Atmosphere His Hobby.
Professor Moore said his hobby was
the atmosphere. and he described its phys

the midday sun. shining brightly, every
thing appears Illuminated between you
and the great central luminary, but when
you ascend in a balloon the blue gradually
changes TO gray and then 10 brown, and
when you get to the outer limits of the
atmosphere you are IN inlyy darkness at
midday In other words. we are living in
q thin skin of Illuminated air" said he
It am somewhat OF the opinion that
the wonderful power Of this nation is due
in large measure 10 our atmospheric con

1T seems to me that is the way every
