The HIGHEST Clouds.

During the last year scientist at
tached TO one Of Uncle Sans bureaus
at Washington has been eagaged IN
measuring the height of clouds by pho
Biography. Simultaneous pictures Of a
cloud are made by two cameras placed
coo feet apart and connected by0eie-
graph wires. From the amount of dis
placement OF the cloud caused by
viewing 1t alternately from each end
of the coo foot base line its height can
be calculated. Some Of the "mackerel
sky" clouds photographed were seven
and quarter miles high. The loftiest
clouds whose elevation was thus meas
ured belonged to the type known as
cirrus or curl cloud" the height of
which was a little more than seven
teen miles.-Chicago Record Herald.

Until Marshall came into the court
brief tenure had been the rule for its
presiding justices. John Jay served
only six years He was succeeded by
John Rutledge, the only chief justice
10 sit by recess appointment. He
presided over one term before the SEN
ate had a chance 70 act on his nomi-

affected by the time congress assem-
bled. the senate rejected him.
Oliver Ellsworth held the Office onl!y
three years. resigning 1t after he had
been sent to France on a diplomatic
mission. Marshall's great success In
expanding the powers and influence OF
the court was due largely TO his un-
broken tenure of thirtyfour years. Ta-
ney. who followed. held the Office
twenty-e!ght years.
