Perhaps the emotional nature of music

Charles Gounod, the composer of Faust. !"
One day a lady, an intense admirer of

WEIGHING THE AIR.
A SerViceable Barometer That Anybody
May Make without Expense.

There is one atmospheric phenomenon
about which there is widespread miscon-
ception. When the smoke lies close to the
surface of the earth, instead of moving up-
ward as it generality does, many people
think it is because the air is heavy. The
same people will tell you perhaps that
damp air is heavier than dry air, for it is
on days when the air is damp that the
smoke lies close to the earth
On the contrary, damp air is lighter
than dry air, and it is because the air is
damp that Che smoke does not ascend. 1t
Is purely question Of gravity, of weight
If the lower stratum of air be heavier than
the smoke, the latter will go up; if it be
lighter than the smoke, the smoke will not
go up so readily.
The barometer is tho instrument used by
the scientists to determine tho relative
weight of tho air. AS usually made, it
consists of cup of mercury, with which
is connected graduated glass tube. From
the upper part of this tube the air has been
exhausted, thus forming a vacuum, ard
the height of the column of mercury in the
tube denotes the weight of the atmosphere.
The explanation of this is quite simple
The pressure of the atmosphere upon the
mercury in the cup forces the mercury up
into the tube, where it meets no resistance
because the empty part of the tube is a vac
uum. Hence the column of mercury will
rise or fall in the tube as the pressure is
greater or less.
Everybody is familiar enough with
weather reports to know that we have
thigh barometer on clear, dry days and
"low barometer" on damp days; that the
first indicates good weather and the last
stormy weather. But "high barometer'
means that the column of mercury is well
up in tho tube, and Glow barometer" that
it is down. We know therefore that as dry
air bears down more heavily upon the mcr-
curry in the cup than damp air, it must be
heavier than damp air.
a very simple and serviceable barometer
may be made at homc without cost. The
only things needed are wide mouthcd
glass jar-a pickle bottle will do-a clean
Venetian oil flask and half pint of plain
water. Pour the water into the jar, let
ting it come to within one-third of the top,
and insert the oil flask upside down in the
jar, so that the neck of the flask will Just
enter the water. That is all.
If the atmospheric conditions are favora-
BILE to clear, fine weather, the water will
rise in the flask; if, on the contrary, a
storm is in prospect, the water will fall
The air affects the water just as it does the
mercury in the etube.-Philadelphi Times.

1t Is now said that England if Nicar a.
qua will guarantee the payment of the
indemnity within fifteen days will retire
from Corinto. The Question naturally
arises why did not England grant tho
three days of grace to Nicaragua? The
answer is apparent A precedent has been
established, the precedent that might
makes right in the attitude of the Euro
pean governments toward countries in
the American hemisphere as well as in
the eastern. 1t establishes the right to
seize territory, to enforce any demand for
money that the strong country may make
upon tho weaker. 1t is q precedent to
which not only England, but Germany
and Spain may have convenient recourse
in the future. If there remained any
power in the Clayton Bulwcr treaty that
has been destroyed. There is nothing but
tho Monroe doctrine to stand between
England and the Nicaraguan canal, and
that doctrine with q Cleveland admins
tration back Of it would amount to little.
English diplomatists have again outwitted
the administration as they did when they
got a concession from Gresham allowing
British sealers to carry firearms ON board
their vessels, with the result that the eff
feet of the sealing regulations became
of no value and the Canadian sealers pur-
sued the work of determination as aggres
siyelY and successfully as ever.
