An Ab.entmInded Professor.


The absentminded professor we have
always with US, but George Wash
Ington university lays claim to the
prize package. Not only Is Professor
3. absentminded to a marked degree,
but his wife Is the typical absent
minded professors wife. It is she
who places his books ready for the day,
she who changes the buttons to fresh
shirt, reminds him of the necessity Of
an umbrella when he starts out In the
pouring rain and she who runs out to
he gate with his glasses seven days
n the week.
As usual one day recently she pre-
pared his morning bath and through
some oversight left the hot water
spigot turned on. Professor X. entered
he bathroom, discouraged himself from
ais bath robe and plunged Into the tub.
Instantly the air was rent by wild
shriel5s, and his wife ran upstairs,
breathlessly inquiring the cause Of
such a connection.
"Ch. Margaret" he exclaimed. "the
water is boiling hot. am being scald-

Where In the world are you. dear?"
said the now thoroughly alarmed wife.

Few stop to consider the amount of
labor performed daily by the human
heart The InexhaustIble supply of en-
ergy displayed by this overworked or
gan is marvellous. Calculation has
shown that the work of the heart Of
an average person is equal to the feat
Of lifting over Eve tons at the rate Of

four hours. A certain DR.. Richardson
once made "A curious calculation In re-
gard to the work performed by the
heart in mileage. he presumed that
the blood was forced out OF the heart
ct each palpitation in the proportion Of
sixty-nlne strokes minute and at the
assumed distance OF nine feet. At this
rate the flow OF the blood through the
body would be 2O7 yards minute. or
seven miles an hour. This would make
40 miles day, or 1000 miles year.
Thus in lifetime OF elghty-four years
the blood In the huInun body would
travel over 5,OoO.O 900 miles. The num-
Der of beats of the heart required to
send the blood that far would be over

MACkrREL SKIES.
Theories About How These Cloud
FOrmntIons Are Cnuaed.


Formations Are Caused.
The mackerel sky comes from the
same causes as all the cirrus clouds, so
called from the beautiful curl their
fragments often assume, such as
'.maclerel Skies" mares tails and
cats tails AIeteorologlsts IRE not
agreed as to the cause. there being two
explanations.
1t has been suggested that these cir
rus clouds are the heads OF columns OF
vapor rising from the earth and pre-
cipitated us soon as they attain a GER
tain elevation. rarely less than three
miles above the earth Q5.s4O feet and
often Eve or six miles 10000 to 10000
fent. If this be so the visible cloud
forms the capital of an invisible pillar
of saturated air.
The second explanation IL that they
are caused In the higher regions OF the
atmosphere by the meeting OF two cur
rents of mir of different water bearing
capacity, causing them to form into
parallel bands. each belt being com
posed OF light, airy fragments, slightly
altered in appearance according to
slight difference In conditions under
which they are formed. 1t tas been
supposed that such clouds are compOs-
ed of particles Of snow.
It might be added that they occur In
systems. long ranks of them extending
in one direction for vast distances and
being occasionally crossed by other
systems at other but also extreme al
titudes.
