; for this year
the hot weather and the long cloudless
days were death to tho insects, but
caused the vines to bear grapes of a
sweetness almost without parallel.
And the quantity harvested was
somewhat more than a half crop, which
Is regarded as a very good result In
view of tho continued failures of recent
years. Owing to these failures grapes
and grape Juice are bringing extraordi
narily high prices now. The best
grapes are bringing as much as 43 cents
per pound, and grape Juice for wine mak
ing is sold at from 70 cents to tl
a gallon. The bc.it Juice at Dlngen
brought $2.45 a gallon. Three are re
ported to be the highest prices ever
known.
Gu Made from Peat,
German makers of gns engines and
chemists have boen for several years
working on the problem of gasifying
peat fur uso in gas engines. The solu
tion appears to have bet-t found by an
establishment In Uorlltz. which uses
the so-called half-watcr-gas process,
which Is different from the Mond process
used In England. The Germans call the
product a suction gas. because the en
glno pumps It Into itself. Instead of It
being forced Into It under pressure. This
liew method of generating suction gas
is said to give five and ono-half to six
times the heat and power effect of Mond
gas. The new process has now been In
operation for several months, with tho
remarkable result that yields as much
power pound ior pound irom peat as
can be created out of the best coal. This
discovery has an enormous meaning for
Germany, where there are not less than
1,000,000 acres of peat lands.

OUNT WEATHER, Loudoun
County, Va. I am on the
top of tho Blue Ridge moun
tains. 2,0u0 feet above the level
of tho Potomac, at the foot
of the George Washington
monument. Just about sixty miles from
our national capital. This- morning the
Shenandoah valley was a great sea of
clouds and the Loudoun valley on the
opposite side was covered with mist, as
with a blanket. A little later the clouds
rose and In billowy waves seemed to como
to our feet. Yesterday there was a storm
and we could see It marching across the
valley of Virginia. Today everything Is
clear and we shall fly some of ITncle
Sam's weather kites to test the velocity
of. the wind, the humidity of the atmos
phere and tho temperature and other
qualities of the upper air. This is I'nclc
Sam's great weather experiment station.
He has moro than 200 other places at
which corps of scientists sit day and
night watching the storms and calms
and predicting what the next day's
weather will he. Mount Weather Is
purely experimental. Its business Is to
find out new things about the great en
velope called the atmosphere Which is
wrapped around the globe. It Is doing
this with all kinds of the finest of
meteorological machinery. It testa the
changing temperature of the bowels of
the earth, and soars Into the clouds with
automatic Instruments to bring down
the records of the heavens.
Vncle Mam, Kite Flyer.
It seems small for our great Vncle Sam
to devote his valuable time to kite flying,
but our patriarchal relative does that
every day. He is fonder of kites than
a Chinese mandarin, and ho has great
laboratories filled with the finest of box-
shaped monsters which ho sends dally
toward the skies, lie Is not alone In the
business. There aro other great nations
which do the same. Germany has Its
kite experiments, and so have France and
other countries. Of all the world, how
ever. Uncle Sam's kites have reached
nearest heaven. He has the record as a
high flyer. In April and May, 1910, he
sent two kites each of which went higher
than the topmost peak of this hemisphere.
The highest of our 'mountains are in
South America and the loftiest of all Is
Aconcagua, which kisses the sky at the
altitude of 23,860 feet. The highest moun
tain In North America Is Mount McKIn
ley, which Is a little more than 20,000
feet above the sea. Vnclo Sam s highest
kite has reached a height of 13.S0O feet
and his next highest was a.loO. Next
to these flights the most successful has
been one near Berlin, (where In 1908 a
kite was sent to a height of 21.320 feet,
and next to that was a flight at Blue Hill,
near Boston, where tho kite extended
only 16.800 feet above the earth. Twenty-three
thousand eight hundred feet Is
considerably over four miles, and It Is
about a half mile higher than the top of
Mount Mlstl In Peru, where Is situated
the highest of all recording weather sta
tions. That station belongs to Harvard
college, and it Is connected with tne
great observatory at Arequlpa, which lies
on the sides of the Andes 13,000 or 14,000
feet below. M'.stl Is so high that no
one lives there, but automatic Instru
ments are placed on the top of the moun
tain and from time to time are visited
and the records carried away.
