When Edith Longworth entered the
Office of George Wentworth, thatyoung
gentleman somewhat surprised her.
lie sprang from his chair the moment
she entered the room, rushed out OF
the door, and shrieked at the top Of
his voice to Il boy, who answered him;
whereupon Wentworth returned to the
room, apparently i'll his right mind.
II beg your pardon. Miss Longw orth,'
he said, laughing; the fact was, had
just sent my boy with a telegram to

"Have you written to Mr.. Kenyon 2"

CHAPTER XIII.

Edith Longvorth, with that precious
hit of paper in her pocket, once more
got into her hanson and drove to Vent
worth's office. Again she took the only
easy chair in the room. Her face was
very serious, and Wentworth, the mo-
ment he saw it, said to himself: She
has failea.' ... ,as3 i,

Yes, there is no doubt about that,
especially the first three words: We are

make me think Kenyon has given up
all hope, and so there will be some diff
fculty in finding him.

to concoct a dispatch that seemed to

young lady. ''Be sure and make it

The celebrated chemist of the six
teenth century who argued that it would
be impossible for us to live on the
earth's surface if the atmosphere should
suddenly increase to twice its present
thickness could not have been far wrong,
after all-that is. if the experiments of
Dr. Arnott are TO be taken as conclu-
sive. In his observations ON atmospheric
pressure at the bottoms of the deep
mining shafts Of Europe, Professor Ar
mott has found that the change between
the readings of barometer at the bot
tom of 4, 600 foot shaft and one at the
surface is great enough to warrant him
in making the statement that air at the
bottom Of shaft 20 miles deep would
be as dense as water. Figuring ON the
same ratio he finds that if hole could
be sunk 40 miles into the bowels of the
earth the density of the air at the bot
tom would be as great as that of quick
silver. st. Louis Republic.
