People Skim Too Much aud Understand
Too Little
Not long ago ! heard man declare
that in spite OF public schools and all
the opportunities for education, the
majority Of the people cannotread.
OF course, bis assertion was met
with all sorts Of protestations; and
then he explained that they did not
read understandingly, nor did they
select their reading with care and dis
erection; they read simply to be
amused and entertained, and failed
to make the reading a part of their
education. He claimed that this was
especially true Of women; that when
they read the newspaper they
skinned the portions devoted to light
gossip, and passed by the questions of
the hour, which were of importance,
and never thought of reading editori-
ais and reviews. This was too sweep
ing statement 10 be passed by with
out further investigation, the result
Of which has been to force the con-
clusion that in the main it had a
basis of truth, but that under the in
huence of women's clubs and current
topics classes the situation" to use
military expression, is improving,
and that women are reading more sys-
tematically and more intelligently.-

diplomatic bureau. During that
period many important international
questions have been discussed and
reached a satisfactory conclusion. In
many of these, naturally, he has borne
conspicuous part. As assistant sec
rotary of state he has immediate
charge of the consular service, direct
ing the more important part of its
correspondence and signing all the
official mail addressed to the consuls.
The volume Of labor required to per-
form this service intelligently and sat-
isfactorily is great.
Mr.. Cridler unites executive and lit
erary ability in an unusual degree. He
is not only personally able TO perform
an immense amount of work, but has
the facility of keeping others steadily
occupied. Mr.. Cridley is a positive
character, direct in his methods. quick
in his Judgment of men and measures,
and has the reputation Of being true
to his friends. His friends are all firm
ly attached to him.
His designation by the president as
special commissioner to the internal
tional exposition at Paris. of 1900.
was made shortly after the death of
Mai. Moses p Handy, and Mr.. Grid
ler's visit to Paris was for the purpose
OF completing Maj. Handys unfinished
work in connection with the participa
tion of the government of the United
States in the approaching exposition.
This was Mr. Cridler's fourth trip 10
Europe on official duty, his last being
with the monetary conference at
Brussels in 1892
Mr.. Cridler, unlike most diplomats,
is frank. blunt and plain-spoken. He
seldom conceals his thoughts, and
usually says exactly what he means.
His brusque ways are those of the
average American, and have made him
feared as we'll as respected by the for
eign representatives Although there
is more red tape in the state depart
ment than in any other bureau, Mr..
Cridler detests frippery and delay,
and would rather cut the red tape
than unite IL.

This is sure to give bad flavor and

elasticity Of Kid, SO that it may be
drawn smoothly and closely about

Perfect burn, color and texture
can be got in northern-grown to-

THE ATMOSPHERE.
Various Scientific Estimates of It's
Average Depth.

A'SAoSS DSPtAs
The Belgian royal meteorological
observatory has published the esti-
mates made by various mathemati-
clans and physicists regarding the
depth of the atmosphere surrounding
the earth. The calculations Of the
various sayants upon this subject are
widely divergent, Blot estimated
that the depth was only about 40
miles; Brayais, 20 miles; Mann, 81
miles; Callandrau, 100 miles; Schlap-
Arelli, 1876 miles; Marie Dayy, 1877
miles, while Ritter stated that it
reached a height Of PIG miles. In
Great Britain, during the early part
Of the last century, the depth Of the
atmosphere was generally accepted as
being AZ miles, but the factthat mete-
ors became incandescent at a much
grcqter altitude incontrovertibly
proved that this calculation was fall
lacious Sir Robert Ball states that
meteors have been observed at a
celsitude Of more than 200 miles,
and since they only become mean
descent when they come into contact
with the air, the calculation of Ritter
seems to be the most correct. Pub

NO PRINCETON PARADE.
Their Duty to Study Lessons Like Good
~ Little Boys.

Princeton, n. j.. Jan. 23.-The univer-
sity will not send a body of students to
Washington to represent it at the in
augural exercises on March. At a meet
ing of the faculty it was unanimously
decided to send the following letter to
the committee on arrangements:
The faculty of Princeton university
acknowledge With thanks the invitation
to send a body of students to represent
the university in the national parade.
We feel obliged to decline the invitation,
not on any political grounds or lack of
patriotism. but because it lies outside
the functions of the university to send
it's students away very busy time
OF the year to participate in public or
SC cial functions. The time which
students actually spend in colleges is
already too short In our judgment their
patriotism will be best nourished and
strengthened by attention to their pres
ent duties and by mastering the studies
which will enable them to understand
the principles upon which our institu-
tions are conducted
