Phenomena of the Goads
Various attempts have been made
to measure the height of clouds by
photbgraphy. Simultaneous pictures
are made by plating two cameras 600
feet apart and connecting them by
telegraph wires. From the amount of
displacement of the cloud caused by
viewing it alternately from each end
of the 600 foot baseline its ]height can
be calculated. Certain of the macker-
el sky clouds photographed were seven
and a quarter miles high. The loftiest
clouds whose elevation was measured
belonged to the tape known as drilla
or curl cloud, the height of Which was
a little in excess of seventeen miles.
It scums strange to speak of the
"age of clouds," of "young clouds"
and "old clouds." tt appears that
such a distinction can be made and
that the discovery, as so frequently
happens in matters scientific, was
based upon a preceding mistake.

This whole passage is reminiscent
of the great prophecy of the suffer-
ing servant of Jehovah in Isa. 53,
which should be read in connection
with this lesson,
The Eskimo's Digestion.
There is at least one native race
of America that is little troubled with
dyspepsia. The liekimo ,seems to
defy all latus in this relation and to
thrive. Ile eats until he is sa1iseed.
and it takes 1110111 to satisfy hint, if,
indeed be over is satisiled. Ile eats
as, long as there is a shred of the
feast before him. His capacity is
limited only by the supply.
The Eskimo, it further appears, can
mance no m15(01(0 in the manner et
cooking his food for the very simple
c' reason that ho does not cook 11. Nor,
of any thinking beings that have not so far as theadoeblubber or fat of the Arc-
thw human form. But how absurd that i tic Is Oon0Orned, 1s he worried about
is when you come frankly to consider his manner of eating it. Indeed, he
in all liklihood no dweller on this sub-
lunary orb ever will know.
In contemplating the immensity of
Algol's mighty planet we feel like pig-
mies. But are we such, relatively, to
its possibly humanlike inhabitants?
We are naturally prompted in imagi-
nation to people a giant world with
giant inhabitants. But think for a
moment. If. you worn living on such
a world as Algol's satellite you could
not walk- You could not lift a foot
from the ground by reason of the tre-
mendous .attraction' of gravitation.
Such being the 01058, It seems more
plausible to suppose that the people
on the giant planet (if there are any)
aro tiny creatures, lightly and deli-
cately built.
We are so oonstitnted as to be un-
able to realize the possible existence
it. There aro doubtless thousands of
billions of inhabitable worlds in the
universe and presumably the "think.
ing beings" that tenant them aro most-
ly patterned very differently from. our -
solves.
It is -a Lair supposition that many of
the distant planetary races are incom-
parably superior to ourselves in point
of intelligence as well : as physically.
Is it not even imaginable that some
of then may approximate to types
which, whether winged or not, we
would regard as corresponding to cur
c0neeption;ef the angels?
