An Atmosphere In Outer Space.

That extreme cold paralyzes every
vital function is of course a piece of
everyday knowledge. But it has been
left to Professor Pictet, who has been
conducting some experiments on this
subject, to discover that at tempera-
ture of $50 degrees below the centigrade
zero there is no chemical action between
nitric or sulphuric acid and potash, be-
tween oxygen and potassium, though
under ordinary circumstances the affinity
Of the latter metal for oxygen is SO great
that it will burn if thrown into water,
owing to its com bination with the oxygen
in that fluid. But if the electric spark
is played on bodies which have thus lost
the power of chemical affinity some
new and curious combinations result
The latest investigations, the conclusions
of which, however, have been theoretic-
ally presaged for some years past, may
require us to reconsider the question of
the temperature of outer space and the
possibility of an atmosphere composed of
gases in combination existing there

Drove a Gambler out.

A swindling gambler was shown up
during a game of poker in one of the pri-
vate dining rooms of the Hotel Waldorf.
A well dressed man, giving his name as
w. w. Hurt, started game of cards
the preceding night in which he won
several hundred dollars. One of the on
lockers detected Hurt cheating and
looked up his record. Hurt proved to be
professional card sharp with an unsa-
vory past. In order to expose him the
game was arranged. The play was for
small stakes only, and not detecting
Hurt cheating the manager of the hotel,
tired OF waiting for crooked" work,
stopped the game, returned the money
to the players and gave them sketch
Of Hurts disreputable career.-New

Mrs. McAdarns and the Girls.

Mrs. Maud McAdams, nee Cox, and
sisters-in-law, Misses Sarah and Mamie
McAdams, living little northwest of
this place, a few days since went black
berrying, at which they succeeded very
well. They left their baskets a few min
utes for stroll, and on returning OBJ
served bear, which had just made a
dinner Of their berries. and with clubs
they compelled 'Bruin to leave, pursued
by the dogs that had accompanied the
party. The dogs had not gone far till
they started up three deer and followed
after them. and Mrs. McAdams and the
Misses McAdams joined in the chase.
They shot one of the deer with pistol,
Mrs. McAdams cut its throat. and the
girls fayed it.-Coquille (Or.) Herald.

in the stern of the boat, helpless with
terror. But the race could end in only
one way. The line of broken ice came
grinding on like race horse, growing
with fury. 1t smashed the cabin to frag-
ments and sped after the frail little craft
that was striving so hard to escape.
| JASPER cried out with terror and held his
/ hands before his face to shut out the aw-
full sight. Curt stuck to the oars, but
he knew nevertheless that escape was
out of the question. His brave heart
sickened at the thought of what would
happen when the crashing ice cakes
reached the boat.
Suddenly he saw something that reused
a glimmer of hope. Twenty yards to-
ward the left shore and slightly in ad-
vance of the avalanche foated huge
tree, evidently torn bodily from the soil.
Its broad end, bristling with snakelike
roots, was turned down stream, and
here and there it thrust out thick limbs
that served to steady it, like outriggers
ON a boat.
The opportunity was a good one, for
the tree looked sufficiently strong and
massive to hold u own against the tur-
bulent ice. If he's>staways could reach
it, they stood fair chance of escaping
death. Curtis resolve was instantly
formed. He reused Jasper from his
stupor of fear and briefly explained what
he intended to do.
"Now," cried Curt.
Jasper caught the dangling roots and
pulled himself to place of safety. An
agile spring landed Curt beside him, and
the next instant the boat was whirled off
into the gloom. As the lads crept high
er up the trunk, Jasper slipped and was
precipitated into the water. In his strug-
giles to keep from sinking he seized one
of the roots and clung to it frantically,
crying for help.
At the risk of his life, Curt crawled
down, and with some difficulty rescued
his companion. They lost no time in
choosing positions among the heavy
limbs and then had barely settled them
selves when down the shock came. The
towering masses of ice surged around the
tree, burying the trunk from sight at
times and rocking it to and fro like
cradle. The peril was frightful and i'm
minent for half an hour. The boys were
beyond the reach of the ice, however,
and happily the outriggers prevented the
tree from rolling over.
The night wore on, and when it broke
the tree stranded on one of the piers of
the Catawissa bridge. Willing hands
rescued the castaways with ropes, and
when they had recovered from their ex-
posure they were sent home by rail,
whittier the glad news had already pre-
ceded them.
1t need hardly be said that Curt was
never called coward again.-William
Murray Graydon in Hartford Courant.

PROFESSIONS oveRcRowpgD.
But the supply of Mechanics Is Also
Greater Than the Demand.


The learned professions are overcrowd-
ed. The cause Of this unhappy crowding
of the market for brain laborers is not
far to seek. An immense number of
persons, who in former times would have
worked with their hands as their fathers
did before them, are being educated to,
work with their heads. There is a gen.
eral leveling up of the social grades, if
you look at it optimistically. Theson of
the artisan becomes clerk, the son of
the clerk aspires to teach in school, the
son of the schoolteacher aspires to go to
Oxford or Cambridge. But this leveling
up is not an unmixed blessing.
The result is that we have 80 times too
many clerks-200 applied for an insig-
nificant post advertised in The Times
the other day-10 times too many half
educated teachers, and, alas, 10 times
too many university graduates turned
out every year to crowd the ranks of the
bar, the schools and journalism and re-
cruit the years crop of miserable and
hopeless failures. None of these people
can dig as their fathers did. They can
not make shop boys or busmen or cross
ing sweepers. Too many of them can
only teach OF starve.-London Saturday

Vegetable whisky Shops.

One of the most curious plants in the
White House Conservatives is called by
the superintendent vegetable whisky
shops" because their pitchers distill an
Intoxicating fluid that attracts all sorts
of insects. Half pint is contained in
each of these receptacles, and it is said
that the contents of three or four will
intoxicate man. The bugs fall into the
fluid and their substance is devoured by
the plant. One variety attracts cock
reaches, while another actually captures
frogs that, once caught, are unable to es-
cape because of two thorns extending
downward which pierce them when they
attempt to jump ont.
