Is THE SUN BLUE? Pit may be asked,
What suggested the idea that the sun may
be blue rather than any other color 2 My
own attention was first directed this way
many years ago when measuring the heat
and light from different parts of the suns
die. It is known that the sun has an
atmosphere of its own, which tempers its
heat, and by cutting off certain radiations
and not others produces the spectral lines
we are all familiar with. These lines we
customarily study in connection with the
absorbing vapors of sodium, iron, &C., which
produce them but my own attention was
particularly given to the regions of absorp-
tion, or to the color caused and l found
that the SUMS body must be deeply blush,
and that it would shed blue light, except
for this apparently colorless solar atmos-
phere, which really plays the part of red
dish veil, letting little of the blue appear
on the centre Of the SUMS disc where it is
thinnest, and staining the edge red, so that
TO delicate tests the centre of the sun is 9
pale auuamarine, and its edge is garnet.
The effect found to be so important that,
if this all but invisible solar atmosphere
| were diminished by but third part the
temperature of the British islands would rise
above that of the torrid zone; and this
directed my attention to the great practlca
importance of studying the action of our
own terrestrial atmosphere on the sun, and
the antecedent probability that our OWL
air was also and Independently making the
really blue sun into an apparently white
one.-Professor Langley, In "Science."

1t is a settled fact all over the

lower price than one who takes
promises for pay and records
them on a big book to rust
away.
We mean, not to force sales
by our advertisements, only to
attract your attention, so you
will come in and see our stock
OF goods. When once you sec
what goods we offer, we are
convinced it will be no trouble
10 sell to you.
We have no inclination to
buster or brag about our goods
and prices. We are honest
when we tell you we have some
great inducements in the way
of Fall Goods.
Your attention for a few mo-
ments and we will give you a
faint idea of some of our Inc OF
goods.
For those who want to do a
lot of quilting, we have prepar-
ed about 1000 yar4s of good
Calicoes in remnants which we
will sell at four cents per yard,
