The appartus, known as a “ceiling light projector,” will go into opera- tion tonight—if there are any clouds, Meteorologist H. J. Thompson of the U. 8. Weather Bureau said Throwing a beam from a 450 watt lamp, the searchlight will measure cloud height accurately up to 75,000 feet. The light has been installed at the Forest Service warehous: and will be operated by the Weath- er Bureau office in the Federal Building by remote control Wires Leased A pair of telephone wires have been leased for turning it on and off. A switch in the office operates a relay switch at the warehouse. which trips the light on. As the light throws, a vertical beam, and the distance from the Federal building to the warehouse is known, all that must be learned |to determine the height of the clouds is the angle from the build- ing roof observation point and the illumination on the cloud. This angle is measured with a clinometer. - o The world's greatest sanctuary for wild life is in northeasst Trans~ vaal, Scuth Africa.
