Meet the Spanish Fleet.

Chicago, May 5.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Admiral Sampson and the fighting di-
vision of the North Atlantic squadron
are sailing down Porto Rico to meet
the Spanish armada and wipe it of
the ocean.
The blockading division of that
squadron, under command of Commo-
dore Watson, will maintain the patrol
of Cuban waters with unrelaxing yigi-
lance and keep Havana bottled up
from the outside world.
Commodore Schley's flying squadron
will maintain a vigil at Hampton
Roads TO be prepared to ward off an at
tack on the North Atlantic squadron.
II the Spanish fleet is discovered
heading for the waters of Porto Rico
or Cuba, Commodore Schley will sour
ry south to join Admiral Sampson and
take hand in crushing the enemy.
Far out at sea are the st. Louis, the
Yale and the Harvard, securing the
Atlantic for an early sight of the ar
mazda. They will soon be Joined by the
st. Paul, and the instant one of these
scouts catches glimpse of the enemy,
1t will fly to land, or to rendezvous
in the ocean, to give warning to the
expectant American seadogs.
The program is based on the assump-
ton that the Spanish fotilla, which
left the Cape Verde islands last Fri
day, is sailing for American shores
When it left St Vincent it was fol
lowed until sunset by n ship which re
ported it making about twelve knot:
an hour. IL that rate is maintained
the fleet will reach Porto Rico by Sat
urday.
Admiral Sampson sailed early yester
day morning. his squadron consisting
of the flagship New York, the battle
ships Iowa and Indiana, the cruise
Detroit and the torpedo boat Porter

Denver. May G-The commissioned
officers of Colorado's First regiment of

OF examination by the examining
medical board. The commissioned

Ii was stated last night that the
medical examining board will finish
Its labors tomorrow and that the reg
iment will be mustered in not later
than next Tuesday. Last night about
500 men have been examined. OF these
about twenty per cent. failed to prove
healthy in one way or other. The ex-
animation Is very thorough. Lungs,
heart, eyes, ears. toes. fingers are all
subjected TO close scrutiny. and made
TO endure tests which cannot fail to
find Il flaw If flaw is present. The
man who passes the board is in excel
lent physical condition.
Yesterday companies ID of the First
and Il of the Second regiments Were
examined. The percentage of failures
was not as large as that of other COM
panies, averaging in the aggregate
about eighteen per cent. 1t is antici-
pated that about POO of the men who
have volunteered will be rejected The
percentage is not considered large,
considering that many of the men went

The Lafayette was released in puF-
suance of orders which were issued py
the Navy Department previous TO hcr
seizure, but which had not been re.

facts are that on April 29th the French
embassy made an informal inquiry rs

some French passengers on board. An
assurance was given that, II TINS prlVi-
lege should be granted, the steamer
would be forbidden by the French con-

grass plant is an oxygen maker But
the worlds total annual production OF
oxygen is unQueStionably much less
nov han ii used to be, owing TO the
immense destruction of forests Incl
dental TO the spread of civilization. All
OF which being considered, there is
good cause for suspicion that the
earth's atmosphere is running down
that it is undergoing, as Lord Kelvin
says, " a steady loss of oxygen"
It is impossible to prove this o1hand.
Chemical analysis has shown that the
atmosphere at present contains about
20 per cent OF oxygen. The percentage
is the same everywhere. Inquisitive
persons have taken samples Of air from
various parts of the world; they have
even captured cold chunks of il on the
tops of lofty mountains and fetched
them down for examination. But,
though differing in density according
TO altitude, its makeup was always the
same. Now, if 100 years from now. or
a dozen centuries hence. analyses show
a less proportion Of oxygen, il will be
demonstrated that the atmosphere is
indeed running down and losing its
self-supporting power.
People who live at high attitudes are
always weak physically, the supply of
oxygen being insufficient. Accordingly,
if the atmosphere does actual y become
impoverished, it may be expected that
human beings of future generations
will exhibit tendency tC fesbleness and
lack Of vitality. They will be wobbly
about the legs, and indisposed to ac-
tivity. But. the cause of the u
being fully understood by that time,
measures viii be taken to increase the
natural production of oxygen by plant
ing forests and encouraging all other
kinds of vegetation.
The atmosphere, according to a state
ment made by Lord Kelvin the other
day, is somewhere between 16, 1000 and
1000 miles high. How different is this
conception from that held a generation
ago, which was that the gaseous en-
velope of the earth was only half a
dozen miles thick at the utmost How
ever, its density diminishes so rapidly
with the altitude that half of its entire
mass is below the three-mile level. AT
ten miles above sea level its density
is only one-ninth OF what il is at the
surface Of the earth, and its temper
ature remains at about 60 degrees be-
low zero all the year round. From
that point it thins off gradually into
the void OF outer space. Human beings
annot live for any length of time be-
yond four miles. he highest level
ever attained by mar was reached in
1898 by DR.. BerSon, who arrived in a
balloon at an elevation of nearly six
miles. He breathed oxygen, which he
carried along with him in a ami. The
loftiest mountainS-SUch as Mounts
Everest and Dhwalaghiri in the Hima-
layas, 5000 and $4,000 feet respectively
be climbed, because there
is not oxygen enough on their highest
slopes to support human life. The
highest inhabited place in the world is
the convent Hanle in the Himalayas-
$500 feet above the sea.
