OUR ATMOSPHERE.
The Question of iia Extent Dis
cussed.

The Question of iia Extent Dis
cussed.
From All the Year Round
How deep are we all buried in air?
The question has long been one of the
vexed Thirty miles, says Blot, is the
minimum depth. At that distance from
the earth's surface, the atmosphere
ought to be as rare as the vacuum in
our air pump, which we know is only an
approach to a vacuum. Observation
shows that there must be some sort OF
atmosphere considerably higher, and
the last new notion is that on the top OF
the terrestrial atmosphere in which we
live, there floats, like cream on milk,
another much lighter and etherized
atmosphere. In this region occur the
phenomena-shooting stars, aurora bore
ais, and the freaks of reflected and
refracted light, which are still such
puzzles, as seen from our lowly places
of observatio4.
The upper atmosphere should be
stable; the lower one should be unstable
and ceaselessly agitated. Its move
ments, caused by winds and tempests
would vary in height according to the
seasons. In our own neighborhood tbs
troubled portion overlaying the earth
would be eight or ten miles high in
winter, and about twice as high in
summer. The upper atmosphere would
experience only very slight and
scarcely sensible disturbance, arising
from the heaving of the denser aeriel
surface on which it rests. In the calm
stratum floating overhead neither living
creatures nor even clouds obtain access.
We can readily conceive that, above
our atmosphere of oxygen, azote and
watery vapor, there exists another ex-
cessively light atmosphere, perhaps a
couple of hundred miles thick, composed
of the very lightest gases, especially Of
hydrogen. This is rendered more prob
able by the composition of air, which
differs essentially from that of water
Water consists of two gases chemically
combined extremely difficult to separate,
whereas air is only mixture of gases
no more combined than oil, water and
quicksilver stirred together in q pot.
Happily for us, winds and tempests keep
stirring these elements; but where they
can find place to rest they are at lib
erty to part company.
Where is the bottom of the atmos-
phere2 Not the earth's surface, for air
penetrates earths porous substance, as
we'll as everything upon it. We our
selves, it has been stated, are full of air
We are all of us proud frogs puffed up
with wind, which helps us to resist the
pressure of wind without. Air insin-
yates itself among the molecules of liq-
uids as well as through the interstices
of rocks. Not merely plants and all Or
ganized creatures, but water itself ad.
mits the ingress of air. In some i'm
portant cases, the ingredients of air
thus infltrated are slightly altered in
quantity. Was it, for instance, by Gre
ative design, or by mere chance, that in
air absorbed by the teeming ocean, the
proportion Of oxygen is greater than in
ordinary air, thus enabling the sea TO
sustain its myriads of living beings?

origin Of Cadet Grnr.

In the course of conversation with
the late General Scott in the library OF
the Military Academy at West Point, in
the summer of 1862, the veteran gave 70
the writer the following account of the
origin of Cadet gray" as the cloth
worn by the cadets is called: While sta
toned at Buffalo in the summer of 1914,
General Scott wrote to the quartermas-
ter for a supply Of new clothing for the
regulars. Word soon came hack that
blue cloth, such as was used in the army,
could not be obtained owing TO the
stringency Of the blockade aud the EN-.
barge, and the lack of manufactures in
the country, but that there was suifi-
cieDt quantity of gray cloth NOV known
as Cadet gray in Philadelphia.
Scott ordered it to be made up for
bis soldiers, and in these new gray
suits they marched down the Niagara
river, on the Canada side, in the direc-
ton of Chippewa. IL was just before
the battle known by that name, which
occurred early in July. General Rial,
the British commander, looked upon
them with contempt when preparing for
battle on the morning Of the 9th, for the
Marquis of Tweeddale, who, with the
British advance, had skirmished with
them all the day before, had reported
that they we're only Buffalo militia"
and accounted for their Egbting so well
aud driving him 70 bis intrenchmeuts
north Of the Chippewa river, by the fact
that it was the anniversary of Ameri'
can Independence that stimulated them.
On account Of the victery won at Chip
rewa on that day, chiefly by these sol
diers in gray. and in honor OF General
Scott ard his soldiers, that style Of
cloth was adopted at the Military Acsd-
emy At West Point Is the uniform Of the

commandments sixth OF q monthly
series-by Mr.. 4. B. Elliott, addressed to the
Secretary of the Treasury, Is in print rela-
tive to the values OF the coupon securities OF
the United States Government for the month
Of December, 1871, and also for the six
months which ended with the close Of the
year 1871; showing for each class Of security
the average market price In currency, in
oIidtng the accrued Interest," the correspond
Ing average price In gold, excluding the ac-
erued Interest, and the corresponding calcu-
lated rate OF Interest realized 10 investors In
such securities.
There 10 also appended memorandum Of
thoso events occurring during the six months
mentioned, which were more closely related
TO and Illustrated the fluctuations Of value In
the several securities, the whole comprising
apamphlet Of twenty-ssyen pages. Similar
statements for the months Of January and
February, 1879, have been prepared, but are
not yet In print.
In considering the value Of our national
securities II Is desirable TO note, not merely
the fluctuations from time to time as events
progress, and to determine the normal and
varying credit or borrowing power Of the
Government but also to display, so far a.
possible, the relative popularity Of the differ
ent classes OF our outstanding securities, of
differing periods, differing market values,
and differing rates Of interest.
This Is best accomplished by calculating
from the given conditions the corresponding
annual rates OF interest realized to investors
In those securities at the ruling market
