concern on account of the scarci

of the farm. On this account all
farmers are hoping for rain be

ly matter to some of the coal

How High Is The Atmosphere.
One would hardly think ot look
insr to the moon for information
about the height of the earth's at
mosphere. Yet it is m just that
way evidence has beea obtained
that the atmosphere extends
much higher than was for a long
time assumed.
Observations of lunar eclipses
made at Lord Kosse's observa
tory in Ireland have shown that
aha riua-ititv of heat derived from
the moon - which heat is, of
course, merely reflected sun heat,
inst as moonlight is only reflect
ed sunlight begins perceptibly
to diminish seeral unuutes be
fore the shadow of the earth
reaches tho moon.
The inlerence is that the earth's
atmosphere partly cuts off the
sun's heat as it comes between
the moon and the sun ahead of
the edge of the solid earth, and
calculations based on the length
of time during whicU the loss of
heat from the moon is felt before
the eclipse begins, indicate that
our atmosphere reaches a height
of at least one hundred and nine
ty miles.
How d fferent this is from the
height usually stated m ly be seen
bv consulting a popular school
book on physical geography, pub
liBhed within a few yearf, in
which it i affirmed that beyond
a height of forty miles the amount
of air remaining would be too
small to affect the sun's rays per
ceptibly in any way.
More Nnmerous This Year Than At Any
Time Since Rules Were Revised.
Kendall B. Cressey, the well
known insurance man. who has
kept close tab on football for
years, savs that more injuries
have been reported this year than
in any season since 1908, when
tho rnla were revised. In that
year twenty-four players were
killed and 200 injured. There
were three deaths among college
players this year, two among high
school and five among athletic
club members, while the injured
in college games were 1';1, agaiunt
seventy thjee among high school
players and forty six among ath
letic club members. All death; ,
with one exception, were caused
iu open play, the exception being
the case of a spectator who was
run over by the players and so
seriously injured that he died two
weeks later. Two players died
from spinal injuries, one from
paralysis caused in an opou
tackle, one from a broken back,
two from concussions of the
brain, two from internal injuries
caused by strains and kicks in
vital n.u ts. and oue player fell

Anger Wrecks the System.
It is well know that a violent
fit of temper affects the heart
instantly, and psychophysicists
have discovered the presence of
poison in the blood immediately
after such outburst. This ex
plains why we feel so depressed,
exhausted, and nervous after
any storm of passion worry,
jealousy, or revenge has swept
through tho mind. It h is left in
its wake vicious mental poison
and other harmful secretions in
brain and blood.
There is no constitution so
string but it will ultimately suc
cumb to tho constant racking aud
twisting of the nerve contres
caused by an uncontrolled tem
po:1. Every time you become
angry you reverse all of the nor
mal menial and physical proces
ses, everything in you reoeis
against passion etorms; every
mental faculty protests against
their abuse.
If people only realized what
havoc indulgence in hot temper
plays in their delicate nervous
structure, if they could only see
with the physical eyes the dam
hl'o done, as thev can see what
o " . m i
follows iu tho wake of a tornado,
they would not dare to get angry.
When the brain (jails are over
heated from a ht of temper their
efficiency is seriously impaired if
not absolutely ruined. liie pre
senco of tho anger poison; the
shock to the nervous system, is
what makes the victim so ex
hausted and demoralized after
toss of self control -Orison Swett
