OUR BELT ‘OF ATMOSPHERE. In Thickness It Is to the Earth as the Skin ls to the Apple. In a contribution to the year book ; of the department of agriculture Ros. ! coe Nunn of the United States weather } bureau compares the thickuess of the } q atmospheric envelope that surrounds e the earth with the diameter of the ] earth ltself. The extreme limit of the earth's at. mosphere above the surfauce of the earth s estimated to be 180 mlles. The earth’s diameter {s approximately 8,000 miles. Rut the density of the atmos- phere decreases rapldly as altitude in. creases, so that three-quarters of the mass of the atmosphere lles below the seven mile level Thus the solid earth has but a thin coating of alr, at most ounly about one- 3 fortleth s thick as the dlameter of the 4 earth, or if we consider only its really o appreciable extent, whichi Is about for- &y miles above the earth, only one two- hundredth as thick as the dlameter of g the earth. It Is therefore a mere coating. not thicker, relatively speak- {ng. than the skin on an apple of or- dinary size. \When we consider the fact that storms operate only in that part of the atmosphere which lles within about seven mlles of the earth, and chlefly within three mlles, it is truly wonderful what mighty forces they generate and what vast energy they expend within that thin film of gas. A storm condition may cover one- third of the United States. The dls- turbance may be 1,000 to 1,500 miles in dlameter, but less than seven miles thick. In other words, the body of alr In which those tremendous forces work is of about the same proportions as a postcard. NO ARCTIC WARRIOR. As Hunters the Natives Are Wonders, but Cannot Make Soldiers. Battle history halts at the arctic cir- cle. Beyond that buman life is so aif- ficult to sustaln that its willful waste 1s unthinkable. Natlons with a foot- hold in the lcy narth recrult no armies in that frigid zone. Indeed, the men ¥ are of such weager stature and intel- VF lect that a milltary training s next to impossible. The real natives of the arctic can endure hunger and fatigue, can march in their own fashion through hurri- cane and blizzard, but their value is rather to the explorer of the inhos- pitable north than to the soldler. As hunters they are wonderfully clever, yet they are curiously formal in ad- ministering the coup de grace. They will apologize to the fierce white bear which they have cornered before advancing to a close attack wi * tipped arrows and spears, a " b the odds seem decisively he man. They are th uolb +uds In wny sense, and few spor cn would risk their H lives against bear and wolf and wal rus protected only by futile weapons and their own personal dexterity. | The Lapps and Samoyeds of arctic { Russia, like the Eskimos of North America and Greenland, are so often compelled in times of dearth and famine to sacrifice their aged weak- lings that this form of death has be- come a vague religious and soclal prin- ciple with them.

HUFFMAN & O'LEARY TI"E ”0![ 0F 600D FU{\NITUF" POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT | (Authorized and placed by Charles S. Carter. Amount paid for series $20.00). I am a candidate for Representa- tive from the 62nd district, and re- spectfully solicit your support at the election, Nov. 7, 1916. I might make numerous promises as to what I will do if elected, but quantity promrses are made largely to guin votes, and are soon forgotten after election. Therefore, the prom- fses I have to make are few in num- ber, but these few will be religiously kept, if T am elected. I do promise, if elected, that I shali perform the duties of Representative to the State Legislature purely in the interest of the people, irrespective of party consideration or political ex- pediency. I am opposed to tie further issuing of ditch bonds in this district until the present judicial ditch law s amended so that ditches will be con- structed only where the quality of the soll, prospective settlement and gen- eral conditions warrant same. 1 believe the operation of the pres- ent judiclal ditch law to be excessive- ly costly and that the homes and property of our citizens, which are pledged for the payment of the in- terest and principal of sald bonds, have been jeopardized by the enor- mous lssue of boads, and the high rate of interest pald therefore. T will do all T can to secure legls- lation to relieve the county from any possible future payment of sald ditch loans, My politicsa are Republican, but under the law I am compelled to make the race as a Non-partisan. I prom- lse also, that every citizen, regard- less of his political belief will re- celve the same degree of courtesy and attention, and that special privil- egos will be extended to none.

NEWS ARMY AND NOTRE DAME WILL AGAIN BATTLE By HAMILTON (United Pross Staff Correspondent) New York, Nov. 3.—Elmer Ol- phant, that enterprising young man who 8 learning how to be a United States army officer as a side line to his football studies, will be swathed in the calcium again tomorrow after- noon when the Army “tank” is turned loose against the roaring fresh west- erners from Indiana, Notre Dame. The South Bend school is going all the way to West Point to try to bat- East. Carnegle Tech at West West. Army and he majority of crities ex- pect they will do it, Oliphant or no Oliphant, That s the East's only big game. All the rest of the important schools of this section will be taking on op- ponents who should prove compara- tively easy. Dartmouth alone has a hard job on her hands, and there is everything to indicate another dent will be put in the Green's chances when it is catapulted against the heavy Byracuse footballists. The game will be played at Springfleld. Princeton will have Bucknell for practice, Harvard will battle Vir- ginia and Yale will take on Colgate, not a practice game by any means, but one which should be won by Yale. Cornell will get Carnegie Tech, the team which was battered by Yale.
