The Summer Season.

When one reflects upon the delightful weather which pre- vailed so generally in October, says Four-Tfack News, and the even more perfect weather in No. vember, it naturally calls forth the query, "why do we call the sum- mer season from July to Sep tember 1w It is absurd! June and Septemberr-even October and often November gives us more delightful weather than July and August. I, for one, vote unani- mously for longer summer sea. son, for a fuller period in which to enjoy the beauties of nature, for nature is so varied in her moods, and so lavish with her charms that she deserves more of our attention, and the more atten- tion we bestow the more we learn to admire her every phase and fancy, and the more we admire the better off we are, for every in fuence which nature exerts is for the good.

New Calculation.

Prof. See has watched the duration of the blue sky after dark, and found 1t to continue for about an hour and Is min- utes, and from this he shows that our atmosphere extends to height of fully l30 miles. Astronomers have usually found the height of the atmosphere by computing the height of the meteors, but none have made the height of the atmos- phere over 100 miles. The study of the blue color of the sky thus proves also that our atmosphere extends consider ably higher than scientists have hereto fore supposed. On our dark days the blue color of the sky is shut out by clouds, and combinations of colors due to refectiDg clouds and countless myriads of particles in the ethereal re gions high above the earth give ths bright light which is so much relished in daily life.

MONEY IN MAINE sKUNKS
They Are Worth as Much as All the Deer Killed in That State
 In Season.

It will no doubt surprise many peo. pie who learn that the despised skunk Is worth twice as much to Maine as Is the much-admired honey bee, but such Is the fact; and, counting things at their actual worth, the skunk is worth about as much as all the deer killed in Maine in season, says the Philadel- phia Record. The skunk is valuable both for his fur and for the oil that ia in him. and both the oil and the fur are in ever-increasing demand.
 Fashions in furs regulates the price of skunk skins. Four years ago the coat of dark skunk was worth $2. to three dollars. and the demand ex- ceeded the supply. Since then tho muskrat has come into favor. and the price of skunk skins has fallen to about two dollars for the best. When, how ever. there are . dozen fat skunks to be had on every acre of meadow land, when g hardwood club is the only weapon needed for killing them, and when every fat skunk contains at least . quart of oil. worth five dollars a gallon at wholesale, there Is money in the business.
 Most of the skunk belts are shipped to Philadelphia firm, where they are made up into furs for export to France and Germany, in whcih coun- tries they pass as monkey skins. It ia estimated that Maine's revenue from skunks amounts to $150.0OO or $175, 5,O00 annually, which is double the sum de- rived from all the honey bees in the state, and certainly more than all the 5000 deer shot are worth to the men who kill them. From 100000 to 150.- 900 skunks are killed in Maine every fall.
 The demand for oil Is steadily in. creasing, and the price has advanced 50 cents to one dollar a gallon within a year. The natives prize the oil for its virtues as cure for rheumatism and stin joints, and large quantities of it are bought by country traders and sent to druggists out of the state
 It Is estimated that the annual pro- auction of skunk oil in Maine exceeds 26,000 gallons and the quantity is in- creased by adulteration with the fatty oils obtained from hens and wood chucks, a deception which has proved most profitable to the skunk magnatea

NOT THE ORIGINAL BOAT.
Shell Seen by Visitors at Columbia Not the One in Which Her
 Crew Won at Henley.

Columbia students and gradu. ates will be disappointed to learn that the old shell hung in the uni vers;- trophy room on Morning side Heights is not the original boat in which the Columbia crew won the Visitors Challenge cup at Henley in 1878. The shell, says the New York Sun, occupies the most prominent position in the room and has been pointed out to every visitor as the only American boat manned by college crew to win at Henley.
 The first doubt as to the authen- ticity of the boat was expressed several months ago by Francis Sedgwick Bangs, a trustee of the university, who has always been prominent in Columbia's rowing interests. Subsequent investiga. tions have shown that on the day before the Henley crew sailed for America Capt. Goodwin sold the two shells which Columbia had taken to England to Cambridge university, where they were used till a very few years ago, when they were broken up.
 There is some consolation for the Columbia men in the fact that the oars used by her crew in this race, which are also on view in the trophy room, are the real ones brought back by the crew and sub- sequently presented to the uni yersity.

ONLY A RIVER WHITEFIsH.
Story of Man Who Knew Fish When He Saw Them, Also Rail-
 road 'sAd."

William c. Harris, angling ed itor of Outing, and rightly called the Izaak Walton of America, is a man who can come pretty near to telling exactly what fish you will find in Blank brook, in Blank township of Blank county, Idaho, Texas or Rhode Island. New fish es and new facts about them, he loves as a miser loves gold, only he does not hoard them, but gath CTS them to give out again.
 One day Harris chanced to be in St. Paul. He was talking with General Passenger Agent Charley Fee, who said Harris should go to Montana to catch grayling in a stream at that time much adver. tised.
 Harris said there were no gray ling in the stream. The railroad man laughed at him as a New Yorker who pretended to know more about certain Montana river than man who had fishedit.
 The dispute waxed warm. Har- ris was due in New York on n certain day, and by taking the first train west he could have six hours on the stream and still keep his en- gagement. In 36 hours he was on the stream with a local represen- tative of the railroad. He waded in, made one cast, and was fast to a silvery thing that tore about nightly like that ofa grayling. It came to the net, and the local representative of the railroad fairly shouted:
 s'There, there; it's graylingw
 "Pack this carefully in moss," said Harris. "Send it to your gen. eral passenger agent" Then he walked to the telegraph office and wired that official:
 "Am sending one of your gray ling. It's an internal old river whitefsh."
 Then he took the train for New York and kept his engagement.

