HOW HIGH CAN MAN cor

HunaA Feet Win Probably Never PFsss
r, the Peak Of Mount Everest.
Prof. Ugolino Mosso, of Turin, has
made some interesting experiments ON
the effects experienced in ascending to
high attitudes. All climbers Of lofty
mountains are aware that at great
heights, such as the summit Of Mont
Blanc. respiretion becomes more or less
troublesome, the heart beats rapidly and
sometimes irregularly, and feeling Of
exhaustion, often accompanied by
nausea, Is experienced. These effects
arise largely from the rarity Of the air,
and since the atmosphere becomes less
dense the higher one goes, it Is evident
that limit must soon be reached above
which man cannot ascend. Prof. Mosso
made his first experiments on Monte
Rosa, next to Mont Blanc, the highest
peak Of the Alps, where he ascended to
an elevation exceeding $4,000 feet with
out serious Inconvenience. Returning
to Turin he made his next ascent, 20 to
speak, without ascending at al. In
other words, he produced an imitation
Of the rare atmosphere Of very lofty
mountain top by partially exhausting
the air from large pneumatic chamber
in which he had shut himself. When the
air in the chamber corresponded in dem
sity with that which would be found at
Q height Of 24,272 feet above sea level,
he suffered such i'll effects that he could
not carry the experiment further. The
height to which Prof. Mosso thus simu-
lated ON ascent is almost a mile less
than that Of Mount Everest, 20 that IL
seems improbable that man will ever be
able to set his foot on the loftiest peak
Of the earth.

A qpssr feed experiment. Z bsing
trisd at the Elmira rsformatory, IN Nsw
York state, says the 81. Louis Globe
Democrat. All civilised nations hold ouAI
some inducement TO thc criminal IN
confinement to sooner secure his release
from legal restraint. A certain amount
VI time IL always taken of for good BE-
havior. The criminal has often been
exhorted to this end by father, mother,
,,rother. sister and by others who had
his interest ct heart. His manhood, his
future, his ambition and his hope Of
quick release from confinement have
been appealed to. and in many cases in
vain. Now It is to the mans stomach
that the appeal IL to be made.
The proposed experiment contem-
plates somewhat enlarged scale Of die
tary privileges. increasing from grade
to grade, from lowest to highest. %
that within due and proper limits Of
indulgence Of the appetite by prisoners
in q prison reformatory for crime they
can out Ct their own accumulations have
the privilege to select meal by meal at
their pleasure, provided always that
they keep their expenditure within the
limits Of indulgence allowed by the
government Of the reformatory. The
prisoners. under the wagc-earning sys-
tenn Of the reformstory, as II u at pres
cnt, must earn their living and keep
q credit balance to their account re-
spectively, In order to progress toward
their release by parole. A prisoner. 70
maintain q credit balance. must needs
restrain, regulate and exert himself in
manner which accolnplishes and
shows his Improvement; but hitherto
the diet rate has been inflexible. Il u
believed that II more latitude IL allowed
and the prisoner has . chance Of tick
ling his palate occasionally with mince
Pie, juicy roast or other homelfke
dainties, he win be more likely to make
an extra effort to reform. In other
words, 4 he has an inviting menu I'd

Not DisioysL

A number Of years ago, in a section
where the methods Of holding elections
were notOriously loose, q man who had
in his employ large number Of negroes
was nominated for a municipal Office.
One of his workmen was an especial ia
vorite, and the candidate was good
deal surprised to hear that this partic-
ular employe had voted the other ticket.
Summoning him to the Office, he said:
"Jerry. haven't always treated you
well?"
"Fus' rate, boss. rs allus said dat,
has, bout de fines white folks dat IT,"
"Then why did you 80 back on me?''
"When does you mean?"
"At de election"

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.


Leweal, Admired the Genius In 1t More
Than the Moral.
It was the opinion of James Russell
Lowell, says Charles Dudley Warner,
in the Atlantic, that the anti-slavery
element In Uncle Tom and Dred stood
in the way of q full appreciation, at
least in her own country, Of the re-
markable genius of Mrs. Stowe. Writ
ing in 1850, he said: From my hab-
its and the tendency OF my studies I
cannot help looking at things purely
from an aesthetic point of view, and
what valued in Uncle Tom was the
genius, and not the moral" This had
been his impression when he read the
book in Paris, long after the whirl Of
excitement produced by its publication
had subsided, and Tar removed by dis
tance from local influences. Subse-
quently, In q review, he wrote: I'VE
felt then, and we believe now, that the
secret Of Mrs. Stoves power lay in that
same genius by which the great sue
cesses in creative literature have a.
ways been achieved-the genius that
instinctively goes to the organic ele-
ments Of human nature, whether under
Q white skin or black, and which dis
regards as trivial the conventions and
fictitious notions which make 30 large
q part both of our thinking and feel
ing. The creative faculty Of
Mrs. Stowe, like that Of Cervantes in
Don Quixote,' and Of Fielding in 10
seph Andrews, overpowered the narrow
speciality Of her design, and expanded
. local and temporary theme with the
cosmopolitanism Of genius."
