otherwise the diver might not be able to
maintain perpendicular position in the
water Air Is supplied to the diver bv
two flexible tubes. which are lined with
coils Of steel wire to resist the pressure of
water at great depths and also to prevent
the supply of air being cut off in case the
tube should be accidentally jammed be-
tween two pieces of woodwork in a sun
ken ship. Air is forced down the tubes
by means of pump and the diver carries
signal line by which he intimates to his
assistants on the surface the proper time
for drawing him up. Divers cannot de-
scend to a greater depth than 100 to 200
feet, and even at these depths suffer
greatly from the pressure of the water.

from flying off into space.
A limited express train making six
ty miles an hour without stopping day
or night would take seventeen days to
go around the world. We go around
the world once every day without be-
ing conscious of the notion If the
only motion of the earth was that
round its own axis, or, in other words,
spinning round likeTa top, we would
therefore be travelling all the time at
the rate of seventeen miles a minute
or seventeen times as fast as the fast
est express train. This seems a won
derful speed, but it is insignificant
compared with the rate at which we
are moving through space. In her an
nual circuit round Ithe sun the earth
travels 550,00O000 miles, or would do
so if the sun were stationary. But the
sun himself is moving at the rate of
probably over 100000 miles a day. The
earth must therefore travel about 70O,-
100000 miles year. or over 1900 miles
a minute, carrying us along with it
at this inconceiyable rate of speed
without waking the most restless
sleeper or frightening the most timid
child by the velocity of it's motion.

ONE OF MANY.

The earth in round numbers Is 5000
miles in diameter, or $4,000 miles in
circumference, and is said to weigh
about 100000, 900 900 ,OOO, 600, 600 tons.
Nearly the whole mass of our globe
is believed to be in a state of such in
tense heat as would melt the hardest
rock almost instantaneously, only the
shell or crust, as it is called, is cool
and solid. This shell is scarcely thick
er in proportion than that of an egg.
No wonder, then, that this enormous
caldron sometimes boils over, and the
molten lava bursts out through the
vent called a volcano.
The atmosphere which surrounds our
earth is supposed to be to a height of
forty or fifty miles. 1t becomes much
rarer as We rise from the surface un-
til at a height of six or eight miles it
becomes SO rare as to be incapable
of supporting human life. The benefit
we in common with all animal and
vegetable life receive from the atmos-,

the many ways in which it is of use
to us. There is always more or less
moisture in the air and this moisture

Always Emerson teaches the absolute
supremacy of the spirit. He is told that
the world is about to come to an end, and
he calmly replies that he can get along
without 1t. There are certainly very few
things in the world which almost anyone
cannot get along without it, with no par
ticular sense of depriva ton, if he adjusts
himself to that loftier view The visible
and the tangible have only the most fleet
ing values Life says Emerson, "is
search after power" Gaining the result,
the process no longer matters. If one abb
serbs and incorporates into his own soul
the message of a book, he no longer needs
the volume. If the beauty of a picture
is tranSsubst tantiated into his own spirit,
what matter if the canvas burns? He who
has music in his soul can live without
piano. Every force and every grace he
sees as the means to an end. and that
end is loVelineSS and power of spirit. If
the entire message of Emerson could be
condensed into one sentence, it might be
that the true philosophy of life is in let
ting go the non on-eSSentialS that one may
thereby hold the essential. 1t is the es-
sence, the thought. that remains. Events
become etherealiZed and live simply as the
idea which inspired them. To accept life
In this light is very largely a question of
temperament; yet also, to an increasing
degree it Is a spirit that can be cultivated.

THE PAuPER,s DRIVE.

Thomas Noel, author of the words of
this quaint song, lived in a romantic
home on the banks of the Thames, near
London, and among his songs is a pretty
one about that great river. The idea
of The Pauper's Drive was suggested to
him by seeing a funeral where the body
was borne upon cart driven at full
speed. The music of the song was COM
posed by J. ]. Hutchinson. Noel's words
are as follows:
There's a grim one horse hearse in a
jolly round trot-
To the churchyard a pauper is going,
wot;
The road it is rough. and the hearse has
no springs;
And hark to the dirge which the mad
driver sings:
Rattle his bones over the stones!
He's only q pauper whom nobody

are none;
He has left not gap in the world, now

you can:

He's only a pauper whom nobody

Body Heat.

That animal heat is due to combustion
was first recognized by Lavoisier, who was
unable to determine whether the COM
bustion takes place in the lungs at the
place where the oxygen is absorbed, or
throughout the entire system. Bertholet,
in a late paper on the subject, states that
one-seventh of the heat is produced In
the lungs, and six-sevenths in the system
by reactions of oxidation and hydration.
The temperature of the blood in the lungs
is raised by the absorption of oxygen,
while the return of carbon to a gaseous
state and the evaporation of moisture tend
to lower it.
