The Earth's Envelope.

The new science of the air is the re-
suit of many hundred kite and sound

night in fair weather and foul, over

Gle Most people know that the warm
air surrounding the earth is only thin
belt but we do not most of US know
that at ten miles above the earth it
would not only be bitterly cold but the
sun would appear quite different.
The air is stratified in three more or
less distinct layers. In the lowest we
live 1t extends about two miles and
is a region of turmoil, whimsical winds
cyclones and anti-cycIOnes. At two
miles the freezing point is reached. and
then there is a second stratum extend
ing upward for about another six miles
Here the air grows steadily colder and
drier. the lowest temperature recorded
being 167 degrees below freezing point.
Here the air moves i'm great planetary
swrls produced by the spinning of the
earth on its axis. so that the wind al
ways blows in the same easteriy direc-
ton.
The greater the height the more flu
rious is the blast of this relentless gale.
After this layer comes the third or isO-
thermal stratum, discovered almost
simultaneously by NJ. de Bort and Dr.
Assmann. This is called the perma-
nent inversion stratum, because the
temperature increases with the height
reached. But the temperatures so far
recorded in the second stratum are not
high. being far below zero Fahrenheit,
generally somewhere from I'D degrees
to 80 degrees below IL.
Here the air no longer swirls in a
l.
in a direction contrary to that in the
second layer. And the air invariably
is excessively dry. Where this third
stratum ends no one knows. But it
must be at more than eighteen miles
above the earth. For sounding bal
looms have reached this height and
have not found the end of the perma-
nent inversion layer of air. When the
influence Of the upper regions of air
upon the lower is fully understood it
may be possible to foretelI the weather
not merely for a day, but for week.

The Highest Success.

No man ever succeeded in life who
made god of success. 1t is a great
thing to win out" to get there" to
achieve, but it isn't the greatest thing.
The highest measure of man is not
success, but faithfulness The highest
aim in life is not to come out a Win

Is not so much what man does as
how he behaves in trying to do it. If
he is faithful to himself, his God. his
country. his fellow men: if he would
rather be right than be president; if
he is faithful to his highest impulses:
If he utterly refuses to sacrifice a prin-
ciple, or a friend, or even an enemy.

The Late Marion crawford.

the evident sincerity of Mr.. Crawford
religious belief, it has nevertheless
been somewhat the custom to write Of
him as "a pagan of the Renaissance ="
The correspondent thought it worth
while to ask the head of one of the
great Roman families which Mr.. Craw-
ford knew so well and which he loved
to write of, what she thought of his
religious belief. This was her answer.
F. Marion Crawfords memory has
been very badly treated. especially bv
American journals, for truly he was q
sanity man. On visiting Rome. one of
the first things he did, on almost every
occasion, was to go to confession. If I
remember rightly. he mentioned San
Clemente, Of the Irish Dominicants as
the residence of his confessor. I know
he often came direct from there to visit
my husband and myself. He USUALLY

be held earlier than with us. and the
evening meal is eaten after this service.

Number of Nails to Horseshoe.

Centuries ago there lived a farrier.
Walter lie Brun by name. whose dex-
terity at the anvil on the occasion of
a great fitting meeting on the banks
of the Thames was noticed by the
then reigning monarch, Edward III,
who rewarded the blacksmith by
granting him sufficient land adjoining
the fitting green for the erection there
on of a forge. AT quit rent he had to
present annually to the king six horse
shoes and siXty-One horseshoe nails
To the modern mind the number of
nails would appear to be superfiuous,
but when it is remembered that the
horseshoes of that period required ten
nails apiece it Will be seen that the
calculations of Edward III merely al
lowed one over in case of accident
Furthermore, the shoes were all to be
for the horses fore feet, from which
fact some historians draw the infer
ence that the animals ridden in the
knights tournaments were encouraged
to injure each other with their front

He who has not mastered himself
is mastered by others.
1t takes two to make a quarrel. Take
care never to be the second.
Some controversies are like the I'M

Many a one blames another for doing
what he himself would have done in
his place.
He whose faults are most apparent
is not always the worst. The clearer
the crystal the palmer the flaw.
Judge of a. man not so much by his
opinions as by what his opinions have
made of him.

own point of view; make the most of
such truth as there is in il. and then

played on an old fiddle by a celebrated

and the great delight of his early bow
mood was to dance a Jig to its accom-
pahiment. The air fingered in his

contributes to the "Gaulois" supplement
some interesting notes on the King and
Queen of Spain. NJ Paoli is known in
France as lie garden des Rois," an
honorary distinction conferred ON him
by the King of Greece According to
NJ. Paoli, it is the charm of the Queen
of Spain which contributes much to the
popularity of the monarchy today. Not
a day passes, when she is in Madrid,
that her majesty is not seen minglmg
with the people, attended by maid of
honor. She enters the shops and makes
her own purchases. NJ. Paoli considers
the queens most charming act was her
purchase of toys for the children of two
soldiers who had just returned from
Melilla, and whom she saw gazing
wistfully at the playthings for children,
the cost of which. moment before the
queen set eyes upon the men, made the
acquisition by them an imposSibility.

it is:
There is no mistake made in desig-

The two terms fit the same individual.
He is guilty of rash judgment and is
full of conceit and is more or less of a
ninny. He would be a tyrant if he
only possessed despotic power. While
full of a selfishness that blinds him,
he attributes bad motives to all who
differ with his narrow and biased judg-
