ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES.

What II Means In Air Pressure When
the Barometer Falls.
1t is not an uncommon thing at GER
tain seasons Of the year for the ba-
rometer to shift an inch within twen-
ty-four hours. Sometimes the change
is even greater Few persons have
any idea what tremendous changes in
the atmosphere are indicated by such
a rise or fall in the mercury column.
A cubic inch Of mercury weighs half
a pound. When the mercury falls an
inch a weight Of one ton is removed
from every 1900 square inches Of
surface This is a ton for every area

He came back with counter
claim asking for a divorce from her

treatment and for adultery. In his
first counter claim be alleged seven
seperate and dieiinct counts Of adul-

Alaska In Summer.
Speaking from an experience Of
more than 100000 miles travel on sea
and land, It Is remarkable how many
things you see in Alaskan waters
which you have seen nowhere else in
the world. It was a novel sight to
have q whole school Of whales spout
ing at one time. with some OF them
cruising up near the boat and rolling
over like submarines pitching in a
heavy sea. And the herds OF Alaskan
fur seals. hoarsely believing as we
approached, added 20 memory's roper
toire Of barking monkeys, groaning
camels and trumpetng elephants.
Another unusual thrill that comes
10 the summer traveller In Alaska
springs from the eternal daylight OF
that wonderful country. Whether you
actually see the midnight sun OF moi
depends upon the date and the latitude
TO which you ascend, but darkness is
thing Of the past after the second
night out Of Seattle. A dusky gloam.
ing takes its place until you get still
farther north. and then you may read
a newspaper on deck at midnight with
out straining your eyes. This phe
nomenon Is one Of the strangest n
