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 tho 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 refectipg clouds and countless myriads of particles in the ethereal re- gions high above the earth give the bright light which is so much relished In daily life.

msuIcIDE CLUB" FLoURIsHEs.
YounE Women of Boise. fdaho' Have Organization and Choose
 Victims by Lot.

Boise, Idaho, has a fully organized suicide club. That 1t Is ready for busi- uess and has already transacted con- siderable business is shown by the fact that at least three of it's members have "shufied of" by the suicide route with In \ period of as many months.
 The fact of the existence of the organ ization became known to the police in an investigation into the death of Grace Ashton. its latest victim. She died from la1orphine poisoning on . third attempt 1t suicide, both of her previous attempts having been frustrated through season. able discovery by friends.
 Another young woman friend Of Miss Ashton attempted suicide by taking poi son. but recovered, and 1t was through her that tho existence of tho club was made known. The club is regularly or xanized with . strong membership-all young vomen-and holds meetings at regular intervals. It transpires that at each meeting a new victim is chosen by lot, who is to "pass of" before the time for the next meeting by one Of the usual methods adopted in such cases, the par ticular mode being optional with the can dtdate.

HONEY 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 a season, says the Philadel- phia Record. The skunk is valuable both for his fur and for the oil that Is 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 Q dark skunk was worth $2.5O to three dollars, and the demand ex- ceeded the supply. Since then. the 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 a hardwood club is the only weapon needed for killing them. and when every fat skunk contains at least a quart of oil. worth five dollars a gallon at wholesale, there Is money in the business.
 Most of the skunk belts are shipped to a 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 is estimated that Maine's revenue from skunks amounts to $15O, 1000 or $175,000 annually, which is double the sum de- rived from all the honey bees in tho 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 gallon within a year. The natives prize the oil for it1 virtues as a cure for rheumatism and stiff 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- duction of skunk oil in Maine exceeds 25,000 gallons, and the quantity is in- creased by adulteration with the fatty oils obtained from hens and wood. chucks, deception which has proved most profitable to the skunk magnatea

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

The manufacture of oxygen-or mora properly it's separation from the atmos- phere we breathe-is an intensely in- teresting process known to but few professional men and scarcely known at all by the ordinary mortal, says 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 Tn Los An geles, Cal.
 oxygenated water is now being pre- scribed by physicians in certain dis cases. and hence a cheap and simple method of separating the oxygen in tho atmosphere becomes 6 matter of im- portance. The process employed Dy the Los Angeles company is based on the principle that a certain chemical com- pound-manganate of soda-readil! parts with the oxygen it contains whep subjected to the action of jet 0 steam. A blast of air on tho residGum reforms 1t into manganate O. soda, this chemical possessing the peculiar pyop- erty of absorbing oxygen from the at- mosphere, parting with 1t when ex- posed to steam and being reformed again upon exposure to the air. Tho process may be continued indefinitely. when the ingredients arc placed in the retort and proper connections for air snd steam made. No more chemicals arc required. It may be likened to dip ping a sponge in water. squeezing 1t dry, and then repeating the operation indefinitely.
 Oxygen made by this process, 1t is claimed, contains no gas other than oxy- gen and no clements of any descrip- ton other than slight traces of atmos- pheric nitrogenI. Hence it 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 Mitchell 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.

Never shall I forget, writes Julia Daniels Moseley, in tue Four-Track News, the magic of q certain garden in the south. ip sunny Florida. =. The stars down there have way of seem. ing to hang out of the sky, like a jewel placed high in the setting. The moon was full and the magic of her yellow beauty bewitched everything, enhancing the very shadows. There is an abandon about that spot that takes away the stiffness so often found in large, formal grounds, and, as you walk on and on, there seems to be no end to it, but it is as though all the world was a sumptuous gar den; and when you lift your eyes to the matchless night blues, k seems as if the very dome of Heav en had opened to charm yeu viE'on-

ANCIENT DOLL-LlKE IDOLS.
Were Found Embedded in Walls ol Ancient Cliff Dwellings Near
 Santa Te.

