The Primary COlOrs.
Drug ReView.)

A correspondent writes to the Popular
Science News, asking why it is than green is
placed among the primary colofs of the spec
trum, instead of yellow as has been taught
heretofore The paper replies as follows:
1t has been proved that all possible hues
Of color may be obtained by mixing red,
green, and violet in various proportions:
hence it is decided that these are the three
primary colors. 1t was formerly supposed
that the priSmatic green was a compound
color, produced by the Bleeding of yellow and
blue; but this is not the case. IF two glass
tanks having parallel sides are filled, one a
solution Of aniline yellow, the other with an
ammonacal solution Of sui hate of copper Ca
pure blue, and a lantern is placed behind
EACH SO as to project two coIored disks on a
screens one OF these disks will be yellow and
the ether blue; but if the lanterS are arranged
so that the two colored disks overlap or coin
eide, the resulting disk will be white, not
green.
II, however, we mix the two solutions, and
place the cell containing the mixture in front
Of lantern, the disk on the screen will be
green, And the same result will be obtained
It one OF the cells is placed in front of the
other, SO that the light of the lantern passes
through both solutions.
How is this to be explained? On anaIvz-
ing, by means of prism, the light passing
through each solution, it will be found that
yellow liquid absorbs and quenches all the
rays Of the spectrum above the green, while
the blue quenches all those below the green.
Hence, when light is allowed to. pass through
both in either Of the ways mentioned above,
they absorb and quench all the colors except
the green, and the disk, obtained is therefore
green. The hues Of two colored substances
themselves are mixed One of the substances
always absorbS and quenches a part of the
rays which escapes from the other.
In the first experiment, the hues were
mixed without mixture of the substance, and
the white disk was the result of the real
blending of yellow and blue light

CHOOSING A LOCATION BEFORE

Cor. Gleanings in Bee Culture.

In regard to bees hunting tree for home
before they swarm, say some of them do, as
for instance, had swarm come out the first
of June, and they never alighted, but started
to the tree. | threw water and that did
stop them; on they went, and chased them
to neighbours woods, and they went over
their tree some ten rods, and turned down to-
ward the ground, and went back to their tree,
and went in. Again, had two swarms come
out together, and they went off. southwest,
and followed them to a tree in sight of my
house. There they divided; part of one
swarm went back to their old hive, and the
rest went in the tree Again, | found a lot
OF bees clearing out a tree, about Is feet high
from the ground, and shortly heard aswarm
come out and start for the tree I stopped
them with WATER and hived them, and the
next day they tried swarming again and I
stopped them and hiVed them again, and then
there came rain and kept them for two DAYS,
and then they stayed But there was no
swarm that went in that tree
| should like to tell the folks how to find a
bee tree in the woods. When you line
swarm, and think you are close to them, or
get cross line of them, then look at the sun:
take your line toward your tree, and every
tree youlook at, place the sun in the top or
behind the tree; and if there is a swarm in
Sthat tree, you can see them twenty rods off,
ina clear day. Between ten and two O'Clock

No More Liquor Licenses in Union County.

Through the earnest work and at
the instigation of the temperance
people of Union county, a petition,
signed by about 600 of the legal vo-
tiers of the county, asking that the
commissioners grant no more liquor
licenses, was presented to the board,
and on Friday of last week the COM
missioners took final action the sub
ject and granted the prayers of the
petitioners. The signers of these petit
tons are among the best people and
heaviest taxpayers of u county,
and includes nearly all the business
men of Elk Point. A great change
is being wrought among the people
on this liquor business, and good
men who a few years ago thought
hat the saloons were a necessary
evil, and gave no support to the
temperance cause, although they
were temperance men, now take a
different view of the matter, and are
working actively TO secure the ban
ishment of the saloon. The action
Of Commissioners Knudson and Pc
terson, who voted to grant no more
licenses for the sale of intoxicating
liquors, is to be commended by all
who have the welfare of the rising
generation at heart. They are both
honest and temperate men and have
the courage to do their duty, and all
good citizens will stand by them in
this action. Clerk Ringsrud was in
structed to notify the saloon keep
ers in this city Of the action of the
board, which he did, and one o.
them, Battiste Reandeau, at once
closed his saloon. and said he pro.
posed to be a law-abiding citizen
and not open it again until he had
q legal right to. The other threesa
looms kept their doors open unit
Saturday night, but did not, as WI
understand, openly sell any liquors
but indications were that beer and
whiskey was drank on their premis
es on Saturday. On Monday morn
ing, however, all four saloons wer'
found closed up, and up to the pres
ent writing.t this week W. are salts
fed NJ liquor has been sold and Ell
Point has been practically a temper
arce town. We have the kindlies
feelings toward these gentlemen
! We believe it is their intention i
abide by the law, and that no NOR
liquor will be sold until it can b
done legally, which event we honest
ly and sincerely hope may neve
again occur.

Sioux Falls Press: The tree pest,
which created considerable alarm
among the owners of trees in this
section a couple of weeks or more
ago, is liable TO come to nothing af-
ter all. The enlargments on the
cotton wood trees have sent their
tiny, tender gnats abroad in the
world and no n ever discovered
that there was one more than usual in
the air,and the white cotton like ex-
cresenceg on the maple trees are
producing nothing SO far as we have
been able to discover. The larvae
contained in the millions of little
white bundles in these trees evident
ly died in the womb. This seems
to be an off year for pests Of every
description in this region. They
come forth with alarming promise
early in the season but didn't hatch
out worth q cent.

DAKOTA EXHIBITS.

M. d. H. Moses of the immigra-
ton department of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway, was in
our city last week making arrange
ments for a display Of Dakota farm
products this season. These exhib-
its are taken by the Milwaukee COM
pany to state and county fairs, in
the eastern states, and heretofore
they have created great interest. In
order to collect material for a more
complete display, Mr.. Moses has ap-
pointed the following gentlemen to
assist him in this county: Howard
Mosier, J. P. Kiplinger, J. F. Cum
Minis, Albert Shurtleff and G.. +. NAL
lahan. What is wanted for this Dis
play is all kinds of grain, grasses,
vegetables and fruits.
The crop outlook in this co unity
is simply astonishing. Rye and
barley are now being harvested and
indicates a tremendous yield. The
wheat harvest will begin about the
latter part of next week, and prom
ises the largest yield and the best
quality ever known in the county.
Corn which is the principal crop
here, is at least two weeks earlier
than usual, and the present outlook
is that it viii exceed, by 25 percent
any previous corn crop in the coun-
ty. We do not see where any i'm
provement could be made in the
crop now standing in this county.
Six weeks more fair weather will
make every ear of corn, and there
is no possibility of it being caught
by frosts.
