Various Causes for the Decrease Of lem
perature at Great Heights.
The decrease of temperature expert.
eneed on ascending to the tops Of the
highest peaks of mountains results
from various causes; to say that il is
because OF the lofty altitude is not
sufficient To begin with. the greater
ratification OF the ar, which is always
encountered in upward travel neces-
sarily diminishes the absorbing power
of the air. The temperature OF the
atmosphere is greater near natural sea
level because such air transmit, tn
rays of the sun without decomposinr
them, and cannot,therefore b. heated
by them before reaching the surfa e
of the earth. where decomposition set,
in and frees the heat contained in the
sunbeam. 1t is weIl-known philoso-
phic fact that the air receives the prin.
cipal portion OF its heat b. what is
known as radiation from the earth
and the greater the distance from
average sea level the less must be the
power of such heat as a wdrmth-giv-
ing quality Another, and perhaps
the chief reason is that the vapor
screen which so effectually tempers
the climate of this country aud pre-
vents the rapid dispersion OF the heat
from the warm earth, diminishes rs

heat to be freely radiated, leaving

its tail. is covered with fine. soft hair
OF dark gray color, tipped with
brown. The head is Of a very peeul-

The Growth Of Year-Ths New Water
Works COnduit CompIstsd-A
HualoaI sueesss.

--NN~""@
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. g. isss.-Be-
tween years Of demonstrating, one who
wants accurate information about the
population of city can get it much
better from the reports of the water
tax collectors than from the voting
lists. People cannot dodge the pay
ment of 4 water tax as they can the
taxes on real and personal property.
If the water tax is not paid the water
is shut off promptly. Water is used
in every house, and the receipts in
crease in a steady ratio with She
population. The water collections o.
St. Louis went over those of the year
preceding in 1892 by more than
quarter Of a million dollars, AID this
IS interpreted by the statisticians 10
mean that the city has gained in the
last year about hundred thousand
people, who live in dwellings and pay
their taxes These figures, too, are
borne out by the reports for last year
from other departments whose work
increases with the popula ton. The
building of new houses last year put
twenty-three million dollars in the
pockets of mechanics, and demanded
the lighting of many more miles of
streets by electricity On the last day
of the year the city paid bills for the
lighting Of AS miles of streets and
alleys.
Water Commissioner Holman made
the city i New Years gift by complet-
ing the million dollar conduit which
is TO conduct the water from the river
to the pulaping engines of the new
water-worls. This conduit was the
most difficult and important part of
the whole system 1t was begun two
years ago, and work on it has been
going on, night aud day, ever since. 1t
will easily carry the one hundred and
fifty million gallons of water a day
which the new engines are to pump.
The building of the conduit was the
engineering feat of the work, and its
completion relieves the Commissioner
of all anxiety. By next fall, when the
sight-saers begin to arrive for the fes-
tivities here, a drive over the Broad
way Boul evard to the Chain Of Rocks,
where the new works are, viii be
part Of every tourists plan.
Nobody can tell whether or not the
stories are true about the attempt of
an eastern syndicate to buy all the
street railways in St. Louis, but the
dealers in the bonds of the roads, who
know their financial condition, say
that the company that gets the lines
will have to pay at least fifty million
dollars to acquire the control The
four systems OF street railways in this
city cover 500 miles of streets, and
most of the lines are run by electricity;
moreover, everyone of them is paying
good dividends The rapidity and
cheapness of the service is not equalled
by the roads OF any city in the coun-
try, and the people feel no grievance
that might interest them in clamoring
for 4 change So. the consolidating
IS looked on generally with
So far as anyone can see
now, the patrons of the roads would
be largely the gamers by the change,
rs there would be established, almost
a thorough system of
transfer tickets all over the city, by
which a passenger might ride twenty
pr thirty miles for nickel.
