WHEN BAROMETER FALLS.
Shift Of Inch in It's Height Lifts Bill
lions of Tons From Earth.

It is not an uncommon thing at this
time of year for the barometer to
shift an inch within "a hours. Some
times the change is even greater.
Few persons have any idea what ire
mendous changes in the atmosphere
are indicated by such a rise or fall In
the mercury column.
A cubic inch of mercury weighs
half pound. When the mercury
falls an inch a weight of 1 ton is re-
moved from every 1000 square inches
of surface. This is a ton for every
area 5 Ia feet square. II your house,
for instance, is % by 40 feet, with an
area Of 1000 square feet, load Of
about SO tons Is lifted from the roof
every time the barometer shows an
inch fall. That is. 36ton load would
be lifted If the house were alright.
But as air presses in every direction
there is as much of a push upward
against the roof from below as there
is of a push downward from above.
So the roof actually feels no effect
from the removal of this heavy load.
In the same way, a man Of average
size would be relieved of weight of
about a ton and a half If there were
no air chambers in the human body.
It has been figured that fall OF
an inch in the barometer over ter
ritory 400 miles square removes a
weight from the surface of the earth
Of 100 billion tons. If this were load
ed on freight cars. 20 tons to the car.
and 80 cars to the train, more than
260, 900 600 trains would be required to
move it. If each train were 500 feet
long they would stretch out in a line
more than 100000 miles long.
The only noise that accompanies
this great transportation feat is made
by the wind that does considerable
roaring in the course of such violent
atmospheric changes.-Kansas City

FINDS NEW INDIANS.
Brazil Explorer Writes That Savages
Worshiped Him as God.

Albert Lang, who is exploring the
sources of the Amazon for the Brazili-
an government, has informed f. N.
Dellenbaugh, secretary of the Explor-
ers' Club, of the discovery of new
tribe of Indians, 1000 miles from civil
Iization, between the headwaters OF the
Cairary and Moju rivers. Mr.. Lang
gives n picturesque description Of the
savages, who, he says, took him for
god, embracing his feet to show their
devotion. Their tools, he writes. are
stone, and their ideas so unusual as tc
suggest their belonging to another age.
The Jewish cast of their features might
lead one to infer that they were OF the
lost tribes did not their ignorance OF
iron and writing argue against 1t.
IT am sitting in a maloca .hut),
writes Mr.. Lang, "of curious tribe

taking my six-man canoe above the
headwaters of the Cairary and Moju
rivers, fighting our way through five

because they are wholly untouched and
unspoiled by civilization They use
stone axes and by their aid have clear

May Amend Natl
Banking Action.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Before Con-
gress completes the proposed currency
legislation it may find it necessary to
amend the national banking action, es-
pecially If the House and the Presi-
dent agree to the Senate's proposal to
guarantee bank deposits. Bank depos-
it guarantee-treasury officials prefer
insurance to "guarantee"-is looked
upon with favor by the officers of the
comptroller of the currency.
The comptrollers declare deposit
guarantee to be effective must be &C
companied by changes in the power of
the comptroller so that he shall be
given more latitude in the curing of
sick banks. Under the present law the
comptroller can only close a shaky
hank peremptorily or place it in the
hands of a receiver. In many cases
the comptroller finds q bank solvent
and in fairly good condition but its
management is faulty. To close such
an institution under the proposed law
would mean an unnecessary drain OF
the guarantee fund. officials believe
+, an enlargement of the comptroller
powers given him authority to replace
the management with men of better
financial judgment would prevent
many failures and strengthen the
guarantee clause.
Guarantee is favored by treasury of.
ficials because of belief among many
depositors in national banks that be-
cause the institution is licensed by the
federal government it's deositors can
mot lose.

of the Mexican Railway was warned
that it's lines would be cut if it per-
sisted in moving oil.
( Practically all the locomotives have
been using oil for some years and the
scarcity of coal will make a return
to that fuel difficult. If the Mexican
Railway also is barred from the use
of oil, and it is assumed that it will
be, even the ordinary passenger traf-
fic between the capital and the coast
may become irregular.

Medical Views Change.

We are getting sound views on a
good many things with which we
have been going headlong in recent
years. The rage for operation in
cases of appendicitis is subsiding.
When the discovery of the germ the
DRY and antiseptic treatment made
possible operations that until then
were impossible, a rage for operation
in appendicitis came in. Now it Is
held that operations for this affliction,
which used to be called Inflammation
of the bowels, shall not be employed
except in the last extremity. Similar
ly it is now affirmed that the appen-
dix is not a useless obstruction, but
has important functions.
There begins now protest against
the fresh air fad that has had its own
way these many years. Those that
have predicted that it was a fad like
the blue glass treatment for rheu-
matism and other ills which ragged
many years ago, feel like prophets
In those days houses had blue
glass" room added just as in recent
years they have "open air sleeping
chambers" added. And men and wo-

blue glass chambers allowing the blue
ray to wander over their afflicted bod
les Wonderful cures were the result.
But old rheumatism, like the cat, had
the habit of coming back. Now DR..
button, in the Medical Times, says
the profession has been carried away
with the fresh air fad. 1t is import
ant, he says, to distinguish between
fresh air and pure air. The latter
contains ozone, which is the vitalizing
principle of air and is free from par
ticles of dust. But fresh air Is likely
to be dust-laden and moreover is cold,
and often impregnated with moisture.
The dust is not a menace to neal
thy people unless it carries germs.
But in the case of tuberculosis and
other aenemic Affections, it is a men
ace. Such cases suffer from the in
ability to create heat. They require
air that is not only pure, but warm.
To expose them to cold, damp fresh
air, the doctor says, is cruelty without
benefit. The problem for such cases
is to provide warm, dry, pure air with
as much exposure to the rays OF the
sun as possible.
