animal respiration. Oxygen, on the
other hand. is a very active gas, which,
when breathed supports animal life
When mixed, as near the earth's sur
face, in the proportion of about four
volumes of nitrogen to one of oxygen,
the air is respirable, and the inertness
of the nitrogen does no harm. But if
the proportion Of oxygen is reduced the
air becomes sitting
Now, oxygen is heavier than nitro
gen in ratio of about eight to seven,
and in obedience to the law that heav-
Ter substances sink lower than lighter
ones, the oxygen thins out ~ the
height above the ground increases,
until it's proportion to the nitrogen be-
comes considerably reduced. Above
three or four miles the amount of oxy-
gen is so much diminished that breath
ing becomes very difficult. and at still
higher attitudes respiration may cease
entirely.
A Tragedy.
very tragic instance Of the effect
thus produced Is furnished by the
story Of the famous balloon ascent
made in April, 1878, by Castor Tis-
sander, Croce Spinelli and Signor Sivel.
They assembled from La Nillette in
France, in the balloon Zenith" TO a
height of %, 200 feet. or a little more
than five and one-third miles. The
thinness Of the air, and as we now
know. the relative lack of oxygen,
killed Spinelli and Swell and nearly
cost the life of Tissandier.
To show what modern science and
invention have done to avert this peril
of the high atmosphere, let US turn to
the story of a stfl higher ascent, made
on May %, 1913, by the balloon 'Tcare,"
carrying Albert Senouque, Jacques

NEW CODES FOR
 ALASKA IN TYPE

A cable message from his secre- tary. Mir. Jeffrey, received by Delegate Wickersham, brings the information that the new codes for Alaska, com prising three volumes, have now been put in type and that proofs in the rough have been mailed to the Dele gate here in Juneau.
 The new codes were prepared as the joint action of the House and Senate Committees on Territories. This new code in three volumes is to displace the Carter Code entirely and has been prepared largely through the assistance of Delegate Wickersham and contains everything up to the last minute in the matter of Congress sional law-making for Alaska. It is the desire of the Delegate to have the proof sheets of the new code present. ed to the Legislative Assembly of Alas ka as a guide in the matter of pass ing new laws. An appropriation of $1O,OOO has been made to pay for the printing of this new code which will mark the end of Congressional law-making for the territory There is also an appropriation to socver the expense of printing the laws passed by the present Legislature of Alaska which will be known as volume l, of the session laws of the Territory of Alaska.

FlRgmEN CELEBRATE MARCH 17

The Treadwen Firemen's smoker, scheduled for March 26th, has by re quest. been set ahead to March 17th, St. Patrick's Day. The change was made because large number of the members of the first Legislature, now in session at Juneau, bear good old Irish names, and if they are true to their colors. and to the traditions of their forefathers, as well as loyal and patriotic American citizens, they will, no doubt, declare March 17th a legal holiday throughout Alaska, It was de- cided that it would be appropriate to invite the legislators to see the big mines as well as to witness and enjoy the smoker which on that occasion will give the lawmakers an oppor- tunity to witness a typical Treadwell entertainment, such as are indulged in periodically by the 1,6OO employees of the Treadwell mines,