Pllns; Weather Bureaus.
Theso kites of Uncle Sam are flying
weather bureaus. They float on the
wines of the winds and explore the
atmosphere at a point so far from the
earth that a man could hardly go there
and come back to tell the tale. The
head kite Is equipped with automatic
recorders. It has machines which nlte
the temperature, humidity and other
atmospheric conditions. It has a foun
tain pen which writes down the velocity
of the wind which blows It to and fro,
and It Is equipped with other Instru
ments so fine and so complicated and
yet so efficient that they make one
think of a great flying brain which Uncle
iium has sent aloft to explore. This
brain Is kept In an aluminum box which
might be tailed Its skull, and which Is
so protected that when the kite falls
It Is nvt destroyed.
I made a careful examination of one
of these kite Bkulls today a nd was
amazed at Its workmanship. The Instru
ment which tests the humidity Is a hu
man hair. Not a hair as coarse as that
of an Indian's, but as fine and silky as
that cf a baby. In fart, it Is the hair
of a woman's head, and one selected for
Its fineness and strength The hair is
so treated that ail the oil Is taken out
of It and It records the changes In mois
ture by its expansion and contraction.
When It rtrlkes a rain cloud It loosens
and when It reaches the dry upper
strata It becomes taut.
And then take the thermometer. This
works uIfo by expansion and contrac
tfon. It Is a little metal bowl with
liquid inside aud that of such a uaturs
that It will test the temperature from 40
degrees below zero to 100 degrees above
it. The thcrmomter In tho kite that
reached the highest flight recorded a
temperature of 29 degrees below zero,
and this was sent up from Mount
Weather the Mil of August in the face
of the hottest sun of the dog days. The
kite that went up In April of that year,
reaching 23,100 feet, recorded a tempera
ture of 17 degrees below zero, so that.
Supposing other things to have been
equal, the difference of temperature In
the 700 feet of these two kites showed a
falling off of 12 degrees. The ink used
for recording such flights has to be
carefully mado and the oil which lubri
cates the machinery must work down
to forty degrees of cold.
It is Important that the weather sci
entists know the conditions of the upper
air, and the records made by these dally
flights aro telegraphed to the other bu
reaus all over the country as soon as tho
kites come down.
How the Kites Are Made.
During my stay here I have ex
amined two dozen of these weather
bureau kites. They are not like the
great paper shields with floating tails
which I flow In my boyhood- They are
different from the dragon kites of
China or the great aerlal fishes of the
Japune.se. In fact, 'they have no tails
at all, and they aro mighty boxes.
which soar and shoot through the air.
They are of different sizes and kinds.
There is tho high-wind kite, the mod-rrato-wind
kite and the light-wind kite.
Tho larger ones are about seven feet In
height, over six feet wide and from one
to three feet thick. I took one Into
the open, and Prof. Henry and myself,
both of whom are fairly tall, were photo- I
graphed beside it. It leached more than
a foot above our heads.
These great kites aro made of sticks
of straight-grained spruce, put together
In a skeleton forming two boxes with
sticks between. The boxes have neither
tops nor bottoms, but they are covered
w.tli tho finest and strongest of cambric
and are braced with fine piano wire.
Bvery bit of the kite is carefully studied.
Almost as much care has been taken In
selecting the material as lid I son takes
In tho making of a new filament for an
electric light. Tho elastic cord for the
bridles Is manufactured especially for
the weather bureau, and It cousists of
thin strips cf rubber about a quarter
of an Inch thick tightly bound in a
cloth cover so that it forms a small
rope flvc-elghths of an Jmii In diameter.
