WHERE PURE AIR IS FOUND.
In High Places and Far Away from
the Es.t: and Smoke of
Cities.

t., Chemical composition of the at
mo. phere differs little, if at all,
wherever the sample be taken;
whether it be on the high Alps or at
the surface of the sea the relation of
oxygen to nitrogen and other con-
stituents is the same, says a scientific
authority. The favorable effects,
therefore, of a change of air are not
to be explained by any difference in
the proportion of its gaseous con-
stituents. One important difference,
however, is the meteorological one.
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, accrue also. Several investl-
gators have found traces of hydro
gen and certain hydrocarbons in the
air and especially in the air of pine,
oak and birch forests. 1t is to these
bodies. doubtless, consisting of traces
of essential oils, to which the curative
properties of certain health resorts
are ascribed.
Thus the locality of fir forest is
said to give relief in diseases Of the
respiratory tract. But, all the same,
these traces of essential oil and aro-
matte products must be counted,
strictly speaking, as impurities, since
they are not necessary constituents
of the air. As recent analyses have
shown, these bodies tend to disap-
pear in the air as n higher altitude
is reached, until they disappear alto
gether. 1t would seem, therefore, that
microbe, hydrocarbons and entities
other than oxygen and hydrogen,
and perhaps, we should add argon,
are only incidental to the neighbour
hood of human industry, animal life,
damp and vegetation.

FOR PORTIONLESS GIRLS.
Old Bachelor Who Lea Fund FOR
lowering Deserving
DaElNrls.

Trustees of an old bachelors fund
for dowerIess girls in New Orleans,
who recently decided to change the
spirit, if not the letter, OF the testa-
tors provisions had precedent in the
case of John Anderson, citizen Of
Glasgow and Manchester. Like the
New Orleans donor, he was bachelor,
commonly reputed to have been
CROSSED in love" He left $4,000 and
his blessing for "a fund to be formed,
having for its object the lowering of
deserving damsels." Candidates must
be able to read and write, to sew and
cook and to sing and dance well. Ilav-
ing proved themselves proficient in
these attributes, candidates were to
receive Sll0 on their wedding days.
Circumstances were found to necessi-
tate placing some restrictions about
this bounty. for INSCRIPTIONS iudi-
vlduals schemed to secure the dover
more than once.
The corporation of the city of Lon
don is intruSted with the adminstra-
ton of Signor Pasquale Favoli's be
quest for portionless girls. "Three
poor but honest girls" are endowed
annually in sums according to their
merits, as the "worshipful gentlemen
may think fit"
Chance decides who are the re
cipients, the fortunate trio being Sc
lected by lot. Any girl over 16 and un-
der 25 may become IA candidate, and
may repeat again till the age limit dis
qualities her, but the young women
have to submit duly certified birth GER
tificates, SO as to obviate any charge
of "intent to defraud."

PUBLIC GIBBETS IN ENGLAND.
They Were Frequently Seen by Tour
lists n Century Ago with Bodies
Swinging.

Even if the bicycle had been invented
100 years ago touring could hardly
have become very popular, at all events
for solitary cyclists. The old guide
books were by no means cheerful read
ing. A run from London to East Grin
stead, a distance of five or six and
twenty miles, would have taken the
wheelman past three gibbets, and it
was Just as likely as not that from
one or the other of them body would
be swinging in the wind. Up till the
beginning of the century just closed
the gallows was almost as frequent
a landmark as finger posts or public
houses have become now, says the Lon
don News.
The traveller approaching York is
directed by the guidebooks to turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out to Durham
is "between the gallows and Croke-
hill" Going out of Wells you "cross
the brook and pass by the gallows."
Any number of such directions can be
CLEANED from the old books for the
guidance of travellers 100 years ago,
and as these interesting objects were
put up and the dead bodies of malefac-
tors left upon them for the special edi-
fication of footpads and highwaymen
there was suggestiveness about them
that must have given a special piqnancy
to cycle touring if it had been in vogue

IT was as firm as permanent founda-

WILL MEASURE THE WIND.
EngIishman's New Instrument for
Recording Velocity and Direc-
ton of Currents.

An ingenious instrument has been
invented by Mr.. Il. NJ. Lowne, of Cat
ford, whereby the velocity and di-
rection of the wind may be accu-
rately registered by means of cleo
tricity. The instrument is an adap-
tation of vane and thermometer com
bined, and the record is automatic
ally made on paper ribbon-the
indicating instrument being connect
ed by electric wires with the yane
and thermometer. The direction of
the wind is continually shown by
well-defined single pencil line, and
the changes to eight points on the
compass and their duration are also
recorded in the same way, says the
London -onicle.
Anot pencil line indicates tenths
of mills and miles of velocity, and
the maximum velocity (and when it
cccurred) can also be seen at n
glance. Mr.. Lowne claims that the
apparatus, which he has kept work
ing for over a year, is most success
full in every way and withstands all
changes of weather. Everything -
perfectly automatic in action and
the battery power required is very
small. The records shown by means
of Mr.. Lowne's Instruments cannot,
he states, be obtained by means of
any other apparatus in existence.
Mr.. Lowne told a newspaper rep
rescntatiyc that it will be quite pos

DISTEMPER IN DOGS.
4 Prof. Copeland Has Discovered
That II Is Caused by the
Nicrube.

The last number of the Proceedings
of the Royal Society contains "A de-
scription of Prof. Copeland's success
full investigation as to the cause of
Gistemper in dogs. AS a result of his
efforts, he has isolated specific mi
cro-organism to which the disease is
due. This micro-organiSm, small
cocco-bacillus, grows readily in all
common culture-media at the temper
allure of the body, and is obtained
from the eXudations from the lungs,
the tracheal mucuS, and the nasal Sc
cretions of dogs suffering from the
disease. A cubic centimeter of a
broth-culture of these microbes, in
jected beneath the skin of the abdo-
men in dog weighing Is pounds, in
duces an attack of diStemper, which
terminates fatally in week from the
date of incubation. A vaccine neccs-
sary to protect dogs from the disease
has also been prepared, and is said to
be ef1icacious. This vaccine is OBJ
tanned by heating a broth-culture of
the bacillus at a temperature of go de-
grees Cent. for 30 minutes, with
the subsequent addition of a small
quantity of carbolic acid. Two cubic
centimeters of this vaccine have been
found sufficient, when injected. to
ward off the disease from fox-terriar
pups weighing five pounds which had
been exposed to infection. The length
of time vaccinated dogs remain inn
mune has still TO be ascertained. Tests
on large scale are at present being
conducted.

That rapidly developing territory

stage of partial development which gives
great opportunity to bring it tothe high
est point of perfection and prosperity.
good roads and other improve
ments are going in. All that is needed
is small capital. Drawn and brain
by push and energy will
do the rest. The iron ore, mari, kaolin
and clay beds, the timber and the rich
soil, give equal opportunity to the settl-
