STUDY OF AIR CURRENTS.
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'

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 was going to McClusky,
111., to visit and had put the dog In
the baggage car. While the baggage
man had the door open the dog leaped
out and the baggage man went back
to notify Mrs. Buckles of the loss.
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.

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. It was built In the early
part of the nineteenth century and is
In thoroughly good preservation, only
a few of the Images inside having
been broken. The extreme height to
the top of the minaret Is eighty feet
and the circumference about 600 feet
The pagoda stands back fronthe riv
er some 300 feet and is hidden from
It by a grove of teak trees. Close to
it is the famous Mingun bell. Wide

TEACH SICK FOLKS TO JUGGLE.
Also Beneficial to the Brain Worker
of Sedentary Ways.
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.

Expanding Bullets Used.
One of the worst features of the
rms traffic on the Arabian sea coast
..' Dnliuhiftnn and In the Persian gulf
.s that the ammunition from Europe
or.sists of expanding bullets. The
Jritish government has forbidden the
ise of dum-dums, but no prohibition
?xisis in the tribal country. British
roops will thus be handicapped in
uture frontier operations. Tens of
housands of magazine rifles have
eached Afghanistan and the trlba.1
linterland, but the danger will be ag
gravated If dum-dums be.ome com
ncn. Traders undertake to give at
east one hundred cartridges with
jach rifle.
Lattice Screens for Inns.
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

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. The usual load which this
itachine will be called upon to carry
111 never be more than five tons, the
remainder being a margin of safety.
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.

this crystal palace songster shows no

not so rare, still this Is the first time
that a bird with canary blood in Its
veins has ever been produced Jet

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.
