Many Greeks firmly believe to this

The Atmosphere and Beyond.

At what altitude above the earth
would the atmosphere become too thin
to breathe or to support life: What Is
beyond the atmosphere? asks a corre-
spondent Of the indianapolis News.
which replies:
1.-The height of the atmosphere has
been variously estimated at from for
ty-five to a hundred miles. but with
constantly increasing thinness. The
comparatively short duration of twi-
light, which depends upon the atmos-
pheric reflection of the light of the sun
from below the horizon, shows that
the atmosphere extends only a limited
distance above the earth. and the diff.
Guilty of mountain climbers and aero
nauts in breathing increases quite rap
idly as one rises above sea level. The
exact height at which the atmosphere
would cease to support life cannot be
stated. but, judging from the effects
experienced by air explorers, it is not
many miles from the earth. As to
what exists beyond the atmosphere
science offers no solution beyond the
vague terms space and ether"

The EGYPTIAN Lotus.

The lotus figures to very great ex-
tent in ancient Egyptian sculpture.
though the flower is often crude and
difficult to make out The fruit of the
Egyptian lotus was forbidden as food
to disciples Of Pythagoras. The lotus
was dedicated to the goddess of fe-
cundity, Isis, and buds are said to have
been found in the tombs of ancient
Egyptian kings. Egyptologists have
decided that the lotus of Egypt was
the common white water lily of the
Nile and not the true sacred nelumbo
of the far east.

CAPITALS and Armies.

Twice the United States has lost its
capital to a foreign foe. but neither
time did it produce much effect upon
the war. The first time was when
Howe's redcoats swept into Philadel-
phia after the battle Of Brandywine.
The other occasion was when anoth-
er British army seized and burned
Washington. What Howe needed to
end the war in 1777 was not l'hiladel-
phia, but Washington's army. and that
he didn't get. A country's army is
worth a dozen capitals. The British
captured Americas three largest cit
les, Boston. New York and Philadel-
phia, but that availed them little in the
long run.-Philadelphia Ledger.
