STUDYING THE UPPER AIR Experiments by Meteorologists termlne Atmospheric t'ondltl been to De Ions at Mlara Altitudes. Attention ha recently been directed to an extensive series of experiments con ducted at various spots on the surface of the earth to determine by means of high flying kites and so-called sounding bal loons, the conditions of our atmosphere at different distance from the earth. These experiments may mean the beginning of co-operation between meteorologists in every part of the world In investigating not only the stratum of air that blow over the lowlands and sweep around the high mountains, but the layers of atmosphere, equally important to our comfort, which dwindle out Into the "ether." Observing at high altitudes Is not abso lutely a new Idea, but within recent years records have been obtained at heights which not long ago would have been Judged practically impossible. Aided by a Hodgklns grant from the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. A. Lawrence Rotch, director of the Blue Hill Meteoro logical observatory. Just outside of Boston, by means of sounding balloons, haa several times aecured records of temperature, pres sure and air currents ten miles away from the earth. Other investigators at Mount Weather, Bluemont, Va., have succeeded In obtaining similar records at equally high altitudes and the results obtained may furnish data valuable In dally weather fore casting. In fact, the observation of air current at higher altitudes may soon be considered vitally necessary In correct weather predictions. The history of attempts to Invade this atmospheric realm at a gerat distance from the earth Is Interesting. BOGUS BILL FOR KINDNESS Worthless Fifty Dollars Held by Woihan Who Makes Change. FEMALE CROOK GETS AWAY t Bays (ioods In Store and Spectator Offers to t'hanare Fifty When the Clerk In t nable to Do o. A woman went Into a grocery store at Twenty-ninth and Cuming streets the other day, ordered a Binall bill of grocoriea and offered a 150 bill that looked good in pay ment therefor. A girl, In temporary charge of the store, could not make the change and directed the purchaser to a nearby drug store where she might get the bill ctyinged. The woman was about to go when Mis Clara Chase, 1018 North Twcn-ty-nlnth street, who happened to be In the store, volunteered to change the (50 bill as a matter of accommodation. The stranpo woman was very grateful and transferred tho bill to Miss Chase or good coin of the realm and went away with her purchases. The bill looked a little Busplclous, but being of the People's National bank of Helena, Mont., and the strange woman as suring Miss Chase It waa good, Miss Chase accepted it as such. Miss Chase subsequently undertook to as certain the genuineness of the bill and found it was of the wildcat species, and consequently she la to0 wiser In experience Aid of Police Invoked. The aid of the police department was In voked to apprehend the strange woman but ahe had dropped completely out of sight. As the bill was not a counterfeit, but simply an obsolete bill, It does not come under th counterfeiting laws and Miss Chase will have to endure her loss In patience.

BEATRICE The news of the death of Watson Plckrell, a former resident of Beatrice, which occurred In a hospital In Omaha Friday mornln. was rece'ved with profound sorrow by his manv friends In Beatrice. Thirty vears ago Mr. Plckrell, In oompanv with hla brother. William, set tled on a farm east of the town of Plrkrell. which was named after him. and engaged extensively in the sheo business. Later Mr. Ptckrell drifted Into politics, and as the friend of the late Senator Paddock he secured a fine position in the animal Dr. Lawrence Rotch not long ago wrote for the Smithsonian institution the story of high altitude Investigations in this coun try. In speaking of researches Into the upper air subsequent to those of Wilson and Franklin, he says: "About 1837 there existed In Philadelphia an organisation called the Franklin Kite club that flew kites for recreation. Espy, the eminent meteorologist, was a member, and he state that on those days when columnar cloud form rapidly and numer ously, th kite wa frequently carried up ward almost perpendicularly by columns of ascending air, a phenomenon which is often observed today. Espy calculated the height at which clouds should form by the cooling of the air to Its dew point, and then employed kites to verify his calcu latlona of the heights of the clouds. Both these methods are utilized In the measure ments of cloud heights at Blue Hill. "Kites were employed to get tempera tures of 100 feet or more above the Arctic ocean early In the nintecnth century, and In 1847 Mr. W. R. Blrt of the Kew observ atory In England flew a kite for the pur pose of measuring temperature, humidity, wind velocity, etc. In 1881 Mr. Douglas Archibald in 'England revived the use of kites for meteorological observations and outlined a comprehensive scheme of ex ploring the air with kites, which included almost all that has been done since." Dr. Rotch has this year traveled In Europe, studying the methods and results of foreign meteorologists. In October, hoa-ever, he proposes making further re searches, assisted by his first hand knowl edge of what others are doing along the same line. Since the study of meteorology aa an or ganised science in this country was prac tically originated by the Smlthsontsn In stitution through Its first secretary, Prof. Joseph Henry, it haa been the policy cf the institution to encourage researchea In this direction. The present secretary, Charlea D. Walcott. has Just signed a further grant from the Hodgklns fund to aid In the continuance of Dr. Rotch'a In vestigations.

