HOW THE WORLD WAS BORN

TINE diameter of our world is a little un-
der 5000 miles. It's surface is rough,
the more projecting parts of the
roughness are mountains, and in the hollows
of its surface there is film of waters, the
oceans and seas. This film Of water is about
five miles thick at its deepest part-that is
to say, the deepest oceans have depth of
five miles. This is very little in comparison
with the bulk of the world.
About this sphere IS thin covering of air,
the atmosphere. AS We ascend in balloon
or go up mountain from the level Of the
seashore the air is continually less dense, I'M
til at last 1t becomes SO thin that it cannot
support life. At height Of twenty miles
there is scarcely any air at all-not one hun
dredth part of the density of air at the sur
face Of the sea.
The highest points to which bird can fly
is about four miles up-the condor, it is said,
can struggle up to that; but most small birds
and insects which carried UP by aero
plane or balloon drop off insensibie at much
lower level and the greatest height to which
mountaineer has ever climbed Is under
five miles,
LIES FOUR-MILE LIMIT
Men have flown in aeroplanes to a height
Of over four miles, and balloons with men in
but at the cost of considerable physical suf-
fering. Small experimental balloons, con-
tanning not men, but recording instruments,
have gone as high as twenty-five miles,
It is in the upper few hundred feet OF the
crust of the earth, in the sea, and in the
lower levels of the air below four miles that
life is found. We do not know of any life
at all except in these films of air and water
upon our planet. So far as we know, all the
rest of space is as yet without life. Scien-
tific men have discussed the possibility Of
life, or of some process of similar kind, oc-
curing upon such kindred bodies as the
planets Venus and Mars. But they point
merely to questionable, possibilities.
Astronomers and biologists and those who
study physics have been able to tell us some
thing of the origin and history Of the earth.
They consider that, vast ages ago, the sun

HOW EARTH LOOKS FROM MOON

YERKES OBSERVATORY. Williams Bay,
Wis, Sept. 12.-The man in the moon could
never get very thoroughly lit up by what
the earth furnishes him. Explaining new
method of measuring the "earthlight'' on
the moon and the brightness of the dark
parts of fair Luna, Professor Edward S.
King, of the Harvard Observatory, told the
American Astronomical society that the bril-
liancy Of our satellite is about 10000 times
greater than the light delivered on its sur
face by this dull terrestrial sphere.

THE OLD GARDENER SAYS

Pepper plants are as susceptible to frost
as anything which grows in the garden,
so that what fruit remains should be cut
off unless protection can be given on cold
nights. Peppers will keep fairly well If

one often sees the hot little Chilli peppers

A similar practice may be followed to adj

"Fifty Years Ago."

Fifty years ago a man was considered old
at sixty. Today he is only in the prime of
life, with years of usefulness ahead of him.
In Poland the "o1dcst inhabitant'' is still
farming at the age OF one hundred and thir-
ty-two, and he isn't worrying about the ap-
proach Of death. We appear to be a genera
ton of people enjoying longer lives than our
forefathers, a fact which the average man
cannot explain. Perhaps our local physicians
can throw some light on a subject of such
vital interest. Let them speak up.-Dawson
