The Cupboard Was Bare.

The late Doctor Masters, who was
formerly a missionary In Canton,
China, afterward lived in Berkeley,
Cal. His friend and missionary,
Doctor Boone, returning on furlough,
was expected to arrive in San Fran
cisco on a certain day. Doctor Mas
ters crossed the bay to the city; he
meant to meet Doctor Boone and his
party, and, after spending the day in
sightseeing, to take him to dinner at
well-known restaurant.
The steamer, however, had reached
port earlier than had been expected,
and when Doctor Masters got to the
dock his friends had left He made
inquiries at the principal hotels. but
could not find them. In order to notify
his family In Berkeley of the neces-
sary change in plans, Doctor Masters
sent them a telegram. Here is the
somewhat damaged message that Mrs.
Masters finally read:
Cant find the bones. Will come
home to dinner."-Youth's Companion.

Mysteries Of krypton.

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 a pressure of
0.000035 millimeters of mercury.
Now this green line is found In
the spectrum of the aurora borealis
and it seems to be well established
that this exists frequently at attitudes
between 100 and 200 miles. and even
sometimes up to nearly 500 miles.
But krypton is one of the heaviest
gases in our atmosphere. It would
seem, therefore, that the density OF
the air at these attitudes Is by no
means negligible. as. whatever the

slaves were kept ignorant by their
masters, because 1t was argued that
in this condition they were less

slavery in Haiti has been described as
the most brutal in the Western hemis-
phere-far more brutal, even, than the
Spanish system which obtained in the

probably less known to

Haiti Is a mountainous island situated

is Haiti, which, despite Its smaiier
area, has a population Of more tnan
100000 almost entirely negro. Inc
social distinctions in the populations
of the two republics are caused by the
fact that the Santo Domingans are
Spanish by language and whatever
civilization they possess, while the
Haitians derived their fundamental
ideas, governmental forms, literature
and language from France.
The Horrible Example.
The island of Haiti-by which Is
meant the entire island-has frequent
ly been held up as the best example
of bad government in our times.
Strictly speaking, this is true. But to
blame it entirely upon the fact that
the Haitians are black men is scarce
ly fair. The responsibility is to be
traced back to colonial days. Haiti
was colonized with African slaves by
the French several hundred years ago,
and the one idea Of the masters of the
island was to make all they possibly
could out of it, regardless Of the sui
fering they inflicted upon their work.
