Upper Regions of the Air.
'Above us there extend e a vas unexplored
space far nore iisteresting from 1 scientific,
point of View than the icy regions around
the north pole. No one can reach the limit
of the upper regions of the air and live, un-
less he carries with him air to breathe and
fuel to warm him, for at the paltry distance
of ten miles above the earth the air is too
thin to support respiration, and the ther-
mometer woeld register far belew zero. . It
would be a region of perpetual snow on a
peak of the earth if it should rise to such a
height. A person in a ballon could not
hear a friend in a neighboring balloon, even
if they were near enough to shake hands.
There would be no medium for the propoga-
tion of sound waves. There would, how-
ever, still be a medium for the conduction
of electricity—a medium, in fact, of great
conduetibility—almost as good as a metal;
and it is this medium, at even a less height,
which Testa proposes to use in his methods
of transmitting power hundreds of miles
through the air `without wires.
We live undeoa blanket of air which pro-
tects us from the extreme cold of outer
space. This low temperature becomes evi-
dent fourteen or fifteen thousand feet above
the surfaese of the earth, and would, as I
have said, reach a point far below zero at a
point of ten miles. At this height we should
no longer observe the twinkling of the
stars, for this scintillation is due to the
movements of our atmosphere, which, at the
height I have mentioned, would be extreme-
ly rarefied. IVone could photograph the
sun's spectrum at this altitude, we could
greatly extend our knowledge of the short-
est wave lengths of light, for the atmos-
phere completely absorbs such wave length
as ate concerned in the X ray phenomena.
That this absorption really takes place, can
be proved in a laboratory.
The heat and light which we receive from
the sun are thus greatly modified by this
blanketing layer of air. Thp long waves of
the energy from the sun are called heat
waves. The intermediate waves are termed
light waves, and we receive these in full
measure. The very short waves, however,
are stopped by our atmosphere and are
transformed into—what ?—Forum.

What He Owed to Sir 'Enry.
Justice Sir Henry Hawkins, who has
lately retired from the bench, and has been
raised to , the'peerage, was long known as
England's hanging judge. He could pass
the sentence. of death without moving a
mu-tole—Many judges come close to break-
ing down when they have to don the black
cap—and on evil -doers he invariably came
down heavier than the proverbial thousand
of bricks. But, strange to say, he was pop-
ular with the great criminal classes of Eng-
land ; they came as close to idolizing him as
it is possible for natures such as theirs to
come. Sir Henry was, and still is a con-
firmed race -course visitor. On the days
of choreic races his court was sure to be
-closed, and Sir Henry was to be found mix-
ing with' the.great ones of the course.
One day, Mr. Justice Hawkins, when on
a journey, alighted at a station, and the
moment his foot touched the platform, a
tough -looking fellow, who( had been stand-
ing atease, caught sight ic.f the celebrated
judge. Instantly the savage man became

An Essay on oetry.
Here is a Georgia boy's composition on
" Poetry." -
"A poem is a thing which has rhymes at,
the last end. A poem alio has feet, but
some poems don't stand ;steady on 'em.
Poets mostly have long hair, because times
are hard, and it's cheaper to let it grow.
Poets used to live in a garret on a crust of
bread—when the baker wOuld credit 'em.
Now they live on the groond floor, where'
they can escape easy when the bailiff is
after 'ern. My father seals poetry makes
the world better, but my. Mother says ib
ain't the kind he writes. Poets have a
monument when they die, as -people want to
weigh 'ent down so's they can't come back."

The Queen's Prayers For Her
Soldiers.,
During the war special 'prayers are of-
fered up in the Queen's h usehold for the
preservation of the Brit eh army, and
though Her Majesty does n t join in the
public prayers in ordinar circumstances,
she is always present (says p, London paper)
for those which are said during troublous
times. It is Princess Beatrice who has read
the prayerrein the Queen's palaces for years.
This office treed to be undertaken by the
Prince Consort during his life, and after his
death Her Majesty herself performed it, un-
til eventually it fell to the lot of her young-
est daughter.

in the affirmative. Several days having

ing?' I said to the head bellboy. 'There
hasn't ben anybody in it for three
months.' I
" 'I guer it's the rats,' said he, and we
let it go t that until there came .a. third
ring, louder and longer than either of the
others. 1hen the bellboy went up to in-
vestigate, but soon came back and de-
clared the room waa as empty as a drum.
'It's the rats, sure,' said he. 'They jolt
the wires together somewhere and make
a connection.'
I"The idea seemed plausible enough, but
next day -51 rang so often it got on my
nerves, and it seemed to me, moreover,
that there was something very peculiar
about the sound. It was a sharp, quick
ring, With little breaks, and then a long
ting-ling-linc, as if somebody who was
eXcited or impatient had a finger on the
button. At last I eouldn't stand it any
longer, and, grabbing the pass key, I ran
up stairs, determined to stop that bell or
tear the wire out by the roots. When I
opened the room, I saw at a glance that
nobody had been there lately, for the
carpet had been taken up and the floor
was dusty and unfracked, but, fiat to
make certain, I walked over to th .closet
and unlocked the door.

