THE CLOUDS.

A cloud is n mass OF mist or for
boating high In the air, instead of
near the ground. Clouds vary greatly
I'm their appearance and. hence. are
divided into seven classes They are
three simple-cirrus. cumulus and
stratus-and four ompound-cirro-
cumulus. cirro-status cumulo- stratu
and cumulo- cirro-stratus or nimbus.
Tho cirrus or curl clouds consists OF
white wavy lines or curled bands. n
is the lightest of all cloud forms and
attains the highest elevation. floating
four or five miles above tho surface Of
the earth In regions of perpetual frost.
1t is supposed to consist OF minuta
crystals of Ice such as we see in tho
snowflake. and may DO defined as froz
en- fog. They are often heralds Of the
cyclone.
cumulus clouds derive their name
from the fact that they are heaped IN
like vast mountains towering one upon
another. They are often of glistenine
Wilderness. or all clouds they are per
caps the grandest.
Stratus clouds appear in long lay
ers or ribbons. They are seen most
frequently in the evening, and. when
they form those islets OF gold which
render the sunset sky so beautiful.
The compound clouds combine tho
features OF the simple ones from
which they are named.
Tho cirro-cumulus Is made up OF
fcecy masses--cirus, which roll them-
selves up into rounded shapes These
are called the "mackerel sky"
Tho ctrro-stratus consists OF layers
OF cirrus clouds They often resemble
n shoal of fishes. swimming parallel to
one another.
The cumulo STRATUS Is formed Of
heaped clouds resting on layer clouds.
The nimbus is simply a cloud Of any
kind. from which rain falls.
The average elevation OF the clouds
Is about n half n mile.
Clouds screen tho earth from oxccs-
sive heat In summer. and. ms mantle,
thoy keep II warm In winter by check
ing radiation.

MY VISIT TO THE BERLIN.

One bright Sunday afternoon my

When we got to the boat we found
that visitors were not allowed to ~

GOING FISHING.

One afternoon after school VIC went
about two miles to a pond. whcrc we
went fishing. We fshcd about five
hours and caught six fish. Of which
some were perch and come club. Az
there was no boat on the pond, we
had to fish along the shore: but our
lines were long. and we could throw
them some distance.
When We had been at tho pond
sometime some one noticed that the
clouds were rising rapidly: and we
just had time to 20 into the mill be-

everything looked very fresh. and after

INTO ITS OWN

Always, since the party name was
coined, it has been a credit TO be a
Democrat. In seaso and out of sea-
son he Democratic party has been
the party of the people. Factions
have erred, but ever has the body of
Democracy stood for popular sover-
eignment; for equal and exact justice
to all classes. Ever has it stood for
the rights Of the individual citizen:
ever has it insisted that the best gov
eminent is that which goes no fur
ther thar h measures necessary to
insure life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness.
1t was the founder of the Demo-
cratic party who gave us the Decla-
ration of Independence. That same
great Democrat, Thomas Jefferson,
as President, gave us the Louisiana
Purchase, since transformed into IL
prosperous states. Another Demo
cratic President gave us a broad area
OF which the state of California Is
now a part. Still another Democrat,
elected President but denied his seat.
submitted to arbitration and injus-
tice rather than embroil his country
men in civil war.
All through the years of its his.
tory the great leaders of Democracy
have fought to protect the people
from their exploiters. In vain tariff
barons and trust magnates sought to
subdue them. With the majority and
against the majority they kept the
faith. Vanquishd again and again
they rallied anew at every battle call.
at times the light OF victory famed
brightly; again it Hickered and fail
ed; yet they pressed on A long
night followed the brief hour of sue
cess. And then-a new leader took
up the standard, and Democracy
stood triumphant with Woodrow
Wilson as its champion.
Today to be a Democrat Is to be
in the front rank of the forces that
make u American progress. No
longer can the Democratic party be
called the party Of negation. It has
stood the test OF power, and stands
for tn as a party of achievement
What is promised 1t has fulfilled. Il
has given the nation honest revision
of the tariff, a currency law that will
prevent panics, an income tax that
places the greater share of the bur
den OF the government on those who
will feel 1t least, a parcel post that
has sounded the death knell of the
express monopoly. an industrial EN-.
ployes' arbitration act that has al.
ready ayerted two great strikes, and
n trust law that makes guilt personal
and forces "malefactors OF great
wealth out in the open with the or.
binary knight of the road.
