The ETHEREAL blue color of the sky
is due 10 minute particles Of matter
which float in the air. Were these
particles removed, the appearance Of
the sky would be dead black. 1t is
fact in optics that exceedingly fine
proportions of matter disperse or scat
ter the blue light, coarser proportions
scatter all the rays, making white light,
The atmosphere is full of aqueous va
por, the particles of which diffuse white
light in all directions. When these
particles are enlarging they become Wis
ible in the form Of clouds. The va
por particles of the white clouds are
supposed to be finer and lighter than
those of the dark clouds. The difn'
sion of light in our atmosphere, the
blue sky and the colors of the clouds,
are due to the presence Of matter float
ing in the air, has been conclusiyely
proven by Tyndall. On passing a
beam of sunlight through glass tube
the beam is rendered brilliantly visi-
bic by the reflection Of light from the
dust particles floating in the air con-
tained in the tube. But on removing
the dust particles, which is done by
filtering the air by cotton, wool, OF
causing the air to pass over a flame
the beam of light is not longer visible
in the tube.-Scientife american.

rnE HERO OF unLL n1vE1,.

AT the inquest held By the coroner
upon the body Of one of the victims
Of the Mill River accident, in Massa-
chusetts, Collins Graves appeared as a
witness. He proved to be a young
man probably under. thirty, with
we'll knit figure, of medium height,
quiet, strong, honest face, and a de-
meanor that was even shy He was
going his round in his buggy peddling
milk, when he noticed Cheney ride in
to Belcher's stable yard with such an
anxious look on his face that he rode
in after him to find what the matter
was. He said to Cheney: George
what's the matter?' Cheney replied
"The reservoir is giving away" "Do
yeu mean it2" said Graves. EYES,"
replied Cheney, II do" Then Graves
said, "Well, if that's so, somebody's
got to let them know it. You, George,
warn the folks here, and l will drive
down the river" and with the words
he started.
He gave the first alarm at Mr..
,Ihes' wooden mill, telling Tom Bra
I'll that the reservoir had broken away
and he must alarm the hands and hunt
up Mr.. Birmingham and warn him.
Then he drove to Skinneryille, and
met Mr.. Skinner. and told him. He
cried aloud as he passed every house,
but met no person on the road between
Williamsburg and Skinnerville. Met
Nash Hubbard at the door of the silk
factory, and called out: "The reser-
voir has given away and is right here,
All you can do is to get away" He
also met Geo.. f. Smith, and told him,
Thaddeus Bartlett, Kaplinger and a
boy were told the same news in a
breath. All this, while he had not
seen or heard the food. On he went.
AT Hayden Tere's office he left the
same word as at Skinner's. He drove
on to Harris barber shop, and thence
10 Deacon Elan Graves store, when
he turned back. He first saw the
food when he got into the dugaway
above the brass works, bearing down
upon him and again turning down
the river, he drove this time to the ho-
tel and told Loomis, the landlord, who
then got his horses out Of the barn,
and had hardly done it when the dam
was gone. Mr.. Graves was here ques-
toned as to his meeting any person on
the way, ana said he met no ono all
the way to Haydenville, but met
Jerome Hillman on horseback, COM
ing from Skinnerville, just as he en-
tered the dugaway to go thither; that
he caught sight Of Hillman, and the
great wave at the same time, and heard
him call out "Turn around the reser-
voir is right here" he escape the flood

by the church, and saw the houses and

away, everything had been swept away,
the time being he should think, some
six or eight minutes. He gave the
alarm all along his way, but he could
not tell whether all the people heard
him. The general alarm at Skinner,
will was given by ringing the factory
bell, which struck us he started away

Casselbeny, of Vineland, N. j., once
laid his grandmother under his grape
vine, and by carefully watering her
twice day, he secured crop Of fif-
teen bushels of Black Hamburgs. The
subject came up in the agricultural So
ciety subsequently, and there was
question whether q grandmother was
the only female relative that could be
efiicaciously used, and whether it
should be q paternaf or maternal
grandmother Casselbeny explained
that he had known a maiden aunt or
second cousin to do equally as well,
and he had his stepfather among the
Ioots of his mammoth gooseberry
bush, with every prospect of superb
crop. Very particular inquiries were
made by several members concerning
the availability Of mothers-in-law in
improving the asparagus bed he
took the first prize for asparagus at
eighty county fairs. The meeting sud
denly adjourned, and fifteen mothers
in-law in Vineland died during the
succeeding week.

Mauch Chunk, having lost his leg by

out of that bone. When old Mackin-
tosh of Darby, died, his widow had
his framework taken out, and she
worked the whole of it up into knife
handles and trouser buttons, which
she gave to her second husband when
they were married. The hottest kind
of water never hurt those knife han
dies, and the suspenders that wouldn't

the Senate thought she should pay the

was Pluto. -
Hercules was an ancient club man,
and something of scientist too, judg,

Mercury was said to be in favor of
quicksilver, hence was the god of
thieves and of those who believed in
the nimble sixpence. -.
The ladies always think Of Cupid
with bow, and sometimes they are
all of quiyer when they refer to him,
H1odus was god of the winds. He
might find a good many great blowers
in these days that would make him
tremble for his reputation.
