The Sun From a Balloon.

At the height Of two miles the sun
shines with fierce intensity unknown
below, where the dust and the denser
air scatter the rays. which, thus diff
fused. lose their intensity while illu-
mining every nook and corner of our
houses. At heights exceeding five miles
this diffused light is mostly gone, and
the sun shines a glowing ball, sharply
outlined In a sky of which the blue is
SO dark as to approach blackness. At
the outer limits Of the atmosphere the
sun would appear a brilliant star of
massive size among other stars, and If
one stepped from it's burning rays into
shadow he would enter Egyptian dark
ness. At the height Of mile and
half we found it necessary to shelter
our faces to prevent sunburn, although
the air around us was but little warm
er than that of the previous night, be-
ing about As degrees. AS the afternoon
wore on and the balloon began to cool
and sink we were obliged to throw out
much sand. casting it away scoopful
at a time. and just after sunset it was
even necessary to empty two or three
bags at once.-H. 81. Clayton in Allan

A Chaotic Child.


Surely the mystery Of life was great
er than the mystery of death In the
case Of five-months-old child which
has been the subject of an inquest at
Battersea. 1t had what the doctor
calls "drumstick" fingers and toes. its
heart was on the right side instead Of
the left, the position of the lungs was
reversed, the aorta curved down the
right side instead Of the left, there was
no spleen, the liver was on the wrong
side, and there was no division be-
tween the two chambers Of the heart,
while the artery which should have
supplied the lungs with blood was clos
ed, the blood passing through q COM
munication between the aorta and the
remaining portion Of the pulmonary ar
terry. With all this jumbled anatomy
the child lived, and the medical evil
dence proved that its death was not
directly due to the disarranged organs,
put to an attack of bronchitis. Still,
death came mercifully. for the medical
view was that If the little one had
nved until it could stand 1t would have
died OF heart disease. That it breathed
at all proves the tenacity of life ana
forms comment on the vast sacrifice
OF healthily constituted children which
annually results from negligence.-Pall

Tho Queens Lesson.

One Of the ladies in waiting to the

table manners and to be very polite to
the queen.
The little girl came home in high
glee, and the mother asked her all

they eat any kind Of flesh or fish and

but. unlike bears, they do not remain
steadily in their dens, but often, at
any time in winter when there is a
warm spell or thaw, they will come

most comical sights I ever saw was a

RESUMPTION AT
 LUCKYCUSS MINE

.Toughnut property of the Consoli- dated company is being rushed under the supervision of Mart Hoar, and he expects to have the entire plant on the grounds at the Lucky Cuss. boilers up, and everything to begin the hoisting of ore within thirty days. Who will be given the appointment as foreman of the work has not been yet decided by Superintendent Macia, but will be announced later.
 Another bit of good news is the fact that the company has put three eight hour shifts at work on the Sil- yer Plume property which adjoins the Emerald on the south. This shaft is being sunk to open up the copper ore bodies that have been opened up on the 500 level and in the winzes sunk from that level in the Emerald The shaft on the Emerald is not in good shape and the company will now rush the work on the new shaft so that the extent of the copper deposits can fully be determined. The new shaft is now down to a depth of 175 and with the increased force it will soon reach the lower levels of the Emerald.
 The outlook for the district is at present more encouraging than it has been for some time.
