Why the Sky Appears Blue.

"WHY is the sky blueP'' is a question,
says a recent number of the AcadeDly,
which has often been asked, but never
satisfactorily answered. Helmholtz Of
fered an explanation which depended
on the reflection of solar light by the
air particles in the atmOshere. These
particles being very minute, would re-
feet preferably the shortest waves of
light, namely, blue waves, while they
would allow the longer waves,
corresponding to green and red
light, to pass through them; just as a
log of wood floating on the surface of
still water would throw off the tiny
wavelets caused by falling drop in its
neighborhood, while the same log in
long ocean swells would be tossed too
and fro without noticably impeding the
progress of the waves 81
DR.. E. 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 color-im-
preston there are in the eye three sets
of nerve-termini, one set chiefly infu-
enced by the red, another by the
green, the third by the violet rays. The
impression of color is Che resultant of
the intensities of these three effects.
The impression upon these nerves is
not directly proportional to the intensi-
ty of the ray, the different nerve-ter-
mini being subject to different laws.
For very feeble rays the "violet"
nerves are very sensitive, while the
"green' and "red'' nerves scarcely act
at all. AS the light increases in intensity
the "red' and green nerves increase
in activity, while the "violetn nerves
become tired and dazzled. For rays
of dazzling brilliancy the "red " nerves
are in their most sensitive condition.
Thus, of the simple colors, as the
brightness increases, red and green
change to yellow, blue becomes white.
Daylight at ordinary intensities affects
the three sets of nerve-termini equally;
the resultant impression is whiteness.
Now daylight is simply the light of the
sun weakened by manifold diffuse re-
| flections. The direct rays of the sun,
as we let them fall upon any cOlorless
object, appear also a white light; but
on attempting at noon ON a clear day
to gaze into the suns face the impress
sion is of binding yellow. 1t is not
that the direct rays differ in compost
ton from diffuse daylight, but that the
"violet nerves cannot transmit the
action Of such strong light The moon,
with enormously less Illuminating power
than the sun, seems bright, and is faI
brighter than the open sky. In pass
ing from the intensity of the moons
rays to those reaching us from CORE
spending bit of the open sky, we may
perhaps, take a step as great as that
between the brightness of the sun and
moon, In general, white light will ap.
pear bluer and bluer as its intensity
diminishes, and this law will apply tC
the skies; as the light they reflect be-
comes fainter and fainter they will in
crease in blueness, even though the
light by the process of reflection suffer
no change in composition. "a Scientific

The President Of the Supreme Execu-
y tive Commission Of Russia.

GENERAL LORIs MELIKoFF is the son
of an Armenian merchant, and began his
military oareeras an officer in HussaT
regiment In St. Petersburg. His talents
were recognized by Mouravietf, the
Governor General Of the Caucasus, but
until the opening Of the campaign of
1877 he had never had an. opportunity
to handle a large body Of troops, or to
learn the science Of war in the open
field. He was selected, however, as
the commander Of the principal column
which invaded Armenia from the line
Of the Caucasus, and in the end justi-
fed the sagacity of the Russian War
Office. The plan of campaign which
had been adopted by the headquarters
staff was exceedingly brilliant, but
II was based upon the nominal rather
than the available strength of the army.
If the 170,000 men called for by the
estimates had been ready for active op-
erations the conoentrle movement of
three columns upon Erzeroum would
have resulted in a speedy and over
whelning triumph. But the nominal
strength of the army was scarcely 1OO,-
600 men, and neither Melikoh's pa
tience nor TergukassOff's courage could
compensate for the default in the orig
inal estimates. Ardahan was carried
by storm Kars was invested, Mukh-
tar was forced back to the mountains,
and the appearance Of the Bayazid col
umn on the flank was anxiously await
ed. The Turkish commander at the
critical moment took advantage OF
shorter lines of communication, and by
weakening his center, massed his forces
against the Russian left wing. Nell
koff attacked the enemy in front; and
after severe repulse retreated toward
Kars. The left wing, after winning a
victory at Zaidikhan, was forced 10 re.
tire and re-establish its communities
tlons with Erivan. The Investment Of
Kars and Batum was abandoned, and
Meikoff's campaigns seemed TO have
ended midway in disaster. l.i-.
Although it was reported that Nell,
kOff had been removed from command
in disgrace, the Grand Duke Michae
was willing to give him a chance to re,
trieve his reputation. He resumed
operations about the middle of August
two months after the retreat from the
mountains, and lost one of his advanced
positions. The Russian forces were

