WHY ARE MOUNTAINOUS so
COLD?

There is a story of a squirrel, which,
discontinued with the cold valley where
he had his home, set out to reach a mountain
top where, thought he, the climate must
be warm and genial, since that spot is so
much nearer the sun, the great source of
heat But on reaching the long. wished
for height he found that, although the sun
shone with clearer light, yet the cold was
more intense than in the humble home he
had left behind. He was well nigh frozen
to death, and quickly and wisely resolved
to return to the valley whence he came.
The process of reasoning which led poor
squirrel into such difficulty and danger
seems correct enough The only trouble
with it is, that like great many fine
spun theories, it does not agree with the
facts in the case.
How happens it, then that the nearer we
90 to the sun, the source of heat, tine colder
we find the air? 1t is because the sun
rays of heat pass through transparent
bodies like air, without heating them.
The heat passes directly down through the
air till it strikes the surface of the earth,
which is warmed by it. The air becomes
warm only by contact with the warm
earth, and by the radiation of heat from
the earth
But why does not the mountain top be-
come warm, and impart its heat to the
surrounding air? The answer is that so
great is the body of cold air around it, in
comparison with its own size, and SO con
stanily is the air around it changed by the
strong winds which blow there, that not
enough heat can be accumulated in the air
to become sensible.
But why does not the air, which is
heated by the contact with the surface of
the earth at the level of the sea, Use to the
mountain tops and warm them up, just
the same as the heated air in our rooms
rises to the ceiling and makes our heads
warm while our feet are cold? 1t does
thus rise, indeed; but as it rises it also
eNpends, because 1t Is not so closely pressed
by the superintendent air. SO by the
time it reaches the top of Mount Washing
ton, what was single room full of comfort
ably hot air has expended to the size of a
whole house; and as it has received no
more heat in its ascent, ii has become very
uncomfortable cold. The heat which was
sufficient to make it feel warm when it
occupied a small space, becomes quite
insensible when it expands to a hundred
or it may be a thousand, times the size it
was before 1t is just like mostened
sponge, from which water drops when it is
squeezed in the hand, but which appears
quite dry when suffered to expand to its
full size.

Extract from ClaribelS ESSAY on Wo-
man."

"Woman is no longer monger a mere
dependent on man. She is an indepen-
dent being, with aspirations and aims and
labor of her own. She has resorces of the
heart and mind that are all-suilicient,
without appealing to the affection Or the
intellect of man.
Under the changed condition of things,
evolved from advanced civilization, woman
need not look to love and marriage as the
purpose and end of her existance. She
can, if she be so disposed, live out her ex
istance. She can, if she be so disposed,
live out her life apart from man, enjoy

twaddle of lovers.

A STORY OF TWO DOGS.
Remarkable Intelligence Shown by One,
A Friend to a Drunkard.

4 man was lying drunk on the street
cred, and policeman finally appeared and
attempted to arrest the man. The moment
the policeman put his hand on the man
the dog showed his teeth and growlcd
The man walked up, and the policeman
told him he was arrested and to look out
for his dog.
The man said:
''Cully, it's all right; we are arrested. I"
The man was helped to his feet and taken
to the station-house and put into a cell.
The dog howled so and barked so much
and so loudly that he was finally admitted
to the cell, and lay down beside the man.
The next morning the man and the dog
were taken to court.
"What have you to say" asked the
Judge, addressing the prisoner.
Gully, we're sorry, aren't we ~ said
the prisoner to the dog. Tell the judge
so.n
The dog rose on his hind legs and
whined most piteously, looking in the
| judges face
What are you going to do?" asked the
Judge again
owe don't know, do we, Gully? Tell
the Judge we don't know
The dog looked in the judges face again
most piteously and begged.
81 shall let you 20 on your dogs account
You do not deserve such friend.
He is a Xoble dog, " and the Judge patted
the dogs head.
''Thank him, Cully-thank the Judge. y
The dog waggcd his tail and barked
ioyously, manifesting his gratitude in every
way
The man went out of court. and every
one who saw him felt, with the Judge, that
he did mot deserve so true and loving a
friend.
The other dog was a prisoner and on
trial for his life, but he did not conpre-
bend it.
His owner said that was not possible, for
the dog was gOOd-natured and loved
children. He had played with the boy
and thrown him down, but not bitten
him.
'Pull the dogs tall" said the Judge.
One of the lawyers pulled his tail, and the
dog looked around, surprised and greved.
Another lawyer poked the dog with a cane,
and the dog took it as the beginning of a
game and began to play.
81 guess it all mistake. This dog is
good natured and full of fun. He is dis
Charged" The dog and his friends went
out of court quite happy.
81 love dogs said little boy on
train recently. "Dogs love you. They
tell you so, too. My dog loves me, and
everybody knows it. He is sick, but
Christmas he played with a ball to amuse
folks, and never said he was sick. He's a
bully nice dog. He ways his tail awful
! love him, too, " said the small boy, his
face all aglow with feeling. He was not
pretty boy, and, on the whole, he was
stupid-lookng, but you forgot all that
when he talked about his dog, and you
wished you could see them together.

