Shea Rode Down Mountain in Darkness

Shea. a Pennsylvania lumherman and

He was near the TOP OF the mountain

IMPROVEMENT OF THE

PROBLEMS OF ATMOSPHERE.
Air Constituents at Nine Miles Prac-
tically Unchanged.

LONDON, April 12.-Prof. Dewar, dis
cussing the problems of atmosphere at the
Royal Institution last evening, said that
its constituents TO a height of nine miles
had been ascertained to be practically in
the same proportion as these on the sea
level.
But his theory showed that there must
be continuous variation at greater heights.
Thus, at eighteen miles height, carbonic
acid should disappear; at thirty-seven
miles, oxygen, and at sixty-two miles, nj
trogen should be gone. Hence, it was not
to be expected that much change had been
detected in the samples which had hither-
to been brought down by balloons.
He believed however. that it would be
found possible to get samples by means
of balloons from heights of twenty miles
and more. Whether there was inter plan
etary atmosphere, or whether our atmos-
phere was limited to a height of some
fifty miles was a disputed point

TEETH IN THE ARMY.
Dentists Sent TO south Africa to At

After twenty-one months fighting four
dental surgeons have been sent to South

Thus does the war office put forth stu

In an army of 250. 900 men these four

GUILD OF WOMEN BINDERS.
Beautiful Specimens of Their Work on
Show in London.

There are some collectors who collect
books for their bindings alone. and these,
to distinguish them from book lovers, are
called bibliophiles. The true book lover
associates the binding with the book. and
loves them both in so far as the one Is IN
accord with the character of the other.
The true book lover will consequently be
likely to present himself at Sotheby S,
where the collections of books bound by
the Guild of Women Binders and by the
Hampstead Bindery are now on show.
1t is the second exhibition of work OF
the kind which the women binders nave
had, and this year the King, following In
the footsteps of his mother. has SHOWN a
practical interest in the handicraft which
the exhibition is designed to encourage
by buying five of the specimens. The hve
specimens are La Mouche" CA de Mus

gress To the efforts of,the first and most
distinguished President, 1.-The location, plan,
and success Of the Capital may be Justly
ascribed. Ii will be a deserved tribute
and honor to his memory to restore the
original and proper limits SURVEYED and
established under his personal direction
Regarding the fitness of the proposed
resolution. the Supreme Court has decided
that the question is cognizahle only in a
case between the United States and the
State of Virginia, and cannot be adjudi-
Gated between other parties. ,,If the court
decides Congress did not exceed its con-
stitutional powers in ceding part of the
seat of government to Virginia the con-
troversy ends. If the court decides. how
ever, Congress exceeded its powers the
jurisdiction of Congress. the courts, and
Commissioners of the District will thence
forth extend over the entire ten miles
square.
The people Of Alexandria county gen
orally favor a restoration of the original
District. Virginia does not wish to lose
more territory. The United States paid
s20. 100000 to Spain for a lot of foreign
islands and proposes to ray s5.000,00O to
Denmark for three little tropical islets,
so it may not be unjust to contribute
s1,000,000 toward the debt of the mother
of States II Alexandria county is re-
stored to the National Government.
THE Capital. the seat of general gov
ernment, is important, however. not only
to the people in Washington, and in Vir-
gin!a, but its preservation, its size, and
location and its welfare are rights OF
and affect the people OF the entire nation.
The interests of the people, from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and from Canada to
the Gulf and the detached territory.
should be fully and Justly considered in
the action on the proposed resolution.
1T may be urged. Why disturb a con-
dtion of dismemberment of the seat OF
government established for over fifty
years? In reply, it may be justly stated
there is no progress Of civilization. or
improvement of any description, that does
not disturb existing conditions within
lawful limits. II the object OF the reso-
luton is desirable for the Government
and for the citizens directly and indirect
ly interested, if it is entirely within the
powers and limitations of the Federal
Constitution, and II the resolution is ap-
propriate to the subject matter, it should
be adopted"

Sanitary Protection Needed.

Sanitary protection, equally important
to public welfare. requires that Alexan-
dria county should be restored to the
District of Columbia. Disease is carried
to the limits of cities in deposits Of
waste material not only communicating
springs and water courses used by un-
suspecting persons, but adding by exhala
tion to the other impurities of city air.
Fire protection in suburbs also makes an
extension OF municiral limits desirable.
1T is also reasonable that cities con-
troll the maintenance of suburban parks
and iriveways. contributing TO the health
and pleasure OF its residents. The cir
cumscribed limits of walls and fortresses
observed in the history OF feudal towns
should he thus brushed aside by the ad-
vance of science and civilization. The
principles applicable to the extension OF
cities generally become more important
" hen the seat OF government and capltai
of a nation are concerned.
so, disregarding the legal status OF
| Alexandria county there are important
| and practical reasons why II should be
restored to the District of Columbia. 1t
was urged in behalf of ceding part of the
| District of Columbia back to Virginia in
| 1916, that the United States had no prop
| erty or buildings in Alexandria county
|
| bridges across the river, and in addition,
| a large share of the lands, buildings, and

| property of the National Government
| IAN instance OF the necessity of police
! protection occurred a few years ago.
| Coxey's army came to Washington They
were ordered from the city and came over
to Alexandria County and camped, and
only moved when, upon application to the
! Governor a company OF troops bundled

ernment, the judiciary. and members OF
