V-hy Mountain Air in II Healthful,

It is we'll known that the chemical
condition of the atmosphere differs but
little, if any at all, wherever thej sam
pie is taken; whether it be in the high
Alps or at the surface of the sea, the
relations 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 in the proportion of its gas
eous constituents. i, One important diff
ference, however, is the bacteriologi-
cal one Z: =.
The air of high attitudes contains NO
microbes, and.Is, in fact, sterile, 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
increase. but other impurities, such as
the products of combustion Of coal, ac-
crue also. Several investigators have
found that traces Of hydrogen and Ger:
tain hydrocarbons in the air, and es-
pecially in the air of the pine, oak and
birch forests. It is to these bodies,
doubtless consisting of traces of essen
tial oils, to which the curative effects
of certain health resorts are ascribed.
Thus the locality of q fir forest is
said to give relief in: diseases Of the
respiratory: tract. But all the same,
these traces of essential oils and aro-
matte products must be counted, strict
ly speaking, as impurities, since they
are not apparently necessary constit
uents of the air. AS recent analyses
have shown, these bodies tend to dis
appear in the air as higher altitude
is reached, until they disappear alto
gether., It would seem, therefore, that
microbes, hydrocarbons and entities
other than oxygen and nitrogen, and
perhaps we should add argon, are only
incidental to the neighborhood of hui
man industry. animal life. damp and
vegetation.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale Preferred Her

A Chicago young woman who had

however, a large German woman, car
rying several great bundles, climbed to
the only seats that were vacant, and
filing one, herself. placed her bundles
In the other two, leaving the venerable
pastor and myself standing. DR.. Hale
smiled and took up one of the bundles

cupied. Then he dropped the bundle
In my lap.

velop he was heard to utter q slight
scream, but he reappeared and said there
was peculiar effect In the negative
