He cannot travel up very high, even in
a balloon or an airplane, and he can.
not build his weather station on noun
tains that are high enough. For these
men must know things that happen Is
miles above. They must know how cold
It Is there, how much water Is In the air
In those heights and what the air pres
sure happens to be. To do that, they
send up balloons containing, not pas
sengers. for humans could not live In
attitudes 80 high, but certain instru-
rnents.
The balloon used Is about 5 feet In
diameter and made Of rubber very much
as are the toy balloons you buy from
the street vendors. This Is filled with Q
light gas. hydrogen or heliurn: and
hanging from 1t Is q closed parachute
together with box containing the in
struments, as you see in Fig. 1. The
balloon is let 60 and travels upwards to
great heights, often as high as 16 miles.
But when 1t reaches this point, the
pressure Of the gas within the rubber
bag bursts the balloon. The parachute
then opens and descends slowly back to
earth carrying with 1t the measuring in
struments.
These instruments, consisting Of q
Thermometer for measuring temperature,
a barometer for measuring air pressure,
and O i1ygrometer to measure the
amount of moisture, are self-recording;
that Is, they write on paper what they
measure. And so when they land with
their parachute, scientists can -ead the
records they hare written and thus
know about atmospheric conditions IN
heights that no man can reach at the
present time.

Ell Comancho's Campfire Stories
THE WEASEL AND HIS WAYS

All of the members Of this family of
animals are natural-born killers, and
the weasel is probably the worst of
them all, for he VIII kill Just for the
pure Joy Of killing. They all live on
fish and meat. the mink and otter liv-
ing almost exclusively on fish, while the
others prefer meat. They will eat
almost anything they can get Their
teeth on, including snakes. lizards,
grasshoppers. birds, horned toads, frogs
and q host of other things.
} The weasel will attack animals and
birds much larger than he is and kill
them by cutting their Threats. When
he does this he usually drinks the
warm blood Of the first one, and then
just kills the others, leaving them with
out eating a single bite Of their meat.
Cases are known where weasel has
killed a whole chicken house full of
chickens in single night without eat
ing any of the meat. Why the weasel
and his relatives do this wanton MUIR
der is a mystery, and this family Of
animals seems to be the only tribe that
does it.
The fur Of the weasel Is short, fine
and silky and the hide Is tough, so
trappers always find a ready market for
the skins: The Winter pelt or ern1ine
Is much more valuable than the sum-
mer fur, so weasels are mostly trapped
during the Winter.

Hitun Kasan Is the Sioux Indian
name for the little animal known as
the weasel in the Summer and COM
monty called the ermine in Winter.
This name, Hitun Kasan, really means
winter weasel in Sioux, and Is APP
piled to the animal when he Is ia his
Winter coat, which is what the fur
buyers call ermine.l
Frequently an animal or bird Is
known by several different names In
different localities or at different sea-
sons Of the year because 1t changes
color or develops different habits In
different surroundings.
The common weasel Il cousin to
the mink. the marten, the wolverine
and the skunk. The otter also belongs
to this family, group. AL these AMI
mails shed their hair and grow new
coat twice g. year., but the weasel is
the only one that makes any great
change In the color of his coat when
he sheds It. In the Fall he Is brown
on the back and dirty white or yellow
ish white on. the under side. Then
he sheds, and when the new hair grows
out 1t Is all pure white, except the tip
of the tail, which Is pure black. When
this has happened almost any one
would suppose that he was an en-
tirely different ANIMAL but. although
he now bears the name Of ermine, he
is still our old friend the weasel. =

Teddy Toothbrush.

Teddy Toothbrush belonged to the
porcupine family. He had stiff bristles
Sticking out ali over him, and when
ever he got angry he shot them out IN
ali directions. It made no difference
to Teddy II they went right down your
throat. He never cared what happened
when he was In temper.
Teddy did not like to work. "0h.
dear! Oh dearl" he would grumble
when he was thrust into water ana set
to work securing his masters teeth.
MY, how wish I didn't have to work
50 hard"
Then when his master had no pity
on him and would just work him all the
harder, Teddy would get mao. He
would shoot his bristles out in all d.
rections and sputter and scold until, In
disgust, hts master would hang him
back on the hook once more. Maybe

out and bought q nice new one with
a sweet disposition.
Teddy was never so happy IN his
life. This was Just what he had been
longing for an the tirne--nothing to do
but rest. It was just the kind Of life
/ he liked. He decided that temper was
q very handy thing to possess.
