Tho only reason why mountain air Is healthier than low air is that moun tain air Is cleaner than low air. The chemical composition of the atmos phere differs but little, if at nil, wher ever the sample be taken. Ou Tike's peak tho relation of oxygen to nitro gen and other constituents of the at mosphere Is the same as at tho level of the ocean. The favorable effects therefore of n change of air are not to be explained by any difference In the proportion of Its gaseous constituents. One Important difference, however. Is tho bacteriological one. The nir of high altitudes contains no microbes and is, In fact, sterile, while near the ground and some 100 feet above It microbes nro abundant. Iu the air of Chicago and other crowded places not only does the mi crobe Impurity Increase, but other Im purities, such ns the products of com bustion of coal, accrue also. Several Investigators have found traces of hy drogen and certain hydrocarbons in the air, und especially In the nir of pine, oak and birch forests. It Is to those bodies, doubtless consisting of truces of essential oils, to which the curative effects of certain health resorts are ascribed. Thus the locality of a fir forest Is said to give relief in diseases of the respiratory tract. lint all tha same, these traces of essential oils and aromatic products must be counted, strictly speaking, as Impurities, slnco they are not apparently uecessary con stituents of the air. As recent analy ses have shown, these bodies tend to disappear in the air as a higher alti tude Is reached until they disappear, altogether. Louisville Dispatch. One of Kanoleon'ii Feat.
