The chemical composition of the at
mosphere differs little, if at ALL where
ever the sample be taken; whether it be
OH the high Alps or at the surface of the
sea the relation Of oxygen to nitrogen
and other constituents is the same. The
favorable effects, therefore, of a change
of air are not to be explained by any
difference III the proportion of its gas
eOus constituents. One important diff
ference, however, is the bacterologic-
al one. The air Of high attitudes con-
tains no microbes. and is, in fact, ster-
lie, while near the ground and some 100
feet above it microbes are abundant.
In the air of towns and crowded places
not only does the microbic impurity in
crease but other impurities, such as
the products of combustion of coal, ac-
crue also Several investigators have
found traces of hydrogen and certain
hydrocarbons in the air and especially
in the air of pine. oak and birch for

consisting of traces of essential oils, to
which the curative properties of GER
tain health resorts are ascriDed.
Thus the locality of a fir forest Is said
to give relief in diseases of the respira-
tory tract But, all the same, these
traces of essential oil and aromatic pro-
ducts must be counted, strictly speak
ing, as impurities, since they are no<
necessary constituents of the air AS
recent analyses have shown, these
bodies tend to disappear in the air as
a higher altitude is reached, until they
disappear altogether. 1t would seem,
therefore, that micrObe, hydrocarbons
and entities other than oxygen and nit
rogen, are only incidental to the neigh
borhood Of human industry, animal
life, damp and vegetation.

laughingly called me Calamity Jane,
the heroine of the plains, and the name
has stuck to me through life"
Mrs. Burk was born In Princeton,
Mo-, In 1852. Her father, j. CANARY,
was lured to Montana in 1865 by the
hope of striking it rich' in the new
gold fields. During the five months
trip overland Martha became an expert
rifle shot and daring rider. Shortly
after the family reached Montana the
mother died. and the father being dis
appointed, decided to return to Mis-
souri,. At Salt Lake City he too died,
leaving four younger children to the
care of Martha, then but 10 years old.
Employment was found for her at Fort
Bridge, Wyo, and she continued to ride
and shoot until her reputation became
widespread.
Her association with the soldiers
filed her with a longing to go on the
warpath against the Indians, and when
General Custer was ordered in 1870 to
make campaign against the Apaches
In Arizona she decided to put a desper-
ate plan into execution. She put ON the
suit of cowboy, clipped little off the
end of her hair, rode to Fort Russell,
Wyo., and boldly asked to be engaged
as a scout. She was accepted and
though her sex was soon discovered
General Custer let her off with a scold-
ing. She pleaded to be retained, and
as she had proved her ability, she was
retained ia the service and continued
to wear mans clothing.
1t was thrilling campaign, in which
she performed a number of daring mis-
sions and had several narrow escapes
Only once did she despair Of her life.
She had been trapped by two Indians,
but her workmanship enabled her to
kill one of them and escape. From the
Apache campaign she went back to
wyoming to join the expedition under
Custer, Miles and Crook. She fought In
the campaign against the Nez Perces
IN 1873, and was In various minor en-
gagements in Montana and Wyoming
during the following year. She accom-
panied General Crock as a scout in
1875 In the expedition to the Black
