Proper eymnastie Work.

Every person who has received gym
nasium training is aware of the fact
that an exercise which calls for pain
full effort on the part of the beginner
is often performed almost without any
conscious effort at all after a GER
tain amount OF training has been re-
ceived. Again, 1t Is perfectly well
known that brute strength alone does
not make gymnast, and that even a
simple exercise may offer great diff
ficulty to a muscular and we'll develop
ed individual who has not been train
ed in the gymnasium The explanation
for this is made plain IN an article by
Professor du Bois Raymond In Die

the essential functions OF gymnasium
work is not so much to build UP mus
Gle as TO train nerves and nerve groups

AS TO EARTH's ATMOSPHERE
Theory That Has Long Been Held ID
Gaihlng Ground Among the Men ;
Of Scientific Mind.

The idea that the earth's atmosphere
Is distributed in layers, with nearly
pure hydrogen at the top. has been
growing In favor In the last few years,
and Is now expanded by the assump-
tion that still lighter gas rests on
the hydrogen. This hypothetical gas
rs called "geocoropium," as 1t Is at
least SIMILAR to the coronium forming
the SUNS atmosphere beyond the n.y.
drogsh. Presently some of the evil
dence, Professor Wegener, a German
physicist, states that twilight rays
seem to be reflected from a height Of
about 46 miles, but that after twilight
he has observed blush reflection
from height Of about 1873 miles. This
elevated rejecting surface is believed
to be the boundary line between the
hydrogen and the geocoronium. Small
meteors glow at heights between 100
and so miles, indicating that their lu-
mihUsity Is due to collision with the
hydrogen, and the sudden frightening
Of large meteors at a certain point may
be caused by reaching denser air lay.
err Other observations confirm the
theory of an atmosphere of fairly def:
mite layers. 1t is. calculated that at
Sea level the air contains 1871 per
cent of nitrogen, 4,939 of argon, 0.0033
Of hydrogen, scoops Of helium. and only
e.0005S of geocofonium; at, rs miles,

It Is customary In many of the New

on the last day before the pupils dis

Parents are invited to see and hear
their young hopefuls recite or take
part In special vaudeville stunts or
fairy plays devised by the teachers.
One teacher who found herself
blessed--or otherwise-with a room
full Of unruly boys when school began
IN the autumn hit upon happy idea.
She promised the boys that If they
were good they might have a minstrel
show just before the holidays. All
through the term the teacher kept
this prospect before them, promising
the particularly noisy youths good
parts If they would keep their deport-
ment up to a fair standard. The
promise had the desired effect, the
boys were reasonably manageable,
and when the performances came off
it was a bowling success.
One little temporary darby, rub
