Tides In the Atmosphere.

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor
responding to those Of the sea and nro-
duced twice daily by lunar attraction
nave been traced by NJ. Bouquet de la
6rye IN the barometric records Of sta
tions removed from powerful local dis
turbances. The recorded observations of
brest. St. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia
and Singapore give positive evidence ~
a regular ebb and flow according to the
moons position. The effect is slight
but measurable, the greatest atmos,
pherlc tide at Brest being shown nv a
movement OF one-quarter of an inch in
q water barometer, which is equivalent
10 about e-fiftieth Of an inch in tho
mercury barometer. The tide seems to
pear about the same ratio to the weight
OF the atmosphere hat the sea tide ba.rs
to the depth Of the ocean.

The Quaker Poet Had but Scant 1nstruc-
ton In His Youth.

nv So0ANA
ton In His Youth.
In his boyhood Whittier had scant IN
| struct;on, for the district school vas
open only q few weeks in winter. lie
had but few books; there were scarcely
80 in the house. The Il book he read
and read again until he had it by heart
almost was the Bible, and the Bible YES
| ALWAYS the book which exerted the
strongest literary influence upon hlm.
But when he was IA a teacher came
who lent him books of travel ard opened
q new world to him. 1t was THIS teach
er who brought to the Whittiers ono
evening u volume of Barns and read
aloud some CT the poems, after explain
ing the Scottish dialect.
Whittier begged to borrow tho book,
which was almost the first poetry he
had ever read. 1t was this Volume OF
Burns which set Whittier to making
verses himself, serving both as the in
~spiration and the model Of his earlier
poetic efforts. The Scottish poet, with
his homely pictures Of 4 life as bare and
as hardy as that Of New England then,
first revealed to the American poet what
poetry really was and how it might be
made out of the actual facts of his WI
life.
That book of Burns poems had an
even stronger influence on Whittier than
the odd volume of The Spectator which
fell into the hands Of Franklin had on
the American author whose boyhood is
most like Whittier's. Franklin also was
born III a humble and Woodworking fam
lily, doing early his share of the labor
and having but a meager education, al
though always longing for learning. 1t
is true that Irving and Cooper and Bry-
ant did not graduate from college, but
they could have done so had they perse-
vered, and Emerson and Longfellow
and Hawthorne did get as much Of the
higher education as was then possible
i'll America. But neither Franklin nor
Whittier ever had the chance; it was as
much as they could do to pick up the
merest elements Of an education. Pro
