THE DA1LF EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, AVEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1870.
WINTER INTHE CLOUDS.
The Proposed Enrnmpmrit on Mount Wash-
A correspondent of the BoRton Journal
trrites from the White Mountain House, dating
October 3:
TrofesBor 0. II. Hitchcock and Professor
J. II. Huntington were here on Friday and
Saturday making further arrangements for
the winter sojourn of the latter gentleman
and his party on Mount Washington. The
necessary supplies are all at the railway
depot awaiting transportation up the mountain
side. The railway company have generously
offered to carry them up, and will resume the
running of their cars for this purpose as soon
as the new rails are laid at the lower end of
the road. The supplies consist of eleven tons
of coal, two Btoves (one for cooking pur
poses), cooking utensils, provisions of various
kinds in numberless barrels and boxes, a
variety of scientific inntmments, a small
snow sled, show shoes, and such other
articles as are indispensable for comfort and
scientific investigation. Half a dozen or more
trips up the mountain will be necessary to
transport the supplies to their destination.
"The party will consist certainly of three,
and possibly four persons, and two of these,
Professor Huntington and Mr. A. F. Clough,
photographer, of Warren, N. II., have
already fitted themselves for their severe task
by a wintering residence on Moosilauko.
Professor Huntington and hia daring asso
ciates propose to go into their elevated win
ter quarters about the tenth of November.
As the lessee of the Tip Top and Summit
Honses objects to the occupation of either of
those buildings for fear of their destruc
tion by fire, the party have made up their
mind to fix their residence near the ne w rail
road depot, which, though less adapted to
keeping out the cold than the other struc
tures, can doubtless be made comparatively
comfortable. It is proposed t partition off
an apartment, and make it so far as possible
impervious to the effects of the weather.
"The results of the investigation to be car
ried on at the summit of Mount Washington,
like those instituted last winter on Moosi
lauke, are likely to prove of much value to
science in the way of affording new facts re
garding barometrical and thermometrioal
variations, the velocity of winds, the philoso
phy ef storms, etc. Observations will be
made in regard to storms, in connection with
the system now being organized under Gov
ernment auspices, and arrangements are
making to have all the investigations, in
whatever direction made, as full and complete
as possible. As the ordinary telegraph wires
running up the mountain can be of little if
of any use, a telegraphic cable will be nsed to
communicate with the outside world.
"Professor Hitchcock and his assistants
have been carrying on their geological inves
tigations in the mountain region and in the
northern extremity of the btate with great
diligence for the past few years, and have
made many interesting discoveries. Only a
few days since, Professor Hitchcock disco
vered, in a bed of lime rock in Littleton,
some fossil coral. This is the first discovery
of the kind, we believe, ever made in the
State, and it has an important bearing upon
the geologic construction ef the granite hills.
A careful survey of the State is also making
under Professor Hitchcock's direction, and a
carefully prepared map of the mountain re
gion, based on detailed and accurate surveys,
will be issued in the spring. It will be on
the scale of two and one-half miles to tha
inch, and uniformly with a map eventually
to be published of the entire State.
"A model of the White Mountains is also
in preparation at Dartmouth College, under
Professor Hitchcock's direction, the easterly
section being, in fact, about completed. A
large model will be kept at the college, and
smaller copies will probably be furnished
other institutions desiring them. Professor
Huntington, as well as Professor Hitchcock,
has spent much time in exploring the moun
tain region, and also the section of the State
lying north of the mountains in the direction
of Canada, often spending days and weeks in
tracing out streams and notches, and in
geological investigations. He has, doubtless,
visited many spots in and about the moun
tains, where no white man not even the
deer-hunter, who scours the seemingly inac
cessible parts of the country in the winter
season for game had ever been before him.
ne is, to appearances, the very man, of all
others, to undertake the bpld adventure of
spending the winter upon the bleak summit
of Mount Washington."
CITY ITEMS.
The Citizens op Washington will smile when
they read the report of the census-taker and his

A Cross IIi sband Mrs. Smith The fact Is, my
husband Is becoming so outrageously cross and
nervous that there Is no living with htm. lie pre
tends ons day that he ha got the dyspepsia; the
next day liver complaint; the next Is sick, with no
appetite declares that there Is nothing on the table
fit to eat, and so on. It Is all nonsense, and nothing
but his confounded ugliness. From the very-bottom
of ray heart, I believe he wants to worry me to
death.
Lady Friend Mrs. Smith, I think yon are wrong.
No woman has a kinder or more Indulgent husband
than you. I must confess that I have noticed a
change In Mr, Smith ; but am Inclined to think that
all he wants Is a tonic ; and If I were you, I would
not be a day without Plantation Bitters In the
house. Make him taXe them moderately three
times a day, and In a short time I think you will see
a change. My experience Is that Plantation Bitters
is one of the best and most delicious tonics In the
world ; and that for nervousness, loss of appetite,
dyspepsia, and all kindred complaints, there Is
nothing so good.
An Important Medical Discovery. The new
process bv which the French make the human body
transparent has been discovered, or a similar pro
cess, by the celebrated Dr. Ilassenplng, so that he
can examine the human body accurately and dis
cover the precise nature of the disease. All cases
wrapped In mystery should at once call on the Doctor
at his ofllcc, No. 422 N. Eiuutti Street, Philadel
phia. He cures when others fail.
