From the Chicago Record.
There's one girl in this town who will
never. never wear boomers again.
Like all women, she wasn't content with
a neat little riding skirt and jaunty Jacket
and sailor hat. She wanted boomers as
hideous as they make them. a vulgar cap
with long scoopish visor and a sweater that
made her look SO disgustingly masculine
that a sensible girl would enjoy throwing
her and her unwomanly duds into old Lake
Michigan.
This girl was an only daughter, a spoiled
child, who undoubtedly would get Pixies
Peak or country home in Africa were she
to cry for either of them. Therefore when
she said Il shall wear boomers" that set
tied the question for once and always
One night she and her father went wheel
Ing. Her admiring parent wasn't particu-
larry pleased with his daughters outfit,
but he thought: "Oh. well, it's all right II
all girls dress that way"
But this night little daughters wheel
broke down and little daughter had to walk
home. Her father happened to be walking
Just behind her, and as they passed be-
meath a bright electric light he caught a
fair view of his athletic child. He said not
a word, but entered a drug store and called
a cab. After they got home he merely re-
marked: IF / ever see you in those awful
things again I'll disown you"
She hasn't worn boomers since.

HOW THE DUST FLIES.
Patient Observation ON the Limit OF
Sight Under Varying Conditions.

Sight Under Varying Conditions.
From the Gentleman's Magazine.
The other day Mr.. Aitken laid before the
Royal Society Of Edinburgh the results of
$1,000 observations Of the density of dust
particles made in different parts of the
world during the last few years. This is a
monument Of patient observation, unfortu-
nately made in his search for health. 1t
must be kept in mind that the greater num-
Der of dust particles found in the air the
greater Is the condensation of the vapor
and the thicker is the atmosphere. The
limit Of visibility through the haze is thus
determined. Mountains are fixed upon
which are at known distances from the OBJ
server, say twenty, fifty and seventy miles.
If the nearest mountain is just visible the
limit Is twenty, If half visible the limit is
forty, If the third part only of the farthest
mountain is visible the limit Of visibility is
30. and SO on.
The observations were made at Kngair-
loch and Afford, in Scotland, and at Rigi
Kuhn in Switzerland. If these were abso-
lutely accurate. both as to the counting of
the dust particles and The determination of
the limit of visibility through the haze,
then the product Of the number of particles
In cubic inch, multiplied by the number
representing the limit. should be constant.
The nearer the perfect accuracy, the nearer
Is the constant thus determined to the av-
erage of the constants. For example, at
kingairloch, when the air was very dry
humidity from degrees to 10 degrees) the
number of dust particles per cubic inch was
1850 when the limit of visibility was 100;
therefore the constant (the product of these
numbers) is 2,36S, 600.
Now, the average for several hundreds of
observations, when the limit of visibility
varied from 13 to go, was 2250,04S which
shows the clo5eress of the observations.
Again, at Afford, with the same humidity,
the means of hundreds of observations
brough out ,99S, 1856 as the constant; and at
Rigi Kuhn the constant was 1887 1916 a re-
markedly close figure, indeed. This re-
markable result is sufficient test of the ac-
curacy of Mr.. Athens observations In
counting particles and in determining dis
tanceS.
