Atmospheric Weight.

At the sea level, with the barometer marking 80 inches and the thermon- eter 32 degrees F., cubic foot of pure dry air weighs about 565 grains troy The weight of a cubic foot of watc, vapor 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 hans, about the surface of the earth, it shows that the air Is lighto. than the smoke When the air is dry
 it Is heavier than the smoke, and tho latter therefore ascends. The weigh: of the eaith's atmosphere, or, in othe, words. the pressure exerted upon tic earth by the atmosphere, is about the same as would be exerted by a fool of water thlrty-three feet in height over the globe. At the sea level the pressure of the atmosphere Is about fifteen pounds to the square inch. \ man of ordinary size thus bears all the time pressure of about 30OO0 pounds. but he does not feel 1t, 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 maintaining state of equilibrium.

RAILWAY
 CUSTER SUIT

St. Joseph, Mo, Oct. "A hearing will be held tomorrow on the appli- eaton. of the Atchison, Topeka X San ta Fe railroad for a permanent in- junction restraining John F. Swang- err, secretary of state, from enforcing the law providing for the revocation of the license of foreign railroad which shall remove a suit or proceed ing to any federal court from a lower court. \ temporary restraining order to this effect was issued some time ago by Judge Smith McPherson of the United States circuit court, and at torneys for the Santa Fe railroad will appear tomorrow and argue that the order should be made permanent. The decision in the case is awaited with great interest, as it is believed it will have profound effect in the controversy now being waged over state rights.
 The case grew out of the intention of the Santa Fe roads legal depart ment to remove damage suit brought in the Macon county circuit court to the federal court. The state Jaw prohibiting such action was pass ed at the last session of the legisla- ture and provides that if any foreign railroad, doing business in Missouri, shall remove any suits or legal pro- ceedings to any federal court or bring certain suits against any citi- zen in the federal courts, the secre- tary of state shall be empowered to revoke it's license The railroad con- pany asks that this law be declared unconstitutional and that the secre- tary of state be restrained by the federal courts from putting it into effect.

Goldfeld, Nevada, Oct Is
Some of the smaller properties IN
the Goldfeld district were closed
down to-day as a result OF the
notice given by the Miners Union
that none of its members would
hereafter work for any mine or
lease not shipping ore unless the
company operating under the
same established a semi-monthly
pay day. Nearly all the com
panies complied with the require
ment of the union, or were pay

sequently when the rule was put

About a year and a half ago he called
on President Roosevelt at Washington
and explained the object of his expedi-
tion-namely. to settle the question
whether or not there is a continent or
q great archipelago off the Siberian
coast somewhere between the Parry Is
lands and Wrangel Land. The expedi-
ton sailed from British Columbia In
May. 1906, flying the British and
American flags.
A report from Captain Mikkelsen
and from Ernest Leffingwell of Knox
vile, ILL.,, whose father contributed con-
siderable money toward fitting out the
party, said that the sledge trip to the
north of Alaska had covered 800 miles
and that the explorers had crossed the
edge of the continental shelf twice.
while their soundings at fifty miles off
the coast showed a depth of 2,060 feet
without touching bottom, a fact
against the theory of the existence In
that part of the globe of a continent
or archipelago. After the sinking OF
the Duchess of Bedford, in which the
expedition sailed. the members Of the
party got safely. to land by crossing

work done there by DR.. Robert

about eighteen months since the dis

RIGA ON his latest mission. Letters
from him dated at Sese, near En-

In Berlin, in which some of the results
Of his Investigations and experiments
were recounted. 1t is reported that ma

In German territory, implored the
''great white wizard" to come and cure
their dying relatives. Accompanied by

No Booze for BOOSerS

The Hyde Park Liquor Dealers
Association of Chicago, as a mat
ter of self protection. has started
a crusade against those who over
imbibe. Notices have been sent
out by the secretary of the asso-
citation requesting each bartender
to ask for the photograph of every
drunkard from his wife or family
in case complaint is made about
selling liquor to him. The pic
lures then are to be sent to the
secretary of the association and
he in turn is to have copies made
and sent to every member of the
association. These pictures then
are to be pasted on the mirrors
behind the bar so that the dis
penser of drinks may see at a
glance if he is selling liquor to a
drunkard. Two members of the
association lately have been prose-
cuted by indignant wives for hav-
ing sold intoxicating drinks to
their husbands. This caused the
movement to brand the drunkards.
