Dear reader, do you want to find the
beautiful. the simple. the pure, the good.
the angels of the earth? You will find
it here on this earth. and not among
the rich, the learned or the great, but
amongst Gods poor who so patiently
bear the cross, who so honestly fulfill
the duties of their daily life, and while
they labor leaven their labors with the
dews of a simple enduring faith in God
and heaven. Truly heroic, these people
are. and though the world in its hurry
stops not to see the holiness of these
lives, sees only the commonplace in
them, their names are inscribed in the
Book of Life, and the little of this earth
are the greatest of the life to come.

Wonderful Feat Of Engineering in Bit

morning after a storm, I couldn't take

MARATHON DANCE is STARTED.
Contestants Will Compete Three Hours
Each Night for Week.

Contestants Will Compete Three Hours
Each Night for Week.
Los Angeles, Feb. 19.-The most
spectacular contest known in dancing
circles began here last night when
twelve young men and women entered
a marathon dance. They will compete
three hours each night for a week. At
the end of the dancing last night the
leaders had traversed twelve miles,
and were bordering on collapse. Sew
eral rivals dropped out of the race for
the night, unable to stand the strain.
The first hour Paul Gray and his
sister, Miss Catherine Gray, danced
five miles. Both looked tired after this
squirt, and for the next two hours
moderated their speed. Paul finished
the night leading all the field, but
before the third hour was finished Miss
Gray dropped to the floor exhausted.
Waltzes and two-steps are the only
forms used. Those finishing do not
lose a step during the entire three
hours. The authorities may stop the
unique contest before the week is out,
as several physicians have condemned
the dance, especially for girls

Mannatic Air Tides.

A regular variation Of atmospheric
pressure, taking place twice a day, has
recently been discovered. This was
noted by Ham, the celebrated Austrian
meteorologist, who detected it by q
mathematical analysis Of a long series
of barometric observations in all parts
Of the world. The variation is most
marked in the tropics, and di1ninishss
toward the poles in both hemispheres,
but takes place at the same time along
every meridian.

that the phenomenon depends in some
way upon solar infiuence-possibly
upon some relation to the suns mag

j. S. Dimes, another student of The
subject, traces the influence Of this
pressure change, taking place twice
daily, upon the winds of the world, and
connects it with a similar variation IN
the southeast trade wind. the most per-