Taking; Care of a Piano. A piano Is a delicate Instrument too delicate to be subjected to any and every sort of misuse which It undergoes In many households. If comparatively new, do not make the common mistake of keeping it closed all the time when not In use. . as this will hasten the discoloring of the keys. v Particularly to be avoided are extremes of heat and cold, as well as dampnexs. The piano should never be near a steam radiator, hot air register or healer of any sort, nor should It be placed against the outside wall of the house. It will need dUMtlng twice a day. If In a city house; for this use an old, soft silk rag, rubbing over the smooth, polished surface only in one direction, and with absolutely no pressure. Rubbing the keys with a piece of muslin dipped in alcohol will keep them clean. Frequent tuning of I he piano la necessary If it stands In a draft. The music room should have preferably a hardwood floor, with few rugs, and as free from thick draperies and upholstery as practicable, for these absorb the sound. There Is no general rule for placing a piano In a room. Different locations must be tried until the MAGICAL CITY OF GARY Progress of the Steel Trust's Indna. trial flly at the Foot of Lake Mlchlann. It I authoritatively announced that th United State Steel corporation will Invest, additionally, $4000,000 In the city of Gary. To those who do not know that Gary I a creation of that great steel corporation, designed as a home for an immense steel producing plant, tho foregoing sentence 1 not Intelligible. This city, which is a consequenco of these works. Is built on a large tra-t of land, on the shore of Lako Michigan, in Indiana, across tho lake from the city of Chicago. In the works men by the tens of thousands are to be em ployed. The city Is Intended to accommodate a population of 800,000. Without Its building there would not be sufficient accommoda tions for the men employed In the works and for their families. So, with the wave of a wand, the magic of which Is abundant capital, a great city is brought Into being. Work was begun two years ago. Today what was then nn arid sand plain bears a large city. Broadway, the chief thorough fare, has been constructed In Its length of three miles. For two miles It now lins pavements and sidewalks of concrete," and., for that distance Is lined by blocks of busi ness buildings ready for -tho dealers. By October 1, a sulllcU nt number of hous. a will be completed In the residence district to shelter 60,000 people. The sewage," gas, electric and water systems are ready fur use. And now, at this Btago of develop ment, the corporation finds that if uiusl appropriate $45.XXO0O more than Its first In vestment of $70,0n0.000, to be used In widen ing the scope of Its Steel plant. There arc other communities of a popula tion of 300,000 and larger, 4ndoed. But all of them are of natural growth and de velopment. Never before In the history of city building has a city, even approaching this population, sprung Into existence, as It were, over night, as has Gary. When It begins Its municipal life, It will do sn on equal terms, In all Its equipment, with those which have taken a hundred years In which to grow. It Is, Indeed, the marvtl of tho day. It seems to be customary to call this a model city. In the term Is suggested that new and advanced theories of sociology will be applied. There have been such cities builded, and lullma:i Is a notable Instance. Success has not uttendod them. There I no Intention on thu part of the Steel Cor poration to make the city of Gary a model city in that sense. It will have a charter as other cities have. A inunlclpol govern ment will be establiahed as In other cities. It will have Its own self-government, and It must work out Its own destiny, as other cities have as Steelton, In Pennsylvania, . the home of the Pennsylvania Steel works, which it resembles except In size, lias done. A few years ago the mayor of Steelton was a roller man In the worka. A majority of, the directors of the various bunks vi re employes of the mills. The property of thu city was, in the main, possessed by the employes. And they were all Inde pendent of the steel works. These condition! yel obtain. The expectancy of tho great steel corporation Is that almjjar condition will obtain In Gary. Thut corporation, wanted great works at that point. Its ten of thousands Lhal would be employed ni'ist be. housed, with their families. Hence the city of Gary. The corporation gives to It a fair start, and will sell Its residential and commerolul property willingly to those who will buy. It doea not intend to aa sume paternalism.
