HOW HIGH IS THE ATMOSPHERE

ONE would hardly think OF looking to the
~ moon for information about the height OF
the earths atmosphere. Yet it is in just that
way evidence has been obtained that the at
mosphere extends much higher than was for
a long time assumed.
Observations OF lunar ecipses made at
Lord Roses observatory IN Ireland have
shown that the quantity OF heat derived from
the moon-which heat IS, OF course, merely
reflected sun heat, just as moonlight is only
reflected sunlight-begins perceptbly to dirnin-
ish several minutes before the shadow OF the
earth reaches the moon.
The inference is that the earths atmosphere
partly cuts off the suns heat as it comes
between the moon and the sun ahead OF the
edge of the solid earth, and calculations based
on the length of time during which the loss
OF heat from the moon is felt before the eclipse
begins, indicate that our atmosphere reaches
a height OF at least one hundred and ninety
miles.
How different this is from the height usually
stated may be seen by consulting a popular
school book on physical geography, published
within a few years, in which it is affirmed
that beyond height of forty miles the amount
of air remaining would be too small to affect
the suns rays perceptibly in any way.

A NARROW STREET

THE seaport town of Great Yarmouth, on
the eastern coast of England, contains a
street that is perhaps the narrowest IN the
world. 1t is known as Kitty Witches Row,
and measurement gives its greatest width as
tifty-six inches.
It's entrance is considerably narrower, and
would seriously inconvenience a stout person
trying to pass through it Twenty-Five inches
from wall to wall is all the room that can be
spared in this part.
Yarmouth is quaint old town, containing
many streets like Kitty Witches Row They
all are called rows, and are more picturesque
than convenient. A hundred and forty-seven
of these narrow passages, making length OF
over seven miles in all, are to be found in the
town.

CURIOUS PRECAUTIONS BY BANKERS

OF all devices resorted to by bankers to gain
~ time and inspire confidence during runs
on their institutions, there has never, perhaps,
been a more novel scheme than that conceived
IN a western city. The depositors were as
founded to find that they could enter the bank
only at the cost of spoiled garments, as the
astute president had caused the doorposts to
be freshly painted.
An English bank once prevented a crisis in
its affairs by exhibiting in the windows large
tubs apparently brimful of sovereigns: These
tubs, however, were simply turned upside down,
only small quantity of gold being piled on
their bottoms.
An ingenious device was resorted to in
Buenos Ayres. There a large
bank and for several days depositors be-
sieged the premises withdrawing money and
placing it in another bank on the opposite side
of the street. 1t SO happened, however that
these two institutions had reached a private
understanding; so as fast as the safe bank
received the deposits they were returned to
the unsafe one by underground passage,
with the result that everyone marveled at its
continued ability to meet its obligations

MORE OR LESS FACT

phrases difficult to say "trippingly with the
tongue" Perhaps the three that here follow
are the hardest to repeat
Flesh of freshly dried flying fish"
"A growing CLEAN glowing green"
The bleak breeze blighted the bright broom

ALTERATION is not always necessary to make
a sentence tongue twister, though most brief
examples show that popularity. Here Is
longer sentence that exhibits about as unhappy
I, collection of syllables can be brought to-
gether in the English language:
She stood at the door of Mrs. Smiths

There is a beautiful lake near Webster,
Massachusetts, the Indian name of which is

hard to pronounce quickly many OF these

for linguistic acrobatics:

IN MORALIZING MOOD

RROODING over failure binds the brain to
- inaction and lessons the chance of better
ment.
1t is not reasonable to insist that all people
should share alike in the material things OF hte.
The disposition to coddle sense OF injustice
is one of the most unfortunate heritages OF
mankind.
1t is hardly reasonable to expect that feel
ing of gladness should exist in the neighbor-
hood of an empty pocket
There is nothing more conducive to indie
pendence of Don't Worry Clubs than a healthy
balance to ones credit in the savings bank.
Satisfaction and contentment are not always
purchasable; but they are not far distant
when ample means are unseltshly and wisely
used
When the victim of untoward circumstances
gives time to nursing his misfortunes he will
find that they thrive and multiply like mites
IN mellow cheese.
Much more time is wasted in assailing the
regulations of successful men than would be
required for the erection of memorials to per-
petuate the memory OF their good deeds:

her parents as we'll as the boarding school
authorities, the to-be-envied young was
allowed to call on her twice a week, at which
momentous occasions the small parlor to the

thrilling interest, and it is rumored that the low
toned conversations were sometimes listened to.

THE HOPELESS DRUMMER

He lay upon his dying bed,
This valiant knight OF grip and trip;
He knew that ere the day was fled
He'd sign his final mileage strip.
A light shone in his glazing eye
A flame of bliss without alloy.
He'd bid this weary world good by
With unadulterated Joy.
A clergyman, whose office gave
The right to mix IN such affairs,
Came softly in, with features grave,
To offer benson and prayers.
Where thus the minister began,
Do you expect to go from hence
The drummer eyed that preacher man
As though he'd gwen grave otfense.
Where do go,' he cried in grief
Where shall go from here, you ask:
| thought that death would bring relief
From this eternal hiking task.
But if It's just another case
OF going somewhere, you can bet
The ills I'm tougheHed to I'll bear
For several busy seasons vet"
So saving, he arose and dressed;
He rearranged his sample case.
He'd hoped to gain good, long rest,
Not Just a chance to go some place

from the suburb of Schmargendorf.

miraculous escape from death. The
American balloon Conqueror, the only

having on board A. Holland Forbss
and Augustus Post, less than two min.
utes after the start. burst at an alti-
tude of 1000 feet.
/ For 1000 feet 1t shot down like q
bullet. and then the torn silk bag Is
! sumed the shape of parachute, and
the rapidity of the descent was
checked. Coming close to the earth,
however. the basket smashed into the
roof OF house, but the two men e.
capped with but slight injuries
The race, in which 20 balloons par
ticipated. representing Great Britain,
France, Germany, the United States,
Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Spain,
started at three o'clock In the after
noon in the presence of at least 10000
spectators
The second batch Of eight balloons
was led by Forbes In the Conqueror,
which was started with some difficulty
owing to gusty wind and too much
ballast. But eventually 1t shot up and
reached a high altitude in an incred-
IDLY short period, the basket swaying
violently. Then almost instantly Z
cry of horror arose from the crowd,
|! who saw the silk collapse and shout
ed: THE balloon is ripping up"
Thousands who had gathered there
stood for a moment petrifled. Some
turned away, fainting as they saw the
balloon falling with lightning-liks
rapidity. At the same time showers
of sand and appurtenances Of the bal
loon shot downward with equal rapid
-ity and then daylight was seen through
the envelope, great ragged edges Of
the silk showing on either side.

whisper through the crowd, but short,
ly the remainder of the envelope ap.

and then was transformed into q sort
