ADVERTISING.
One of the Hnny NnrveIs of This
Progressive Age.

Among the many marvels Of this
marvellous age there is none more
striking and none more characteristic
than the art Of advertising as develop
ed in modern times. We talk much
about the wonders of the telephone
and the phnno@aph, about the aston
ishmg expansion Of railroads and teleg
raphy. but here we have au industry
rs remarkable for its extension and as
wide ana varied in its applications as
anything of mans device in any era Of
the worlds history. When there is
brought into consideration the vast
amount of money expended in adver-
tiSing in our day. the novel ana In
genius methods employed and the eX-
pert skill ana artistic talent engaged in
the business, one may begin to realize
what wide field has been opened here
for some of tie highest and most use
ful forms of human cudcayOr.
With all its abuses and they are not
few it remains true that advertising
IS one of the greatest of popular edu-
Gators and one of the chief promoters
Of human happiness and prosperity,
and there are yet many ways IN which
it may be extended To- the still greater
benefit of the world. No good reason
exists why the churches. the Sunday
schools. the missionary societies and
other agencies of good should not ad-
yertisc far more than they do and thus
add t. the membership and their power
IN the community. To set their ad-
vantages, aims ana benefits before the
public in proper way and form would
involve no loss of dignity or prestige,
while it would almost certainly widen
their influence
The time must come, too, when the
absurd code which prohibits physicians
and other professional classes from ad-
vcrtisiug themselves must be abolished.
There Is nothing but a sentiment to
prevent 1t and a very weak sentiment
ut that. II should be no more infra
dig for a physician or lawyer to seek
patients or clients through the medium
Of print than ii is for teachers. insur-

members of any other honorable trade

MACKEREL SKIES.
Theories About How 'Ghese Cloud
Formations Are Caused.

Theories About How Ihese Cloud
Formations Are Caused.
The mackcrcl sky comes from the
same causes as all the cirrus clouds, so
called from the beautiful curl their
fragments often assume, such as
"mackcreI skies" mares tails" and
cats tails" MeteOrolOgiSts are not
agreed as to the cause, there being two
explanations.
1t has been suggested that these cir
rus clouds are the heads of columns Of
vapor rising from the earth and pre-
cipitatcd as soon as they attain n GER
tain elevation. rarely less than three
miles above the earth G5.S4O feet and
often five or six miles C2G,O00 to 10000
feet. If this be 50 the visible cloud
forms the capital Of an invisible pillar
Of saturated air
The second explanation is that they
are caused I'm the higher regions of the
atmosphere by the meeting of two cur
rents Of air of different water bearing
capacity. causing them to form into
parallel bands, each belt being com
posed Of light. airy fragments, slightly
altered IN appearance according to
slight difference in conditions under
which they are formed 1t has been
supposed that such clouds are compos-
ed Of particles of snow.
1t might be added that they occur in
systems. long ranks of them extending
in one direction for vast distances and
being occasionally crossed by other
systems at other but also extreme al
titudcS.