, HANDWRITING EXPERTS:
Elaborate Methods by Whiehl They
Arrive at Their Conehitsiofis,
)Vhen a piece of disputed or suspected
handwriting ,is submitted to an expert,.
his first care is to note its general ap-
pearance. He observes what seen). to be
UK characteristic habit st of hand: in die
_wi•iter, the style, shading and connection
of letters, their relation to the baSe line
writing,,, and other significant points. The
same process is applied to specimens of
alleged writer's genuine hand..
next step is to disintegrate the
%rifting so that letters repeated in both
specimens may be compared in detail
when placed side by side. In this way
diVergences or resemblances, which
might not appear to the eye in the body
of a paper, are made perfectly clear. If
any of the letters show signs of; hesita-
tion or retouching, as frequently happens
in forgeries, they are photographed
through the niiscroscope. By this en-
largement retouches or tracings are
brought out so that they can be seen
plainly" by the untrained eye.
Having made his examination of the
whole writing, step by step, the; expert
summarizes the results, numbering cop
responding parts and calling attention to
discrepancies or resemblances as they oc-
cur. By this process his conclusions are
made perfectly clear, in all ordinary
eases, to anybody who reads his report.
In exceptional circumstances, such as
court trials, he may go before a jury with-
blitckboard and pencil and show exactly
how a forger wrote a certain letter as
well as the way in which the persons
whose -writing was imitated habitually
formeit. If his deductions are - accu-
rate, the results, presented in this graphic
manner, usually are convincing to all in-
telligent and unprejudiced observers. It
Is !one of the advantages of graphology
that, ordinarily, its conclusions may -be
made as plain as the nose on a man's-
face.—Daniel T. Ames in Ainslee's.

The Rochester Post -Express says that
many years ago Frederick Douglass at-
tended'a "bloomer" convention in Roches-
ter. When some of the women appeared
In bloomers theY were greeted with
shouts of ridicule from a portion of the
a odience bent on making a disturbance.
Atter the principal speaker had address-
ed the audience the president aiked if
any one present wished to speak. Freder-
ick Douglass had been seen to enter and
take a seat, and upon this invitation from
the platform there were cries for "Doug-
lass!" from the disturbing element.
Mr. Douglass rose slowly and with
great deliberation said: "This is a matter
to' which I have paid little attentiOn, as
I have been busy with matters which I
consider more important. I ani not sure
thet I am in favor of the proposed re-
foien in woman's dress, but," pointing to
the men and boys who had been hooting,
"II see that you have the earmarks of a
reform, the shouts of ridicule, satire aid
dOdsion of the lower and baser ele-
ment."
Links.
Today the unconscious imbecile took
the initiative.
"What's the difference between golf
links and the missing link?'" he asked.
Here the lay figure, in behalf of him-
seif and the others, gave it up.
"`The ?atter," exclaimed the uncon-
scious imbecile, with .heaving. bosom,
"goes to 'show that men were once mon-
keas, while the former goes to show they
are monkeys still."
All were shocked, of course, although
they strove to seem. indifferent. —Detroit

The mania for braiding dresses, and,
for that matter, for braiding nearly every
article of wear, is likely to continue.
There will be no end of fancy shirt
waists this autumn to wear with tailor:
made coats and skirts of cloth, tweed or
cheviot.
"Venetian pink" is the name of a new,
peculiar and becoming shade of rose that
appears among tulles, velvets and rib-
bons for collars, bows, rosettes and mil-
linery uses.
Some of the newest shied tunics,
matching the open bodice and sleeves in
fabric, are rounded at the lower edge
and are so short that they look extremely
like the panniers of other days.
The new supple weaves of taffeta silk
, will be in great nee this fall both for
gowns and accessories, to say nothing of
the pretty dotted and striped patterns
and the weaves barred with satin in con-
traCting colors for fancy waists.

TH HONEY HUNTERS.
It is a mistake to let s. colony of bees
be overst eked with drones.
The 110 of a bee depends upon the
work it doers. When it works, its life is
shortened.
Each frame of comb in a hive should
occupy 11/4 inches ot space, taking care
to space with exactness.
A worker grub can be transmuted with
a queen if it is as old as 5 or 6 days, but
generally such Omens are not fully de-
veloped.
At Intervals during the summer, when
the bees cannot gather honey, the queens
quit laying and the strength of the colony
cdrtalled.
A swarth of tees hived lipon a full set
of combs at the opening of the honey sea-
son will fill ther hive full in 'a week,
ready for surplus boxes.
Drones are the male bees. Their use-
fulness extends only to the fertilltation
of queens. If bees are allowed to build
their own comb, there is always an excess
of drone comb. •
To introduce a queen a colony should
be made 4ueenless some three or four
days prior to Introducing the new queen.
The bees 'will take more kindly to her.—
