UPPER REGIONS OF THE AIR.

the North Pole.
Above there extends a vast unex-
plored space far more interesting from
scientific point of view than the icy
regions around the north pole. No one
can reach the limit OF the upper re-
gions of the air and live. unless he car
ries with him air to breathe and fuel
to warm him, for at the patry distance
Of ten miles above the earth the air
Is too thin to support respiration. and

II 1t should rise to such a height. A
person in a balloon could not bear a
friend in neighboring balloon. even
If they were near enough to shake
hands. There would be no medium
for the propagation OF sound waves.
There would, however. still be a me-

We live under a blanket of air which
protects us from the extreme cold OF
outer space This low temperature he
comes evident fourteen or fifteen
thousand feet above the surface of the
earth, and would, as have said, reach
a point far below zero at height OF
ten miles. At this height we should
no longer observe the twinkling of
the stars, for this scintillation is due
to the movements of our atmosphere,
which at the height ! have mentioned
would be extremely rarified. If one
could photograph the suns spectrum
at this altitude we could greatly ex-
tend our knowledge of the shortest
wave lengths of light; for the atmos-
phere completely absorbs such wave
lengths as are concerned In the X-ray
phenomena. That this absorption
really takes place can be proved in a
laboratory.
The heat and light which we receive
from the sun are greatly modified by
this blanketing layer of air. The long
waves of the energy from the sun are
called heat waves. The intermediate
waves are termed light waves, and we
receive these in full measure. The very
short waves, however, are stopped by
our atmosphere and are transformed
into-what?

"Of all the collecting fads I ever
heard OF, the key collectors are the
worst Of all" said one gentleman to
another. There are men travelling on
the road who have keys Of every hotel
they ever stopped in. In order to see
that they take no keys, hotel proprie-
tors place large checks, with large
brass tags upon them, and even at
tach them to iron bars; and yet the
key collectors put these useless, heavy
articles in their valises and carry them
away. know of one collection OF keys
that embraces a key that represents
nearly all the leading American and
European hotels. The cost of keys in
a large hotel is simply enormous. A
few of them are lost or taken by ac-
cident, but the most of them are car
ried off by key collectors"

FINANCE IN YORKSHIRE.
A Singular Contest in Which Only One
Party Was tho Loser.

n Singular Contest In Which Only One
Party Was tho Loser.
Here is capital story Of two we'll
known Yorkshire men which has never
appeared in print before. Two wealthy
natives Of the country of broad acres,
one OF whom was the head Of large,
existing West Riding firm, and the
other the hard headed founder Of
Beckett's Leeds Bank, met at a dinner
In the principal hotel Of q country
town. Whilst over the table, dispute
arose as to which was the Weather Of
the twain. At length the banker sug-
gested that the question should be put
to practical test, and the pair drew up
their chairs to a corner of the room
where a bright fire was burning. It
was agreed that each in turn should lay
on the Goals five pound bank note.
and he should be considered the van
quished who should first cry, Hold,
enough" This singular contest pro-
ceeded in solemn silence for a long
time. till at length it dawned on the
less brilliant mind Of the manufacturer
that he was having the worst of the en-
counter. The notes were those OF his
opponents bank, then universally used
in that part of the country, and every
time the manufacturer placed one on
the burning embers the astute York
shire banker was five pounds the rich
er, whilst each move of the banker
himself involved him in no personal
loss!

FAMOUS SOUVENIRS.
RELICS OF CELEBRITIES WHICH ARE
NOW WIDELY DISTRIBUTED.

An interesting relic is the cradle IN
which the Emperor Napoleon Bona

fes that this is the sleigh in which the
Emperor of the French made his es-
cape from Russia. The harness is q
wonderful piece of workmanship.
Queen Victoria treasures among her
relics Prince Charles walking stick,
the one which was mislaid by him on
the morning of Culloden and afterward
found in his bedroom. The handle of
the stick has carved upon il two heads,
one representing Wisdom, the other
Folly. The Queen got it at auction for

