WEATHER WHYS.' A red sunset s haled wUh' delight ty people who are going to take a holiday the next day, But the reason why a red unset Should Indicate fins, weather the next day la probably considered by few. It is very simple. Watery vapor In the air affects the refraction of the light, and where there is a large amount present Jt largely . outs off the fed rays, rhejp. therefore, the red rays are freely traas mltted the amount of moisture does not approach the rain point, and therefore the chances are strong that ths weather will be fine during the next ii hours. When the barometer falls sharply we all expect a gale, The barometer falls because at that time It is under ' the trough pt a big atmospheric wave. There fore the pressure upon it and us is le$s than usual. The ordinary-, pressure of the atmosphere Is 14 pounds to the square Inch. If the barometer falls an inch,' that means 71 pounds less pressure on every square foot ' of surface. , When pressure is decreased so. much as this, and raptaiy into the bargain, the, sur rounding air rushes Inward to till op the vacancy thus created, and a gals re sults. ... .,.

New York Sun; Crisis In Co-Education. " , president Edmund J.

"not only has leased to make , new con verta. out there are ; ladloatlons that H is losing ground In the territory it had won." The propor tion of women to men in the Northwest. trn and other universities Is tncreaslng. and with this increase the curriculum has been modified to suit the tastes of fe- piare Students. More attention Is being given to literature, music aud elementary kcloncea, , te Ojis neglect of. econumla. teohnicat and advanced sciehtlna sub jects in, Which men are chiefly interested; president James adds that "the broad dlffertnoes in the future careers of the two , sexes should find a more adequate recognition in, the college curricula." This pbjeotloa to eo-educatlon seems te strike at the' root of tho problem, The equca. lion of women has proceeded on the as gumption that there was In the future to be ho difference In the careers of ths sexss. , The woman law student would read the same law books as the male student, and, la practice, familiarise her self With the same statutes. So With the woman, physician,' the woman scientist. or whatever department ot Intellectual labor the woman might enter, if women students, as a rule, do not like to tot low ths same lines of study that have been accepted by men as .ths best adapt ed to. sucoesful practice in, the several professions, they will for ages be unable to $op with their male associates. . If, as President lames says, college studies hail i. been modified to meet feminine tastes or capacity, a reason is given why the sexes should be educated aoart. The Philadelphia Press fairly defines the scops-! and purpose of the movement against eo-educatlon in the following par agraph: "The present opposition to co-education does not take the form of denying to women a college education. It is simply an sxpression of an opinion that women ars out of place at a man's college. And the Strongest expressions of this opin ion come from' the men undergraduates themselves; There are heard from near ly every college and university that haa established co-education." San Francisco Bulletin. British Commercial Union. The suggestion of a.sollvereln or .com mercial, union to include Great Britain. Canada, Australia and other British col onies Is meeting with considerable favor In Canada. The stress of condltons in Whloh British manufacturers find them selves, through the competition of the United States and Germany, has caused British journals to give more considers tlon to -the subject than they were dis posed to give it some years ago. The principle upon which British commercial Union is proposed is the opposite to that upon, which .American Industries rest. A British soUvereln virtually . denies to the colonies an industrial future apart from the production of raw material. , The United JClngdom wUl do the manufactur ing tor the colonies, whfle tthe colonies will devote, their attention to- art increase in the production of foodstuffs, Which may in time render the mother country Independent of ' other ' food-producing countries. The English objection to this form of ' commercial union was Hirged mainly, on the ground that it would In volve an abandonment of the English pol icy of free trade. The only way by whloh the colonies could be given a preference in the British market would bo by sub jecting bfeadstuffs from all other coun tries to duties. But the adoption .of such policy . would kill manufacturing in dustries already established In both Can ada and Australia. While for a time the protective policy In the United States had the effect to make the South and West producers ot raw materials, which New England converted into finished goods, ths door was always 'open to ths establishment of factories in all parts of ths Union. At present, while certain states are; more especially than others, the seat of manufacture ths only pro tection they enjoy against agricultural states IS in the cost of transportation, It a question If a British commercial union can be built up on this principle. The cost ot transportation would not cor er' the difference . between , the cost of manufacturing in the mother country and In the colonies. At ths present time both Canada and Australia protect their man ufacturlng industries . sgalnst the Indus- tries of the' mother country, though Can ada hab tried te favor England by pref erential duties.
