U. S. WEATHER BUREAUS SOUND.
ING BALLOONS.

Some time early IN August of this
year the u. S. weather bureau contem-
plates sending up from Huron a num-
Der of what are known as sounding
balloons" in order to ascertain the
condition of the atmosphere at great
elevations as compared with that at
the earth'S surface. These balloons
are constructed of rubber and when
inflated with hydrogen gas measure
from six to eight feet in diameter and
have a lifting capacity from six to ten
pounds. Each balloon carries with it
a light wicker basket containing a
delicately constructed instrument
which automatically records the tenn
perature, pressure and humidity in the
region of the atmosphere to which
the balloon ascends, which is in some
cases as much as twelve to fifteen
miles above the surface of the earth.
Attached to each balloon and basket
is a parachute. The decreasing den
sity of the atmosphere as the balloon
ascends permits the expansion of the
hydrogen gas to finally explode the
balloon, thereby releasing the para
chute, which gradually descends to the
earth and safely lands the basket con-
tanning the instrument, the latter hav-
ing faithfully made its record at every
stage of it's progress through the
air.
Attached to the basket is a card
containing detailed instructions for
whoever may find it, and offering COM
pensation for it's return by express, at
the expense Of the government, to
some designated Office Of the u. S.
weather bureau.
1t is very important that the find
er of one of these baskets should not
in any way tamper with the instru-
ment, as the record made by it is
~del'cately traced on a smoked cylind-
er and any ~obliteration of this record
would materially affect, if not wholly
destroy, it's value.
The weather bureau has to depend
for the results of these ascensions
upon the chance of someone finding
and returning the basket and instru-
ment. Out of thirteen a~scensiOns
made last year at Omaha, all but one
of the baskets and instruments was
found and returned as directed.
The finder of one of these baskets
will not only greatly aid in meteorolo-
gical research, but will as we'll on
fer a favor upon the U. S. weather
bureau. by closely following the In
strmctions attached to the basket.
The descent of the balloon para
chute and basket, as well as the as
cent of the balloon, should be closely
watched for by interested persons, as
the balloon moves rapidly and in most
cases soon passes out of sight. In
some cases the basket and instrument
have been found from three to four
hundred miles distant from the place
OF ascent.

The cast that first sang the now

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my little son, boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time I was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass Of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin OF with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get wen, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs Of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled on twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he Is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
Is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam

Which Do You Like Worst?

This is the greatest known way for
undecided people to make up their
minds.
None but a strong minded woman
can ever decide which Of two or three
hats she likes "the BEST" particularly
If they are all comely.
Popular bellies have been known to
have similar troubles with their
sweethearts. Which do like best Is
often a momentous question.
Why not try the other way?
Decide which, Of men. or hats, or

and then proceed to eliminate.
From there you can factor out in
the grade of desirabiiity, until you
actually find yourself at a decision,
because it, whatever it is, is the only
one left.
