Atmospheric Pressure nj Great
IIcights.-It il usually supposed that at
great heights the pressure Of the air j.
almost negligible. but the application
of an ingenious method indicated by
Ramsay gives interesting results. He
asserts that the green line c~haractcris-
tie of the spectrum ~ krypton remains
visible under a pressure Of O.OOOO35
millimcterS of mercury. Now this green
line is found I'm the spectra of the auro-
ra borcalis and il seems 70 be well es-
tablished that this exists frequently at
attitudes between 100 and 200 miles.
and wen sometimes up a. nearly 800
miles. But krypton is one of the hcav-
lest gases i'm u atmosphere. 1t would
therefore. that the density Of the
at these attitudes II by no means
negligible. a. whatever the cause may
be Of the presence of krypton there, II
could not remain there unless the air
possessed an appreciable density.

fish would come to the surface, Mr..
Cairns would fire at it with a 38-cali-
ber revolver, but with apparently no
effect.
Finally, late in the afternoon, the
fish was tired out and towed along
side the tug Laura. Next morning the
Laura towed the launch and the devil
fish into Bayou la Batre. Mr.. Cairns
says the harpoon lines were put over
the stern of the launch and the en-
gine run ahead for six hours in an
effort to tire out the monster.
When Bayou la Batre was reached
it required 25 to haul the monster up
on the beach. No scales large enough
to weigh the fish were available at
Bayou la Batre, but old fishermen
guessed the weight of the monster.

than 1000 pounds.

NOT IN ALL THINGS GROSS
Mechanical the Age May Be, But 1t
Has the Best of the Spirit OF
the Past.

Ours, says a veteran theater mana
ger gloomily, is mechanical age, in
which less and less is left to the hu-
man factor, to originality, individual
ity and the spirit. Ours is, indeed, a
mechanical age, but it is not an age
that dispenses, or is at all likely to

cal age is an age 'set free," an age
that has more time for study. contem-
platiou and right living. There is no
reason why vulgarity and gross mate
rialism should capture the wonderful
mechanical devices of the age; and
there is plenty of evidence that 'the
spirit" is busy trying to utilize the
same devices. Automatic players have
brought music-and good music, too
into tens of thousands of homes in
small towns and rural districts. The
movies are doing wonders. They will
soon become an adjunct of every
school, museum and cultural agency.
They will democratize science. They
will make 'dry" studies attractive.
They will steadily elevate the stand
ards of popular entertainment, annex
ing the spheres of romance, adventure
and beauty. Our mechanical age en-
ables polar explorers to take music
along with them, but has it killed the
spirit of polar explorations? Our age
has given us aeroplanes. but has it de-
stroyed the spirit of the airmen? Is
our age deficient in courage, benevo-