While exploring the Puye and Shufinne cliff dwellings near San. ta Fe recently Dr. R. w. Scheuss. Ter discovered some antiques of a kind not previously catalo. ued by students of that region. Mo- ticing upon the wall of an ancient dwelling some spots of an unu. sual color, he dug into the soft stone with his pocketknife and discovered a hole 5 inches in diam eter and 12 inches deep, partly filled with mud. Inside was i'm bedded a stick on which was mounted a dolls head. In the same hole was a small, highly pol ished turquoise.
 Dr. Schuessler investigated fur. ther. He found three more of the sealed openings, each of them containing a doll and turquoise. One of the holes contained a piece of petrified resin, in which tooth marks indicated that it had been used as the chewing gum of the day. The probability is that the doll heads were idols, but the sig. nificance of burying them in the mesa walls and the presence of
 he turquoise are not explained

eARBERs' SHOP DISEASES.
Patrons Advised to Have Their Own Brush and Comb-Carbolic Acid
 for the Razor.

The transference to his GUS toners, by means of his hands and instruments, of many parasit' ic skin diseases has long been rec ognized as one of the unnecessary accomplishments of the necessary barber. Among these affections, says American Medicine, are sycosis, impetigo, seborrheic alo- pecia and furunculosis that is more or less chronic in type. Dr. Graham Chambers states that during the past five years imped' go circinati has been very prev. alent in Toronto, scarcely a month passing without an outbreak of from two to thirty cases, gener. ally traceable to common source. The barber shop is so com. monly the source that he desig. mates the disease as "barbers' i'm. petigo." Quite recently Dr. W. A. Hardaway has called attention to a point which he believes, and we think rightly, has been but lit. tie realized by the medical profes sion. That is the frequency with which carbuncles are acquired in barber shops. He has seen many cases of carbuncle in which the evidence of this means of trans. mission was to him indisputable. The relative importance of this SC. rious affection as compared with the other diseases mentioned needs scarcely to be impressed. For the prevention of contagion in barber shops, Hardaway be. lieves that we will be forced to rely upon an educated public opinion rather than upon compul- sorry laws directed against the barber. He recommends that each patron of barber shop pro. vide himself with a box, contain ing his own brush and comb, a small package of absorbent cot ton and a five per cent. carbolie acid solution. The barber will then wipe his shears or clippers with the solution, and use the pa. tron's comb and brush. For the man who slaves his own soap, cup and brush are necessities. These suggestions are sensible. To car ry them out properly means some inconvenience, but it is worth while, especially to the aged and debilitated, or to those suffering from diabetes or similar diathe sis. Physicians attending such pa. tients should extend them a warn. ing in this regard.

NEW YORK MAY
SANCTION BOXING
Lovers Of the Sport Think Bill
Will Pass in Legis-
lature. ssai

New York Sun Special Service ......,
New York. Nov. 18-There Is hope tn the
hearts Of the lovers of the boxing game. Another
effort Is to be made when the legislature assem-
bles to have boxing bill passed. >-..
The bill which will be presented this session
is in skeleton form. Many good points have been
brought out and even those most antagonistic to
boxing, it is conceded will give way before the
demand for clean presentation Of the manifest
of sports. 32f g. ysE-.
One Of the clauses Of the bill requires that a
registered and practicing physician be called
by the boxing clubs to examine every boxer before
he enters the ring. No boxer who is not found
to be physically fit will be permitted to enter.
Again there will be clause to the effect that a
referee of contest seeing that man is out.
cassed, shall stop the bout before 1t has reached
the limit, in order to prevent brutality or in
jury to the weaker man. If such bout Is per-
mttted to go on. the license Of the club will be
revoked. E,s @'a
There are many sportsmen in this town who
are willing to give their attention and their nan-
ciaI backing to an honest boxing enterprise.
While not voicing an Official opinion on the sub.
ject, District Attorney Jerome is known to favor
the passage of bill for boxing and would be-
come patron of the sport II conducted on a
high-class scale. Only recently he was. present
at series of exhibition bouts and expressed
himself greatly pleased at the display Of the
skill Of the boxers, and declared he saw no harm
in the game when PROPERTY conducted.
