r
On Saturday the long expected foot
ball game between Pierre and Huron
was played on the grounds below the
school house. The teams we're quite
evenly matched and the game was in
deed an exciting one. To say that all
the players played we'll is putting it
mildly, for all played like veterans, al
though many had not played in a game
before. touchdown was made in the
first half on line smash and then
goal was handsomely kicked. In the
last half Huron drop kicked: for goal
and scored four points. The score at
the end was 6 to 4 in Pierre's favor.
The Huron boys returned to Huron at
$3.50. The Pierre team will play re.
turn game at Huron in the near future.

1t Is an error to think that the chem

whether it be on the heights Of the Alps

vorable effects, therefore, of a change
of air are not to be explained by any
difference in the proportions Of Its gas
eous constituents. The important diff
ference is the meteorological one The

near the ground and some hundred feet
above 1t microbes are abundant In the,
air Of towns and crowded places not
only does the microbe impurity in

the products Of combustion Of coal, &C

Several Investigators have found
traces Of hydrogen and certain hydro
carbons In the air, especially in pine,
oak and birch forests. 1t Is to these,
bodies, doubtless consisting Of traces
OF essential oils, that the curative ef-
fects of certain health resorts are
traced. Thus the locality of a fir for
est Is said to give relief in diseases Of
the respiratory tracts. But these traces
Of essential oils and aromatic product
must be counted, strictly speaking, as
impurities, since they are apparently
not necessary constituents of the air.
Recent analysis has shown that these
bodies tend to disappear in the air as
higher altitude Is reached until they
disappear altogether. 1t would seem,
therefore, that microbes, hydrocarbons
and entities other than oxygen and
nitrogen, and perhaps also argon, are
only incidental to the neighborhood of
human industry, animal life and damp
