AtmOspherical CuriOs.

If it were possible for one to rise
above the stratum of air which sur
rounds the planet earth, the sun would
appear to the observer as a huge,
sharply y-outlined ball of fire, while
everything else would be wrapped in
impenetrable darkness. This is true
because we know that there could be
no sensation of light conveyed to the
brain without an atmosphere for the
suns rays to act upon. But, on the
contrary, if the earth's atmosphere ex-
tended to height of 700 miles, instead
of forty-five or fifty, as is probably
the case, the suns heat and rays could
never penetrate it. Had such been
the state of things Sin the beginning, !"
this earth would never have been pop
ulated with it's varied forms of animal
life. But, should such state of af-
fairs accidentally be brought about
through some unknown agency, every
vestige of animal life would perish
from the face of the earth in very
short time, and the terrors of starva-
ton would be augmented thousand
fold by the fact that everything would
be wrapped in darkness darker than
the blacklist midnight. -[St, Louis

Lovers of Cold.

Climate affects the inhabitants of
the sea just as it does those of the
land. AS Arctic land plants cannot
flourish at the equator, SO in the Arc
tic and Antartic Oceans marine plants
are found which are unable to survive
in warm water.
Among the most remarkable of these
cold water plants are the laminariace@,
kind of sea- weeds, which sometimes
attain gigantic size, exceeding in
length the longest climbing plants of
the tropical forests, and developing
huge stems like the trunks of trees.
Recent Investigations have shown
that these plants flourish in the cold
est waters of the polar seas, and that
they never advance farther from their
frigid homes than to the limits OF
"summcr temperature" in the ocean.
The genial warmth destroys them.
just as polar blast shrivels the flowers
of tropical garden.

Here we found that, thanks to the in

west-bound train had been stopped

backed up to the nearest siding and

Four Years i'm a Barber Shop

"It is rather curious fact, said a
prominent local railroad man who
sports luxurious beard, ''that one of
the few occasions of my going to
church in recent years is responsible
for my growing this beard. The min
lister happened in the course of his
sermon to say that man spent third
of his time in sleep and that one living
to the age of three score and ten
would pass some twenty-three years in
slumber. AS the sermon was not a
particularly interesting one, my mind
wandered away from it, and l began
calculating how much of ones life
would be spent in barber shop. AL
lowing a reasonable time for waits and
for the actual process of shaving daily,
soon discovered that in the years
left to me, if 1 should attain the patri-
archal age of 70, I would spend at
least four in BARRIERS shop.
"Think of it! Condemned to four
years in barber shop! That settled
it, and, though that was ten years ago,
l have never been shaved since. -

The Golden Age.

If men were happy in the days of gold
Why should we weary and complain today?
Has Nature failed, or feeble grown, or old?
Look forth upon the teeming fields and
say:
Has Ruin reaped the harvest OF the sky?
Or have the mountains stopped their royal
brows?
Have warning winds forgot their battle cry?
Has Ocean ceased his lion soul to rouse?
Has melody forsworn the summer day?
Has Love forgotten to be cruel, kind?
Have Times enchantments faded all away?
Or is it thy poor, cropping soul is blind?
Look forth No longer weep with doubt and
fear,
Behold the golden age is ever here.

Fish That Sing.

A species of fish known as the ''sing-
ing shad" ars often seen and heard
along the Atlantic Coast, especially in
early spring. and late in autumn.
People of the Georgia and Florida
coasts declare that they come from the
north, while those of Delaware Bay
and Long Island Sound are equally
certain that the little piscatorial odd
ity is Southern denizen. They go
and come in vast schools and only emit
their musical notes while travelling
from place to place, and then only
when the wind ceases to blow and the
waters become smooth and quiet. Per-
sons who have heard the singing shad
say that the noise it makes is one hard
to initiate on paper, but that it is
something like
Wee no, he he do de; we no, die de
dun.
The singing of a single representa-
tive of this musical species of fish is
very weak, entirely too feeble to be
heard above the ripple of the waves.
On the Bolivian coast there is q sing
ing fish of large dimensions; another
makes his home in Japanese waters.
In all countries where they are known
people will not catch or eat them un-
less pressed by extreme hunger. -[St.
Louis Republic.

New Zealand Innovation.

The first election OF a woman to
the Office of mayor within the limits
of the British empire has taken
place. Mrs. Yates, the lady in qucs-
ton, was elected by the ratepayers
of Onchunga, New Zealand, and has
been duly installed. Mrs. Yates
seems to have taken up the duties
of her office with sublime confidence
in her abilities to discharge them
well. The retiring mayor, DR. Es-
son, presented her with the gavel
and asked her to bear in mind the
motto on the back of her official
chair: ''Bc just and fear not" Mrs.
Yates told him she did rot need to
be reminded of the motto, as she
had already carried it into effect in
her life. She asked if any man pres
ent could say that his home was not
better with a wife in it. 1t may be
there were men who felt otherwise,
but they discreetly kept still, and
Mrs. Yates triumphantly said that
the same was true of the city coun-
Gil. She reminded them that for
seventeen years they had tried gov
erning the city with mon alone in
power without satisfactory results,
and promised them that things
should ta different il the future.

In truth, it is not large proportion
of harvested crops that go back to the
soil, and in the nature of things the
amount that leaves the farm forever
must always be considcra ble. and yet it
is not for plain farmer like myself to
assert that our Creator made mistake
when he built up the soil as man has
found it. ] prefer to say that the soil
is bank in which nature has stored
and continues to store plant food, and
that for every unit of plant food put
into the hank by man he is enabled to
draw out on an average let us say. four
units. Had it been otherwise the hui
man race would not bc here to-day
studying soils and discussing the tariff
as the years roll by.
! trust that have not given the inn
pregsion that barnyar0 manures are
not valued in my sector. The supply
of stable and barnyard fertilizer is
made as large as possible by the use of
absorbents in the stable and open lot,
and it is even drawn by one good
farmer near me, distance of six miles
from town, SO necessary does it seem
to have more liberal supply of fertil-
izer if we would get good crops. Ma
ture does not work fast enough in sup
plying plant food, and while it has
seemed Improbable to raise stock
under our conditions, yet the value of
stable manure is in no wise undes-
estimated. All that is made is ased as
top-dressing, and it is our belief that
the chief function of manure, when
had in limited quantities, is to make a
manural crop like clover grow. No at
tempt is made to replace the elements
removed by any crops extensively
grown, of which potatoes, wheat and
hay are chief, but to furnish a limited
quantity of availa BILE food for the start
ing of plants. The wheat and potatoes
are by nature cash crops, and the ele-
ments contained in them are lost to
the farm Watching carefully to see
that the refuse of crops and the manure
from food supplied to horses and cows,
are given back to the land, we are yet
almost totally dependent upon nature
for new supplies of plant food. Then
let us see what we may fairly expect
from nature, and afterward let me ask
of you the question, are we assisting
nature in the best possible way?
