this afternoon that John w. Mackay

OF the air, along the route trayersed by high.
pressure current, and the oxygen with which Il
is mechanically intermingled. Such an opera
tion It must be noted would really amount to
combustion. When any substance burns-wood
for instance-the infammable part Of it COM
bines chemically with oxygen. A material that
is burned is oxidized. Hence a chemical COM
bnation of the nitrogen with its principal fell
constituent Of the atmosphere would really
be a burning process.
Now If anything OF this sort should ever hap
pen. the combustion would be confined at first
to the immediate vicinity Of the path Of the
current. But many things, like a stick Of wood
or a piece of coal. when once ignited. continue
to burn for considerable period, the fire gradU-
ally extending from the place at which IT began
until the whole object is consumed. In like man
ner MI Tesla suggested. II the earths aerial
envelope is ever set ablaze at all, it may keep
on burning until it is altogether converted into
something else. The best-knOWn chemical com
binations of oxygen and nitrogen are nitrous or
nitric acids, and both Of these would
doubtless result from conhagratOn Of the kind
here indicated. complete removal Of the at
mosphere from the earth would put end To

The fact that lightning is attended with
very high potentials and has been at work in
the atmosphere for thousands-probably mill
ions-of years without having produced any re-
suit OF this kind so far as scientists know. is
somewhat reassuring as to the future; but, az
ter all ii does not absolutely guarantee human
ity against the possibility to which Mr.. Tesla
calls attention. 1t is doubtful whether the volt
great as those which Mr. Tesla secures with his
new transformer Setting the North River on

UPROARIOUS APPAREL.
That Worn by the Young Man of the
Period Would Make Solomon
Look Like Thirty Cents.

Some hopeful people had an idea last sum-
mer that the limit had about been reached
in the loud colors of mems attire, in shirts,
ties, hosiery and soft hats, and that this
summer might see return to more placid
and subdued hues and patterns as a sort of
reaction. The advance styles in the win
dows of the haberdashers' shops indicate
that such hopes are vain and that linen and
things will this year. be even more startling
than last season, if that be possible. Some
of the shirts on display in the windows seem
to actually shrek through the glass at the
observer, and the width of the stripes is of
the general style and pattern so long popu-
lar at Joliet penitentiary. These converse
tional shirts have gradually grown worse
and worse each year until now the pessimists
do not see how anything worse can happen
than the things which are now on sale.
The red hat affected by the college boy
last year and it's side partner, the blue crush
hat, have rival this year in a pale white hat,
with the under side of the brim and also the
band of deep blue, making striking con-
trast of color, which seems to be what is
most particularly desired.
All the fashy patterns in hosiery, the
plaids, the reds and yellows and greens in
combination, are once more to the fore, and
when the young man of the period gets him
self up in all the colored trimmings he can
buy, with red and blue barred shirt and
cuffs, white collar, red hat and plaid
hose showing above his low ties, ba will
make Solomon in all his glory look like 80
cents-Chicago Chronicle. ..-
