THE OLD TIME DOCTOR.
His Hardships Were Many, and His
Rewards Were Not Great.

The strongest impression gained In
reading Of the experiences Of old time
physicians is Of their boldness and dar-
Ing. Most Of them were by necessity
surgeons as well as doctors Of medi-
cine. Isolated often from other mem.
bers Of their profession and obliged to
bear the entire responsibility Of the
welfare Of their patients, they learned
to rely upon themselves and to take
chances that would make the general
practitioner shudder in these days OF
many specialists and wide division Of
labor. Perhaps non eve undertook
surgical operations who had no train
ing in that line, but with no hospitals
within reach, with few instruments
and with the modern ~antiseptics and
nursing systems undreamed of, they
ventured to use the knife in critical
cases and, as it appears, with a large
measure Of success.
They were faithful, Woodworking
servants of the public in the early day.
They travelled by horseback owe trails
that took them through forests and
swamps and across streams. Their
field Of practice often included a large
territory, and they were necessarily ont
In all sorts OF weather and encoun-
tered hardships Of various kinds. Nor
were the rewards great. Few Of those
old time doctors accumulated wealth.
some Of them net even a competence
for old age. But it is easy to see that
they were a force in the community
and had much to do with the general
development Of the state.-lndianapolis

AIR CURRENTS.
The Forces That Operate to Make the

other. and that under certain condi-
tons they car be compelled to come
closer together by contraction or forced
10 fly further apart by expansion. A
quart bottle, for example, holds twenty
two grains of air at the temperature
of 20 degrees. If the bottle be cooled
by surrounding it with ice the air in
side contracts. When this occurs more
air PUSHES in through the bottles neck.
The quart of air nov weighs more
than twenty-five grains. If the bot
tie be heated the air It contains ex
pands. its tiny particles fly further
asunder, and many of them escape
from the bottle altogether. There is
still a quart of air, but 1t weighs much
less than the original twenty-five
grains.
Now, consider the earth and the sea
under the influence Of varying degrees
Of the suns heat. Where the heat is
greatest the air is made lighter and
expands. Where the heat is least the
air is unexpanded and heavy. Both
the hot and the cold air have weight,
but the cold, being the heavier, is
drawn more effectively down to the
ground. In doing so it drives the
lighter air up out Of its way, just as
a lump Of lead dropped into a pail Of
water forces some Of the water up
ward. IL the earth were equally warm
at every part and continued at a con
slant temperature wind could not ex-
list. 1t blows because of heat and
gravitation. In other words, air moves
from the place where its weight or
pressure is most toward the place
where its weight or pressure Is least.
