A LIGHT ATMOSPHERE.

Why Smoke beats Down" When It
Leaves Chimney.
"Its getting ready for storm. See
how the smoke beats down just as
soon as it comes out of the chimney?
That's because the air is so heavy it
pushes the smoke down before it has
time to rise
One often hears this stated as fact
concerning that most generally talked
of subject on earth, the weather. The
speaker was probably right under
those conditions in prophesying a
storm. but he was scarcely right in
assigning as reason that 1.-THE air is
so heavy it pushes the smoke down.
Nearly everybody knows it is easier
to swim in salt water than in fresh
water. AS salt water is heavier than
fresh water it is evident that the heav-
Ter the liquid the greater the buoyant
force.
The atmosphere exerts a buoyant
force upon the smoke from chimneys
in exactly the same way that water
exerts buoyant force upon a swim
mer. Therefore when the smoke beats
down" as soon as it leaves a chimney
it must be concluded that the buoyant
force exerted upon it is relatively
small and that the air is not heavy.
but light.
A light atmosphere, or. rather, a
sudden lessening of the pressure OF
the atmosphere generally, takes place
before a storm. Therefore the smoke
from chimneys, if observed intelligent
ly, furnishes pretty good weather
indicator.-ChicagoR ecord-Herald.

LATHAM, ALEXANDER'S
WEEKLY MARkET LETTER.

New York July 25.-The urgent
covering Of short contracts was re-
sponsible fer tie substantial advance
in the Old crop options during the
week, but the strength of the new
crop Was due more to a better appre-
cialfon of The damage already don Elm

sive rains and the possibility of still
greater damage that might result from

the rainfall has been deficient
No doubt the greater part. if moi
practically ali, If the short interest
in JulD has been retired and a large
proportion Of that in the August ana
September options Las been covered
Despite the heavy curtailment Of
output by the mills, trade require
ment5 seem great enough to absorb
the remainder Of the old crop at high
prices, even if the speculative demand
has been eliminated.
There has been no APPARENT improve
ment in tie dry goods business lately.
but the fact that the manufacturers
have ceased price cutting openly is
taken as a hopeful sign and more ac-
tive demand is expected to develop in
the near future
Weather advices during the week
have been rather favorable on the
whole, showers having been reported
in part Of Texas and Oklahoma and
clearing weather in the eastern sec
tions. A considerable deterioration
in condition has occurred in the states
east Of the Mississippi during the past
month which will be reflected in the
next bureau report. AS the govern
ment figures are compiled up to the
twenty-fifth of July, any improvement
from now on win not be shown until
next month.
Unofficial estimates of the crop now
current range from 11,50O.00O to 49,
100000 bales. A conservative figure
would probably be an average Of these
extremes, or about 12,250,000 bales, as
against earlier expectations of from
18,000000 to 14,000,000 bales.
August is usually a critical month
for the growing crop, and unless very
favorable conditions prevail for the
next four weeks at least the estimates
must be still further reduced. TIE
market, therefore, will be sensitive to
weather reports.
After the recent advance a re-ae-
ton is naturally to be expected, but We
believe there will be a brisk demand
for cotton on recessions from present
prices.

SWORD FISH GAVE MEN
A HARD FIGHT FOR LIFE

Boston. July 23.-John Henry, Of
the fishing schooner Alice Palmer, tells
# a fight for life he and his dory
mate. Adam Walters, had with a
sword fish off the Georges Banks re-
Gently. The fish was sighted in th q
afternoon and in short time two
harpcons were sticking into his back
and he was racing away with the har-
pooh buoys. Henry and Walters man
ned dory and started after the
buoys
Infatuated by the pain Of the iron
5arbs, the fish turned on the dory. It
drove it's powerful sword through one
end of the craft and then the other,
while the two men leaped back and
forth to escape the driving blows. The
dory began to fill as the repeated ar
lacks of the fish opened up holes and
it lookd as though the fishermen
would be left entirely az the mercy Of
the fish in the water But a second
dory from the schooner swept up and
wth harpoons settled the fate of the
fish and rescued the two in the sink
ing dory.
