Reasons Why
When the winds blow in Nebraska, did
you aver think of the why and wherefore?
if ed, .did Vou conclude it waa simply a
game OX hide and. seek between particles
seeking to dodge each other? ' Probably
not. '.
The astronomer royal of England, who
has completed his report for the fiscal year
endjjic-. May.' JO, telle some very Interesting
thyen about the varying densities, altitudes
iWl Vrripsratures of 'the air cushions, air
pokHs and air currents surrounding the
earth.
In reference to air currents and the rea
sons why the wind blows, the report ex
plains that air consists of gaseous par
ticles, all trying to get amay from one
another, and that, under certain conditions,
they ran be compelled to come closer to
gether by contraction, or forced to fly
fvuiher apart by expansion. A quart
T-ittle, for example, holds twenty-two
I rains of air at the temperjture of TO de
itrees. If the bottle be cooled by surround
vtig It with Ice, the air Inside contracts.
When this occurs more air rushes In
through the bottle's neck. The quart of air
now weighs more than twenty-two grains.
ne Dome De neaieu, tne atr 11 contains
expands, Its tiny particles fly further
asunder, and many of them escape from
the bottle altogether. There Is still a quart
of air, but it weighs much les thun the
original twenty-two grains.
Now, consider the earth and the sea un
der the Influence of varying degrees of the
sun's heat. Wh-re the heat Is greatest, the
air Is made lighter and expands. Where
the hsat Is least, the air is unexpanded and
heavy. Both the hot and the cold air have
weight, but the cold, being the heavier, is
drawn more effectively down to the groutsl.
In doing so It drives the lighter air up out
of Its way, just as a lump of lead dropped
Into a pall of vater forces some of the
water upward. If the earth were equally
warm at every part, and continued at a
constant temperature, wind could not exist.
It "blows" because of heat and gravitation.

the unemotional and simple nature of her
tluck-haired sister.
"As to whether temperament Is physical
or mental,' or neither, probably no two
authorities are fully an reed. Dr. Jones
has pointed out that temperament may
he divided Into four clauses. In
order to fancifully delineate them they
have been considered analogus to the ages
nf man and to the seasons of the year.
Tho sanguine type, for Instance, corre
sponds to childhood ami spring-, the bilious
type to youth and summer, the melsncholy
to middle age and autumn, and the phleg
matic type to old age and winter.
With these four types as a hauls to work
en, A. Stewart and others who have writ
ten on the subject of the correlation of
the four chief types hav.u classified them
as follows:
Tho sanguine type, consisting of .persons
who are short and often stout In later' life,
who have fair complexions, blue eyes and
red hair, mentally active, emotional and
excitable, but larking In persistence and
steadiness and showing a tendency to
acute illness.
The bilious or choleric type, those who
are thick-set, rather clumsy folk, with
dark eyes, hair and complexions, people
who are often, gouty or rheumatic, and
who are mentally unemotional, deliberate
and Jealous.
The nervous, sometimes melancholy,
type, which Is made tip principally of
alight, slim, tall figures, large foreheads
and pointed chins, dark eyes and sallow
skin; those who think quickly; react rap
Idly, are susceptible, but easily get over
their emotions. These tend to suffer from
nerve storms, not Infrequently ending In
Insanity.
And lastly. the phlegmatic type, people
with bulky forms, light hair, paaty com
plexions, slow movements, mentally
"heavy on hand," slow and plodding, a
type which tends to dementia and diseases
i of a slow course.

In other words, air moves from the place
where Its weight or pressure Is most, to
ward the place where Its weight or pressure
Is least. .

