By the time he had turned the cor
ner of the street it had struck Archie
that he had been somewhat short
sighted to quarrel with the man who
had the privilege of entertaining every
evening the beautiful creature whose
face it was his chief delight to sketch.
But what on earth is that box for?"
he asked himself.
For the life of him he couldn't an
swer the question. 1t was far too big
for clothes or books. Indeed, his jocu-
lar remark about burying a person in
it was not so absurd, now he came to
think of it, for unless it was designed
to hold a human being he could see
no use for it,,
The subject was not a pleasant one,
and he dismissed it hastily.
That night 'she" arrived, but later
than usual. Again he had his hat on
ready to go out. She had acloak over
her shoulders and was in evening
dress.
How do you do?" he said, pleas
antly, with a decent air of surprise, as
if she were the last person in the world
he expected to see.
But she was in a state of great agi-
tation. Her face was pale and she
was trembling with nervousness, and
was it fear?

He lighted a cigarette, and, after a
moments thought, strolled out Of the
building.
From the street he could see the
lights in the Ferrari flats. He looked
up, wondering what took place there,
and for what purpose that queer-look-
ing box had been brought in.
Suddenly he became aware that the
lights were being lowered, until the

The CRATER is always showing
his hand. The only wonder is
that be is able to continually push
himself into position where re-
spectacle people are compelled to
come in contact with him, when
he is known to be merely a cur.
It has been the surprise Jt a
large number Of reputable p ople
in Mississippi why Governor Var
daman has continued to permit
the old reprObate Hi Henry to re-
main in the position Of Worlds
Fair Commission, knowing him to
be too contemplate to be reeOg'
nized by decent people.
Henry was the rpecial pet Of
the DagO LODginO, because be was
always willing to serve that de-
bauch Of a Governor, and natural
ly everybody that supported Gov
ernOr Vardaman expected him to
clean up the state from ali such
baTnacles.
The failure to do so has resulted
only as might have been expected.
Henry has brought a disgrace up
on the state in his conduct as
commissioner, which not only des-
trOys all hope Of benefits being
gained by the expenditure OF $50.
600 for a Worlds FAIR exhibit, but
which must place the State in an
attitude that brings it under the
ban of ceDsure and contempt by
the entire country.

Henry is one Of those brazen
imbeciles, who, when given the
least authority, exercises it to the
detriment Of every interest save
his own.
His latest break lie to lock out
Mrs. Floyd Walton, the lady APP
pointed as official hostess Of the
Mississippi building at the Worlds
Fair, and install in her place his
own wife aud family.
10 other words, Hi Henry as
sumes that the Mississippi build
ing was simply erected As a dwell
ling place for himself and family
and such of his strikers as he may
choose to entertain during the iair.
Even visitors from this state,
ladies calling in numbers, are met
at the door OF the building and
forbidden admission, and inform.
ed that they may rest upon the
gallery.
This is indeed a handsome spec
tacle presented by Mississippi's
representation at the worlds fair.
II the present governor Of the
state has no authority to remedy
such insults to the people Of his
state, the law is certainly a very
lame one. If be has the authority
aud does not exercise it be lie him.

New Calculation.

Prof. See has watched the duration of the blue sky after dark, and found it to continue for about an hour and 15 min utes, and from this he shows that our atmosphere extends to height of fully 130 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 refecting 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

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

The manufacture of oxygen--Or more 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 a scientific paper A plant for the manu- facture of oxygen to be used in charg- ing it's 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 a cheap and simple method of separating the oxygen in the 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 it contains when subjected to the action of a jet of steam. A blast of air on the residuum reforms it into manganate O. soda, this chemical possessing the peculiar prop erty of absorbing oxygen from the att mosphere, parting with it 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 a sponge in water, squeezing it dry, and then repeating the operation indefinitely
 Oxygen made by this process, it is claimed, contains no gas other than oxy- gen and no clements of any descrip- tion other than slight traces of atmos- pheric nitrogen Hence it requires no washing to free it from chlorine nor any puriEcation 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 50 pounds
