From What World Did They Come! One of the most interesting discus- slons at the last meeting of the Brit- Ish association was on a psper by Prof. A. Renard concerning the origlu of chondritic meteorites. He showed that certain of these fragments, which have come to our planet from the sky, pre- sent in their structure phenomena fa- miliar to geologists in the case rocks that have been submitted t crushing and shearing forces in the earth. Tbe president of the geological section remarked that it is not often that the geolgist can apply the prin- ciples of his science beyond the sphere be inhabits .- Youth's Companion.

Atmospbeelo Waves.

a Tbe atmospheric oceau surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gi- gantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the alr charged with moisture up into a cold- er atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, parallel lines of clouds some- times make thelr appearance at great height, making the cresta of a ripple of alr waves running mlles above our heads .- Chicago Chronicle.

COMMUNICATIONS.

[ The editor assumes no responsibility for mat- ter under this caption. This column is entirely at the disposal of the public, avoiding, as far a possible, trivial and controversial matter.]

The parents of more than 500 towns and cities of the United States, moved by the tragedies of juvenile crime, have recently ordained-acting co-operatively through their town and city councils- that their children shall come home at night at the signal of a so-called curfew hell, which usually rings at 8 o'clock in winter, at 9 in summer.

Those who argue against the revival of the "curfew" as a return to medievalism show ignorance of history or lack of po- etry. The ancient curfew applied to old and young alike. The modern curfew has only the poetic resemblance of being an evening bell. As well object to mod- ern uses of the words "chivalry" and "crusade," because these words in me- dieval timee meant war. Those who ar- gue that parents should regulate this matter, forget that government is but the co-operative act of parente, who need to act together In cities and villages. Nowhere can curfew he established ex- cept at the request of parents expressed in ballots and petitions. The law no more interferes with parental rights and personal liberty than kindred laws on compulsory education and child labor, now folly established in the most en. lightened commonwealths. The school and the curfew bell are equally justified as necessary safeguards of public morals and prospective citizenship. Laws for-

bidding the sale of liquors, tobacco and corrupt literature to in forsshave long since illustrated the , des of the state to protect immature you 9 Gladstone's great eaying that it is the chief purpose of law to make it as hard as possible to do wrong and as easy as possible to do right, applies pre-eminently to laws to protect minors. Will any intelligent view of personal liberty justify turning infants loose to play with poisons and razors ?- Selected by E. D. Daniels.

"Tbe Missouri Girl" is the best com- edy you will have a chance to witness this eeason. The date is Thursday even- ing, March 22. One of the brighteet things that has cropped out-of late is Fred Raymond's domestic play, "l'he Missouri Girl," which depicts principally the country life in southwest Missouri during the exciting times when lead and zinc ore was being discovered in large quantities in nearly every farmer's door yard or corn field. Mr. Raymond hae discovered an entire new set of stage characters that are out of the ordinary run of those usually found in playe of this class. The plot is interesting and keeps the audience epellbound from start to finish. The comedy is natural and not forced and is excruciatingly funny. A number of original ideas are brought out in such a way ae to bring forth an im- mense amount of laughter. The scenery used in the production was reproduced from photographs taken In the pic- turesque Ozark mountaina, the principal lead and zinc mining district of the world
