this body are more permanent than
those made on the next lower or astral
body. but not so permanent as those
made on the higher or CaUsll body. The
dawning powers Of consciousness begin
in this body images born Of the contact
OF the senses. This body Is not ncr-
maneht body. it disinteSrqtes and hands
on to the Ego the faculties and quail
ties resulting from eartS-Iife. When a
new life Is to begin. a new mental body
is formed that represents exactly the

which he is able to express his mental

At a certain period after the death Of
the physical body this astral body dis

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
Changes That Come When the Barom-
eter Falls an Inch.

Changes That Come When the Barom-
eter Falls an Inch.
Few persons have any idea what
tremendous changes in the atmosphere
are indicated by such rise or fall of
an inch in the barometer.
A cubic inch of mercury weighs
half pound When the mercury falls
an inch a weight of one ton is re-
moved from every 1900 square inches
of surface This is a ton for every
area five and one quarter feet square.
If your house, for instance, is 25 by
40 feet, with an area of 1000 square
feet, load of about thirty-six tons is
lifted from the roof every time the
barometer shows an inch fall-that Is,
a thirty-six ton load would be lifted
If the house were air tight. But as air
presses in every direction there is as
much of a push upward against the
roof from below as there is Of push
downward from above SO the roof
actually feels no effect from the re-
moval OF this heavy load.
In the same way a man of average
size would be relieved OF weight of
about a ton and half IL there were
no air chambers in the human body.
1t has been figured that fall Of an
inch In the barometer over territory
400 miles square removes weight
from the surface of the earth of 160,-
000,O00,OO0 tons. Ii this were loaded
on freight cars, twenty tons to the
car and thirty cars to the train, more
than 260,0OO,o00 trains would be re
CURED to move it. If each train were
500 feet long they would stretch out
In line more than 25000,000 miles
long.
The only noise that accompanies this
great transportation feat is made by
the wind. which does considerable roar
ing in the course Of such violent at
mospheric changes.-Kansas City Star.

Red hot liners or grounders some

The shortest two bagger known was

derstandngs between the two coun-
tries
In no river is spirit more evident |
than in the Rio Grande. Along Its
sinuous route below Rio Grande City
1t pushes its way through miles of
level sand in It's final reach for the
gulf, twisting and doubling upon itself
like a sea serpent. In 184S 1t was FIX
ed upon as the boundary line between
the United States and Mexico. The
boundary was to be the middle Of the
river, following the deepest channel"
But the river possessed characteristics
that had not impressed themselves
upon the trainers of the convention as
possible causes Of friction between the
people living along it's banks. In ad-
dition to its eroding power, exercised
through long months OF low and mean
water, 1t could during food periods
leap with torrential force across a
narrow neck OF land at the base of one
of It's long loops and cut for itself
new channel Through such avulsive
action Of the river Texas soil would
sometimes become Mexican, and on oc-
casions a plantation occupied by jacals
and Mexican citizens would overnight
find itself a part of Texas.
An example will serve to show both
the extraordinary actions Of the river
and the difficulties in the way OF any
satisfactory adjustment Of conflicting
interests A certain Josiah Turner be-
gan to farm the Galveston ranch, on
the Texas bank. Eight years later be
was surprised when 221 acres Of Mexi-
can land came across the river and at
tached itself to his ranch. An arrange
ment was effected by which he became
the owner of this land Six years later
the river cut off q piece Of Mr.. Tur-
ner's land and took it to Mexico. Twen-
ty-one years later the river made up its
mind TO repay the farmer for what ii
/ had taken from him and so carried
! back into Texas a piece Of land far
larger than the tract originally lost
The Mexican owners claimed posses
sion, and a new convention dealing
with the questions under dispute be-
came necessary.
Brigadier General Anson Mills, u.
S. A., appointed to represent the United
States, recommended that the ''cutoffs"
be forever eliminated from the bound
ary line, all those occurring on the
right OF the river to pass to the juris-
diction Of Mexico, those on the left to
that OF Texas. The inhabitants, If any,
should retain their citizenship in the
country from which they had been so
suddenly and violently detached, or
they might acquire the nationality OF
the country to which they We're now
attached Any cutoff exceeding 650
acres in area and having a population
of over 200 souls was not to be consid-
cred a banco, and the old bed Of the
river should remain the boundary A
convention embodying his recommends
tions was finally ratified by both coun-
tries Thus the great turbid, silt bear
ing river is left to pursue its way un-
trammeled. but the terrors so long syn
onymous with its name have through
the operation Of this equable arrange
ment become a part Of the STORED, ro-
mantle past

corpusoIes In Normal Blood.

Normally there are approximately
5,0OO,000 red blood corpuscles In the
cubic millimeter The number is tenn
porarily diminished during fatigue and
after the ingestion OF much fluid. Fast
ing and profuse sweating increase the
number of red blood cells by concen-
trating the blood. In high attitudes
the number is also increased. There
are 5000 to 10000 white cells in the
cubic millimeter, the ratio OF white to
red cells being about l to 500. In
health the blood amounts to about one
thirteenth of the body weight.