Piles is so common that
every other person you meet is
troubled with it more or less. 1t

be serious at first, but it makes
man sick-makes him nervous,
cross, irritable-unfit for business.
1t robs him Of sleep, takes his APP

yet he is careless about it.

We make less money on each pair

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-There is
much speculation as to who will be
President Cleveland's choice for the
United States supreme court bench to
succeed the late Justice Jackson, but
beyond the mention of available names
there is little of a definite nature this
early.
There are persons, however, whose
relations with the president are
of the closest character, who be-
heve that Mr.. Cleveland's first
choice will be Mr.. Olney, the Sec
rotary of state. It is known that he
places implicit confidence in the sound
ness of Mr.. Olney's opinions on all
important legal questions which come
before him, and that he fully appre-
ciates the great assistance Mr. Olney
has rendered him in the disposition of
the great questions that have arisen
during the last two years. Whether
Mr. Olney's residence in Massachu-
sets will render him unavailable is
not known. but it is the opinion of
many well informed persons here that
but for this objection he would surely
be the man. Next to him Mr.. Rufus
Peckham is thought by many to be
the most likely to receive the noD1ina-
ton. The. question of confirmation
will not be raised, it is said, as in the
cases of Wheeler II. Peckham and
HOrnbloWer.
1t is the general understanding that
no appointment will be made until
after the meeting of congress, as the
place is one of too much Importance
and dignity for q recess appointment

SOUTH MCALEsTER, I. T., Aug. To-
Deputy Marshals W. II. Springfield
and Stockton from Oklahoma, who
have been following the Christian
gang since their escape from South
Enid jail, about four weeks ago, came
upon their camp at shutdown about five
miles south of Wilburton, a small sta
ton on the c. o. & G. railroad, thirty
one miles east of here, and at the
order of Glands up" the four bandits
began firing at the deputies, who re-
turned the fire, which lasted about
thirty minutes, when the robbers
mounted their horses and fed, taking
one wounded and leaving one dead.
During the firing the marshals lost
their horses, and as they had no means
to carry the dead robber, had to leave
him and walk to town for assistance,
it being so dark it was impossible to
identify tie dead man, but they are
full sure it was Bob Christian, the
leader of the gang, who is one of the
most desperate men that ever terror
ICED this country. The balance of the
gang left in an easterly direction
Springfield has wired the United
States marshal at McAlester to send
more men and horses at once. A
special train will leave here soon for
the scene. A trial will be made to
trail the robbers with bloodhounds,
which will be sent from Fort Smith.

United States Minister DENLY Takes
Measures to Protect Americans. 80
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1O.-No official
advices have reached the state depart
ment concerning the reported destruc-
tion of American mission property at
Inghoken, China. It is believed at the
department that the place referred to
is identical with Su Ing, where
troubles were reported two days ago,
and this second dispatch relates to the
same incident. The acting secretary
received a telegram from Nashville,
signed jointly by the Southern Meth
odist and Presbyterian Missionary So
cieties' officials, confirming the report
of the outrageous character of the Ku
Cheng massacre, and urging the state
department to protect the American
mission in China.
Mr.. Adee has responded by telegram
that United States Minister DENLY had
already taken the most vigorous
measures to secure the safety of Amer
leans, and renewed instructions to
that end had already been mailed to
the minister.

JAPAN MUST TAKE CARE.
She Holds Dangerous Theories About
earching American Vessels.


Searching American Vessels.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-In the event
of war between Russia and Japan
the United States may find itself an
unwilling party unless Japan retreats
from position which she assumed to-
ward the United States during the
progress of the last war with China.
1t is not generally known that just
before the declaration of the armistice
which preceded the signature of the
treaty of peace an issue had grown up
between the United States and Japan
that threatened to lead to actual hos
tilities between the two countries, and
that a hostile clash was perhaps only
averted by the conclusion of the Chi
neSe war.
This arose through the assertion by
the Japanese authorities of the right
of search of American vessels. They
insisted that they had the right to
board an American vessel and if they
chose, to take from her any Chin csc or
enemy they might find, even though
they were but passengers. Minister
Dun promptly denied the existence of
such rights on the part of a com Blatant
and a red-hot correspondence ensued.
This fact came out after the conclu-
sion of the armistice, which fortunate
ly occurred at this point of the nego-
tiations, thereby preventing an Incl
dent that would certainly have led to
war, but the significant point is that
since that time the Japanese have
steadily chung to the same contention,
promising serious troubl in the event
of another war in the East.
