Three LAYERS Of Atmosphere.

II appears that in the atmosphere
there are three distinct currents OF
air, the first lying at an elevation
of from 900 to 1900 meters. the second
at from 900 to 1000 meters and the
upper one at from 5000 to 5000 me-
tiers above the surface of the earth.
These are TO an extent separate cur
rents. flowing each with its own We
locity. At the bottom of each of tho
layers the stratus clouds are formed.
and at the top of each Of the layers
occur the cumulus clouds. This sug-
gests that the stratus originate at the
bottom of n moving current and the
cumulus at the top.s 1t is probable,
then. that the stratus owe their origin
to the difference In velocity and tenn
perature of the two layers, while the
cumulus are formed by ascending cur
rents within the layer of air.

Snake Myths.

Snakes have no medicinal qualities,
and the following popular notions are
myths: That gals of snakes are an
antidote for snake bites; that their oil
is good for rheumatism, badness and
deafness; that wearing their skins Will
cure rheumatism or stiffness; that a
snake heart, oil or blood is good for
consumption or other ills; that snake
flesh should be eaten for blood disor-
ders; that Il second bite of the snake
I'm the same place will cure or counter
act the first bite, that rattlers of snakes
are charms.

MASTERY OF THE NILE.
The Method by Which tho Flow o
Water Is Controlled.

Every morning from n little room of
a great white house on the eastern
shore of the Nile ut ASsouan Is clicked
by telegraph to Cairo the question.
''IIow much water?" The answer
comes so many thousand gallons more
or SO many thousand gallons less. a
button Is pressed. the water which
flows under the iron bridge at Cairo is
increased or diminished some ten days
later in accordance with the telegraph.
ic answer, and the intervening valley
between Assouan and Cairo has n lit
tie more or a little less water OF its
surface. The man at the button may
bring Joy or sorrow to thousands OF
little farms-it is all according to the
message he receives.
From the great white house there
extends across the river n granite wall
or dam 100 feet high. Halfway up
this wall and stretching its entire
length n line of shutters opens or
closes 10y a pressure of the button.
In the winter months a huge lake ex-
pands to the southwark, which has ev-
cry appearance of being a flood. for
in certain places the tops of palm trees
are discernible above its surface, and
the SUBMITS Of inundated ruins appar-
entity mark the sites of sunken cities.
AS the days go by and Cairo demands
more and more water the palm trees
and the ruins seem to rise from their
watery beds until In June and early
July the river flows freely with all its
historic indolence.-New York Times.

AN iMPlOSlON.
n Is tho Opposite of an Explosion and
Less Familiar.

Less Familiar.
Every one knows what an explosion
Is, but It's opposite, an %implosion. Is
less familiar. At great depths In the
sea the conditions are favorable for
its production. At $500 fathoms the
pressure is, roughly speaking, two and
a half tons to the square inch-that is
to say. several times greater than the
pressure exerted by the steam upon
the piston of Il powerful engine.
An interesting experiment to illus
trate the enormous force of this deep
sea pressure was made on the Alba
tross. a government vessel engaged in
deep sea exploration.
A trick glass tube several inches In
length full Of air was Theoretically
sealed at both ends. This was wrap.
ped In flannel and placed In one of the
wide copper cylinders used to protect
deep sea thermometers when they are
sent down with the sounding appa-
ratus. The copper cylinder had holes
bored I'm ii, so hat the water had free
access inside, round the glass. The
case was then sent down to a depth
of 1000 fathoms and drawn up again.
1t was found that the cylinder was
bulged and bent inward, just as IL II
had been crumbled inward by being
violently squeezed. The glass tube
itself, within its flannel wrapper. was
reduced to a fine powder, almost like
snow. The glass tube. It would seem
as it slowly descended. held out long
against the pressure, but at last sud
denly gave way and was crushed by
the violence Of the action to a fine
powder.
This process. exactly the reverse OF
an explosion. Is termed an imploslon

Enrrarut,n Pig.

DAVID G. Farragut was but thirteen
years old when he served as midship-
man under Porter In the battle of the
Essex against the Phoebe and Cherub.
He was taken to the Phoebe as a pris-
oner of war, says his biographer, and
came aboard crying from modification.
At the same moment, however. Brit
sh MILDLY also came alongside with a

"Ho, boys, fine grunterP'

and determined to hold on till forced to
surrender.

An amusing paper In Chambers Jour-
nal on John Richardson, the illiterate
and successful English Snowman Of the
last century, contains this story:
1t was during the earlier and less for
tunate part of his pilgrimage that he
numbered Edmund Kean among his
company. The old Snowman was not a
little proud of this association and used
to give himself some credit for having
had hand In Keans theatrical educa-
ton. When Macready's name was be-
coming known in the dramatic world
Richardson was asked If he had seen
him.
'No, muster" he said, IT know moth

bone as no one knows-one o. them
chaps as ain't had any eddication for
the thing. He never was with me, as
Edmund Kean and them riglars was"

The oldest Bank Notes.

The Oldest bank notes in the world
are the 'flying money" or convenient
money, first issued in China In 2697 B.
@. One writer tells that the ancient
Chinese bank notes were In many re-
spects similar to those Of the present
day, bearing the name Of the bank, the
date of issue, the number of the note,
the signature Of the official who is
sued 1t and its value In both figures
and words. On the top Of these curl
GUS notes was the following phllosoph-
ic Injunction: Produce all you can;
spend with economy" The note was
printed In blue ink on paper made
from the fiber of the mulberry tree.
One of these notes bearing the date
1899 B. @. is still preserved In the Ash

UNION CARPENTERS STATE GRIEVAN-
CES TO CONTRACTORS
Declare They VIII Not Work
With NOn-UnIon Men After
March 1st Next

A meeting OF Union carpenters was
scheduled to convene at the Holly
Beach borough hall on T Thursday night,
December 2Sth. The carpenters
appeared on the scene promptly but
few of the contractors responded. The
object of the meeting was to adjust a
difference between employee and
employer. The union requests that no
non-union men be employed on the
same job with Union employees. If
contractors wish to employ non-union
"handy-men, as they are often term
ed, they must re employed on job
where no union labor is used. In other
words the Union has announced that
its members will not work alongside OF
those outside the pale. They gave
notice at this meeting that these con-
ditions must be complied with by
March l, 1907.
Contractor SculIy, when interviewed,
said that the notice did not affect him
for he employed union labor only.
Contractor Frank E. Smith says the
situation does not worry him for he
employs only few union men and
they can quit work at their pleasure.
Contractor T. s. Goslin was not present
at the meeting but when phoned
simply stated, "You know my stand
in the matter"

Judge Harlan and James B. McCrea-
ry once canvassed Kentucky together
as the Republican and Democratic can
didates for governor. They Travelled
about the state on joint debating trip
and in many small mountain places
had to sleep In the same bed. They
were warm personal friends and SO
did not object to this intimacy. One
night Mr.. Harlan got into bed first.
Senator McCreary was not far behind,
and just as he entered the bed Judge
Harlan raised bis bulky form and said
In his stentorian voice, "McCreary,
there is one thing certain-the next
governor of Kentucky is In this bed"
AS he spoke the bed Stats broke, and
Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Sena-
tor McCreary caught and held himself
in bed, and. as Judge Harlan reached
the floor, said: John, you are right.
The next governor Of Kentucky is still
