 The gaseous envelope of atnos-
 pheric air surrounding the earth is the medium in which we have to live and it bears the same relation to the human family as the waters of the
 globe to the order of fishes. The air and water are essential to life and as much a factor to man the quality of water to the fish. This normal atmosphere air exerts on our bodies a definite dynamic force or physical pressure of 14.7 pounds on every
 square inch of our bodies, if we live
 at or near the sea level. and the higher up we go this atmospher pressure diminishes until on the
 heights of the Rockies it is probably 1.-two pounds less. The normal pres
 sure at sea level is indicated by the Barometer as 80 (inches), and it de-
 creases by an established scale as 1t

that an electric line with all kinds of traffic can generally pay neces- sary expenses and make a reason able profit upon the basis of a five cent fare. It makes the money that energizes the whole system, however. within section of about three miles in the city center. Suppose that a Jitney service is started which car ries passengers over route two. miles long, within that section, and takes the traffic The electric line will have to raise it's fares to between six and seven cents to pay expenses. If the Jttneys extend their route to two and one-half miles, the electric line fares have to go up over eight cents. If the whole three-mile section is covered the electric line will have to go up to ten cents to meet it's costs. The other alternative is to go into the hands of a receiver and out of business.
 So far as competing with the jit- neys is concerned, says this expert, the trolleys could easily do it if they were not called upon as public ser wants to maintain their long lines. Operating in the sections of dense traffic only, they could easily make money carrying passengers for two and one-half or two cents each. How ever, they face a broader responsi- bi1ity.

He has to become adjusted to one of unusual relaxation, and while it is slow in its manifestations, as barom etric changes are generally, gradual, yet the effect in miniature is like going up to great height on a mountain range. Of course this the relaxed condition in unpleasant weather extending over a number of days makes us feel tout of sorts'' While the spell is on we are in the doIdrums and the situation is recog- nized as of enough importance by careful surgeons, who weigh every factor, to defer important operations which can be postponed, when these unfaVOra.bIe barometric conditions prevail, and the patient needs every ounce of vitality to pull through.
 It is just as well to know these fundamental facts about the inf1u- ences which affect our physical being so that we can estimate that .ftired'' or s'good-for-nothing'' feeling which accompanies a spell of dull weather; to know that it has definite and transitorys cause outside our bodies It is really an explanation of the 1Ips and downs of our healthy existence Naturally there is no remedy to be prescribed.

COUNSEL AND CLIENT.
Al LaWyer's Right to Defend a Prisoner
He Knows to Be Guilty.

Al lawyers Right to Defend a Prisoner
He Knows to Be Guilty.
Ought an advocate to defend a pris-
oner whom he believes to be guilty?
MI. Justice Darling in a case In which
q solicitor was the plaintiff made some
observations on this familiar problem
which ought not to go unrecorded. He
protested, says the London Globe,
against the notion that a lawyer.
whether barrister or solicitor. was un-
der an obligation to cease to conduct a
case which he realizes to be bad.
III an advocate In the course of a
trial for murder comes to recognize
that his client is guilty is he," asked
the learned Judge, ito say to the court,
Hang my client?" Judges have sell
dom asked about the ethics of advo-
cacy In open court. 1t was, however,
In a considered judgment in the our
Of e~xchequer that Baron Bramwell
made his famous contribution to the
discussion.
"a mans rights" said the baron,
ssare to be determined by the court, not
by his advocate or counsel. 1t is for
want Of remembering this that foolish
keople object to lawyers that they will
advocate a case against their own
opinions. A client is entitled to say to
his counsel: 1 want your advocacy, not
your Judgment l prefer that of the
court" Mr.. Justice Darling, in the
40 runn re tho courts oonnurS
Laymen have usually been reader
than lawyers to discuss the ethics Of
advocacy. what do you think Of sup
porting a cause you know to be bad?"
Everybody knows DR.. Johnson's reply
when Boswell asked him this question.
.'Sir, you do not know it to be good or
bad till the judge determines it."
Less generally known is Sydney
Smiths contribution to the discussion.
.Justice is found experimentally to be
most effectually promoted by the oppo-
site efforts of practiced and ingenious
men presenting to the selection OF an
impartial judge the best arguments
for the establishment or explanation
of truth. 1t becomes, then, under such
an arrangement the decided duty OF
an advocate to use all the arguments
in his power to defend the cause he
bias adopted and to leave the effects OF
those arguments to the judgment OF
Others" This was said in an assiZe
sermon the famous wit preached at
York in 1924.

DARING BELLE BOYD.
Brilliant and Romantic Career of tho
Famous War Spy.

FdfnOuS wa SPys
Stonewall Jackson's valley campaign
was one of the great deeds of history.
Not since Napoleon's time have men
been so dazzled as they were by that
great exploit of his. Yet Stonewall
might have gone down the valley in
defeat had it not been for a little col
lege girl named Belle Boyd.
The Union general. Shields, was
quarfered at Miss Boyd's house. He
held a council of war there. Miss
Boyd bored a hole in the floor of her
chamber. which was over Shields
room. and lay there with her ear to
it throughout the night. The mex
morning Stonewall Jackson was in full
possession of the plans for a great bat
tie and was able to defeat the Union
army.
She kept up her valiant work for
the Confederates until the Union OIL
GERS began 70 suspect her, and jack
son ordered her to move from her
Shenandoah home to Winchester. She
had peer arrested by the federalS and
had firted her way to liberty, for she
was a pretty girl despite the libelous
photographs of her. In Winchester
Jackson conferred upon her a commits
sion as captain in the Confederate
army. By this time the whole north
had become aware of the services she
was rendering the Confederacy, and
every officer and private was on the
alert to get her. Yet she escaped until
1864. when she was caught on a BLOCK
ade runner. Her captor lost his heart
to her, deserted the navy and married
her, and the Prince Of Wales, after
ward Edward VII. attended the wed