THE mild, spring-like weather we
have been enjoying is called in North
ern New England "good sap weather."
and that it has proved so in some re-
gions alreadyisproven by the appearance
of maple sugar in this market The SUI
gar season generally sets in about the
10th of March, but, like everything else
this year it appears to be ahead of
time. The sugar camp is a grand insti-
tuition in the States north of us, and is
the first active, bustling indication that
spring is really daWning. Alternating
warm and cold weather are necessary
for successful sapping. Should the
thawing and the sunshine continue
two or three days without freeze,
the sap will stop running, though why
this is the case is not very clear, yet all
maple-sugar makers find this out by
experience. In new countries maple
trees have undergone the yearly process
of tapping for twenty or thirty years
without deteriorating in their sap-pro-
ducing qualities, but, on the contrary,
the sap is said to gain in sweetness the
longer the old trees have been subjected
to the process. Dr. -'..
Indians understood sugar-making
from the maple trees, and the process
was learned from them, though of a
rude and pristine character, by the first
white settlers. About the beginning of
the present century large party of
French emigTants, including mobiles and
priests, who were exiled from their
country in consequence of the .reYolu-
ton, purchased a large maple forest
near the head of Black River, in North
ern New York, and so little did they
know of sugar-making, they tapped
their trees in the summer-time, ald-
what was the most ridiculous part OF
the operation--instead of using the
very simple instrument, the "spile, -
which was customary among the ma
tives, they improved on the latter, and
inserted a g robinet,'' with a stop-cock
at the end, to turn on and off the flow
ing liquor, such as is used in drawing
out the contents Of a wins-cask. This
new wrinkle of these French philoso.
pliers excited such ridioule among the
Americans that the event was oele-
brated by striking off a medal repre-.
senting maple tree tapped in the man
ner above stated, and some of these
medals are still in existence. NoriOicl

A Strange Case.

NEARLY two months ago a youth by
the name of Huston brought on an af-
fray with Mr.. McClelland, a mer-
chant of New Philadelphia, small viii
lage eight miles northeast of Salem.
Huston threw u brick at his opponent,
striking above the left ear, and break
ing both tables of the skull bone. The
course of the fracture was such as to
involve the third convolution of Broca's
region.
After lying in a precarious condition
for time, Mr.. McClelland has recov-
cred so far as to be able to come to
Salem for the purpose of attending an
examination of the case before Esquire
Ward. 1t was found, however, that he
was not able to testify. While he is
perfectly rational, MIR. M. has not the
power to frame his thoughts into Ian
guage. The day previous to- that set
for the trial, on being asked to describe
the circumstances, he began: II was
mailing up" Here he paused, unable
to advance, and the word fence being
suggested he nodded his head in the af-
firmative. He then continued, but aft
er uttering four or five words again
stopped, unable to proceed till the
proper words were suggested. It is in
this manner only that he is able to con-
verse at all. The same difficulty occurs
on his attempting to write. He can
often tell one name of a person whom
he sees without being able to give the
other. His condition is slowly improv-
ing, but there is great doubt as to
whether he will fully recover.
The circumstances of the affray are
said to be these: Young Huston had
been ordered out of McClelland's store,
and, few days after, passed where the
latter was repairing a fence. Huston
directed M. to lay down his hatchet, as
he meant TO whip him. M. refused,
whereupon Huston seized a club and
made the attack, finally breaking the
club, M. meanwhile using his hatchet.
Huston then seized a brick. A gentle
man attempted to separate them and to
prevent the throwing of the brick, but
Huston threw over his shoulder, with
the result above stated McClelland is
about forty years old.-SGlem (IId.) }

