Three Atmospheres.

The atmosphere is divided by scien-
lists into three parts. The first extends
from sea level to about 10000 feet
high. In this layer are almost all the
water vapOrs or clouds and ali the
dust. In it all the storms take place.
The temperature tends to decrease. but
very irregularly. The second layer ex-
tends to between six and sevet miles
high. In it are the "cirrus" clouds. and
the temperature decreases uniformly.
Man cannot go beyond it.
These two layers together are called
the trOpOsphere. becnuse in them all
the vertical movements Of the air take
place. Beyond chem is the strato-
sphere. in which occur any movement
Of the air in planes parallel to the
'earth's surface.

Whistler as a courtier.

Most of the stories of Whistler are
rather ''waspish." but one recalls a
story that shows him in the light rath-
err of a graceful courtier.
1t happened that the then Prince of
Wales paid visit to an exhibition OF
pictures that was held by an art So
ciety of which Whistler was the presi-
dent. Whistler received the prince at
the door. and as they entered the gal
lery his royal highness asked:
"What is the history of your society,
Mr.. Whistler?"
"Sir." replied the artist with court
ly bow. "its history begins tOdayw

his female and Of beasts that are not

s.ratheoA.'. Romantic Marriage.

The marriage OF Lord StrathcOna was
a romance. He met the lady when he
was twenty-nine and living on the
coast Of Labrador. She was widow
and had little son. There was no
priest or church within 1000 miles and
the marriage was simple contract
without ceremony. 1t was for this
reason that when the high commission
err became a peer I'm 1897 remarriage
was held to be necessary and it was
solemnized with the full ritual of the
Church Of England. The Labrador
marriage was. however. ratified by
special act of pariament.-LondOn Tat

rhIIIppIne subterranean River.

A subterranean riv, in the island
of Palawan, one of the Philippines,

two officers of the United States coast

In a sermon at Pennsylvania
University short time since Billy
Sunday said: i.t
"Bdt PLATE was just one of
those rat-hole. pin-headed, pliable
stand-pat, free lunch, pie-counrer
politicians. He was the direct
resultof the machine gang IN Jew
ish politics and he was afraid that
if he released Christ he would lose
his job"
That is a pretty fair description
of old POntius. He trained with
the mob. 1t made no difference
where truth, honesty, purity were
he was for the spoils. That las t
sentence involves the whole pro, :
lem of politics to-day-whether
truth or seltishness, shall rule.
Then he said:

this means, just take a walk out
into some cemetery some day and
look at the tom bstones. You II
find that the name of the man who
had political drag twenty five
years ago is absolutely forgotten.

SLOW PRESSURE
Early Prices Higher on
Strength of Spot at Liver
pool, But Weakness Fol-
lows Selling by Specula-
tors.

CHICAGO Sept. 2t.-The wheat market
today was a nervous and choppy affair.
There was fairly important absorption on
resting commission orders on declines
and apparently plenty of selling pressure
at an advance of ia to 1ai from Satur-
days close. The entire range covered
was 21a to 32i cents. Early prices we're
higher. being affected by the strength Of
spot wheat at Liverpool and the weeks
showing of worlds exports, which lndi-
Gated that America was supplying the
great bulk Of the worlds needs. Actual
export clearances today were 9S7, 900
bushel Values weakened sharply at one
time on free selling principally by local
specuators, who noted a dminution in
the public demand for wheat and saw
weakness in the markets of the north
west, reports of coming shutdowns Of
four of the five Minneapolis mills and
large increase In the visible Supply
Sales of the cash article were $4,000
bushel. Futures closed 4 to 2 cent
higher.
Corn was irregular and nervous, with
prices about as much above as below
Saturdays close at times. The demand
was small. but there were export in
qures at all the markets that have
corn available. The cash article ruled
steady to firm here, and generally frner
elsewhere. Sales of cash corn were $4,000
bushels. Futures closed Il to ~ cent
higher
There was a large trade in oats and the
market was nervous and irregular. A
heavy export demand was in evidence,
and the sales here were liberal. The
