The Breathing Earth.

That the earth breathes is a well
known scientific fact 1t is often to
be verified by that peculiar earthly
smell which arises Immediately after a
thunderstorm. the lowering Of the bar:
ometric pressure causing the flow up
ward of air, just as it is once more
squeezed downward when the barome

covered a natural barometer at Fer

When this opening is made small
enough just to 1T a whistle the differ

TRoT OR GALLoP?
Problem For People With Even
Very sharp Eyes.

A Problem For People with Even
Very sharp Eyes,
Here is a problem for people with
sharp eyes: AS we all know, horse
when walking or trotting advances
only one leg of each pair at a time, but
when galloping lifts both forefeet to-
gether and then both hind feet Now,
the question is how other animals man
age this matter. The birds. of course,
flap both wings together, but which
birds run and which hop? We human
beings ''trot' when we walk and gal
slop" when we swim-tlat is, il we are
using the plain breast stroke. The dog,
however. ''trots" for both. Now, do
the amphihious animals-the seals, Of
tiers and the rest--swim like men or
like other four footed creatures?
Then there are the fish, One would
rather expect that, as they move their
tails from side to side, they would flap
alternately with the fins, which are
their hands and feet. Who can tell
whether they do or not, and whether
all fish at all times follow one rule?
By the way, how does a frog use its
'hands?" The great anatomist E. Ray
Lancaster, has pointed out that, while
the Thousand legs" such as our COM
mon galleywotm. advance two feet Of
pair together. the centipeds, which
are much like them, do exactly the OPP
posite, and the swimming worms also
alternate the stroke of each pair Of
paddles.
Few people can tell on which system
the caterpillar manages its dozen or SO
legs or whether the adult insect walks,
trots, PAGES or gallops on its six. How
does the spider use eight? Altogether,
this Is a large field for observation. a
field, too, where any one may discover
new facts as yet unrecorded, and thus
add to the store of knowledge.

Calling oil Professional Men Once
Told by Their Dress.
Professional men do some things
better than they nsed to- froned an
attorney who DOESN'T practice II he can
help It,
'.That is,' he went on to explain,
professional men don't do some things
they once did, and think they're the
better for it. There was time. when
was growing up, when they advertise
ed their calling by means of their
dress. You could pick out clergy
man as far an you could see him, and
1t was much the same with lawyers.
Nowadays preachers and pehders
wear raiment which makes them look
Ike prosperous business men or high
toned sports, and they seem to be
more approachable and companionable
whether they are or not.
But the greatest change in this re-
spect has taken place among the phy-
sicians, not so much their clothes, per-
haps, as their manner. | can remember
when the old fashioned doctor entered

spaciest, farthest away space ever.
Then he'd whisper to mother again,

"However, as / said, that's all gone
