New Highs Made

After the opening another dip IN
wheat unsettled the list, but it
came back quickly when indications
pointed to agreement of both houses
of congress on a relief bill which
would meet with the demands OF
the administration This was taken
as assurance the present session OF
congress would be short-lived.
AS the time for adjournment OF
congress neared, stocks made pro-
gressive gains. Near the close
MANY issues had reached new highs
on the present movement, among
them being National Biscuit, Atchi-
son, Union Pacific, New York Cen
trail and Standard Oil OF New Jer-
sey. All groups joined the upturn
and trading broadened out with vol
ume increasing after early lethargy
Buyinq in the railroad stocks and
bonds was said to reflect prospect
of early decision on the four-party
eastern trunk line consolidation
plan. Best gains we're made by New
York Central, Delaware q Hudson.
New Haven preferred, Chesapeake
g. Ohio, Atchison and Union Pa
ciflc. Central of New eJrsey squirt
ed nearly points.

French Franc Drops

Other markets looked up. Wheat
recovered after making new sea-
sonal lows and closed up e to q
cent a bushel, inspiring advances
in other grains. Cotton gained
more than ST. bale Sugar, rub
Der and silver were firm.
Foreign exchanges were featured
by drop in the French franc to
a new low for the year at 3.91%
cents a franc At this figure the
franc was slightly under par. Bel
gian Belgas made a new low at
1887 cents, off 2 points. Weakness
in these currencies lent credence
to recent reports America would
soon be the recipient of gold from
Europe.
The share market started firm as
confidence in the banking structure
was enhanced by favorable fed
eral reserve statement showing a
drop of $61 100000 in money in cir
culation; a rise of $10,000,000 in

A. g. T. Moves Up

Rising prices in the oils reflected
improved statistics of the industry,
prospects of another giant merger
and indications of agreement OF
producers on foreign marketing
procedure. The recent tax on oil
imports has practically eliminated
the import factor as an element IN
the oil situation, leaving the held
to the domestic companies. In the
petroleum group, Standard OF New
Jersey led with substantial gains
made by Standard of California,
Atlantic Refining, Consolidated Oh
and Houston.
American Telephone rose to above
rs. against a previous close OF 1874
despite its first half report show
mic earnings of $402 common share,
against dividend requirements Oh
$3.50. 1t was reported in generally
well informed circles that the tele-
phone directors would make no
change in the dividend policy at
least until next winter.

1890

Air, like all gases, is highly
compressible. The lowest part of
the atmosphere, pressed down from
above, is relatively dense.
With increased altitude, the den
sity falls off SO rapidly that at a
height of three and a half miles
the air is only about half as dense
as at sea level. Above about five
miles it is too rare for breathing;
hence aerial travellers who go higher
must carry supply of oxygen with
them.
At the f1fty-mile level the atmos-
phere is, according to calculation,
less than one seventy dve-thou-
sandth as dense as at sea level, and
at the 300-mile level, about one
two millionth as dense.
This is pretty good vacuum,

France Is Alert

PARIS, Jan. 18.-The sixty-f1rst
anniversary of the proclamation of
the German empire today found
France preparing to safeguard the
fruits of the World war which broke
Germany's power.
In 1871 France helplessly wit
messed the birth of new empire
in the palace of her former kings
at Versailles and saw herself rele-
gated to secondary rank on the
continent she had dominated for
centuries.
Today French financial experts
review the arguments to be pre-
sented at the Lausanne conference
by which they hope to insure con-
t1nuance of the World war repara-
tons payments from beaten Ger
many to victorious France.
Armament experts continued
preparations for the world disarma-
ment conference at Geneva, where
France will defend, among other
things, those clauses in the YER
sailleS treaty which keep Germany
diSarmed.

trails, various optical phenomena,

and in other ways.
Since 1902 it has been known that
the atmosphere is divided into at
least two layers, or shells, having
different characteristics.
At the bottom is layer called
the "tropoSphere," literally, turning
Sphere'O, in which the air has up
ward and downward movements
and changes of temperature asso-
ciated Herewith, and which enjoys
a monopoly of storms, ordinary
clouds, rain, snow and other man
ifestations that are generally class
flied as weather"
This layer has an average depth
Of between six and seven miles.
Above it lies a region called the
"stratosphere" ('spread-out sphere")
where the winds move only hori-
zontally, and therefore, as the name
implies, occur in layers. This re-
gion extends to an unknown height.
II the straposphere the temper
allure of the air decreases rapidly
with increase in height; so that, for
example, aeronauts always en-
counter frigid weather a few miles
above the earth.
This fall in temperature goes on
until, at the top of the troposphere,
the thermometer reads 60 to 70 de-
