6 aotceao C BO ii it t Curious .. and Rapid Changes In the Velocity of the Wind. HOLES IN THE ATMOSPHERE. Theso 'Danger Spots, From tho Avla tors' Viewpoint, Aro Born of the Al-, most Instantaneous Variations -In tho' Foreo of ths, Aerial Currents. Since itmn linn provided himself with wlriKH he Iiuh .learned more astonishing tlilng-s nuout tliv ulr tlmu were ilruam ed of in Ills old philosophy. Ue ha lind to leiuri tlieiu in order to mnlce traveling suit- on Ills now uertul high way, The wind was almost a complete mystery until noronmits bewail to mtiUo cloe acquaintance with Its stnuiRe woods and vayurleH. The HUirtliiiK ex ptTleiices of arlatora have stimulated the ntiemoriietrisl. o., , the wind meumirorH -to rivsh Investigations, which have had mtiprtsliig reaulta. Consider. for liiHtnlice. these things which have been found out tiy the Aerotcehule Institute ot the University of Paris: If two aiii'iiionieters (wind measur ers) are placed side by side ubout sev enty-two feet above the ground when n wind of from thirty-three to forty-- eight feet per hceond is blowing the most remarkable differences in the ve locity of the wind are obsemil. If tun unemlimoterx aro only ten Inches apart both usually show nearly tho sank wind velocity, but If the distance be tween them is increased to about thlr ty-two 'Inches one will sometimes show n wind velocity of ten feet per second more rapid than thrtt shown by the other. Hut this difference lasts, only for an Instant. If the distance be twOen the anemometer Is Increased to twenty-three or twnty-fonr feet, the usual length of an aeroplane, the dlf ferenci In Vie velocity of tho wind Bhown by them are occasionally nor nioiis. biit of very brief duration. This must' clearly produce a nicking effect upon un aeroplane, which uiay be ills astrous. for one end of It may for a Beyond, or ho experience u resistance double that felt nt the other end. But this Is by no menus all. Not only does the wind vary In this capricious fashion at places a fow feet or a few yards apart, but It varies with equal VlolenctOnnd suddenness at the same point, ns Is proved by Uxing a single .anemometer at a height of seventy flvo or. eighty -feet nbove the ground and observing the successive changes in' its Indications of velocity Thus It has been fouiid that a wind whose av erage; velocity was about thirty-eight feet'1 'per1 second' maintained that ve locity 'for as much ivs ten successive seconds and then in a second and n half dropped to less than fourteen feet per second, which It maintained during two seconds, after which in tho course .of Ifnlf n second It sprang up to a ve locity of lifr.v feet per second! It main tained the last mentioned velocity for only a single second. In another ease the velocity of the' wind rose In three-quarters of n second from twenty-sis and "one-quarter feet to lifty-seven and one-half feet per sec ond. Considering these facta, It Is no won , dcr .that aviators meet with strange accidents by running Into what they cnlj "holes In the air." for the sustain ing foreo of thi' air, on account of tho BUddu'li variations of the wind, mny almost Instantly lose half its value and then with equal suddenness recover, or .more than recover. Its former power Such things otmlilo any one to under stand the peculiar perils that tho nvln tpr linn to face. Wvon ordinary mortals know that the wind is capricious, but to the nn'vlgator of the ulr It becomes sometime) u very demon. or,n legion of demon, whoso eccentric gambolings are ns uncdntrollnhle as they aro unex pected. It took thousands of years for sea men to loam how to face with un tlluchlng hearts the vagaries of tho ocean waves and currents and for shipbuilders to devise vessels that could defy them, but It eems likely that we In a few decades ahull have mastered the caprices of the atmos phere and have produced airships that will safely ride the wildest wind. It Is the advance of science that has given us the great advantage which we possess over our predecessors in over coming nature's obstacles, but In increase of knowledge would not have served ns If thure hud been decrease of courage.

Hiving lost his wife, married again. 1 he new connection was especially un tortunate for him and his only child. Mildred, who was sixteen years old at as time of her father's second mar riage Mrs. Uorland was no sooner married than she laid a plan to secure inn- husband's fortune. He was suffer ing from an Incurable disease when sue married him, and this enabled her r,i work her plan more easily. Her llrst move was to make the house so unpleasant for her stepdutgh I r that she was forced to leave It and no to live with an aunt This enabled her to have her husband to herself, and as soon ns his dnughter had gone the stepmother began a systematic nagging upon her husband to 'compel Mm to inako a will leaving his proper t v to her. Ilndfdi'. Borland been In good health ho might have , withstood her prod ('lug: but. affected as he was with a lervoiis disease and mnde a virtual prisoner by his wife. It was not long l ofore ho broke down under the strain i' nil signed a will leaving all his pos sessions to her. except some swamp i mds that were nearly worthless. Previous to his marriage Borland had willed everything he owned to Mildred. Mrs. Borland knew of 'this will mill would have forced It from i or husband tlmt she might destroy It. i ut it was in Mildred's keeping The . nly thing that Jezebel could do was in -torture her husband Into making i nother In her own favor. As Mr. Borland grow worso his wife kept ov i ry one from him except his physh Inn ,-t nil un occasional friend, her brother riving as a reason that the Invalid was uot In a condition to see any one. (Oie realised that Mildred's friends n'ter her father's death might advise Iter to try to break the will, but the schemer rolled upon her being able to lit off any proof that any undue In lluence hud been brought to bear on the testator She changed the serv ants frequently In order that they might not get an Inkling of what she