Tides In the Atmosphere Similar to Those on the Sea.' ln til men began to navigate the air and study its currents and move n nils little attention was paid to the conditions of the upper atmosphere and such matters as atmospheric tides and top currents completely encircling the earth were at seemingly llttlo lb terest. Since men have flown, and especla ly since men have flown and fallen ve have heard a great deal in a vague way of air currents. Recently Law. rrnce Hodges in a paper before an English scientific body gave som unique facts about air tides which are not generally known. The moon, we know, causes th rarlne tides by Its attraction. I 'Iraws the water on the surface of 'e earth toward It In a hump on the e that it exposed to the lunar in u.ence, and draws the earth Itself '-.way from the water on the opposite iidc, leaving a corresponding hump of valer. The air, it seems, Is afTected In the san e way. The layer of atmosphere 'ibout the earth rises, falls and flows r.ore freely than water, because It la lighter, so the tide comes more quick y in the air at a given spot than the marine tide. The air, It seems. Is affected In the same way. The layer of atmosphere nboiit the earth ris'.s, falls and flows more freely than water, because it is lighter, so the ti'ie comes more quick ly in the air at a given spot than the marine tide. This rise and fall, however, means Just as much to the navigator of the air as the tide In the sea does to the sailor, nnd has to be accounted for. The most remarkable current, how ever, is one constant stream In the at mosphere running from west to east completely around the earth In the upper atmosphere. This was first brought to public at "ention when the volcano Krakatao blew a cubic mile of matter Into the .ipper atmosphere In the '80s. The lighter pnrticlea were seen to make a complete circuit of the earth seven times In this circumglobular current before they finally disappeared. Chi' cago Tribune. Stopped Train to Recover Poodle. Mrs. Richard Buckles of Taylor ville, III., caused a passenger train on the Bluff Line to be stopped be tween Alton and St. Louis while she got off to search for a pet French poodle dog which she had Intrusted to the baggage man and which es caped through the open car door.

Mrs. Buckles insisted that the conduc tor stop the train while she got off. She found the poodle, only slightly injured. She then drove to Alton, where she waited for another train. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Wedding Cake Pagoda. At Mingun, on the right bank of the Irrawaddy River, about five miles from Mandalay, In Burma, there stands a peculiar pagoda known as the Wedding Cake Pagoda because It looks like a marvellously magnified bridal cake.

Speaking of conjuring, the allied art of juggling Is one of the most amusing and valuable of diversions especially to the sedentary. Many physicians become expert In juggling, but It Is to their patients that it is most useful. The bedridden, If they retain the use of their hands, may beguile many a weary hour in learning to keep three or four tennis balls In the air at once and in balancing sticks and other simple objects on the forelluei or on the chin. For the Walnworker who does not care for walking there is no better recreation. It has often occurred to us that In cases where there Is any reason to fear some form of paralysis the educating of disused cerebral. carebellnr and spinal centres by the i.pid end complex movements re- Itiired In Juggling might serve to act s nn efficient preventive.

Many quaint old inns are to be seen in King's Lynn and the sign of the Lattice Inn Is one of the oldest In existence. In the nl.len limes the vindows of Inns were kept open, and n order to hide the revellers within i lattice screen, painted red, was heed in the window. There is an jld saying: "As well known by my vlt as an alehouse by a red lattice." i'he lattices continued up to the be jlnnlng of the eighteenth century nd when they disappeared from the Aindows they were adopted as signs. Hie latter are very scarce and It Is niestionable whether half a dozen ould be found In this country. Cycl ing. Airship's Lifting Capacity. An airship was made for the British navy -which had a lifting capacity of twenty tons. In many lespects this Is the largest ever constructed and s the first built for the English gov ernment.

It will be five hundred feet in length, and will have two motors of a total of 40 horse-power, capable of driving the machine at a rate of forty-flve miles an hour in still air. The Black Canary. A black canary comes of a cross between the wild British goldfinch and a cage canary. As black as coal. this crystal palace songster shows no trace whatever In feathers of the colorings of either of Its parents. While more or less dark finches are not so rare, still this Is the first time that a bird with canary blood in Its veins has ever been produced Jet black.

SHREWD IDEA OF DIPLOMAT Where Russian Officer of Embasi) Proved More Than a Match for Abdul Hamld. D.plomatlsts abroad tell how a dis tinguished member of the Russian corps diplomatique cleverly outwitted Abdul Hamld. the late Sultan of Tur key. The Russian displayed a curious Ingenuity In Introducing the business of his country In the guise of personal pleasure. It appears that the Sultan had abso lutely refused to grant an audience to any member of the diplomatic body at Constantinople and that during the period In question Abdul Hnmld spent the greater part of his time In cock fighting, an amusement whereof he was passionately fond. The Russian henrd that his imperial majesty stood In need of fresh birds to supply the place of those killed In fight, whereupon the wily Muscovite procured a fine-looking white fowl of the barnyard species, caused It to be trimmed and spurred to resemble a gamecock, and sent It In a richly deco rated cage to the Sultan. The ruse was successful, but the Sultan, nt first delighted with the gift, soon sent for the diplomatist to ex plain, If he could, why his bird had shown no Inclination to fight. The RusBlnn went, examined the bird In the presence of Abdul Hamid, and with great astonishment and regreti acknowledged that It was quite unable to cope with the royal gamecocks, which were undoubtedly of a superior breed. A conference followed on the subject of gamecocks In general; and when this was finished the Muscovite suc ceeded In drawing the Sultan In a mood for conversation of a different character, and In time adroitly Intro duced the political matter he had so long awaited an opportunity to discuss. After a long Interview he returned to his embassy triumphant over his col leagues. Harper's Weekly. fchool Children Handicapped. "Fully one-third of all children in the primary and grammar grades ar physically or mentally incapacitated, or both," says Rheta Childe Dorr, In nn article on "The Child That Is Dlf. ferefct," In the Century. "These chil dren, approximately one-third of all children under fourteen years of age, cannot keep up with the ordinary school curriculum, which Is devised to meet the needs of perfectly healthy, normal, average, well fed, well cared for youngsters." Chinese Complexions. A French writer has given in La Presse Medlcale the results of his ob servations on massage in China. He remarks that the exquisite complexion of the young Chinese women Is due ! not to enameling, as has been sus pected, but to careful manipulation of the face done by expert masseuses. They begin by a gentle pinching of the cheeks between the tips of their fingers, which lasts fully ten minutes; then apply lotions on absorbent cot ton, then an unguent, and finish by kneading the cheeks with an extreme delicacy of touch, always proceeding from the nose and commissures of the lips toward the ears. This Is a harmless and physiologic ally correct process which can ba recommended In caRes, rarer than they should be, where the physician Is consulted concerning a faded or otherwise unattractive complexion.
