The Heieht of Clouds.


 Questions often arise about the height of clouds, and information on this subject is neither plentiful nor very definite. At the Simla observatory a series of photo grammetric measurements have been made during a period of twenty months. and the results are reported in the In dian Meteorological Memoirs" Simla has an elevated situation on a mountain ridge, and the observatory is placed at an alt1- tude of 7224 feet, which is above the or dinary lower clouds. Hence the observa- tions made relate to the lofty cirrus clouds the mean height of which. above Simla, in forty-seven measurements. was found to be 30. 40 feet. or nearly six miles. The maximum was SS. 40 feet. Of the thicker cumulus clouds the mean was 73O4 feet-over a mile and one-third-and the maximum 14S1S feet In the warmer climate of Simla these figures are natur- ally larger than would be given by av- craze measurements of the altitude of British cloudG

mODlle, Dec. l. Mobile Battalion 1st Infantry, Alabama National Guard, this morning fired solid shot for Colonel R. B. duMont and Iieu- tenant Colonel G. J. Hubbard, for their respective offices. While there was no opposition to either of the above named officers the result would have been the same so far as the battalion was con cerned. In voting for the Oysterman and the Trojan the commissioned officers of the battalion felt they were paying prop CT tribute to the commanding officers of the 1st Infantry. not only because of the love they bear them, but because of their efficiency to the military of the 1st regi. ment.

 Mrs. Green was a daughter of Mrs. g.. J. Ogletree, and January 14 last, she was joined in marriage to s. E. Green, a prominent railroad man of Atlanta. Her death is the more sad because of the fact that an infant but little over a week old, is left. A sister of Mrs. Green. Mrs. Ra- field, was at the bedside with the husband when the end came Sunday night at 11:S0 O o'clock.
 Among the floral tributes sent to the stricken home this morning was one from the young ladies in the car accountants office of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad where the dead wife and mother formerly occupied a desk.

AUGUST AND POWERFUL.

The Senate is to-day the most powerful single
chamber in any legislative body in the world.
but this power, which is shown daily by the
wide attention to all that is said and done in
the Senate of the United States, is not the
the part Of ambitious body. It is due TO the
original constitution OF the Senate, to the fact
that the Senate represents States, to the powers
conferred upon it at the outset by the makers
Of the Constitution, to its permanently Of or
ganiZation, and to the combination OF legisla-
tive, executive and judicial functions, which
set il apart from all other legislative bodies.
