It is a combination of three big shows in one. strong dramatic company, fifteen col ored jubilee singers. three thorough bred race horses and a we'll known trained sleep-waiking donkey.

The company is one of the strongest ever collected for melo-dramatlc production; among them are Katie Rooney, late star of the Rooney family. that quaint little em- bodiment of merriment in a delight fully unique role. as well as in imita- tions of her father, Pat Rooney; Dolly Theobald, one of Rice's "l492" beauties, has prominent part and will be given lot of opportunity for a clever spe- cialty, as will Daisy Dixon. we'll and favorably known as the pretty kan garoo dancer with the "Dr. Bill'' com pany.

Attitudes at Which the Mean Tem"e' a-
 lure is Probably i,5oO Degees Below
 Zero. [From the Rochester Union and Advertiser.
 One of the balloons sent up from the Union office yesterday ascended to a considerable height and was then blown toward the southwest by the wind. It attracted a great deal of attention, and two gentlemen who were watching 1t sail away got into a discussion in- volving the question of the height above the earth's surface at which a human being could live and breathe and the temperature and the conditions of the atmosphere at different attitudes. A re- porter heard the discussion and this morning asked Weather Observer White for information on the subject. MT. White gave an exhaustive talk on the temperature and the pressure of the air at different heights, during which ue Sdlu III part.
 "The air which we breathe and which envelopes this whole earth is composed of oxygen parts, nitrogen 2 parts, and vapor pressure from 100 per cent. to one- tenth of one per cent. The air is held upon the earth's surface by the attrac- tion of the earth itself. The tendency of the earth's revolution upon it's own axis is to throw this air into space, and as the attraction of the earth for all particles of liquids, gases, or solids de- creases as the square of the distance increases, the attractive force over- comes the repellant force at all points within distance of 25,O00 miles of the earths center. Consequently that point is where the centrifugal force equals the centripetal and the point where air ceases to exist Beyond that point there is an absolute void, with the ex- ception of ozone and ether. Now we have reached Q point where all matter is absent. What the temperature of this space is is matter of doubt. There is no motion there. a3.
 "About two hundred miles above the earth we find actual, approachable air, which can be measured with the barom- eter. It contains all the ingredients of the air at the eartl1's surface. There Is very little motion at this height, The temperature is exceedingly low. being probably about 1,500 degreea below zero. At twenty miles above the earth's sur face we find different quantity of air. which can be more easily measured by a barometer, has perceptible motion. chiefly due to radiation, and contains animalculae, vegetable matter and min- eraT matter The temperature is very low, probably 500 degrees below zero.
 At ten miles above the earth's sur face the air has actually been measured in quantity, quality, vegetable, mineral. and animal matter. Here motion 'is very perceptfble. there being more than at the earth's surface. It is coatlnually moving from the west.

heard a story the other day of TINT
now rare official, an old fashioned clergy
man. He is settled over no church, but
having been for a long time i'm one parish
he has performed the marriage ceremony
for two generations, and baptized as many
and is always asked either TO tCnder the
last rites to the dead or at least to assist
in that solemn office.
He is always very comforting to the
mourners, for the departed IT, sure ol
heaven. But as he grew older bis prayers
grew longer and tiresome. One day the
mother OF a little family died suddenly
and the bereaved husband sent for their
regular minister and said:
II must invite old DR.. Blank for he
married us, and my wife loved him, but T
can't endure his remarks want you 20
give him q small part Of the service to
save his feelings"
The pastor thought he must give his
senior the prayer but judge Of his chagrin
when the old gentleman, after fulsome
panegyric of the deceased, said