The elasticity of the rubber protects the
kite from sudden gusts of wind by allow
ing It to take a smaller angle .iiid thus
diminishing the pull. The kite cloth Is
often waterproof, consisting or a mer
cerized hllk. which sheds tho water better
than tho cumbrlc. Such kites arc used
on foggy days.
The pull of these kites l: enormous.
No ordinary setting or cord will hold
them, and the man who would attempt to
fly them by hand might find himself soar
ing with them toward tho clouds. The
cord used here Is the finest of steel wire,
which Is wrapped around a roller and
reeled out and In by means of a power
ful electric motor.
The kites are flown from the klle
houe. u little building which looks llki
a tutch windmill, suve that It lacks the
arms which excited lion Quixote and
made him Imagine the mill a demon us
they flew about through the air. Inside
this house Is the re.-l with about ten miles
of this wire wrapped around It. The wire.
I am told, Is so strong that a Winnie
strand of It will support 2X pounds, Vou
could fasten two of those wires to the
relllng of the east room of tho White
House and President Tuft could switv;
upon them and be safo from falllna.
Nevertheless, the wire Is not as thick
as a darning needle, and It Is so flexible
that you can tie it like string.
Balloon lu veallua t luua.
In addition to the kites, Uncle Sam ha
now a system of balloon recording of th.
weather." He makes balloons of different
kinds and sends them up at the varlou.
stations over the United Estates to brin
down records of the upper air. These
are sent up from day to day, and the re
sults are trlegiaphed all over the coun
try. It Is partially from them that our
weather forecasts come. These balloons
are filled with hydrogen of a quality
which Is dlfllcult to obtain. Indsod. ther
are only one or two places In the country
where It can be had. The result Is thu.
the government makes Its own hydrogen
and It has a great machine for the pur
pose here at Mount Weather. Hydrogen

they are absolutely tight, and are shipped
by freluht to tho various weather sta
tions. Ucturnlng to the Imllnons, many ot
those which aro now being sent tip are
equipped with parachutes which extend
above them. As the balloon rises Into
the upper air It finally reaches an alti
tude at which It bursts. It carries with
It eno of these boxes containing the fine
Instruments. This Ih attached to the
parachute, and for this reason It rails
so gently that the machinery Is not In
jured. Attached to the box and also to
the box kites are pieces of w riting, which
state that a reward will be given to any
ono who will send the box to the nrarest
weather station. For this reason the
formers watch for the kites, and care
fully take them to the scientists when
they fall.
Fifty Million Dollars sv Year.
It Is estimated that the weather
bureau saves to the people of the United
Ftntes something like toO.dOO.OOO a year.
This Is 61 cents for every man, woman
and child In the country. It foretells
the storms, prophecies tho advent of
heat and cold, and Rives you warn
ing of the cyclone or hurricane long
before It comes. Last year we had a
number of hurrlcones. and the year be
fore the air of certain parts of the
country was full of them. July 21.
li09, the Galveston hurricane occurred.
About a month later another great
storm struck the mouth of the Rio
Grande, and In September there was a
third on the Louisiana coast. Just
about a month after that a hurricane was
felt nt Key West. All of these were very
dangerous, but owing to tho warnings
of the weather bureau no lives were lost.
Indeed, it Is said that by the advice of
the bureau, J.000 workmen were taken
off the Florida East Coast railroad, then

Forecasting tbe Weather.
Iiurlng my stay here at Mount Weather
have been talking with Prof. A. J.
Henry, the superintendent of this sec
tion, and with the other scientists here
as to weather forecasts and as to th(
experiments they are making along such
lines. Prof. Henry tells me some re-
markablo things about , tho winds and
thu changes which they have according
to their altitude. The Investigations are
Important In view of the aerial flights
now being made. In order to get the
percentages 2,800 observations have been
taken of 'the winds In various altitudes,
resulting in tables of value. The subject
Is too complicated to discuss In a popular
way, except to suy thut there Is an
enormous difference In the winds ac
cording to I ho layers of distance above
tho earth, und that each great storm Is
a combination of many winds moving this
v ay and that, but lu tho g-neral direc
tion of the storm.
