Mysteries Of krypson.

1t Is usually supposed that at great
heights the pressure of the air is al
most negligible. but the application Of
an ingenious method indicated by
Ramsay gives interesting results. He
asserts that the green line character
istic Of the spectrum OF krypton re-
mains visible under q pressure OF
o.oooo35 miiiimeters q mercury.
Now this green line is found in
the spectrum Of the aurora borealis
and 1t seems to be well established
tsat this exists frequently at attitudes
between 100 and 200 miles, and even
sometimes up to nearly 500 miles.
But krypton Is n Of the heaviest
gases in our atmosphere. II would
seem. therefore, that the density OF
the air at these attitudes is by no
means negligible. as. whatever the
cause may be OF the presence Of kryp-
ton there. 1t could not remain there
unless the air possessed an appre
ciable density.

The effect OF the aeropiane In war

German army corps. Nearly all Of

German airmen are equally aware OF
the Franco Belgian concentrations;
and so for the first time in history q
great war will be fought almost like

sIGNPosTs OF THE DESERT
cvrsous Little Piles Of Stone Whlsh
Al Understand Lead to
Water.

In travelling over the plains oftwest-
ern Texas I have now and then come
on two little Isolated heaps or rock
that at nrst glance seemed not at all
remarkable. After a time l noticed
that n heap was generally about
three feet high and the other about a
foot lower. The two we're always with
In a few feet OF each other and usually
on an elevation or plateau that had
a view OF the country for Ave miles or
more.
The rocks were roughly heaped to-
sether. as II left by children at play.
! sometimes wondered IL they could
be the ruins Of an ancient stone build-
Ing; but that was improbable. for
there was scarcely another stone In
sight.
e later I learned the actual sig.
~niicance OF these rock heaps from an
old Indian whose mind was stored with
all the legends and customs and deeds
OF his people. According to him. when
the Great Spirit Tapped up the mighty
rivers OF the plains he left springs and
water basins here and there for the
antelope and the Indian. These the
antelope easily found by scent. but the
Indian had to search long and INK.
iously for them. Once found, they were
seldom lost-thanks to these rude rock
heaps.

ing as before. and taking a rockfaced
ciih toward the southwest ae a goal.
We rode two miles farther. and there.
trfckling out from beneath the cliffs

clear water.
The old Indian said that whenever a
band Of Indians came upon a new
spring they built these rock heaps
along their trail: since then I have fol-
lowed some half-dozen OF these rude
~signposts and found them to lead ell
