CIouds Without Dust.

For 20 years the assertion of Dr. Aitken, based on series of beautiful experiments, that clouds cannot form in the air without dust particles to serve as nuclei for condensation, has been accepted, but now pr. Aitken him self has made a little sensation by dis proving his own previous statement He has found that certain gases, such las hydrogen peroxide, sulphureted hy- drogen and chlorine, when present in the atmosphere, are converted by the action of sunlight into nuclei, upon which cloudy condensation can take place. Accordingly, although dust is ordinarily necessary for cloud forma- tion, yet clouds may form in dustless air miles above the earth. It should he added that when his originalconcl sion was published Dr. Aitken admit ted the possibility hat sunshine might creat gaseous nuclei, but he has only recently established the fact that it does.-Science.

 Suspension by A. A. U.
 Cambridge, Mass, Jan 28.-The sus- pension of the Harvard basket ball team by the A. A. U. has not caused the slightest disturbance to the Har- ward management All of the games on the Harvard schedule will be played as originally planned. Since the an nouncement of Harvard's suspension, Manager Wood of the basket ball team has had J number of proposals from various amateur organizations for games on the nights opened by the sus- pension, but there will be no open nights.
 The Intercollegiate Basket Ball league, composed of Harvard Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton and Columbia, agreed last fall not to register in the A. A. U., as they saw no benefit to be derived from such q regis tration. The Amherst college team which Harvard will play tonight, and which is not in the Intercollegiate league, telegraphed last night that they would play Harvard regardless of the suspension, and Harvard has had sim liar assurances from every other team with which she had arrangements made.

 Denver, Col, Jan 2S.-A quiet but de termined fellow pushed his way to the ringside just as the nghting exhibition between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jetfries was about to commence here Monday night and insisted upon seeing Fitzsimmons. He was finally success ful, and then drew papers from his pocket which he served upon him. They were attachment documents and the stranger was deputy sheriff. The attachment was issued at the instance of the Metropolitan Printing Co of New York for bill of $975.SS. The company says the debt was contracted for lithographing done for Fftzsimmons and Martin Julian. Fitzsimmons's $ share of the receipts have therefore been tied up and Otto Floto, manager of the exhibition, was enjoined from giving s'Lanky Bob' his slice. The printing company has employed Dem yer counsel and the case will be tried here. Both Fitzsimmons and his back CTS declare the service an outrage and will fight it.
