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 a 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 refiecting 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.

MONEY IN MAINE SKUNKS.
They Are Worth as Much as All the Deer Killed in That stnte
 in a Season.

1t 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 a dark skunk was worth S2.5o 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 a 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 Philadelphia firm, where they are malo up into f~rs for export to Fra1ce and Germany, in whcih coun- tries they pass as monkey skins. It is estimated that Names revenue from skua.s amounts to $150,000 or $175,000 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 gallon within a year. The natives prize the oil for ita virtues as 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, 600 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 magnates.

MAKING OF OXYGEN.
Interesting Process Known to But 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 its distilled water was put in opera uon recently at an ice plant ln Los Am geles, Gal.
 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 matter of im- portance. The process employed by the Los Angeles company is based on the principle that a certain chemical com- pound-manganate of soda-readilJx parts with the oxygen it contains when subjected to the action of jet of steam. A blast of air on the residuum reforms 1t 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 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 elements of any descrip- tion other than slight traces of atmos- pheric nitrogenI. Hence it requires no washing to free it from chlorine nor any purification 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 pressure of 60 pounds

LIQUOR LICENSE LEGALITY
Board of Trustees Will Investigate the Prohibitary Clause in
 Town Lots

Much business was transacted at the "Wednesday night, and in the latter part of the evening a surprising oppo- sition was developed to the petition asking that the question of license or no license be voted upon at the regular fall election.
 The full Board was present, with President Edgar in the chair 4 con- siderable number of spectators were also there, for what reason appeared later.
 The business license ordinance and the one providing for the payment of city bills were read for the last time and passed.
 An ordinance fixing the salaries of city officers received its first reading. The amounts per month as read will be ; clerk $25, recorder $25, marshal t75 aud five per cent of all fines and licenses collected, treasurer one per cent of all meneys paid out by him except for the sale of bonds, in which case he shall receive .one-quArter of one per cent. The salary of the attorney will be fixed later.
 An ordinance providing for the ap- pointment of Board of Health was presented. It will consist of five mem bers, one of whom shall be practicing physician and one civil engineer. They will hold monthly meetings and report to the Board of Trustees regard ing all sanitary and health measures.
 A communication regarding the City Coast League of Municipalities was ro- meeting.

With Inference of Double Play on Part of
 Staie Official
mpears Chief Industry be Protected by the Appointment
 of a Cattle Inspector

Many of our Imperial readers will re- call the passage in February last by the boar'l of supervisors of an ordinance designed to protect the cattle men of this Valley from the importation with tn our borders of diseased cattle, or of cattle afflicted with ticks or other para sites This ordinance was drawn by the State Veterinarian at the request of W. F.. Wiisie, the we'll known dairy man of Imperial, who, at the time, was in Los Angles and chancing to hear of band of "tickey" cattle, numbering several hundred. that were about to be shipped in here took immediate steps to prevent such action.
 The State convention of veterinary surgeons being then is session Mir. Wilsie laid the matter before them and, time being very short. notified Mir. Jasper, the chairman of the board of supervisors, of proposed action that the board might be held in session long enougl, to pass the ordinance then be- ing drafted by State Veterinarian Vail.
 The ordinance was delivered to the board and immediately passed, close scrutiny not being deemed necessary as it vas said to be identical with other acts tn force in other counties. At the time 1t was effective in heading off the "tickey" cattle, and the supervisors at their next meeting took 1t up with view of appointing all inspector for the Valley.
 Here the Ethiopian in the wood pile" appeared as it was then found that no provision was made for the payment Of an inspector and every case of suspected disease in cattle would have to be referred to the State veter-

A petition was brought before the Board asking it to request that the supervisors provide for a vote upon the license question at the regular election in November. IT. was signed by thirty seven citizens. This brought forth a storm of protest and discussion.
 F. G. Ravens made an eloquent speech, saying the vote would come at an inopportune time, when politics would overs'radow any other issue and a fair test at that time would not be possible. He also questioned whether a license would stand in view of the prohibitory clause in the deeds to town lots. He was followed by F. N. Chap lin, D. D. Lawren-e, pr. Blake and G. 4. Carter, all of whom announced themselves as opposed to license, but believed that at the right time a vote on the question should be taken. The responsibility of the trustees in case of issuing a license which should after wards be found to be illegal received some attention. Finally the matter was brought to vote by Trustee Morri- son moving that the petition be laid over until the legality of license could be investigated. Trustee Hawes was the only dissenting voice.
 The Board then adjourned.

