The Atmospheric Conditions Here Do
 ot Come up to the standard

The Atmospheric Conditions Here Do
 ot Come up to the Standard.
 Prof. 4. E. Douglass made his first observations in this section on Sat urday night on reservoir hill. While, as already stated, he fonnd the other conditions around here per feet, he found the atmospheric con- dition on Saturday below the stand ard. It only assayed about 50 per cent. clear atmosphere, or, as he stated it, only came up to six points in ten. At Tombstone he found the atmosphere about eight points in ten, but other conditions are not equal to this. He continued his experiments last evening, but obtained no better results. The trouble is, that while the atmos- phere is clear and pure. it is of a. shaky character, or has an unfav- orable movement in it. He says it can best be described by the move ment apparent to the naked eye on a desert under a hot sun. He attri- butes this condition at present to the fact that surrounding mountains are coverad with snow, and the warmer air of the valleys coming in contact with this cold air, produces the quivering movement to the atmosphere. On Friday nig ht Prof Douglass made some very interest ing thermometer readings to dis cover the different strata of atmos- phere which occur near tho lower ground. One important condition for observations is toget above these as far as possible.
 On Sunday he took trip over the s. F., P. X P. railroad to Iron Springs, and took a number of views with his Kodak, and also took the elevation at several points along the road.
 In speaking of the unfavorable condition of the atmosphere here at present, Prof. Douglass states that while it does not come up to his it is not entirely dis couraging, and thinks it is only temporary, and can easily be ae- counted for by the prevalence of the south wind during this season of the year. He will continne his observations tonight, and willleave for Flagstaff tomorrow. He says he expects to visit Yuma and Arizola yet before leaving the territory.

Secretary Herbert closes his report in regard to the defective armor plate as follows: " Though the plates on which the-damages were assessed were not up to the limit of the very bess work possible, they were, nevei- theless, fully , per cont. above the limit of tolerance and are believ, d to be better than those furnishe d the ships of other countries, this because of the extremely high standard of excellence demanded by the specifications; so high, in fact, that the company was con- pelled to discard at least one-fourth of the plates made; moreover, it was fortunate that the company at the time was engaged on light armor and not on that for battle ships. The Secretary was also very pleased to state that no naval officer was suspected of any irregularities in the matter. Furthermore, Su- perintendent Schwab has been re- moved to another department of the works and the annealing put in the hands of Mir. Hunsicker. Ar engagements were made to have government inspectors on duty both night and day"

Miss Merrifeld's Mistake.

Miss Merrifield accepted the offer of Mr..
Brooks escort from Mrs. Symonds' recep-
ton. Miss Merriield adored Mr.. Brooks
and more than half suspected that Mr..
Brooks adored her. In fact, she hoped for
a declaration that very night.
Just as the pair stepped N the porch
Nh. Brooks vas called back by the host
ess. A moment later Mr.. Enfield passed
through the door, and seeing Miss Merri-
field apparently unattended silently offered
her his arm She, s%upposing him to be
MI. Brooks, took it eagerly, and they start
ed up the street together. Mr.. Brooks fol-
lowed, muttering curses on the ickleness
of woman.
A little before reaching the house of Miss
Merrifield Mr.. Brooks, still walking be-
hind, saw the young lady break away from
her escort, rush frantically up the steps
and disappear within doors, and his soul
rejoiced at these signs of a quarrel. Some
how the whole thing leaked out the next
morning, and before night the friends of
all the parties knew exactly what had hap
pened.
It seems that Nh. Enfield, piqued at
being called Mr.. Brooks by his absent
minded companion, had said, "Please,
Miss Merrifield, don't call me Mr.. Brooks"
at which she, confident the declaration
had arrived at last, had murmured, "What
shall / call you, dear?" And then the cruel
disallusion had come, why, call me Mr..
Enfield, of course"
Miss Merrifield is reported to have gone
south.-Harper's Magazine.

A Sensitive Tenor.

Roger, the celebrated French tenor, was
exceedingly proud of his profession and
was apt to take offense at the least slight,
whether intended or not. On one occasion
he was engaged for the sum of ESQ to sing
at the house of a rich financier, who thought
It the correct thing to have the principal
singers of the day at his house parties.
Roger sang his first song magnifcently,
but not the slightest attention was paid
him, the guests talking their loudest.
Presently the host thought that it was
about time for another song and sent for
Roger. but he could not be found and was
seen no more. On the following day Mr..
Plutus was surprised to receive from Rog-
er notes to the amount of ESQ with the fol-
lowing words:
II have the honor to return the ECO
which I received for singing at your par
ty, and 1 beg to add EGO more to make up
for having SO greatly disturbed the con-
versation of your guests. London Tit
Bits.

tended a funeral in Pickens county, Ga,
Of a poor man. They buried him in the
midst of a marble quarry. They cut
through solid marble to make his grave,
yet the little tombstone they put above
him was from Vermont. They buried
him in the heart of a pine forest, and yet
the pine coffin was imported from Gin
cinnati. They buried him within touch
of an iron mine, and yet the nails in his
coffin and the iron in the shovel that dug
his grave were imported from Pittsburg.
They buried him by the side of the best
sheep grazing country on the earth, and
yet the wool in the coffin bands and the
coffin bands themselves were brought
from the north. The south did not fur
nish a thing for that funeral but the
corpse and the hole in the ground.
There they put him away, and the
clods ratified down on his coffin, and
they buried him in a New York coat, and
a Boston pair of shoes, and a pair of
breeches from Chicago, and a shirt from
Cincinnati, leaving him nothing to carry
into the next world with him to remind
him of the country in which he lived, for
which he fought for four years, but the
chill of blood in his veins and the mar
row in his bones.

With the Regulation Results.
Some one threw red pepper upon a
large stove in Tappen's billiard rooms
at Patchogue, N. Y. The pepper started
the habitues to sneezing, and they
sneezed loud and long. The odor of the
burning pepper soon drove everybody
from the room.
The fumes rapidly spread through the
building. The Order of Foresters was
holding a meeting in the large hall on
an upper floor. The members began to
sneeze They sneezed hard. The chap
lain of the society tried to maintain the
dignity of his position, but he, too, soon
joined in the sneezing bee.
The assembly marched down stairs
sneezing at every step. They were soon
Joined on the street by lawyers, doctors,
editors, printers and business men, who
had been driven out of their rooms in
the building. The fumes were SO strong
that passe1sby had to walk OF the oppo-
site side of Ocean avenue.
The joke will cost Happen the use Of
his rooms, as the owner Of the building
has notified him to vacate within 10
days. Happen, it is said, will prose
cute the perpetrator of the joke if dis
