ured by ITnfessor T. .1. .1. See, who
determines the thickness of the air

tween the lime of sunset and Ihe eun*
plete disappearance of blue from the

changes Into black can ho observed
unite easily with approximate cer
tainty by the naked eye when the
air Is clear, and by trigonometry
may he ascertained the distance below
tin* horizon of the sun at the moment
of change. By Mils means may lie cal

Is possibly a little difficult of exact
observation, Init the method Is not more
doubtful than that based on the oli-

greatly differing from the vanishing
blue method. The former gives the
height of the atmosphere at lf)l) miles.

Inebriety nnd llie Kilting of Fruit,
There Is Imt one sure cure for the
drinking disease or lmlill, ami that Is
the simplest of all. The cure consists
In eating fruits. That will cure the
worst case of Inebriety that ever af
flicted a person. It will entirely de
stroy the taste for Intoxicants and will
make the drunkard tv turn to the
thoughts and tastes of his childhood.
No person ever saw a man or woman
who liked fruit and who had an ap
petite for drink. No person ever saw
a man or woman with an appetite for
drink who liked fruit. The two tastes
are at deadly enmity with each other,
ami there Is 110 room for both of them

will surely destroy tho other. Wlmt to
