Atmospherio Wejqht,

At the sea level, with the barometer
 marking 80 inches and the thermom.
 eter 32 degrees F., cubic foot of pure
 dry air. weighs abol 565 grains troy.
 The weight of cubic foot of water
 yapor under the same conditions is
 only 352 grains. When vapor is mixed
 with dry air, therefore, the resulting
 compound is lighter-that is to say,
 damp air is lighter than dry air. In stormy weather the air is lighter than it is in fair weather and not heavier, as many persons suppose. When smoke hangs about the surface of the earth, it shows that the air Is lighter than the smoke. When the air is dry, it is heavier than the smoke, and the latter therefore ascends. The weight of the earth's atmosphere, or, in other words, the pressure exerted upon the earth by the atmosphere, is about the same as would be exerted by a flood of water thirty three feet in height over the globe. At the sea level the pressure of the atmosphere is about fifteen pounds to the square inch. A man of ordinary size thus bears all the time pressure of about 30,OO0 pounds, but he does not feel it, because the pressure is exerted in every direction above, below and around him-and be- cause his body is filled with air and other fluids that press outward, thus a state of equilibrium.

S0iooIaH odd9c SSSFSS 0ou FNS VII "christ" In Gotham's School Hymns. St. John, N. B., Nov. 27.-The order issued by New York school authorities at the instance of the Jews forbiddine reference to Christmas by the teachers or pupils in the school exercises was the subject of remarks from the bench by Judge Daniel l.. Harrington of tho supreme court in his customary ad. dress to the grand jury. He said:
 '"This wiping out of the minds and hearts iof the children of all reference to Christ the Blessed Saviour, all ref. erence to the religion of which we boast, wiping it out and eliminating it from their thoughts, the name of him whom we worship, is fearful to con. template. Our children are the bone of the country, and it is our duty to inform them on matters religious. Think of it, in New York no child shall hear the name of Christ, espe- cially at the joyous season, the ap- proach of Christmas. His name is to be stricken from the hymns and car. ols. It is great calamity that such should occur in great country of SO,000,000 of people. It will be said that it is not my place to make these remarks from the bench, but I feel that it is my duty"

MAN AND HIS HORSE.
The Way to Show Approval That the
 Animal Will Appreciate.

The Way to Show Approval That the
 Animal Will Appreciate.
 Caress plays no small part in de- yeloping the best in any horse, but this Is never to be by word of mouth. You may as we'll curse as bless for all your horse knows or cares. The caress of the hand addressed to the part with which the animal has just performed some feat is always appreciated-the expression shows that-and one loves to see a good man as he lands safe over a big place just reach back and give the clever horse a loving pat or two on that swelling muscular loin which has been the chief agent in negotiating the obstruction.
 Do not pat neck or shoulder or any part not actively engaged in the under taking. Caress may do no good, but 1t is pleasant to believe that it does. and we are quite positive that the voice simply diyerts attention. The for mer mode of address is at least worthy of trial if only as a mark of apprecia- tion between two gentlemen. The threatening tones appear sometimes serviceabIe. but this is so only when horses have been abused and associate punishment with the stern voice. The wild horse is as indifferent to the voice of affection as to that of rage.-From Schooling the Hunter" by Frank II. Ware in Outing Magazine.

ScantiIy Clad.

Both young men were dignity clad and suffered terribly during the night from exposure to the rain and sleet. When dawn broke they rigged up an improvised signal of distress with a piece of Losee's shirt tied ito the boat hook and divided the day into watch es, each taking turns at sleeping be- low. The fog was very thick all day Sunday, and it was impossible to see except few yards around them. The rain and sleet continued, but they kept up their vigil all day long.
 Their suffering during Monday had been terrible. but when darkness fell they repeated their tactics of the night before, both remaining on deck and shouting at intervals to warn any ap- proaching boat of their proximity.
 By dawn yesterday the two men, all most frozen, had to kick and pound each other to keep from going to sleep. During the day they recovered bit by taking alternate rests below. They simply lay in the bottom of the boat until it struck on the shore, and they were carried to the fisherman's cot tage half unconscious.

STARVED THREE DAYS
Two Men Are Adrift Seventy-two
 Hours at Sea In Gale.
THEIR CRAFT GETS DISABLED
Lightly Clad and Almost Frozen, They Had to Kick and Pound Each Other to Keep Awake - Finally Land at Point Cove.

Navesink, N. J., Nov. 27.-Half dea'
 of exposure, hunger and exhaustion
 two young men drifted on to the Jer
 sey shore at Point City cove, abou
 fifteen miles from Atlantic Highlands
 in a disabled fifteen foot sloop an( after being revived at nearby fisher mans cottage told a remarkable stor! of having drifted at sea for over sev enty two hours in the face of the cold rain and stiff wind of the last three days without food or drink.
 After being piled with hot coffee anC gruel the young men told their story They said they were Charles Losee of Ninety third street and Fifth avenue Brooklyn, and George Doff of Ninety, second street and Battery place, Brook. lyn. They left their homes on Satur- day for an afternoon of deep sea fish ing. Having chartered the fifteen foot sloop Island Queen, they left Fort Hamilton at about noon and proceeded to a point about mile and half out side of Sandy Hook. They intended to return home at nightfall and so took no provisions with them except a few sandwiches and couple of bottles of ginger ale.
 No Light on Board.
 While shifting their position late in the afternoon on Saturday sudden squall struck them. They had been so occupied with their fishing that they had not noticed the storms approach. The wind blew a gale, and before they could reef their sails the mast was snapped off short.
 A heavy sea sprang up immediately, and they had all they could do to keep the boat from being swamped. By cutting loose the wreckage and bailing for several hours they succeeded in keeping the boat from filling, but by the time they had got out of this dan ger darkness had come on, and they could not tell where they were. By the swell and the direction of the wind the nearest bearings that they could take told them they they were many miles. off shore. They searched the boat and found that there was not light of any description on board, so they had to sit up all night. They were in imminent danger of being blown farther out to sea or run down by larger boat and so kept up con- tinual shouting all night long.
