Anticipa

There is a story to the effect that a
woman with Il disposition TO worry
over the future made Il list of iniprnd
ing troubles. the ones she thought like
Iy to happen to herself. aud pnt it
away for safe keeping. Some months
later she ran across it by accident
merely. for she had quite forgotten it.
and to her surprise found thai not one
of the number had come to pass. So
she became converted to the optimistic
side and is a happier and more pros
porous woman for the change.
1t is a story we would do well to re
member. 1t contains IA lesson to be tax
ell to heart. The greater part OF Our
woe lives in our imagination. On that
we waste our strength and nerve force,
leaving Il rather weak prop on which
to lean in real adversely. Trouble we
must m"et-that is inevitable IL we
do not have to live it through twice. the
first time in imagination. A fear of
what the future contains is Il clog upon
our heels and prevents the achieve
ment of many an important deed.

Bullock Skin ROatA.

There are few more primitive meth
DDS of transportation than those in use
today by natives of northern India who
make their homes in the vicinity Of the
swift flowing SutIej. The boats OF
these a~borigines are nothing more or
less than bullock skins inflated by the
breath of the natives themselves. Two
natives may be seen hard ut work fill
Ing the skins with air Having inf1at-
ed them to their satisfaction. they will
leap board and paddle themselves
across the river, great skill and strength
being necessary to sustain their equi
librium during the passage But even
should the boats overturn they are
easily righted. and the natives are with
Out exception expert swimmers.

One Of the many uncertain elements
In nie~teorology is the height to which
the earth's atmosphere extends. In
forii or days it was taught somewhat
d0gluaticaily that a height exceeding
forty five miles was u~nthinkaIie for q
gas constituted as the air is. This belief
was shaken by calculations respecting
the altitude of meteOrS. which became
incandescent by collision with our at.
mospheric envelope and were certainly
rendered visible in this way at alti-
tudeS of eve seventy miles. Professor
Newcomb deduced from the meteor
shower of Nov. 13. 1867. that the air
must reach to 100 or 10 miles from the
earth surface. DIR. L. j. See of Wash.
ington essayed to determine the prob
lem by watching the disappearance Of
blue sky after sunset Accepting Lord

of the sky is due to reflection of sun
