Harper's Ferry is on latitude thirty.

lost all OF his geographical and historic

loss to know how he, leaving Hunt

Va, could by - midnight OF the samo
day be in Charlestown, the place where
John Brown paid the penalty ct his

Why the Shy Ape ary Blue.

why is the sky blue?" is a question
which has often been asked, but never
satisfactorily answered. Helmholtz
offered an explanation which depended
on the reflection Of solar light by the air
particles in the atmosphere. These
particles being very Minute would re-
fleet preferably the shortest waves Of
light, NAMELY blue waves, while they
would allow the longer waves. CORE
spending to green and red light, To
pass through them; just as q log Of
wood floating on the surface Of still
water would throw OF the tiny waves
caused by a falling drop in its neigh.
borhood, while the So me log in long
ocean swells would be tossed to and fro
without noticeably impeding the pro-
gress Of the waves.
DIR. +. l. Nichols, In the Philosophical
Magazine for December. has propound-
ed another view, which has much to
recommend It. According to Young
and Helmholtz's theory Of co~lor-impres-
sion there are in the eye three sets Of
nefve-termini, one set chiefly influenced
by the red, another by the green, the
third by the violet rays. The impression
of color is the resultant of the intensities
of these three effects. The impression
upon these nerves is not directly proper
tional tn the intensity of the ray, the
different nerve-termini being subject to
different laws. For very feeble rays the
"violet" nerves are very sensitive,
while the /" green" and cred" nerves
scarcely act at all. As the light
increases in intensity the "red"
and "green" nerves increase in
activity, while the ~"violet" nerves
become tired and dazzled. For rays of
dazzling brilliancy the cred" nerves
are in their most sensitive condition.
Thus, of the simple c%olors, as the bright
ness increases, red and green change to
yellow, blue becomes white. Daylight
at ordinary intensities affects the three
sets of nerve-termini equally; the re-
sultant impression is wilderness. Now
daylight is simply the light Of the sun
weakened by manifold diffuse reflec-
tons. The direct rays of the sun, as we
let them fall upon any colOrless object,
appear also a white light; but on at
tempting at o o on a clear day to gaze
into the suns face the impression is of
binding yellow. 1t is not that the di-
rect rays differ in composition from
diffuse daylight but that the "viOlet"
nerves can not transmit the action of
such strong light. The moon, with
enormously less Illuminating power than
the sun, seems bright, and is far bright
or than the open sky. In passing from
the intensity of the moons rays to those
reaching us from q corresponding bit of
the open sky, we may, perhaps, take a
step as great as that between the bright
ness of the sun and MOON. In general,
white light will appear bluer and bluer
as its intensity diminishes, and this law
will apply to the skies; as the light they
reflect becomes fainter and fainter they
will increase in blueness, even though
the light by the process Of reflection
suffer no change in composition.-Lon-
don dcademy.
The Red Cloud chief., 1880-04-01

The death of the deeply-lamented
Alphonse, pet Of the Parisians and para
gon of all orang-outangs. and Of his
a~ffectionate sire has been followed by q
sort of pilgrimage to tbs scene Of their
last appearance, where their mortal
remains have been " set up !" artistically
by the best professors q the AT Of stuff
ing. One Of the literary gentlemen Who
was assisting 1t the melancholy scene
has described IN interview which he had
on the spot with Cadet, the "inspector
of animals" 1t the Jardin d. AcclimA-
ton, and has reproduced, for the edit
cation of the public, the theory which
that worthy originated As the canse Of
death in the father and son. According
to this version of the affair the catastrO-
phe was the result of nothing more nor
less than love and regret. The mother
Of Alphonse had inspired both her com
pauiOns with 50 warm an affection that
life became insupportable to both OF
them when they YER carried Oh, leav-
ing her in the ancestral forest.
It was in vain that NJ Cadet was on
fronted with the verdict Of the learned
