THE DUST IN THE AIR.
without 1t the Heat of the Sun Would
Be UnbearabIe.

The usefulness of dust is proclaim
ed by science despite all the house
wives of all the ages. Dust is part of
the machinery that produces cloud
and rain 1t is also a protection from
the sun. Without it the suns rays
would be unbearabIe. The reason
that sunburn is more easily acquired
on the mountains than in the lowlands
is said to be probably because of the
comparatively dustless air of the
mountainous regions.
A dustless atmosphere during rain
would mean much greater degree of
discomfort than rain ever brings.
Trees and buildings would be dripping
with moisture, our clothing and the
exposed parts of our bodies would be
constantly wet, umbrellas would be
ciassed as useless curioS, and instead
of trying to conquer the dust in the
house we should have to face a much
greater enemy in wet floors and drip
ping walls. In every drop of rain and
in every particle of cloud there is a
particle of dust. A sample OF air may
be taken anywhere and the number of
its dust particles accurately deter
mined. Dust, too, produces the glori-
Gus sunset effects in the evening sky,
thus causing the faint obscurity we
call twilight.
Twilight is always reflected glory.
The light comes from the sun, which
has in the meanwhile sunk below
the horizon. The reflector is an upper
layer of dust. Were the air perfectly
dustless there would be no twilight
Darkness would Immediately follow
the sunSet-EXchange.

PNEUMONIA.
Fresh Air Is the Best Cure as Well a
the Best Preventive.

The most effective weapon with
which to fight pneumonia is fresh air,
real fresh air, and lots OF it
The fact that pneumonia might De
called simply a shutting OF OF oxygen
shows how important ii is to give the
patient plenty of air. In one large
New York Hospital sufferers from the
disease are carried to the roof and
kept there day and night When your
child grows Ill, move it 10 the largest
and sunniest room in the house and
open the windows II il is too cold
for that, have another room near by
into which the patient may be moved
ST least three times a day to permit
2 thorough ventilation OF the sick
room. All unnecessary furniture anu
Ill pictures, hangihgs and other i'm
pedimenta should be taken out OF
both rooms.
An attack of pneumonia begins in
: manner which suggests a very bad
cold. The patient has a chill and Z
fever and suffers from pains in he
side A cough soon appears, and the
breath becomes short and quick The
valiant battle of the oyerwOrked heart
is indicated by a quick pulse and
flushing cheeks Soon there are signs
of great exhaustion, with headache,
sleeplessness and (sometimes) de-
lirium.
During all of this period the blood
is waging a tremendous war upon the
invading germs. Ii it is destined to
lose, the exhaustion will grow more
and more marked. and the patient will
die But if it is destined to win
there will come a time it will be be-
tween the fifth and the tenth day
when the patient will suddenly seem
brighter. The temperature will fall.
the breathing will be more regular,
and the violent jumping of the pulse
will cease When this happens, it is
Z sign that the battle is won.-Delin-

Tired Eyes.

People speak about their eyes be-
ing tired, meaning that the retina or
seeing portion of the eye is fatigued,
but such is not the case, as the re-
tina hardly ever gets tired. The IA
tigue is in the inner and outer mus
cles attached to the eyeball and the
muscle of accommodation which sur
rounds the lens of the eye. When a
near object is to be looked at this
muscle relaxes and allows the lens to
thicken. increasing its retroactive pow
er. The inner and outer muscles are
used In covering the eye on the OBJ
ject to be looked at, the inner one be-
ing especially used when a near OBJ
ject is looked at. 1t is in the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue
is felt, and relief is secured tenn
porarily by closing he eyes or gazing
at far distant objects. The usual in
dication Of strain is redness of the
rim of the eyelid, betokening a con-
gested state of the inner surface, &C
companied by some pain. Sometimes
this WEAKNESS indicates the need of
glasses rightly adapted to the person,
and in other cases the true remedy is
to massage the eye and its surround
ings as far as may be with the hand
wet in cold water.

NATURES MYSTERIES.
And the. Little That Man Really

while ago on finding myself sitting
next to a great physicist of asking

a dim and unfamiliar world, among

inner motion. l do not know that

The great man, with his amused

conscious of the beauty and the ho-
illness of knowledge. l said some
thing to him about the sense of power
that such knowledge must give. "Ah,"
he said, much of what l have told
you is not proved; it is only suspect
ed We are very much in the dark
about these things yet Probably if
a physicist of a hundred years hence
could overhear me he would be amaz-
ed TO think that a sensible man could
make such puerile statements. Power
no, it is not that, 1t rather makes
one realize ones feebleness in being
so uncertain about things that are

The Age of Niagara Falls.

1t is strange hcw estimates differ
as to the age Of the Niagara Falls.
Biologists have studied the question
for years, but they do not agree in
their conclusions. The old notion was
that changes in the level Of the land
around the great lakes produced the
Niagara river about $4,000 years ago.
Later investigation reduced this esti-
mate to 1900 years, wonderful diff
ference. Then Famous geologist
made it $4,000 years, which, in turn,
was subsequently reduced to 5000
years. The most recent estimate of
which the editor has heard Is that of
DIR. Spencer, who thinks that the river
is about $4,000 years old and the falls,
81 900 years old. At one time, thous-
ands of years ago, the height of the
falls was about 420 feet.-Chicago

Abelard and HeIOise.

Heloise was noted as much for her
intellectual ability as for her personal
beauty. She was familiar with the
literature of four or five languages
Italian, French, Greek, Latin and He
brew. Her knowledge was remark
able; her conversational powers were
brilliant 1t was her bright mind
and varied learning that first attract
ed the attention of Abelard. Abelard
died in 1142. Heloise in 1854. First
buried at st. Marcel, Abelard's re-
mains were shifted several times, but
finally reached the well known tomb
at Pere-la-Chaise, wherein also rest
the ashes of Heloise.

republic is four-fifths as large as Ger
many.
Many persons have erroneous no
tons as to geographical sizes and
lengths of South America. They have
not the slightest idea that Brazil is
nearly as large as the whole of Eu-

north and south ends of Chile is as
great as that between the North Cape
OF Europe and Gibraltar, and that
steamers ply almost straight north
and south on the Parana and fits

about equal to that between New