The Empress Josephine's piano is in
a London showroom. 1t was made in
1908 by order of Napoleon and present.
ed to the Empress. 1t was stolen dur
ing the sacking of the Tuileries and
afterwards sold at public auction. The
case is of the finest rosewood, orna-
mented with ormolin, while the keys
are made of mother-of-pearl and tor
toise she'll. Napoleon's taste is shown
by the fact that one of the five pedals
works a drum and triangle attach
ment.
The wedding dress of the unfortun-
ate Queen Marie Antoinette has been
discovered in the ancient church of
Kenuweg, near Vienna. 1t has for
many generations been the custom for
Austrian brides TO present their we'd
ding dresses to church for the adorn-
ment Of an image OF the Holy Virgin,
or to be made into vestments.
The mirror before which Gen. Wash
ington made his daily toilet has for the
last thirty-five years been hanging in a
house in Warrenton, Va. 1t was pur-
chased at the sale Of the personal eff
fects of Lawrence Washington, a great
nephew of the first President. The
glass is framed in gilt, and at the top,
in a background of white and black
enamel, is Washington's coat of arms
engraved in gold, with his motto,
Exitus acta pro5at.
Another Washington relic is a sage
palm belonging to the White House.
The present head gardener has looked
up his history, and verifies the fact
that it was presented to Gen. Washing
ton by Baltimore merchant, who got
it in Cuba when it had already OBJ
tanned a respectable age. The plant
was for long time at Mount Vernon,
but one day Washington presented it
to fair visitor who admired it. The
plant was an heirloom until about fifty
years ago. when with other things it
was sold at auction and secured by the
head gardener of the White House II
is thought to be 200 years old-older
than the Government.

A Hanging Scrap BOOK.

What is all that newspaper stuff

asked a man who writes for a living.
"That?" the man answered, pointing
to long strips of newspaper clippings
which were pendant from a gas chan
delier, directly over the desk at which
he sat, that is my scrap book. You've
heard Of the hanging gardens Of Baby
Ion, haven't you? Well, this is my
hanging scrap book. People generally
go on the plan that scrap book must
be neatly pasted full of clippings, and
then piled away on a top shelf of a
closet, or in the bottom of a trunk
where you can never get at 1t without
much time and trouble. Now, my idea
Of scrap book is one that you can
have where you want II and when you
want it; so have pasted these long
strips Of blue paper together, over the
cross bar of my old fashioned gas chan
delier. On these strips-as I clip short
newspaper bits relative to my work.
bits of prose or poetry, jest or philoso-
ply, statistics or other information, I
stick little dab of library paste. and
up the clipping goes. 1t is convenient.
and easily renewable; there is no
patent on it, and the hanging scrap
book will be found valuable to all
writers who like the things where they
can clap their eyes on them"

A novel way of discovering a gold
field was recounted by the agent gen.
eral for western Australia. In 1883
the Mallina gold field was discovered
by lad in this wise: The boy, in
picking up stone to throw at a crow,
observed speck Of gold in it, and re-
ported it to the nearest resident magis-
trate. The magistrate was so excited
at the news that he telegraphed to the
then governor. and stated that a lad
picked up a stone to throw at a crow,
in his excitement emitting to say land
saw gold in ii" So the governor wired
back these words, What happened to
the crown"

The NInIe,a Evea

The mole has been supposed to be
almost destitute of eyes, either through
disuse or because it has little need of
such things in its underground habita-
ton. The new idea is that it burrows
in the ground to get out of the light. It's
eyes are so constructed as to receive
only the impression OF light, and that
impression is painful or annoying to
the animal, which dives underground
to get rid of the disagreeable sensation.

The Archbishop of Canterbury Is
singular among the roll of English
primates for his hatred OF pomp and
decoration. Once, when the guest of
country clergyman, he was much an
noyed by the display Of silver candle
sticks in his room. After his Lord
ships departure these silver candle
sticks were nowhere to be seen. The
distressed clergyman at once wrote to
the Bishop. as he then was, telling him
OF his loss, and adding: Can you tell
us what has happened?" The reply
came by wire: Poor, but honest; look
in the chest Of drawers"
This is not the only silver adventure
in which Archbishop Temple has been
concerned. On another occasion he
was put up by a clergyman during the
absence Of that clergyman's wife. On
leaving, the host politely expressed the
hope that when next his Lordship hon
ored the house Mrs. Temple would ac-
company him. mo, thanks" the
Archbishop laconically replied: Mrs.
Temple doesn't like roughing it," The
clergyman's feelings were deeply hurt,
for the visit had meant some expense
and much anxiety to him. He unbur-
dened his soul to his wife on her re-
turn. Why. my dear" she exclaimed,
you didn't surely put the Bishop in the
pink bedroom, did your" He did. "Oh,

BE Careful How You sit.

Recently an eminent physician gave
utterance to the opinion that appendi-
citis is more common in this country
than in others because OF the Yankee
custom that men have-and men are
more frequently sufferers from the
disease than women-of habltually sit
ting with one leg thrown over the 9TH
er. This habit, the physician was
quoted as saying, restricts the action
OF the digestive apparatus, and es-
pecially the lower intestine, and
causes stagnatIon of the contents and
the stretching Of the opening of the
vermiform appendix, making it posi-
bic for distractions 10 reach the latter,
and thus giving rise to appendicitis.
There is no other disease, IL we may
judge from the attention given to It
by current publications, in which the
general public takes so much interest
as this one, which is comparatively
new to medical practice, Probably
much Of the popular interest is due
TO the fact that only within a few years
what may be called the literature Of
appendicitis has reached the reading
