Stratus is the name given to the third great
massof clouds. It is sometimes called the
fall or night cloud, being common to autumn
and most dense at midnight. When viewed
from a height it is seenspreading around like
a sea and creeping up the hilhidas. After
sunrise it breaks up into cumulusclouds. van-
ishes with the increasing heat, and indicates
a serene day. Stratified clouds are charming
to the eye, stretching right across the sky
under the level of other clouds, and barring
heaven like a silken banner with their showy
stripes and ribbons of silver.
Other clouds, being lm prominently de-
fined, receive their names in proportion as

called drrosu-atus. It often remnbles shoals

time the sky is said to be mackerel-backed.
It is that filmy veil through which the sun
and moon shine faintly. The twain cloud is
called the colonic-stratus, becauss it takes the
peculiaritim of both. It resembles a thick
stemmed fungus, witba flat anvil-shaped top.
It is an intermediate cloud between thus

of mountain scenery, for it often envelopes
the peaks like a curtain.
The ‘elouds of Magellan are the large, lumi-

earthed some rare treasures on the grove last
week. The most curious thing found wu an
ancient coin of the reign of Alexander the
Great. Thecoin issilver, about thesiasofa
fifty cent piece. On one side is the outbound
likeness of Alexander, on the other three
Greek mottoes and the nude likeness of a
Greek warrior armed with sword, helmet

A small boy had been having a day of use,
mitigated outrugeousnw, such as all children
who do not die young are likely to have at

mother said to him:
“When you say your prayers, Georgie, ask
God to mskayoua better boy Youhavo

The youngster accordingly put up his peti-
tions’ in the usual form, and then before
closing with “Amen” he added:
“And please, God, make me a good boy."
He paused a second and then, to the utter
consternation of his mother, concluded with
unabated gravity: “Nevertheless, not my
