The AtmosDhere.

Even if it were possible for man to
live without eathing air he could not
exist on the earth if it were without an
atmosphere. Plants derive carbon, the
most important element of their food,
from the air, and without plants there
could be no food for animals and there
fore no human beings. Water also
cones from the atmosphere, but if
there were no water there could be
neither plants nor animals. If food and
water could be supplied in some other
way the world would still be unhabit-
able by plants and animals owing to
the severity Of the cold. Without an at
mosphere there would be no winds and
consequently no waves or ocean cur
rents. The sea-if we may suppose one
to have been supplied by some un-
known cause-would be stagnant
pool, uninhabitable by seaweed or fish.

Foresaw His Death in Wei.

Four days before his death overlook
him Ben Smith foresaw his end and
committed his fears to paper. Smith
was a homesteader, eighteen miles
north of Coulee. On May IL he ad-
dressed a letter to the county clerk of
Douglas county stating he feared his
end would come before he was through
with well he was digging. The note
left directions for the disposition of
his effects and was left in his cabin.
On Tuesday the violent death that
Smith foresaw overlook him. Two
heavy blasts were heard from the well
he was sinking, and, as the settler was
not seen about the place for some
days, neighbors investigated the mat
ter. The we'll was partly full of water,
and this being drawn off Smiths dis
membered remains were found at I'll e
bottom. Both legs and an arm were
torn off by the explosion. A broken
ladder gave the clew to the mans
death. It was evident that after
lighting the fuses he started for the
surface, only to be precipitated to the
bottom of the shaft by the collapse of
the ladder.-Tacoma, Ga, Ledger.

Kansas City, Aug. 23.-The washing
