How Much Air We Have.

One hundred and thirty-one miles is
the height Of the atmosphere as meas
ured by Professor T. ]. J. See, who
determines the thickness of the air
envelope 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 GER
tainty 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 cal
culated the height Of the smallest illu-
minated particles Of oxygen and nitro
gen which give to the sky its blueness

wave lengths Of the suns light The

IL possibly a little difficult of exact
observation, but the method Is not more
doubtful than that based on the OBJ
servation Of shooting stars. The shoot
ing star method gives a result not
greatly differing from the vanishing
blue method. The former gives the

coNsPlRAToRs AGAINST GRAND
DUKE NICHOLAS FAIL IN At.
TEMPT TO KILL HIM.

q. Petersburg, Aug. 11.-Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, presi-
dent of the council of national de-
Tense, narrowly escaped assassination
at the hands of the imperial guards in
the guard camp at Krasnoye-Selo. 1t
appears that the grand duke was per-
sonally reviewing, maneuvering and
putting the troops through blank fir
ing practice when he suddenly was
startled by the wasp.like hiss of bull
lets about his head. Fortunately
neither himself nor his horse was
touched. The command to cease fr-
ing was Immediately given and the
soldiers Of the regiment from which
the bullets came were marched back
to their quarters and an Investigation
was begun In the hope Of ascertaining
from the barrels Of the rifles which
of the soldiers fired ball cartridges.
Several arrests are understood to have
been made.
Afterwards it was definitely estab-
lished that the shots were fired by the
First battalion of the sharpshooters
of the guard, who advanced in rushes,
while making a sham attack on an
entrenched position. Fully 100 shots
were fired, but the impotence of the
conspirators led them to open fire at
such a distance as to Illustrate their
object.

How 60 Learn . Foreign Language.
One may begin the attempts Of free
expression, and thus an independent
use Of the language, with a compare
lively small vocabulary. Conscientious
reading and well conducted CONVERSE
lions will then quickly enlarge the vo-
cabulary and develop the facility of ex-
preston. But / cannot lay too much
stress upon the fact that the free and
exact rendering Of ones own thought
in writing Is the most efficient exercise
In acquiring a language. In mere con-
versation we are apt to slip over diff
culties by permitting ourselves vague
ness and inaccuracies of expression
which would sternly demand correc-
tion-and correction, too, easily kept
in mind-when the written words look
US in the face. To quicken the efficacy
Of this exercise requires, Of course, a
teacher able not only to pound gram
NAUTICAL rules into the head of the pu-
pill, but also to stir up In the study of
the language a mentally active inter-
est in the subjects spoken or written
about-Carl SchurZ's "reminiscences In

A French Verdict.

All juries have way of tempering
Justice with mercy and strict logic
with good or bad sense French juries
excel in these practices. A Nine. Ca
naby Of Bordeaux was accused of hav-
ing forged two prescriptions and Of
having thereby obtained large quaint
ties of poison, some Of which she ad-
ministered to her husband, who nearly
died and was only saved by his doctor
who suspected something wrong and
took him away. The evidence was
overwhelming, for the prisoner COM
pletely failed to give any plausible ex-
PLANTATION as to why she wanted the
peterborough. as the chemist said, to
kill two regiments. Nevertheless the
Jury found Nine. Canaby guilty of
forging the prescriptions, but not guilty
Of attempting to poison her husband.
Perhaps the jury thought the husband
imprisoned was punishment enough in
himself for one crime.

All through the ages the ruby has
been called the stone OF good luck. Ac-
cording to the old stories. whoever
owned a ruby would never fail In any
thing he undertook, for that beautiful
jewel held In its glowing red heart
magic power which always brought
success. No matter how dangerous the
task, the ruby was sure to give cour-
age and victory. In the days Of an
Client Greece when the rich man wish
ed to express to q friend good wishes
for wealth or honor he sent to him
ruby engraved with the figures Of an
orator. Today the ruby is considered
the luckiest Of stones, though the good
fortune, as we see II, lies in the own
ing Of anything 80 precious, for even
the diamond Is not SO valuable gem.
The ruby IL the stone Of July, and the
fire which abides In its red heart Is
truly typical of that burning month Of
summer. According to legend. howev-
er, this fire varied with the fortune of
the owner. A popular superstition in
regard to the ruby was the belief In
It's power to foretell danger or disaster
by the changing of It's color. 1t was
favorite talisman and love token In the
time of the crusaders.-St Nicholas.

FOR TAKING REBATES
FEDERAL GRAND JURY AT JAMES
TOWN, N. v, INDiCTS STAND
ARD OIL COMPANY.

jamestown, N. Y, Aug. 10.-The
federal grand jury for the Western
district of New York has returned in
dictments against the Standard Oil
company of New York, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company and the
Vacuum Oil company of Rochester
for violations of the interstate COM
merce law.
There are twenty-four counts in
each indictment of the Standard Oil
company and of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company and a smaller num-
Der against the Vacuum Oil company.
The specific charges allege that the
Pennsylvania Railroad company grant
ed to the Standard Oil company spe.
cial concessions In the shipments of
freight and that the Standard Oil
company did "unlawfully and know
ingly accept from the Pennsylvania
Railroad company concession In re-
spect to the transportation of certain
Of its property In interstate commerce,
whereby and by which device that
property was transported In such
commerce at q less rate than that
named In the tariffs so published and
filed by said Pennsylvania Railroad
company" In violation of the statutes.
The indictment against the Vacuum
OIL company Of Rochester Is on ex-
actly similar grounds-that special
concessions were accepted from the
Pennsylvania Railroad company.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 for each
company. The cases will probably be
tried at Lockport In October.

Inebriety and the Eating of Fruit.

There is but one sure cure for the
drinking disease or habit, and that is
the simplest of all. The cure consists
In eating fruits. That will cure the
worst case Of inebriety that ever af-
fiicted a person. 1t will entirely de-
stroy the taste for intoxicants and will
make the drunkard return to the
thoughts and tastes of his childhood.
No person ever saw man or woman
who liked fruit and who had an APP
petite for drink. No person ever saw
a man or woman with an appetite for
drink who liked fruit The two tastes
are at deadly enmity with each other,
and there is no room for both of them

will surely destroy the other.-What to

Minneapolis, Aug. 14-This was re
union day at the G. A. r. encampment
and the gatherings of old soldiers were
held in all parts of the city and at all
hours of the day between a. m. and
midnight. In addition to these fea-
lures of the day there were receptions,
the majority of them being all day
affairs. by various patriotic societies,
Masonic bodies and various organiza-
tions affiliated with the Grand Army.
The crowd of visitors was greatly
increased during the day, the rush of
travel apparently reaching its climax.
1t was said that 5000 visitors came in
during the night from Chicago alone.
1t is believed by the railroad men that
the total number of visitors will be
about $4,000. So far there has been
no difficulty in caring for the crowd
and excellent accommodations have
been provided for all arrivals.
During the evening a public camp
fire was held In the Auditorium, ad-
dresses of welcome to the old soldiers
and their friends being made by Gov
ernor Johnson, Mayor Jones of Min
neapolis and Levi Longfellow, depart
ment commander of Minnesota. Com
mander-in-Chief Tanner responded in
