Same as in Other Places Except IL
 Contains No Microbes.
 It Is an error to think that the chem ical composition of the air differs es- sentially wherever the sample may be taken. The relation of oxygen to nitro gen and other constituents Is the same whether 1t be on the heights of the Alps or at the surface of the sea. The fa- 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 air of high attitudes contains no mil crobes and is, In fact, sterile, while near the ground and some hundred feet above It microbes are abundant. In the air of towns and crowded places not only does the microbe impurity in- crease, but other impurities, such as the products of combustion of coal, ac- crue also.
 Several Investigators have found traces of hydrogen and certain hydro cartoons in the air, especially in pine, oak and birch forests. It is to these bodies, doubtless consisting of traces of essential oils, that the curative ef- fleets 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, az 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 a higher altitude Is reached until they disappear altogether. It 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 vegetation.

FOR STUDY OF GAELIC.

these "conversa zion familiari,' as they
are called at the Vatican, owing to a
talking machine presented to the Pope
by an American Catholic of Baltimore.
The Pope enjoyed listening to the mu-

the noble guards who patronize music
halls made the startling discovery that
several Neapolitan songs, which We're

the nuns of this particular convent were

The Cardinal was highly amused at

came Located in the Irish Sea.
1t is really remarkable how little is
known about the Isle, Of Man outside
of the British Isles, of which it may
be called, in more senses than one. the
center 1t lies in the Irish sea about
equally distant from England. Ireland
and Scotland-that is to say, from 40
to so miles away from each of these
countries, which are around It.
The Isle of Man is notable in many
ways. How it came to be where it is
located is something that has been ac-
counted for by many fabulous stories
handed down from another to child
from the dimnest antiquity. One of
these is to the effect that one Fin
Manx legends--having defeated a. big
Scottish giant that had long plagued
the people of Ireland, was pursuing
him, when. finding that the bare
legged Highlander was escaping. he
plunged his hands into the ground,
tore up rocks and earth and threw
them after the fugitive. All this just
missed the giant and it is related that
the mighty mass of rocks and clay fell
into the middle of the Irish sea, and
there became the Isle of Man; and it
is declared that the hole from which
the gigantic handful was torn became
Lough Neagh, a lake i'm Ireland.