These early fashions were superseded
by the classicists. They represented a
wanderer among the ruins of Athens
deciphering an inscription which repre-
sented the name of the caller. The
visiting cards of Louis XVI. were
adorned with flowers and birds The
artists eXcellod in adorning their cards,
and ladies usually saturated them with
their favorite perfume. Under the First
Empire, all cards were plain or orna-
mented with some allegorical allusion TO
Greece OF Rome. The restoration in
troduced little ornaments in pink, sepia
or many-colored edges. Under Louis
Philippe, heavy Bristol-board cards OF
good size bore the callers name in a
very delicate form--to indicate the
modesty of the great. 1t was then GUS
tomary to have small cards with very
great names, and in the early days OF
photography some people had theiI
cards embellished with their portrait
More recently, and especially in this
country, all visiting cards are rather
plain, and they are very much alike.
As a rule, engraved cards are preferred,
and the tendency is to leave off as
much as possible, except the name
People of standing think It below their
dignity to add their rank or their adj
dress, taking it for granted that these
matters are generally known or easily
learned from directories. In leaving
cards they avoid additional messages
or signs, the card itself being supposed
to tell its tale, and, if left by the Owner
in person, to confer honor enough fol
one day. Servants are not allowed tt
fold cards, as folded card is supposed
to come directly from the person whose
name it bears. There has of late beer
a tendency to add ornaments to cards
also titles or crowns, and gentlemen o
reputation like to add "Mr." as mari
of special modesty. But the simpler
card is the better it answers its pur
pose, which is no other than to take tn,
place of the person itself on occasion
where the reception of the owne
would be inconvenient on either side
or a useless ceremony. Gentlemen, il
calling on ladies, often make it poin
to use cards for the purpose of giving
ladies an opportunity to discontinue al
acquaintance in graceful manner.
a lady declines to see a gentleman one
or twice, the gentleman knows wha
that means, and he withdraws by leav
ing his card once more without askin,
to be received. Transcript.

You have read of them, but perhaps
you were never on the spot when q
street jam occurred. Think first of the
number of vehicles passing up and
down-two lines to the right going up
and two TO the right going down, and of
their miscellaneous character. A coupe
is followed by big mail wagon, that
by butcher-cart. that by phaetOn,
that by an omnibus, and perhaps load
of hay comes next. Stand here with
me at the corner Of Broadway and
Chambers street. It is ten o'clock in
the forenoon. AS far as you can see.l
up or down, Broadway is full Of moving
vehicles moving on and on as if moth
ing but a stone wall could check their
progress. The roar is deafening. The
sight is grand. It is living panorama
which thrills and excites you, and
makes you needless of the procession
of pedestrians on the walks. Ahl
What's thatl The stones in the road
way are like glass. One of a pair Of
horses hitched to truck slips, plunges
forward slips again, and, wheeling to
the loft, falls fiat ON the street, This is
on the right-hand side looking up the
street. The two lines Of vehicles going
down have room to pass, but a team
turning out from behind the fallen
horse locks wheels with an ice wagon,
and Broadway is in an instant blocked
from the Battery to Stewards. Look
either way and you see that every We
hicle has come to standstill, the roar
has ceased, wheels are still, and the
sudden silence almost frightens you.
This for fifteen seconds, which seems
five minutes to you, and then drivers
rise from their seats, whips flourish and
crack, horses rear and wheels rub, and
yells, Oaths, shouts and screams echo
up and down. aln.l /

him and lift him upon his feet as II he
were an overturned hobby-horse. He
is badly hurt and cannot stand. The
yells from up the street grow louder ;

coupled with threats, OF comes the

voice that was not her own. II must

At that moment Major Armstrong
was seen to start and bend forward as Il
listening intently, for he thought-al-
though he could scarcely believe his
ears-that he had suddenly caught a
faint sound Of distant firing. In anoth-
er instant he heard il again, and this
time there could be no more doubt, for
several of the others had caught it like
wise, and a CLEAN of hope once more
lighted up their haggard faces and
blood-shot eyes. Louder and nearer
came the welcome sound, while the
sudden terror and confusion visible
among the enemy showed that they,
too, were at no loss to guess its mean
ing. Then high above all the din rose
the well-known HutTahI' and through
the smoke-clOuds broke charging line
of glittering bayonets and ruddy En-
