LoNDoN's ATMOSPHERIC.
Host Peculiar Aerial Composition Of Any

Host Peculiar Aerial Composition Of Any
City In the World.
Only by degrees are the marvellous DUAL
tiles Of our London atmosphere becoming
known. No city in the world can boast
such a peculiar aerial composition us that
which the Inhabitants of tho metropolis
harr served to them daily and nightly,
without money and without price, for
neither the government county council,
nor festrles have yet attempted to tax the
highly nutritirc air which We breathe
Most people think that our atmosphere
consists OF practically nothing. Quite u
mistake. 1t is both meat and drink A
paper contributed to the Transactions
OF tho British Institute Of Preventive
Medicine states that even in II suburb the
dust particles number 90, 600 per cubic
centlmeter i'll the open air and "A 900 in a
quiet room, while in the city-O fortu-
natos minimum the totals per cubic cen
timeter were 500, 00n when taken from a
roof, 800. 900 in q court and about 400, 900
In Il room. In other words, The air OF the
square milo Is 900 per cent thicker than
In the suburbs, which is in accord with
the general experience that fogs are both
moro dense and moro frequent over the
centor than i'll the outskirts. But what is
especially interesting is to learn that al.
though dust is the great carrier of micro
organisms, there is only one of these arti-
cles per $4,000, 600 atoms of dust. Thus it
Is calculated man could live in the me-
tropolls for 10 years and only absorb 49,
600, 900 microbes into his system from the
air, or about the same humber as he drinks
in half pint of unhoiled milk OF course
there are other serious objections to dust,
but 1t is something to know that there is
only one microbe to many millions OF

where Would VIC Be without q
Navy?

II we had no navy we might presently
ilnd the powers Of Europe considering us
as they are at present considering the
Empire of China.
We could get along fairly we'll without a
real navy so long rs we afforded a market
for the manufactures Of Europe. But
when we not only close our doors to their
manufactures, but wrest from them the
trade supremacy OF tho world, we must
DO prepared to fight for'it. We arc now
steadily and surely taking from England
the iron trade::of the whole world, and Eng
lands Iron is the foundation upon which
her rests. In common with Ger
many and France she looks upon us as the
one danger against which she will combine
with her own neighbors and rivals.
The difference between the United States
and China at the present time is that we
can fight but China cannot. How long
could we hope to continue to occupy market
after market with %impunity2 We do not
think that any one in this country has so
thoroughly understood this question as
iGoDKIN of the Post. He has never relaxed
his opposition to our navy for a moment.

The postage stamps made in honor of the
Columbus celebration several years ago were
not beautiful, and in the light of that expert
ence 1t is hard to see why there should be q wish
to make a set Of postage stamps to commemo.
ratio the Omaha exhibition now. The growth Of
the country beyond the Mississippi is q great
and splendid thing, but 1t does not necessarily
have anything to do with the decoration of post
age stamps. 1t is safe to say that a postage
stamp should primarily and solely suggest itself
as a postage stamp. 1t should not attempt to
overpower or annihilate the fundamental facts
in the cass. 1t ought to be modest enough and
small enough to leave room for the address.
II q proper postage stamp could DO de-
vised, and il we could have the faithfulness
to adhere to 1t, it is safe to say that at the end
OF O few hundred years it would be respected,
cherished, defended and rcverenced. What is
the use Of expanding SO much imagination upon
the postage stamp, all Of it badi The postage
stamp is q ANAL thing. and cannot bear too
much. The lanfinR of COLUMBUS is too much
to be displayed upon it, likewise tho burning Of
Chicago. Why should it DO sought to convey
all history upon q postage stampf Think of the
size of this country and Of the size Of its his
tory. A postage stamp should DO small. of an
agreeable color. with a simple device. With all
respect to those who wish to reflect the United
States upon a postage stamp, there is no
room on it for n buffalo, n tented prairie
wagon. CUsTER's last fight. or Pixies Peak. We
all respect these things; the truth 10 we respect
them too much to wish to see them reduced to
the limits of q postage stamp. Let us have our
historical pictures on broad areas. in the ample
panels of great public buildings in Washington
and elsewhere; but let us in mercy not crowd
the postage stamp.
The patriotic author of the "Leatherstock
ing" tales declared of our enormous white
steamboats, that they dwarfed the landscape.
In our artistic entry upon the limited area of
the postage stamp let us not be too ambitious.
Even when we are In the middle of n postage
