Where the barometer points, whether
II Is high or low, is not the important
thing. 1t is the fluctuations of the mer-
curry which are of Importance and must
be watched"
The barometer does but one simple
thing. 1t records at all times the COM
hight of the air above the place where
II stands. Barometers such as some
which are in use by the United States
weather bureau make an actual record
Of these variations upon paper wrap
ped about turning cylinder. If you take
one of these record papers you will see
that the line upon it is one like the
horizon line of a cross section of land.
Sometimes it undulates in long, low and
smooth waves, and sometimes it becomes
abrupt and broken into Jagged lines like
those of rugged mountains. Could one
stand outside of the air envelope of the
earth and with sharpened eyes watch it
as we can the waters of the sea, we
would be able to appreciate what enor-
nous connections these variations Of the
barometer record.
In the tropics, right under the midday
sun, you would see the air swell up
with the heat and the wave thus formed
would begin at once to make its way
toward the poles 1t would be a long
low wave at first and would affect the
barometer but little, but as it flowed
away it would meet with counter cur
rents, the Instructions of mountains, and
other things which would gradually trans
;orm that original wave into sea broken

about twenty miles. The great waves meet

Dirty. Ragged and Happy as King.

The insensate craving of book collectors
is illustrated in the case Of Rawlinson, an
English bibliomaniac who would buy
book though he had 20 copies of it, He
lived and died among bundles and piles of
books covered with dust and cobwebs.
The Spectator mentions two collectors
whose coyetousness increased with their
collection.
Mr.. Heber, the brother of the bishop,
bought all that came in his way, by cart
loads and shiploads and in whole libraries,
on which in some cases he never cast his
eyes.
OF similar disposition was the famous
Antonio Magliabecchi, who is said to have
lived on titles and indexes, and whose very
pillow was folio.
The old bibliomaniac lived in a kind of
cave made of piles and masses Of books,
with hardly any room for his cooking or
for the wooden cradle lined with pam
phlets which he slung between his shelves
for bed. He died in 1714, in his eighty
second year, dirty, ragged and as happy as
a king.-London Standard.
