miles depth. On top Of Mount Blanc,
the highest peak in Europe, and trifle
higher than Pixies Peak in tho United
States, the barometer would read, On
an leverage, 16.s inches, that is, at an
elevation of $50 feet (lacking only 60
feet of being three miles,, we would
have nearly half the air lin amount).
To get exactly half, and see
our barometer read 1900 inches, it
would be necessary to get up 1880
feet. That's about three miles and a
half. The rate of diminution in dem
sitv, then. is not so rapid up here as
during the first 5000 feet. Now the
lowest reading actually made by the
ewes. and fully verified was that of the
English aeronaut, Glaisher, who in one
of his ascents made a record of Us

lieved to be 29. 900 feet, even with the

scious for lack OF breath;
and Mr.. Glaishcr was wholly
so. Were this trustworthy observa-
ton, and made (as supposed) at a height
Of 35, 900 feet. then we could say that
less than one-fourth of the volume Of

TEN AND A HALF MILES UP.
Tho Record Breaking Ascent Of . Little
Balloon in Franco.

It captivates the fancy of intelligent,
even though non-scientitic people. to
hint at some of the mysteries of nature
which may be unraveled through the
experiments of the Acrophytic union
of France and kindred ventures else
where. The uses, actual and possible,
with which the balloon is associated in
most minds are navigation, transporta-
ton and the espionage, communication
and escape incident to war. But the
first two are yet dreams: and the oeca-
sion which renders the last three
necessary becomes rarer every de-
cade. One may safely say, therefore,
that the most valuable service
of the air-ship to mankind, at present
and in the immediate future, is in help
ing him to discover secrets of the
atmospheric ocean. It is only few
weeks since a small. balloon, less than
twenty feet in diameter. was sent up
from Paris. with self-registering ba-
rometer and thermometer in the ap-
pended basket. and reached an alti-
tude of about ten and half miles, An
other one of the same size Is soon to be
dispatched. and, when the story of the
first one is considered. the performance
of the second will be awaited with
eagerness.
Cne thing which we want to know
about our atmosphere IS how far up
ward it extends and at what rate il
diminishes in density. Formerly we
were taught, from computations
based on twilight refraction that
the upper limit was forty
five or fiftv miles above the earth. But
from observations of the same meteor,
from different points Of view. 1t has
been possible 10 show that the atnos-
phere reaches up more than twice that

PREMATURE WRINKLES.
Women Should Get Fat If They Wouls
Look Youthful.


An eminent physician has some very
interesting things to say on the subject
Of wrinkles. The only approach to a
cure, in his opinion, is fat. Fat women
are not only better looking, but younger
looking than their slim sisters" says
this wise man. 'Take any two women
who can be induced to tell their age
and the fatter one will look at least six
years younger than her scrawny friend
The advice 1 should give thin woman
for wrinkles would be two-word SEN
tence: Get fat And if fat girl asked
for advice / should tell her to keep
quiet.
Women begin to get wrinkled when
they begin to abuse their eyes. They
trim their eyelashes and their eye
brows, they use chemicals to color
their hair and clean their scalps, they
use different preparations to brighten
or whiten their compilations, they neg
lect to get eyeglas ses, they read and
sew in poor light, and the result is in
jury to the sight Squirting follows,
and there you have crop of wrinkles
about the eyes.
Nine women in every ten talk with
their faces. They frown and scowl
when they ought to use adjectives
Proper protection for the eyes in and
out of doors will unquestionably re-
tard wrinkles. l would advise the girl
who hopes to be young old lady to
wear a big hat or carry small UNI
brella whenever she is facing storm,
blazing sunlight, or dust; to do no
more night work than is necessary,
and then to wear proof-reader's
green shade and to close her eyes
against the fierce or dazzling lights

The Facts.


AS our patrons might infer from an ar
ticle in last evenings Advertiser from
one of our competitors that they were
the only purchasers from this city at the
great auction sale at New York last week
we wish to state these facts: First, the
goods were sold for spot cash. Second,
W. G.. Weber of Salem, Mass, man OF
% years experience as a purchaser of
dry goods, and who has visited most OF
the sales of any note during that time,
was at that sale in his and our interest.
He purchased large quantity of goods,
and as agreed divided the lot equally
with us. We have the goods in our store
and they are paid for. Spot cash enabled
us to secure the goods cheap and prompt
delivery. A part of the great purchase
will be displayed and sold today.