ina rian and he would have to be paid $25 a day and expenses; further that tn. board had no authority to assume such expense. Thus, the ordinance, in effect. is SO much waste paper.
 All this is apropos of the recent move ment inaugurated in the Farmers Insti. tnte for an inspectorship for the Valley over cattle. trees and vines. This movement has culminated in petition for the appointment of Eugene l.. Wales, a dairyman and citrus fruit and vine grower of twenty years experience, as inspector.
 Some way to amend the "graft" or dinancc will soon be found, but in the meantime the tree and vine part is equally as important and is not open to the same defect. This can be filled soon, under the petition, and the ap- pointment for cattle inspector can be made when the ordinance is properly amended or superseded by a better one
 NECESSITY FOR ACTION
 That pressure should be brought to bear upon the supervisors in regard to regular inspection of all cattle brought into the Valley is more apparent when 1t is considered that large numbers are being received from all points; that in Escondido, in this county, Texas fever has already broken out and in the country east of the coast range are many cases of glsnders, while in River side county up to very recent date, enormous losses of fine dairy stock were sustained through Texas tick.
 The cattle and dairy interests are and will be the leading industrial feature of Inperial Valley and should be thorough ly protected by the most rigid measures.

The plan is to have complete list of all registrations in both city and country sent mp from San Diego in time for publication in next weeks PRESS, and then each voter, seeing thereby where he is registered, can tell whether he is right or not, and if not have it at once corrected by transfer with any one of the registration clerks. For these transfers cards will be provided, and all will be made easy-only provided the voter himself act promptly in the matter. If he does not he may lose his vote, and 1t will be his own fault.

In registering this fall many voters have failed to have this distinc- tion made and consequently will be disfranchised if they do not correct il, because the voter registered simply in Imperial could not vote in the city, and he could not vote outside because he doesn't live there.

A wife's Allowance.

A lady writes: I think 1t Is dis graceful state of affairs when wife has constantly to beg from husband for money for household expenses. Too many wives have to do 1t, alas. and 1t is equally bad when the wage earner hands over his entire cash to his wife In the one case the wife is robbed of her just rights, in the other too much re- sponsibility is cast on her shoulders, and as I view matters. the husband shirks mart of his duty. Of course there Is the wife's personal allowance. but that hard ly comes within the scope of this article however, I may be allowed to say word concerning 1t. Every young wife should stipulate for a certain sum monthly for her own pocket; she does not require to spend this money If she gets ample allowance for domestic purposes; 1t ought in fact, to be carefully laid aside or banked If there be sufficient; on" never knows what is going to happen, and 1t Is best to be as fully prepared Tor emergencies as possible.
 I have known a case where wife an- nualiy paid a months bills out of her allowance and naturally such an ac- tion rot only saves a mans money. but increases his respect and love for his wife. This was perhaps an exceptional case, but no doubt many wives could do the same If they but made up their minds.

I'm out of Dublin the better, for he'll not leave a mousehole he'll not search to find me out now. So both of them started and hurried away out of Dublin by back road, and afore night they were well on their way back
 They travelled on then without any ad- venture. the Gray Man payin' their way, till they come near to Donegal Town.
 Now" says the Gray Man, well have to separate here. And before we separate I'll give ye wan piece of advice. If ye ever meet a sthranger again and you go- in to journey with him never show yer money or tell that ye have any. But says he, because yc showed yourself such a generous fellow when I met ye and SO whole hearted tor'st me- thinkin' me pen niless, yell have luck and be nothin' the poorer of 1t. When ye go home" says he, "go to the ruins of Micky the Miser's s old house, in the upper end of your own townland. and search we'll under the heartstone and see what yell see."
 .lhe Gray Man then bid Denis goodby and went off in the Tyrugh direction and Denis come on home. And he didn't lay his head on a pillow till he took a pick and spade and went off to Mickv the Miser's old house, who had died without lavin' wan belongin to him. And under the hearthstone. sure enough, he found n nest of goold guineas the full of his two hands. And from that day forward there was few more prosperous men or happier than Denis a-Cuinn and all his family.