was doing. She once a week Intro duced Into the sickroom friends of her husband, but never permitted any of them to remain alone with hint a moment At last Borland died. Ills wife pro duced the will lu' had made In her fn vor and i lawyer tp whom she had paid a large retaining fee stood ready to enforco'lt against any demands that ,mlght be set up by poor Mildred, who had hot n cent In the world to prose cute with and no one to take an In terest in her enso. Soon after her father's death Mil dred asked permission of her stepmoth er to.take away a few belongings sho had left there. She was permitted to do bo, was denied nothing she claim ed nnd went away with a boxful of Mds and ends, among them a few books. On getting them to her home she looked them over tearfully berore putting them away Some of the books she had loved when n child. One of these she tool; up and was reading a familiar passage when she noticed a daub on a word. .Turning tho page, she noticed another daub on another word. A few pages farther was still another. Turning over the leaves, she found the book full of these daubs that hud evidently been made with differ ent substances. Scrutinizing them closely, she found that some of them might have been made with a drop of coffee, some with the Juice of n berry, and on one scT much of tho substance bail been loft that she was able to examine it closely and surmised It to bo potato. Mildred was puzzled. She tried to remember from what room shu had taken It, but could not do so. A sus picion camo to her that theso daubs might mean something. Two words that were daubed "wlfo" and "Will" directed this suspicion. She wrote tho words down lu the order In which they came, hut they were a jumble. If they had been daubed to tell something tho persou who had done the work bad not been able to find consecutive words for tho purpose. Then Mildred cut out tho words sho hud written nnd began trying to ar range them so that they would mean something. Several times she gave up tho puzzle, but always roturned to U. Sho made certain sentences, but found nothing Intelligible for tho whole. Finally she hit upon two words "my" uud "wife" for a beginning which, after many transpositions, solved tho pimstlo. The final rending w"as this: My wlfo Is linMliw mo a prisoner. I run nut cmrminl(Mt with nny one ox cup t bur and hr lirotlior. Elm has forced me la make n will In hr favor.

Mada In Chains In the Balkans una Laundered In China. Oread Is made in different shapes nnd in different ways, according to tb taste of the various nationalities. Mr. L. Lodlun In Forest and Stream says: "Tho bread of tho ISnlkans, curiously made in the form of chains, is sold, from the arms and necks of itinerant pcdlers. In tent life In Balkanta tho detached links are often used for fun ut quoits or serve a more useful pur pose in suspending temporary curtains und awnings Then when tho campers run out of provisions they literally eat their curtain rings! The Japanese bamboo bread, so named from Its shape. Is a somewhat similar product. It is sliced uud sold In strings. "The sun dried breud sheeting of cen tral Asia looks much like chamois leather and Is made up in pieces of bed sheet size. It Is compounded from Hour nnd raisin sirup und is highly es teemed by coffee drinkers. In tho bazaars of the caliphates It Is fre quently seen hanging In plnce of awn ings to shield tho stalls from tho sun. "One of the strangest crackers comes from Russia. It is known as fit the mouth bcgl and. besides being much appreciated as a tcu biscuit. Is quite commonly used by mcrchnnts Ignorant of tho three It's as a makeshift abacus In counting money, u lower string of ten serving for kopecks and nn upper string of the same number represent ing roubles. More plqturcsquc still Is Its usage as an extempore ring for marrying poor peasants with whom the gold Is lacking. "Most singular of all, however, is the peculiar pith bread of China, which, In stead of being baked, is laundered out In narrow strips with n hot Iron, much In the manner that n collar receives Its finishing. It Is mnde from the cen tral tissue of the futsla trees and is valued highly by the citizens of tho 'flowery republic' ns a dainty cracker to cat with their little cups of watery, unsweetened teu." Shown In a Quaint Reason For Not j Delivering a Message. ' An Interview In tho New Vark tiun between one of its reporters and Mr. ' Bedros Keljlk bears humorously on , tho Turkish situation and seems to In dicate that what Is needed Is not in creased political activity, but more at tention to business. As an illustra tion of tho everyday, torpor one of the experiences of Dr. .Rlza Tewflk, mem , bcr of parliament for Adrlunoplc. with a Turkish official may bo cited. Dr. Tewflk was visiting a friend at Undo Ifony, across the Bosporus. About 10 o'clock at night ho heard , tho watchman call, "l'angin vnr, Gain ( tada yangln varl" ("Thero is Ore. there , Is Are in Galhtn!"), the usual alarm 1 given when (Ire, breaks out in any quarter. I It happened that Dr. Tcwflk's own home was In Galatn, and ho rushed to the nearest telegraph office to In quire concerning the safety of bis family. He iecelved no answer to Ills ' telegram, and" his fears were roused. I But as no boats cross the Bosporus at mgui no was oongea to wuic tut morn ing. He got home ut last to And every thing safe. When bo asked why his family bad not answered the telegram ho was told that they had not received any. So. Dr. Tewflk went to the tele graph office and demanded an explana tion. Ono Ostium Agliu. to whom Dr. Tew lik's telegram had been given for de livery, was cnlli.il. "Where Is the elTendl's telegram ?" Osmnu rtglm fumbled In bis pockets and drew forth the message. "Why did you not deliver It?" de manded Dr Tewflk angrily. "Oh. elTendl," unswered tho Imper turbable Osman Agha, who bad evl doutly perused the telegram to his own satisfaction, "It was needless. I knew that your house was not on lire," Try the Unique for a boou squaro meal and sweet bread. tf. V LJ i 4 ILp. Jr. JL kered !
