US rather sulkily that he had been

Chester, England, who died recently,
was engaged in the construction of
his own coffin. made Of empty match
boxes 1t is of the ordinary shape,
and much patience and skill have
been bestowed on it, says London It'd
Bits. There is, of course, an inner
she'll of wood, onto which the match
boxes are glued, and as there are
some 500 match boxes on the lid
alone, the total on the coffin must run

Carbonic Acid and Air.

The amount of carbonic acid in the
atmosphere is from three to four
parts by bulk in 10000 parts of air.
A fairly we'll ventilated room will
contain six parts in the like quantity
of air. But all rooms are not ventil-
ated alike, hence the amount of car
bonic acid in their atmospheres varies
from the figure given above to much
larger one,

And they dig the fresh moist dirt;

Ten little toes where the mighty ocean flows
Frolicked with the rppes and the sand.
And they bistered and they burned
And a golden brown they turned.

Ten little toes crowded goodness knows,
Back again within the prison wall.

No matter tho their prison walls were stout.

The roofs, gardens, fields. vineyards.
rivers and ponds were covered with a
yellow dust, and for some time the
peasants in the fields were troubled
by sulphurous biting odor which
made breathing difficult.
According to a noted scientist the
total weight of the atmospheric dust,
about sixty-five to seventy-fve per
cent, is organic matter. NNhis portion
is absolutely harmless, but in the
twenty-five to thirty-five per cent. Of
organic matter are to be found germs

aluminium, nickel, cobalt and iron.
Iron appears in much greater guam

that coming from planetary space.

space causes friction which gradu-
ally reduces them to powder contain