Iir. Willis Moore, the head of the
weather bureau, has iwently published
a most interesting looK on tne sclunce
of the weuther. It ie entitled,. "Descrip
tive Meteorology," and It tame from tho
ress of Appleton &. Co. only a
few- months ago. In this he takes up all
matters relating to the atmosphere and
how our weather Is made,
(inn of hlB chapters deals with forr-
cabtlng and the making of the - daily
weather charts which are put up In the
postoffices and public buildings all over
the country. According to this we find
that observations are taken every morn
ing at the 200 weather stations scattered
throughout the United States and ths
West Indies, and that the pressure of
the air, the temperature, the humidity,
the rainfall or snowfall and the cloudi
ness at each of these localities Is tele
graphed to all the others. The weather
scientists have maps of the United States
with these stations marked upon them,
and they note at each station the cuud'
lions there. The same Is done here at
Mount Weather.
Now, these men have been studying
tills business all their lives and, know
ing what t lie weather Is In other places,
they can determine what that of their
own locality will prohubly be. It is the
'aine with the specialists at Washington,
where all the reports are handled In a
division known as the forecast division.
' t the Washington bureau the work Is
'Hvided to that one clerk makes a chart
f the country showing the changes of
emperature In the various regions dur-
ng the past twenty-four hours. He
'nakes broad red lines to separate the
o!dpr from the wanner regions and
rrow red lilies about tlioe areas p
hkh the changes of temperature are
lore than ten degrees.
How Morius ('one.'
Another clerk constructs a chart show-
ng the changes of the barometer dur-.-
tho uat twriity-four hours, lie sep
nates the regions of rhing and falling
y broad lines of red und uses narrow
id lines to enclose the areas where
'e changes have been more than clie
nt li of an lu h. He lias another set
f linos f'r those of two-tenths, and the
.cHull is that one can tell In Just what
parts of the country the barometer Is
rising or falling. That Is to say. Just
where It Is cooling and contracting, ami
thus allowing the warm winds from
other sections to flow In. The barometer
charts give some Idea of the storm cen
ters and show you how the storms are
forming.
There Is a third clerk who deals only
with the water In the air and with the
clouds. He makes two charts, one or
these gives the humidity or water In the
air at various places. The other shows
whero tho clouds aro and which way they
are gum.
Tho last or fourth clerk) makes what Is
called a general weather chart, combin
ing much of the Information recorded by
the others. This gives tho air tempera
ture and pressure at each station, the
velocity and direction of the winds, th
amount of cloudiness, and the rain or
snowfall, since the last report. The clerk
then draws Isobars or lines over the map
through the places which have the same
barometrlu pressure, writing the word
high In the center of the region of great
est pressure and the word low In the re
gion of the leaM pressure. Air, like all
other things, moves by gravity, and It
flows from regions of greater pressure to
those of less. It Is by means of these
figures that one can tell Just where the
winds will go and whether they will make
rain or not. Indeed, the work is beyond
description interesting. It la also falily
correct. I have asked Dr. Moore what
ercentage of his weather predictions
turn out to be true. vHo replied:
"We have figured that out to a percent
age and we now know, that we are right
In about elghty-elght times out of a hun
dred. This has been the average for tha
last ten years, and I think we are grow
time goes on. Tha people
We have- many demands
for new weather stations, and, If we had
the money, we could extend the service
with profit. As It la now the bureau has
become so valuable to the manufacturing,
agricultural and other Interests that they
would be glad to have It more widely
spread. This Is appreciated by the au
thorities here at Washington, and con
gress promliea to be even more liberal In
Its appropriations of the future."
