future meeting place for Americans in
Paris for generations,
Although seen without furni-
ture, the new embassy already con
tains examples of gifts from well
known people that will continue to
flow in 10 it now that there is
permanent American place in Paris.
Such is Chamberlain's Portrait Of
Banjamin Franklin" painted in 1852,
presented to the embassy by Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid.
In the main dining hall there hangs
a fine old oil portrait of George Wash
ington, given by ogden Mills. 1t is
understood that similar portraits Of
Lafayette and Rochambeau may later
grace this room, which is tastefully
walled with large blocks of cream
colored Caen stone.

How Thick Is the Air?

PRACTICALLY all of the atn1os-
phere is confined to a shell extend
ing outward from the earth not more
than 200 miles, according to the best
available evidence. Even at a distance
of so miles above the earth the quan-
tity of air is believed to be almost
inappreciable. The density OF the at
mosphere decreases rapidly as alti-
tude increases. If the atmosphere
were at the present sea level density
from bottom to top, it would all be
confined within five miles of the
earth. One half of the mass of the at
mosphere is within three and one half
miles of the surface Of the earth,
three-fourths is below the 7-mile
level and seven -eiShths is below the
10-mile level. Thus the solid earth
has but thin coating of air only
about one-fortieth as thick as the
diameter of the earth at it's greatest:
or, If we consider the atmosphere
only in its appreciable extent (about
40 miles above the earth), only about
one two-hundredth as thick as the di-
ameter of the earth--a mere coating
not thicker, relatively speaking, than
the skin of an apple of ordinary size.

Accuracy VS.. Speed.

DEVELOPMENT of accuracy is
more important than speed in
learning to do certain mechanical
operations, according to DR. Garry
Cleveland Myers of Cleveland Ohio,
who will report a new series of eX-
perfments in a forthcoming issue of
the journal of Personnel Research
Typewriting was done by two squads
of seven girls each. practicing three
minutes a day for 36 days. One group
was instructed TO work for speed and
were reminded by their instructor at
each trial TO speed up all they could
The other group was cautioned at
each trial to take great care that
no errors We're made. At the end Of
the period the accuracy group had
not gained much over the speed
group; but later after four months
without practice, when each group
copied, for speed unfamiliar material
for 10 minutes, the speeders wrote an
average of 383 words, while the ac-
curacy squad wrote an average Of
40I words. The average of the ac-
curacy workers was 1.2 words wrong
per 100; that of the speeders was %.
later series of experiments cor
roborated the finding that if atteu-
ton was directed solely to speed ac-
suracy tended to diminish. On the
other hand, if attention was directed
solely to accuracy speed tended TO
increase.

but the work carried on and the cattle
were gradually collected.
HOWEVER, when the cattle We're in
the corral the work was by no
means over. I'll never forget the first
cattle branding / watched in Matto

from a jet-black Bahiano to an olive
skinned Paraguayan.

The cook, as cattle mems cooks usu-
ally are, was lame, having lost a leg.
We all had lunch together, sitting
around a log fire in a waffle shelter,
eating rice, dried salt meat and man
dioca
Then all set to work. First the cook
sailed forth with a piece of fat and
some dry twigs, while others collected
logs. When good fire was burning
the cook put in the branding irons. All
being prepared, work began.
The method of handling the cattle
was so primitive IndL SOME expert
enced cattle men may disbeleve me
when L describe it. About 5 yards
from the inclosure in which the bulls
stood waiting to be branded a stout
post with a hole through the center
had been driven in the ground.
A lasso was passed through the hole
and held at one end by a man on a
horse. Another man dropped the loop
of the lasso over the bulls neck and
signaled to the man on the horse, who
moved away, dragging the bull
through the self-closing swing doors
and sharp up against the post. Here,
half stunned by Concussion with the
post, 1t was easy to throw the bull and
brand him.
Occasionally, however, the elf-clos-
ing swing doors failed to act, three or
four bulls got out at once, and pande-
manium reigned in the corral. Then
these Matto Crosse cowboys showed
what splendid cattle men they were.
In a second each man had his lasso
whirling around his head and secured
his animal.
At times one would miss and turn
and jump for the stockade, for the
