THERE IS a vast deal too much of maudn sympa-

to be treated better than other prisoners are
treated and certainly ought not to be made heroes

to be done in strict conformity to the spirit of the

The Hiehest Clou1s.

During the past year committee
Of the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science has been en-
gagged in measuring the height of clouds
with the aid of photography. Stimuli
taneous pictures of a cloud are made
by two cameras placed 600 feet apart
and connected by telegraph wires.
From the amount of displacement of
the cloud caused by viewing it alter
nately from each end of the 6OO-foot
base line, its height can be calculated.
Some of the "mackerel-sky" clouds pho
tographed were IN miles high. The
Hottest clouds whose elevation was thus
measured belonged to the type known
as cirrus or "curl-cloud," the height be-
ing a little more than Enthusiastically

Big Steel Chimney.

A Philadelphia firm has just given an
Illustration of the advances made in
building operations by erecting a steel
chimney BIT feet high, in the remark
able time of ten weeks. This steel
chimney has been erected at the Ridge
wood pumping station, East New York,
and can be seen for miles as it rears its
slender stem high above every other OBJ
ject in the vicinity. Workmen are at
present engaged in filing the big steel
tube with brick, to prevent the heat of
the great chimney injuring the metal.
The chimney's foundation runs Is feet
into the ground and is built of concrete,
into which are sunk, to depth of Is
feet, steel rods two inches in diameter.
To these steel rods are bolted plates Of
cast iron two inches thick, and to these
are fastened the steel plates that form
the chimney. The chimney is % feet
In diameter at the base, tapering at the
top to eight feet, and in high wind has
about eight inches sway. A brick
chimney has = sway of from ~ to Is
inches.-N. Y. Journal.

Apple Dainties,

The plentiful supply of apples this
season, with its natural corollary cheap
ness, should make this healthful fruit
in common use in every household.
Physicians consider apples febrifuge
of great value in the autumn and early
winter months, when they are in their
perfection, and when the insidious
fevers are most apt to lie in wait for
their victims. For breakfast and
luncheon the fruit may be served in its
natural state, but at night, particular
ly if there are children in the FAM
lily, it should be cooked. The list of APP
petizing dishes that may be prepared
from apples runs from the homely, but
very good, when well made, brown
Betty through long range of custards,
buildings, pastries and meringucs.
Among these apple snow may be mem
toned as delicate and especially con-
serving the flavor of the fruit: Peel,
core and quarter number of apples;
set them to boil with a little water,
sugar, and the thin rind of lemon;
when quite done, remove the lemon
rind and pass the apples through a
hair sieve. Have some whites of eggs
beaten to a froth, stir them lightly
Tito the apple puree, a spoonful at u
time, until the mixture is of the con-
sistency of whipped cream and quite
stiff. Serve heaped upon dish gar
nishcd with lady fingers.-St. Louis
Republic.
