Mr. TruesdaLe Says He Is in Har-
NOM zcith Mutual Officers

William X. Truesdale. chairman Of the Mutual
Life Investigating committee. has addressed let
ter TO Charles A. Peabody president OF the Mutual
calling his attention 10 stories printed in the daily
papers concerning alleged strained relations be-
tween the committee and the officers OF the Mutual
He says the statements to this effect wrong
and calculated to do harm The letter follows:
Ny attention has just been called to an article
appearing in this mornings Tribune, which claims
70 give inside information 10 the effect that the
relations between the special investigating COM
mittee, the one hand, and the officers and some
of the trustees. on the other, have become very
strained and that the committee is not getting
officials of the company in securing information
and data necessary TO carry on its work; that the
committee being blocked in its efforts in DIFF
fcreut directions and that the patience OF several
members of the committee has been tried almost
the limit.
ferenCes to be drawn therefrOm are wrong. and
calculated to work great injury 20 the company,
are cooperating in good faith with our committee
in efforts to reorganze the affairs Of the com
with the least possible delay.
II is untrue that the requests Of committee
certain of the records OF the supply department
have not been found. all reasonable efforts of the
called to the missing documents have been. I
believe exerted to find and produce them and all
the whereabouts of these records any other
subject upon which our committee has requested
them TO appear before II have without a single
exception far as I know, promptly appeared
before our committee and made reply 70 all IN
on behalf Of our committee greatly deplore the
studied and apparently persistent efforts being
the impression that serious dissensions exist be-
tween the members of our committee and their
co-trustees or between them and the officers of
best interests OF the company at heart will do
whatever lies in his power to correct these false
reports and as far as possible undo the harm they
have already done.

Height of the Atmosphere.

One hundred and thirty-one miles is
the height of the atmosphere as meas
ured by Prof. r. J. J. See. who defer
mines the thickness Of the air envelope
10y noting the difference between the time
Of sunset and the complete disappearance
Of blue from the sky.
The moment at which the blue changes
into black can be observed quite easily
with approximate certainty by the naked
eye when the air is clear, and by trjgo-
nometry may bee ascertained the distance
below the horizon Of the sun at the mo-
ment of change. BY this means NAV be
calculated the height Of the smallest
Illuminated particles of oxygen and nj
trogen which give TO the sky its bluencss
Of tint by the reflection Of the smallest
wave lengths Of the suns light
The instant of change from blue to
black is possibly a little difficult of exact
observation. but the method is not more
doubtful than that based on the obser-
Xation 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 at
mosphere at 100 miles.-Chicago Tribune.
