HEIGHT OF THE AIR.


AtmOsph ere Envelope II One Hundred
and Thirty-One Miles Thick.
One hundred and thirty one miles is
the height of the atmosphere as meas
ured by Professor T. ]. ]. See. who de
termines the thickness of the air en-
velope by noting the difference be-
tween the time of sunset and the com.
plete disappearance of blue from the
sky.
The moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate certain
ty by the naked eye when the aic is
clear, anu by trigonometry may be as
certaincd the distance below the hori
zon of the sun at the moment OF
change. BY this means may be cal
culated the height of the smallest IL
Illuminated particles of oxygen and nj.
trogen which give to the sky its blue
ness OF tint by the reflection of the
smallest wave lengths of the suns
light
The instant of change from blue to
black is possibly little difficult of ex.
act observation. but the method is
not more doubtful than that based on
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 at 100 miles

French Handkerchief.

The prettiest handkerchiefs are be-
ing made as fancy work out Of plaid
and corded handkerchief linens which
came out in the spring for blouses and
shirt waists and morning dresses.
French handkerchiefs, exactly like
them, have been popular for several
years, but, If you hemstitch, duplicates
of the French ones may be yours for
the merest fraction of the cost. For a
yard of the stuff costs less than q sin
gle made up handkerchief. And yard
makes a good many handkerchiefs.

same time that it is chic and novel. In
the Illustration the waist is high, but
it can be cut out. giving half low
neck, if better liked, while in either
case it is finished with narrow frills Of
lace. The elbow sleeves are pretty and
becoming as well as in the height Of
style, and the entire dress is highly
to be commended. AS shown, valen-
cienneS lace makes the yoke and the
trimming, but whether this shall be of
lace or of fine needlework is always
a matter Of choice. The skirt is grace
full and becomingly full, finished with
a hem and two tucks at the lower edge
and shirred to form the girdle, while
the waist is a simple one closed at the
back.

Vogue Of Stripes.

Stripes are the newest.
They are more modish than checks or
dots.
But let the long, slender lady beware
of them.
Narrow stripes on a white ground are
the best choice.
The very wide stripes look fearsome
on anybody.
Batiste, silk, flannel, percale, gauze
and muslin all come in striped pat
terms.

Concerning BlOuses.

bAOUoe0s
Nothing can supplant the lingerie
blouse.
1t has come to stay and is so salts
factory that no woman could get on
without it.
The latest models from Paris show
much lace and all over embroidery.
Italian lace in blocks and circles is
one of the newest and smartest trim
mings.
There is a tendency toward severely
cut blouses, without fullness, tucks or
plaits.
These, however, are mostly the hand
embroidered linen waists.
Most of the new Paris blouses have
short sleeves.
Many of these turn back at the ell
bow, with most jaunty and becom-
ing cuff.

Another accident happened in
the Bay Shore mill last Tuesday.
James Kenny, the shingle filer,
while in TIL, lath mill, was struck
in the eye by piece of knotty
wood. This is the second ac-
cident of the kind that has hap
pened to Mr.. Kenny in month.
An accident at the Bay Shore
mill caused one side of the mill
to shut down Tuesday morning.
The piston rod on the steam feed
broke and went through the head
of the cylinder. The head WAS
broken and parts fell in all pal t )
of the mill. The piston. rod con-
tinued on its way narrrwly
missed Joe Green one of the
employees. Although his name
is "Green" it could have been
changed to "White" just at that
time. The accident created no
little excitement at the time. 1t
might have been serious, as four
men are working in direct line
of it. 1t struck piece of timber
and in this way was prevented
from doing more damage.

ANCIENT ENGINEERS.
Great Feat Accomplished $500 Years
Auo.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Unmistakable evidence exists that g.
500 years ago certain Hebrew engineers
Gin the time OF King Heze-Kiah) ex-
ecuted exactly the same kind Of work
which was carried out in the Simplon
tunnel. though perhaps on a Slightly
smaller scale.
DR.. Bertholet. a professor at the Uni
yersity OF Basic, is the gentleman who
claims to nave made this discovery.
The Jewish records state that King
Heze-Kiah, or Ezekias, who reigned ut
Jerusalem 727 b. c.. vas nue. troubled
at the bad state of water supplied to
the people of that city. He accordingly
had a vast reservoir made at the gates
OF the city, to which water was fed
from various springs lying at greater
or less distances from the reservoir in
question.
At first his project seemed doomed
to failure, as there existed between
Jerusalem and the springs from Which
the water was to be derived a high
chain of hills, over which it would be
impossible to convey the water. 1t was
therefore determined to open a passage
for n water through the solid rock.
One of the Sirach manuscripts, dating
from this period. states in his nne
ton: "Heze-kiah fortified his city by
bringing water thereto. and he bored
through the solid rock by means of
pIoHZe. ana ne cOllected the water IN
a reservoir"
Recent explorations have enabled
this predecessor of the Simplon to be
thoroughly Identified. 1t is said to be
the Shiloan tunnel. by means of which
water was brought down from Il source
TO the eas of Jerusalem and poured
into the pool of Sloan, mentioned in
the bible. This conduit is 800 yards
long. The distance, as the bird flies,
The two months nT the tl1nnal
is also only $50 yards, which proves
that the work was not executed in a
perfectly straight line-due doubtless
to he difficulties which the engineers
encountered in their task, which (for
the period) was of a really marvellous
nature.
That the work was commenced from
both ends of the tunne is not only
proved by the inscription. but also by
the fact that the marks of the boring
tools, picks. etc, may still be seen, all
bearing in opposite directions. The di-
rectlon of the tunnel was altered sew
eral times during the construction
thereof, as there are several short gall
leries. which We're evidently abandoned
was done out of line. The noor of the
tunnel is finished with the greatest
care, and the workings vary from five
eighths of a yard to one yard in width
by from three feet to min feet in
height. more or less. according to the
hardness of the rock.
In the light of modern engineering
science the following questions suggest
themselves: How did these oldtime en-
sineers gauge their direction, recognize
and remedy their errors in alignment?
What tools did they use to execute a
piece of work which has remained
without equal for $500 years.
