• urfaee.
Prof. F. II. Bigelow, of the United
State« weather service, presented a
paper before section B of the Amer­
ican Association for the Advancement
of Science recently, outlining his In­
vestigations of atmospheric condi­
tions. The first of these, entitled
“The Structure of Cyclones and Anti-
cyclones," is in truth the continuation
of one given Inst year at the Detroit
meeting of the association. The paper
of last year outlined the mathematical
conditions; the present one gave some
of the results of observation, says the
Boston Transcript.
It appears that In the atmosphere
there are practically three distinct
currents of air, the flrirt lying at an el­
evation of from 900 to 1,500 metres, the
second at from 2,500 to 4,000 metres and
the up|>er one at from 6,000 to 8,000
metres above the surface of the earth.
These are, to an extent, separate
currents, flowing each with its own ve­
locity. At the bottom of each of the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top of each of the layers oc­
cur the cumulus clouds. This sug­
gests that the stratus originate at
the bottom of a moving current and
the cumulus at the top. It is prob­
able, then, that the stratus owe their
origin to the difference in velocity
and temperature of the two layers,
while the cumulus are formed by
ascending currents within the layer
of air.

A naral officer who fa within two
or three number» of hia neat grade
made the assertion a year ago tftinit
he wn not going to get a new full-
drea» uniform until he got lii» step,
anil because of thU determination he
suffered greatly whenever it wa» neo-
ewutry for him to get into hia dress
clothe», any» the New York Sun. Since
hi» dre»» uniform had been made he
bad grown very much stouter, and it
wa» with difficulty that he could get
into it. On the occasion» when he wen
forced to wear It he moved slow ly am!
cautiously, fearing all the time he
might sneeze and burst his coat. This
officer returned after two months'
aerrice in the tropica, aud to a friend
who naked him about hl» forthcoming
promotion be said: "It will please me
when it come», but I'm not worrying
for it a» I did six months ngo. 1 was
then too »tout for my dress uniform,
and. as 1 had vowed not to get another
until I had been promoted, I was in
agony every time I was forced to wear
it. I'm all right now. My uniform fit»
me perfectly, and I'm only worrying
now ftor fear that when I go back
south again I may get too small for it.
That climate down there is the very
best I know of for people who want to
reduce weight, and when you add to
the climate necessity for constant
watchfulness it make» a combination
bard to beat.”

The statement that a chimney, the
third or fourth tallest in the world, has
just been completed at a cost of $53,000,
and the announcement that the most
I gratify ing success has Attend« <1 the use
of force draught, without nny chimneys
whataver out of the ordinury . appt ar in
contemporary journals. The experi­
ment of forced draught gives promise
of great economy in fuel, as well as do­
ing away with the expensive and unor-
namental chimney. The draught ar­
rangement consists of a large fan,
which is connected with a four by four
double cylinder engine. The fun ha*
a wl.n I 54 inches in diameter and runs
at almost ony rule of speed desired.
I he draught is something prodigious
and makes it possible to employ fuel
of a lower grade than any Ireretofore
used. Instead of the best Cumberland
coal, a mixture of Cumberland and
screenings has been tried. The cost of
operating the fan, even with imja rfect
apparatus, Is something like 1*00 per
annum. The smokestack is scarcely
taller than the roof of the building, and
of less capacity than heretofore used
for such purposes. N. V. Ledger.

