HOW DUST GETS IN.
The Simple Explanation of q Fact Ofts

The Simple Explanation OF q Fact Often
Observed.
When the air around us becomes con-
densed-shrinks into a smaller volume
it becomes heavier, puts greater
pressure on the surface of the mercury,
and makes It ascend in the tube; then
the mercury is said to rise. When the
air expands-swells into a larger vol
ume-it becomes lighter, the pressure
on the mercury is less, the mercury
sinks in the tube, and the barometer is
said to fall. Therefore, every change
of height of the quicksilver which we
observe is a sign and measure of a
change in the volume of air around us.
Further this change in volume tells no
less upon the air inside our cases and
cupboards. When the barometer
falls, the air around expands
into larger volume, and the
air inside the cupboard also expands
and forces itself out at every minute
crevice. When the barometer rises
again the air inside the cupboard, as
well as outside, condenses and shrinks,
and air is forced back into the cupboard
to equalize the pressure; and, along
with the air, in goes the dust The
smaller the crevice the stronger the jet
of air, the farther goes the dirt. Wit
ness the dirt-tracks so often seen in inn
perfectly-framed eugravings or photo
graphs Remember, ladies and gentle
men, whenever you see the barometer
rising, that an additional charge Of dust

The wind blew and the rain fell.
When the stout lady first became no.
ticeable by reason of her manifest trials
she was only few step from the center
of the street, struggling bravely in the
direction of the nearer curb. In one
hand she held an umbrella, a box
of candy and paper pail of oys-

inquired the small man in a rubber
coat, who had madly rushed to the

A gust of wind struck the umbrella
amidships. Itcareened forcibly against

knocked forward upon her nose. Sim
