With the Railway Engineer Forces.

Several letters have been received from
Stacy Robbins, who is Somewhere in
Franco" He IL the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Robbins OF Paris, and is member
of Co. G, Fourteenth Engineer American
Railway forces. he sailed about July
2Sth, and his first letter was written on
ardlship. They had perfect weather,
with the exception of two days. As they
neared the danger zone, they were called
at 8 80 In the morning, and were obliged
to remain on deck until In the evening,
all having on their life belts, but they
had no excitement whatever.
They landed In England, and, as they
marched through the streets OF London,
were greeted by the king and queen.
They were detained In England at large
camp, waiting for their supplies, before
leaving for France.
The season there is ahead of ours here,
but the days are very long and the nights
short. The houses were very much
alike, being all brick, and as one could
see all kinds of men about, It was i'm.
possible TO imagine that they were a'
war. The crops there were the finest be
had ever seen.
They have their own cooks, and have
food in abundance. They certainly were
treated nicely by the people OF both
England and France, and he said be
should always have warm feeling fol-
bis brothers across the "Pond."

wh.n Airmsn Fly hloh.

Aviators have cold time OF 1t when
they mount high into the air. On tho
hottest day in summer a flying man
may be In the arctic regions In ten min
utes by mounting to height OF 10000
feet, Just as the climber may pass
through all the zones Of climate by
climbing Kilimanjaro, that giant peak
which rises above the snow line from
the equator. He commences with tho
tropical Jungle and ends amid eternal
snow. The temperature Is invariably
low at 10000 feet and over, whether at
the tropics or the poles, and 1t is quite
likely to be lowest at the equator. In
fact. there is little variation OF temper
ature In these upper reaches Of the at
mosphere. It Is much the same In sum-
mer as winter, except for the difference
which a high wind makes. Even IN
the depth Of hot summer the airman

10000 feet, and at twice that altitude
100 degrees Of frost-the temperature
of the south pole-is usual enough.