A MAIN CHANCE OF LIFE
In the English Illustrated Magazine,
Mr. J. Holt Schooling works out some
interesting results as regards the
chances of males at ages 20, 30, 40, 50,
60, 70, 80 and 90, living for ten years
more, 20 years more, 30 years more,
etc. For example, as regard« 1,000
men age<l 20, 939 of them “live ten
years more," i. e., 1o age 30; that is
.14 per cent, live to age 30 and six per
cent, do not, so the chance at age 20
to live to age 30 is not quite sixteen to
one in favor of living. Similarly, 559
out of 1,000 ‘‘live 40 years more,” i. e.,
to age 60, so that the odds in favor of
20 living to age 60 are 65
a man aged
1
to 44, say five to four, in sporting
phrase. Again, as only ten out of the
1,000 live 70 years more, i. e., to age 90,
the chance of a man aged 20 attaining
age 90 is only one in one hundred, or
odds of ninety-nine to one against him.
As to the chances for men aged 50,
770 per 1,000 live ten years more, i. e.,
to age 60; therefore, we may say the
chance of a man aged 50 living to 60
is represented t>y odds of 77 to 23, or
about seven to two in favor of the man
aged 50 living ten years more. This
chance, favorable as it is, is of course
not nearly so great as the sixteen to
one chance in favor of a man aged 20
living to age 30. Glancing at men aged
70 we see that only 335 per 1,000 live ten
years more, i. e., to age 80; this means
that 34 per 100 live the ten years and
66 per 100 do not, so the chance at age
70 of a man living to age 80 is repre­
sented by the odds of two to one
against him. As for men aged 90, of
1,000 men alive at age 90, only four live
to age 100. Thus at age 90. the chance
of living ten years is very small, it
being represented by the long odds of
two hundred and forty-nine to one
against the mun—quite an outside
chance.

"Gallant little Wales." says the Lan­
don Chronicle, "ia putting forward a
claim for representation in the royal
coat-of-arms. us well as for inclusion
in the union jack. With this object
a provisional committee has drawn up
a memorial to the queen, pray ing that
the fourth quarter of the royal shield
which, as they very truly say, is prac­
tically unfilled, since it is a repetition
of the first quarter—be devoted to in­
signia for Wales. The claims of the
principality to heraldic recognition are
not to be disputed. It is the only na­
tionality in Europe that has no distinct­
ive blazon to exhibit to the world,
although its history is associated with I
more than one symbol."

vice.
Whether it i» juatifiefi cr no*, th« int-
preerion is a ide.ptead that the presi­
dent is planning to exempt, by execu
tive order a large claa. of place, from
the operation, of the civil service act.
Chairman Babcock, of the republican
congressional committee, is credited with
being the chief agent ol the waiting
Spoilsmen; and the story ia that ba
bold* th. president'» promme '.bat al th*
first favorable op|>ortunity the thing
will I* done. Iu Usw public mind, .pe-
cial .igniflance attaches to this goesip
because of our new foteign relatione, it
being a common ae-umption that the
president is arranging to fix the mer­
cenary element of his party in control of
.colonial executive service to t>e organ­
ized lor the administration of the .Span­
ish island».
So.far a» this special charge is con­
cerned, too much credit tuay easily be
given to mere speculative talk. It is
hardlv poeaibie, within the period of Mr.
McKinley’s official term, that the ad­
ministration of the Spanish countries
which have come to us can be other
than military in character, and at the
hand» of officers of the army. All the
curient landmciea—including the goesip
above referred to, aa well a» the fine
service rendered by General» Wood at
Santiage and Grant at San Jaun— com­
bine with all the fundamental condi­
tions in rendering and enforcing a mili­
tary ayetern for a considerable time to
come. Furthermore, the president will
tie only a factor in oar dealing with the
islands. The American people will have
to be consult?d before a foreign service
shall become a fixed thing; and we very

year-old girl who frequently makes her
parents laugh. On ths evening of Easter
Sunday she was seated with her father
in the window seat when he called her
attention to the Great Dipper in the
northern heavens, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
”1 know all about that," cried little
Bernice, clapping her hands. "That's
the dipper that ths angels boil their
Easter egg* in.”
On anol her occasion, being repri­
manded by her mother for some trifling
fault, she declared, by way of defense:
”T*4{ *<nd if the world wa» to crack
open, mamma would say it was my
fault.”
She is quite a singer, and her rendi­
tion of popular songs often excites mer­
riment. Thus:
