Chick, brightly.

They waited for an hour or two, to be
sure all others in the palace were asleep,
and then they crepu softly from the room
and began to search for the staircase. The
passages were alike and so confusing
that this was no easy task; but finally, just
as they were about to despair. they came
upon the stairs and mounted to the upper
story of the palace. And now they really
became lost in the maze of cross passages
that led in every direction; nor could they
come to that particular doorway that led
to the stairs they had descended from the
little fiat roof where the flying machine lay.
Often they imagined they had found the

Intense Cold Over the Equator.
From the New York Herald.


The French meteorologist, M. Teisserenc
de Bort, in an address recently reported in
Nature, gave remarkable record of tenn
peratures observed by means of aeronauti-
cal researches in the upper air over the
equatorial regions of the Atlantic. Ex-
tremey good results were obtained by
an expedition by himself and Mr.. Rotch
in these regions, and. contrary to ex-
pectations, it was found that at high levels
in the equatorial air much lower tempera-
lures were recorded than at corresponding
heights in the temperate ATTITUDES. over
the equator the isothermal zone seemed to
be absent. But the temperature went on
decreasing up to the highest point reached,
and at attitudes of eight miles or more
1t was found as low liz degrees below
zero of Fahrenheits scale.
This intense cold in the high air over
the equatorial Atlantic, on which the sun
exerts its greatest heating power, seems
mysterious indeed, though there is no rea-
son whatever to question the accuracy of
the recording instruments. Its explana-
ton is perhaps to be found in the exist
ence of a broad atmospheric current trav-
cling with enormous velocity from east
to west at attitudes from five to eight miles
above the equatorial regions. and apparent
ly circling around the globe. 1t seems
probable that on surfaces of such a cur
rent, from which masses of air have been
violently separated as lateral offshoots the
resulting sudden diminution of pressure
and expansion of the air would account
for an immense reduction of the tempera-
ture below zero.

soon became really exciting, and when bed
time again arrived the listeners were glad
to believe they would hear more of the IA
nous Silver Pig during the following day.
But Chick knew very well that the story
had now been stretched out to the very
limit and when they were alone the child
TOOK the gingerbread mans hand and said:
Unless we can find those stairs tonight,
john Dough, our Jig is up. For by tomorrow
evening I'll be at the bottom of the deep
blue sea- and the fishes will be having a
nice supper OF soaked Incubator Baby with
gingerbread on the side"
Please do not mention such horrible
thing exclaimed John, with a shiver. THE

came down them; so let us make one more

Even when 1t grew daylight they did not
abandon the quest for they could see their
way much better than when feeling along
dim passages by the uncertain light of the
moon ana as the danger grew every mo-
ment, they redoubled their eagerness in
the quest.
All at once they heard footsteps approach
ing; and. as they were standing in the mid
ole OF long passage, they pressed back
against the marble wall to escape discovery.
Al once the wall gave way, and John tum-
Dled backward into another passage, with
the Cherub sprawling on top of him. For

Hastily regaining their feet the fugitives
ran down the passage, and at the end came
suddenly upon another heavy drapery, which
when thrust aside, was found to cone cal
the identical flight of steps they had sought
for so long and unsuccessfully.
Uttering cries of joy, Chick and John
quickly mounted the stairs and found them
selves upon the fiat roof
The flying bird lay as they had left It,
and they were about to crawl inside, when
the sound of footsteps mounting the stairs
was heard. -.

John hesitated no longer, and was soon

after, and at once pressed the electric but

The big wings began to flop just as a
number of men came upon the roof utter

their prisoners to escape. But the strong
pinions of the bird swept them fiat like so
many tenpins, and before they could get
upon their feet again the flying machine
was high in the air and we'll out of their

right place; but the stairs would lead to
some dome or turret that was strange to
them, and they would be obliged to retrace
their steps.
Morning found the child and the ginger
bread man still wandering through the
endless passages, and at last they were
obliged to abandon the quest and return
to their room.
All that following day the fair-haired,
bule-eyed Baby continued the strange tale
of the Silver Pig. while the ladies and gen.
tlemen of the Palace of Romance seemed
to listen with real pleasure. For, long ago,
they had told each other alLth stories they
could themselves remember or imagine; SO
that it was a rare treat to them to hear of
the wonderful adventures of Chicks Silver
Pig, and they agreed that the longer the
story lasted the better they would be
pleased.
one lady said to the child. with a sweet
smile.
That made Chick laugh.
Don't you worry about me- was the re-
Of old ager'
When bedtime again arrived the tale of
the Silver Pig was still unfinished, and
once more Chick and the gingerbread man
were courteouSly escorted to their cham
bers.
They spent the scond night in another
vain attempt to find the stairs leading to
the fiat roof, and morning found them as
ignorant as ever of the location of their
flying machine.
In spite of the little ones courage the
task of carrying the Silver Pig through so
many adventures was very difficult feat,
and the child was weary for lack of sleep.
On that third day John fully expected that
Chicks invention would become exhausted,
and they would both be dropped through the
trapdoor into the sea. Chick thought of the
sea, too. but the thought gave the child
one more idea, and 1t promptly tumbled
the Silver Pig over the side of the ship and
landed the adventurous animal upon the
bottom of the ocean, where Chick went on
to say it became acquainted with pretty
mermaids and huge green Holsters, and res
cued an amarylis from a fierce and dis
agreeable sea dragon. This part Of the tale

But what shame II was to accuse Imar

places" said Chick: land that's all we
wanted of 1t. Come on. John Dough: let's
go and explore our island"
1t did not take our Adventures long to
discover they were In remarkable place.
Near the shore was a strip of land that at
first sight seemed thickly covered with
grass: but when Chick examined II closely
IL was found to be q mass of tiny trees set
close together. and each tree was full OF
small and tender green leaves. And, as the
trees were only an inch or two high. they
really looked like grass from a distance,
and proved to be soft and pleasant to walk
upon.
But behind this green sward lowered a
forest, so strange and magnificent that
both Chick and John Dough held their
breaths in amazed awe as they gaZed upon
it. For they beheld n confused group OF the
most gorgeous plants imaginable. most OF
them having broad leaves as big as the sails
of ship and of exceedingly vivid colorings.
There were violet and carmine leaves side
by side. with brilliant yellows and pinks,
blues and ambers. and among them great
punches of pure white leaves that in fair
ness rivaled those of a lily. Some of the
huge forest plants were low and broad
no taller than an ordinary house-but many
of them shot UP into the sky like spires and
church steeples. And another strange thing
was the fact that they were all filled with
clusters of flowers of many beautiful shapes
and designs. And the flowers were of va
rious tints of greens-running from a deli
cate pea green through all the different
shades to bright emerald. and then TO deep
bottle greens. Yet the flowers were the
only green colors in all the vast forest of
brilliant plants-which glowed magnif-
sently under the rays of the sun that the
eyes of our friends were fairly dazzed as
they gazed.

wait and see," returned Chick, with a
laugh.
"It's cruel to laugh when we are in such
grave danger said John. responsibility
"Shucksr' cried the child. 1T might be
my last laugh, and I'd be foolish to miss it. -
The bird was still floating, for its broad
wings were rigidly spread out to their full
est extent: but every moment the machine
sailed nearer to the sea. and although it
was surely nearing the island, neither John
nor Chick could decide whether Ii would
finally succeed in reaching the shore or fall
into the water. -e-.
Even the careless Cherub paused with
bated breath to watch the final catastrophe,
and John, resigned to whatever fate might
befall him, nevertheless passed the most
anxious moments of his brief lifetime.
The bird sailed down and rested upon the
water few feet from the shore, and
floated upon the surface.
Chick and John dared not open the door
for fear of letting in the ocean and so being
drowned. Neither could they now see where
they were. for the green water pressed
close against the little windows. So they
sat silently within the machine until there
came a sudden jar. and the bird rolled over
upon one side and lay still.
Were saved!' cried the Cherub. For
now one of the windows was raised above
the water. and enabled them to see that
the bird had drifted to the shore of the
island and was fast upon the beach.
Chick unfastened the door and crawled
out; and then the child assisted John to
leap from the machine to the shore with
out even wetting his feet. And it was in
deed fortunate they acted promptly, as
no sooner were they safely upon the island
than a big wave dashed up, caught the
broken flying machine in its grasp and
rolled it out to sea again, where 1t quickly
sank to the bottom and disappeared from
their view forever.
THAT'S all right" said the child. Il
wouldn't care to ride in the thing again.

With that the little one waved a chubby
hand toward John Dough, and then ran
into the forest and disappeared beneath the
great purple and orange-colored leaves.

the birds body and stood upon the
n roof. 1t was so high above the

look down. but Chick soon dis
covered a trap door that led downward
into tile palace by means of tiny
staircase. They descended the stairs, and,
having pushed aside a heavy drapery that
hung across a doorway. came upon broad
passage running through the upper story
of the palace. This led to still another
passage. and still another; but although
they turned this way and that in the maze
of passages. no living person did they meet
with. The tiled floors and paneled walls
were very beautiful and splendid; but they
were much alike that our adventures
completely lost their way before they came
by accident to broad staircase leading
downward to the next story. These stairs
were covered with soft carpeting and the
balusters were filigree gold. Still no one
was to be seen either on the stairs or in
the passages, and the palace was silent as
could be.
They found another staircase, by and by,
and descended to the main floor of the pal
ace. passing through magnificent parlors
and galleries. until finally hum of pleas

found themselves before heavy draperies

clearly the sounds of laughter and the

They pushed aside the draperies and en-

exquisite beauty that the sight made even
Chick pause in establishment
All around the sides and in the ceiling
were set handsome windows made of bits

having many brilliant gems set in the
metal. The floor was covered with price
less rugs of quaint patterns, and the furni-
ture consisted of many settees and easy
chairs. designed to afford the highest de-
gree of comfort.
Fountains of perfumed water sparkled
here and there, falling into golden basins;
and little tables scattered about the room
bore trays of dainty refreshments.
Seated within the room were groups of
ladies and gentlemen. all clothed in gor-
