Topoaraphy Of the Air.

Explorations of the air have re-
vealed an astonishing definiteness of
arrangement in It's layers, although,
of course, the details are continually
changing. Ley, in England, has di-
rected his studies of floating balloons
to a solution of the question of the
influence of the topography of the
earth's surface on the state of the air
above it. He finds, among other things,
that the disturbances produced by hills
and valleys are transmitted to an I'M
expectedly great elevation, affecting
the lower and middle strata through
out. A general effect noticed is that
the velocity of the wind, or of a cur
rent Of air, is increased over a hill
and diminished over a valley. 1t is
thought that similar observations, gen.
orally distributed, would furnish us
with real topography of the air

SMALL BOYS PLAN WORKED
Whole Lot Better Than Keeping Con-
slant Watch for Maraudine Band
Of Chickens.

One time when Frank Wallace, state
entOmologist, was small boy, says
the indianapolis Star, his father as
signed him to guard a garden from a
marauding band of chickens from a
neighbor's coop. Frank did not like
the Idea Of wasting his precious boyish
time on unprineipled chickens and set
his wits to working.
He bored holes through grains of
corn, tied notes to the end of a thread
attached to the grains and set the bait.
The foolish raiders fell for the trick.
frightened by the fiuttering notes a
few inches from the ends of their bills
and the sensation of the threads In
their throats, the chickens went fly
ing home and tore around the yard.
This attracted the owner and the
chickens were caught and notes read.
This is what they read:
"rve been over to Wallace's this
afternoon"
The next day the same thing oc-
Cured and this is what the notes said
that day:
II scratched out Wallace's onion
bed today"
On the third day the notes read:
"Say, now listen: This is the last
day Pm going over to Wallace's and
come back alive"
There was no fourth day to the
story except that the owner of the
chickens and the father of young Wal
lace nearly got into a fight.

Mont st. Michel Abbey Restored.

Tourists who visit Mont Saint Michel
off the coast of Normandy, will find
the Benedictine abbey which crowns
Its summit restored for worship. AS
early as the Eighth century Mont
Standardized, possessed religious as
sociations, but the present buildings
only date from the Thirteenth to the
Sixteenth century. The height of the
church exceeds the height Of the rock
upon which it stands 165 feet, and
the granite of which 1t is built was
brought by boat from the Isles of
Chausey and hoisted up the steep side
Of the hill. Since 1874 the Mont has
been under the care of architects ap-
pointed by the Ministry des Beaux-
Arts, and by their research and res
toration the abbey fortress now ap-
pears in almost its former grandeur.

Melissy, as everyone knew, had

The Captain, on his part, was to

wiles of scheming widows, especially
