MEASURING DEPTH OF AIR
Atmospheric Envelope of Earth De-
termined by Interesting scien-
tific Observation.

one hundred and 81 miles is the
height OF the atmosphere as measured
by Prof T. J. J. SAs, who determines
the thickness OF the air envelope by
noting the difference between the time
OF sunset and the complete disappear
ance of blre from the sky. The mo-
ment at WI, n the blue changes into
black can be observed quite easily
with approximate certainty by the
naked eye when the air is clear; and
by trigonometry may be ascertained
the distance below the horizon of the
sun at the moment Of change. BY this
means may be calculated the height OF
the smallest illuminated particlea of
oxygen and nitrogen which give to the
sky its blueness of tint By the refiec-
ton of the smallest wave lengths Of
the suns lisa. The instant OF change
from blue TO black Is possibly little
dificult of exact observation, but tho
method Is not more doubtful than that
based in the observation of shooting
stars The shooting star method gives
a result not greatly differing from the
vanishing blue method. The former
gives the height of the atmosphere al
1903 miles.

OF EGYPT
FoRI IGN CAPITAL BUILDING UP
COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES.
American Manufacturers Beginning
to Reach Out After This Field
with Good Pres
pects

Egypt, the ancient lald Of Biblical
story is just now Offering to the world
Of trade field for exploitation which
presents many favorable features for
the exporters of other nations. In
many things she is no less conserva-
tive to-day than she was In the days
when Jacob used to send his sons to
her to buy corn during famine In
Palestine. "If you want my produce"
says the modern Egyptian, come here
and purchase 1t; If you want me to
buy yours bring IL to my house and
will examine IT," He buys and sells
on the old conservative lines. but to
the energetic exporter he gives prom
Use OF becoming an important factor
II he Is approached In the proper way
and worked" skilfully.
Egypt always mas been and stlll Is
purely agricultural country. Her
produce Is required by all other coun-
tries and the Egyptian cultivator Is
well aware of that fact. Just as In
the ancient days under the guidance
OF Joseph he made the first corner In
the worlds corn, so at the present
time he makes corner on his own
individual account. At TIE present
time the Egyptian cotton raiser Is lit
orally sitting upon his bales and hold
ing out for high prices lie can afford
to wait, but the intending purchaser
cannot. and the Egyptian knows 1t.
Foreign capital has been slow in
making an invasion Of egypt, but
now II Is there In large quantities,
and urder its influence trade Is ad-
vanclng in bounding leaps. Before
the British occupation thsre were, ex-
elusive af the Suez Cr,al company
and two banks not primarily estab-
lished in Egypt, only IL companies in
which foreign capital was invested.
Their combined capital can be ascer-
tainGd but It was not extremely large.
From 1852 to 1887 nine commercial
companies with combined capital
OF 100000, were formed Between
1889 and 1891 three more were foated,
with combined capital of $4,000.
600, and In the next four years the
numhr was swelled to 10 new COM
pauI with tulfl Cdpl'dl vi poU,-
100000 After the battle OF Atbara In
1893 foreign capital began to see the
advantages Of the Egyptian field and
flowal into II with a rush. European
manufacturer followed the stream of
gold and today the trade of Egypt
has become prize well worthy the
pains necessary 20 secure its control.
The American manufacturer is just
beg'nning to take steps to capture at
least a fair share OF this trade. Their
distance from Egypt and the cost Of
transportation are, no doubt, serious
handicaps for American ,sporters. but
with the advantages held by American
manufacturers in the production of
goods and the superior quality of their
products these disadvantages lose half
their terrors.
