Wfcy It Is Uort Healthful TlMm Thmi of Lower Altitude. The only reason why mountain air Is healthier than low air is that moun tain air Is cleaner than low air. The chemical composition of the" atmos phere differs but little. If at all, wher ever the sample be taken. On Pike's peak the relation of oxygen to nitro gen and other constituents of the at mosphere Is the same as at the level of the ocean.' The favorable effects therefore of a change of air are not to be explained by any difference in the proportion or its gaseous constituents, One important difference, however, is the bacteriological one. The air of high altitudes contains no microbes and Is, in fact, sterile,, while near the ground and some 100 feet above It microbes are abundant. In the air of Chicago and other crowded places, not only does the mi crobe Impurity Increase, but other Im purities, such aa the products of com bustion of coaL accrue also. Several investigators have found traces of hy drogen and certain hydrocarbons In the air, and especially in the ah of pine. oak and birch forests. It is to those bodies, doubtless consisting of traces of essential oils, to which the curative effects of certain- health resorts are ascribed. Thus the locality of a: fir forest is said, to give relief in diseases of the respiratory tract But all the same, these traces of essential oils and aromatic products must be counted. strictly speaking, as impurities since they are not apparently necessary con stltuents of the air. As recent analy ses have shown, these bodies tend to disappear In the. air as a higher alti tude ,13 reached ' until they disappear 8ltogether.--L(oul3VllIe Dispatch. ": .. Poors In CMnm.

PASSION PLAY REALISTIC Tao Effect of tho Acting rpo Oao . v Womaa'a Korvea. In The Woman's Home Companion Lilian Bell writes of lief experiences fit Oberammergau and ".of the Impres sions made upon her by the. great Christ drama. She concludes with these vivid words: "As to the play Itself, 1, wish I need say nothing about it ' My mind, my heart, my soul, have all been wrench ed and twisted with such emotion as Is not pleasant to feel nor expedient to speak about It was too real, too heartrending,- too awful. . I hate, I abhor, myself for feeling things so acutely. I wish I were a skeptic, a scoffer, an atheist. I wish I could put my mind, on the mechanism, of the play. I wish I could believe that It all took place 2,000 years' 4go. -1 wish I, didn't know that this' puttering on the stage was all actual.;- I wish I thought these people were really Tyro lese peasants wood ' carvers , and pot ters and that all this agony was only a, play. I hate the women who are weeping all around me.? ; I hate the men wrho are letting - thv tears run down their cheeks and whose shoul ders are heaving with their sobs. It Is so awful to see a man cry I "But, no; it is all true,? It Is taking place now. I am one of the women at the foot of the cross The anguish, the cries, the sobs, are all real. They pierce my, heart The .cross, with Its piteous burden, is outlined against the real sky. The green , hill beyond is Calvary. Doves flutter In and out, and butterflies dart across the shafts of sunlight The expression on Christ's face is one of anguish, forgiveness and pity unspeakable. Then his head drops forward on his breast It. grows dark, the weeping becomes lamentation, and as they approach to "-thrust the spear Into his side, from which, have been told, the blood and water really may be seen topour forth, I turn faint and Sick and doso- iny.yeM ha goa too far. I am no longer myself, but a disorganized : heap of, racked nerves and hysterical Weeping," and not even the descent from the cross,: the rising from the dead orhe triumphant ascen sion can console me or restore my bal ance. The Passion play but once in a lifetime." ' A JocIfy' Sensation When Riding;, "If you' ride with your head down that is to say, bent slightly, so that the wind does not beat, right on to y&ur face you can breathe easily, but if yon bold your mouth wide open and let the air beat right in your face then you Will have great difficulty in breathing. and if the race Is a long one you will become exhausted by . the end of the ride." So said a well known jockey when ' questioned on the subject Of -what.nls sensations were .when riding In a race. , .4 - - , , ; - "A mile race on a good horse ts run tn about 1 minute and 40 seconds.. A mile in 1 minute and 40 seconds is at the rate of 30 miles an hour, so, yon see, a race horse travels at train speed. 'If you want to know how it feels to go through the air. at race horse speed, just hang your bead out of a railway carriage window, turning your face to ward the way the train ,1s traveling. At he same time Imagine that you are sitting in a saddle and have to hold on to your horse and guide him on to vic tory If possible, keeping him from be ing run down or Interfered with. .' ; "It Is no easy task to ride a horse In a race, v The jockey must have - all his wits about him. He; does not have much time to think how he feels. When riding In a neck, and neck race down the home stretch. I forget everything except that I must strain every nerve to pass the other horses.

The reported consummation of tbe long mooted lum ber trust deal, to be financed by August Belmonf & Sons, pi New York, with tre mendous capital, caused surprise here to day. Capt. John L. Roper, one of the largest lumbermen of the south, "dis credits the story, but fromthw represen tative of another firm interested in the combine such specific information is had as to show that the deal has progressed very far. f The combine will be the greatest of the kind ever projected. The j 20,000,000 at which it is proposed to capitalise the trust will purchase all the more impor tant mills of the Atlantic coast pine belt. These mills are scattered through the sec tion of North and South Carolina and Virginia, from Norfolk to' Georgetown, 8. C. They all own large timber tracts, and nearlv all own their loeirinjr rail roads, tapping tbe nearby forests. The trust will thus acquire some 4,000,000, OCO feet of standing timbea and some 1,200 or 2,000 miles of logging railroad over which to get it to their saw mills. CONDEMNED METHOD ONLY. Gov.