SIGNS or EARLY SPRING.
Some 0ssn by Prof. Won Jogglsby from His Study Window
 Backyard Scenes.

"I know when spring is at hand," said Prof. von Joggleby, according to the New York Sun, sby the things I see in the range Of backyards in view from my study window.
 "ln the sheltered corner of some of these yards, where it is pro- tected from the cold winds and where 1t gets not only the direct, but from the sheltering fences, the reflected rays of the advano- ing seasons warmer sun, the grass begins to grow green while yet there may be in other parts of the yard patches of snow and ice. The eager grass responds to the first call of spring.
 "And so do the dwellers in the houses to which these yards are at- tached. On that same day in some of these yards there were people out raking up the winters debris; {; the scraps and pieces of paper, and the twigs and the sticks, left on the ground after the melting away of it's winter covering. They had sensed the approach of spring and they were cleaning up; and on the first occasion, anyway, they were moved no doubt not so much by a desire for neatness and trim ness in their several yards as by an inward prompting to get back to them once more; to mother earth.
 "it doesn't matter to me what the ground hog may say, or how many other indications may point, I always know when spring is at hand by these two signs, by the coming green of the tufts of grass in the sheltered corners of my back yard, and by the appear ance of my neighbors at work cleaning up."

MAKING OF OXYGEN.
Interesting Process Known to But Few Professional Men and No
 Ordinary MortaIs.

The manufacture of oxygen-or more properly its separation from the atmos- phere we breathe-is an intensely in- professional men and scarcely known at all by the ordinary mortal, says a scientific paper. A plant for the manu- facture of oxygen to be used in charg- Ing its distilled water was put in opera ton recently at an ice plant ln Los An- geles, Cal
 Oxygenated water Is now being pre- scribed by physicians in certain dis eases, and hence cheap and simple method of separating the oxygen in tho atmosphere becomes a matter of im- portance. The process employed py the Los Angeles company is based on the principle that a certain chemical com- pound-manganate of soda-readily parts with the oxygen 1t contains whep subjected to the action of jet oS steam. A blast of air on the residnum reforms 1t into manganate O. soda, this chemical possessing the peculiar prop erty of absorbing oxygen from the att mosphere, parting with 1t when ex- posed to steam and being reformed again upon exposure to the air. The process may be continued indefinitely, when the ingredients are placed in the retort and proper connections for air and steam made. No more chemicals are required. It may be likened to dip- ping sponge in water, squeezing 1t dry, and then repeating the operation indefinitely.
 Oxygen made by this process. it is claimed, contains no gas other than oxy- gen and no elements of any descrip- ton other than slight traces of atmos- pheric nitrogen. Hence 1t requires no washing to free 1t from chlorine nor any puriflcation whatever. The product Is oxygen-and nothing else. The oxygen, direct from the retorts, Is stored in gasometers, and then forced into distilled water by means of a Twitchell carbonating machine, which pumps the water and oxygen at the same time, thoroughly agitating both before bottling. The bottling is done under a pressure of 60 pounds.

A MAN AND HIS SHOES.
The Thicker the Soles He Wears the Larger the City from Which
 He Halls.

"You can almost tell from what country a man comes by the weight of his shoes," said J. w. Davy, of Chicago, who represents shoe company, to a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter. "You might not believe it." he continued, "but the thicker the soles of his shoes the larger the city from which he comes. In New York it is almost a fad, and the soles of the shoes there are exceedingly heavy. They are almost as heavy in Chica. go. Men there wear shoes to pro- tect their feet. They have not time enough, it seems, to bother with rubbers. So they make one pair of shoes dc lhe work for all kinds of weather. Here in Mil. waukee and in other cities of this size, I notice, the men wear light shoes and rubbers. 1 suppose they have time enough to wear the overshoes. Up in the country I find that in many places leather boots are not worn at all for sev- eral of the winter months. They wear heavy socks and then put rubber overshoes over these"

German Hsunday Schools" ,"

In England the term Sunday school" has a definite meaning, and is exclusively used to denote a place of religious teaching Ill Germany, however, the race for commercial supremacy has led to the establishment of Sunday schools at which mechanics are given practical instruction in their trades. There is, for exam pie, a school for masons, at which the students, many of them me chanics who work during the week, spend several hours on Sun day morning in learning the high CT branches of their craft. Sim ilarly there are Sunday schools for tailors, ironmongers, bookbind. CTS, and followers of other trades even barbers and blacksmiths.
