ABOUT EARTH's ENVELOPE
Three Layers of Air-CoId and Gales
 of High Attitudes.

Three Layers of Air-COId and Gales
 of High Attitudes.
 The new science of the air is the result of many hundred kite and sound ing balloon flights made by day and by night in fair weather and foul, over land and sea, at all seasons of the year and from the equator to the arc tic circle, an exchange says. Most people know that the warm air sur rounding the earth is only a 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 stratifed in three more or less distinct layers. In the lowest we live. It extends about two miles and is a region of turmoil, whimsical winds, cyclones and anticyclones. At two miles the freezing point is reached and then there is a second stratum extending upward for about another six miles. Here the air grows stead fly colder and drier, the lowest tenn perature recorded being 167 degrees below freezing point. Here the air moves in great planetary swirls pro duced by the spinning of the earth on its axis, so that the wind always blows in the same easterly direction.
 The greater the height the more furious is the blast of this relentless gale After this layer comes the :hird or isothermal stratum, discovered all most simultaneously by M de Bort and Dr. Assmann. This is called the permanent 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 122 degrees to 40 degrees below it.
 Here the air no longer swirls in q planetary circle. The wind may blow 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 balloons have reached this height and have not found the end of the permanent in version layer of air. When the influ- ence of the upper regions of air upon the lower is fully understood it may be possible to foretell the weather not merely for a day, but for a week.

H. w. WILEY. QeQL man ana without doubt one of the greatest liv- ing food specialists.
 If we are really in earnest about this matter of saving in the cost of living, we might take a few lessons from the French cooks who use up all the left overs" says Dr. Wiley. "The average American cook throws away as much as he or she uses first hand. With the French chef the left overs make more appetizing meals than the meats and vegetables do when cooked first time. They make the daintiest croquettes. stews, ragouts and sauces out of little bits of things that are tossed into the garbage pail by the American cook, and thereby save half their food bill. Nothing is wasted with the French chef, not even the bread crumbs, or the celery tops, or the apple peelings. Every last scrap of fat is saved for frying purposes, and instead of buying the best and most expensive cuts of meat, the French ex- pert buys that which is cheapest and by clever cooking makes it as tempt ing as the dearest. Our cooks as a class underestimate the value of rne cheaper cuts of meat. These are just as wholesome, just as nourishing as tho higher-pTiced portions, and when prepared as they should be taste as we'll

A WAC AT sTiRToN TRIAL.

Alex NJ. Stirton, who styles him
self an organizer for the Industrial

against him last week. says the De-

of the police.
During the trial Fritz Buelow, vet
eran ball player, entered the court
room and at once divided the atten-
ton with the modern corner Demos
themes. He was saluted by the jus
tice and during the proceedings was
coaching on the side lines so to
speak. After Lieut.. OGrady had tes-

nearly knocked him down, quoth

Get Can TO-DAY

ents of the state are again raising the
old cry, OF gangism and many OF them
are once more supporting the Demo-
cratic candidate. The number has
greatly dwindled, however, Johnson
was nominated at primary election
and defeated j. A. Buchanan. radical
insurgent and II. II. Aaker, independ-
ent Republican, and before the primar-
les many of the Republican papers
pledged their support to the winner
and they are sticking to the agreement.
Burke is also somewhat on the de-
fensive this year. Some of his actions
in office have been bitterly attacked
and in his campaign speeches to date
he has spent most of his time answer
ing the criticisms and attacking those
who criticise. He started a whirlwind
tour Of the state September 10 at Har-
wood in Cass county and proposes 10
remain on the stump up TO the day of
election November S. He is a good
speaker and has been well received and
the Democrats claim that he will again
be landed in the governors chair.
c. A. Johnson has a clean record.
He has been a member of the state
legislature and has been in the public
eye in his home city. Minot for years.
He is being most bitterly opposed by
one of his home papers which is in
surgent Republican and which sup
ported him two years ago but the Re-
publicans claim that this opposition is
more than offset by the many papers
now supporting him, but which OPP
posed him two years ago. Johnson has
also started stamping campaign of
the state which he proposes to con-
tinue during the entire campaign.
Should Burke be elected for a third
term the Democrats claim the he
would be placed before the public as n
national figure. Indeed there has al
ready been some action taken toward
booming him for the presidency in
1912.