Bomo of your comments make me feel as
If I'd been unexpectedly plunged Into a
cold bath. But I have not failed to re
ceive the benefit that goes with the bath.
Will you be good enough to vivisect the
vanity of the girl whose arms arc forever

who go to the theater and fuss with their

I should advocate the use of the spear, too.
But I shall most gratefully welcome the
vigorous attack of your pen If you are too
busy to undertake the spear campaign.

than an Inanimate sldecotnb or barette can
afford.
I don't blame the writer of this letter
for protesting. It's pretty annoying to pay
$2 to see a play and see a girl's arms. A
man might sueeie a little comfort out of
them, even If the surroundings are not the
most desirable. But what woman wants to
pay it to gaze on the arms of another
woman?
It might be that the continuous perform

Many Strange Animals in the World
The only known quadruped which pre
sents anything like those splendid metallic
reflections which adorn so many birds,
fishes and insects, is a subterraneous ani
mal, whose mode of Ute Is similar to that
of the moles, but It Is srnaller in size. Its
fur is of green, changing to copper or
bronze, and this creature has amazingly
powerful forefeet. To enable them to dig
the better, .the forearm Is supported by a
thick bone. It inhabits Africa. The eyes
of this quadruped are not perceptible.
The urchin is a strange creature, and It
Is an Interestliit, fact that it eats hundreds
of cantharldes without experiencing any HI
effect, whereas a single one produces horri
ble agony In a dog or cat.
The raccoon, the most of whuM exterior
Is that of a beur In miniature, Is remark
able for a singular Instinct of eating noth
ing that It has not previously dipped in
water.
One of the handsomest of known quad
rupeds la the panda, found among the
mountains of th north of India. Its fur
Is of the richest cinnamon red above, and
deep black beneath. It frequents the
vicinity of rivers and mountain torrents,
passes much of Its time upon trees and
feeds on birds and the smaller animals
The soles of Its feet are hairy.
It Is a cuilous fact that the female pole
cat has often been known to stow away
1 many frogs and toads in an apartment of
Its burrow, disabling each, without killing
It, by puncturing the skull. This animal
Is so agile that it will spring from the
ground upon a partridge flying near the
surface.
The rape otter Is remarkable at least at
a particular age for having no nails.
There is a singular animal in South
Africa an inhabitant of caverns which
gains a psrt of Its subsistence by attacking
the massive, fatty protuberance on the tails
of the African sheep. It has a nane like
the hyena, and is very remarkable in Its
coloring.
The hoodcap a M-a animal, found in 4ho
Arctic ocean has a louse skin upon Its
head, which can .be Inflated Into, a sort of
cowl, and Is drawn or the ees when llie
creature Is menaced, at which time the

of the arms becomes a chorus performance,
for both arms get busy!
Really, writer of this letter, I know
of no way to cure the idiotic, selfish
habit, unless you put pins under the arms.
But that might only aggravate the diffi
culty. The girl with the arms would keep
them up. And, of course, much as you
might wish It, you cannot ask the usher
to Insist upon the girl removing her phy
sical members as she would an ofcstruclng
hat. An armless girl seems to be the only
solution of your trouble, unless it's almost
too good to be true, but there are those
who believe that tho good things are the
true things unless these few remarks may
attract the active-armed girl to a contem
plation of her selfishness and Induce her to
reform!
The upper Incisors of another animal of
this genus have a double cutting edge a

other animal.
The young of the common opossum at

f Danger on the Farm II
Farm life peaceful, bucolic, far from the
inmimtvable dangers of the city has al
ways been considered safe. But If has
been ascertained In Germany, says Busi
ness, that agriculture suffers far more
from accidents than any other occupation.
Of the total number of mishaps resulting;
in temporary disability, 4ii per cent occur
In agriculture, 9 each In Iron and steel
trades and In building operations, and 8,4
per cent In mining.
It Is explained that It Is natural that
the agricultural laborer should be espec
ially subject to accident, for he has to
handle teams, machinery and explosives,
nnd Is too much a Jack-of-all-trades to be
skilled In any one. Modern methods also
Increase the risk of the occupation. ' for
Canadian records show that the percentage
of deaths Increased steadily from 11 per
cent In 1904 to 20 per cent In M09, while
in mlnlnr there had been much flucuatlon,
but apparently no permanent Increase,
The larger number of farm accidents oc
cur on Saturdsys, which Is generally ex
plained by the fatigue of the week telling
on the men, but It Is noted also that the
Monday accidents are almost as numerous.
This gives rise to the suggestion that the
day of rest sometimes Is not too wisely
spent.
