The Colors of Lakes and Rivers

What is the color of pure water 7
Almost any person who has no special
knowledge of the subject will reply
at once, at has no color" yet every
body knows, either through hearsay
or by the evidence of his own eyes,
that the ocean is tlue. Why the
ocean looks blue is question that
few who have crossed it have ever
sought to solve, and there are, proba-
bly,, many travellers who, though
they have seen most Of the famous
rivers and lakes in the world, have
failed to notice the remarkable differ
ances in color which their waters
present. Even the ocean is not uni
form in color; in some places its
waters are green, or even yellowish.
Some lakes are distinctly blue; others
present various shades of green, so
that in some cases they are hardly
distinguishable from their level, grass.
covered banks a few are almost
black. The Lake of Geneva is azure
hued, the Lake of Constance and the
Lake f Lucerne are green the color
of the Mediterranean has been called
indigo. The Lake of Brienz is
greenish yellow, and its neighbor, Lake
Thun, is blue. New York has both
green and blue lakes. The colors of
rivers differ more widely. The Rhone
is blue and so is the Danube, while
the Rhine is green. Anybody who
has traversed the wonderful Adiron-
dack region and fished in its waters
must have noticed the remarkable
differences in the. color of its rivers
and smaller streams which radiate in
every direction from the central
group of mountains. The waters of
the Sacondaga are yellowish, while
those of the Canada creeks and of the
Mohawk are clear with perhaps
blush tint in deep pools. Fish Creek
is black or deep brown, and its neigh
Dor, Salmon River, is colorless. Next
comes the Black River, whose color
is indicated by its name, but between
it and the Grasse, which is also black

withered rose-leaves, and the faint
pink of them was in her cheeks.

said, meeting her on my threshold.
TIE pink in her cheeks died out

loveliest girlish blush. "Have you

or brown is the Oswegatchie with
clear white waters. The st. Regis
again is black, but the Requette is
white. The st. Lawrence is blue.
These various hues are not caused by
mud, or any opaque sediment, such
as that which makes the Mississippi
cofee-colored, but belong to the
waters, like the golden color Of tea,
without greatly impairing their tran
sparency.
The cause of the difference in the
color of lakes and rivers has engaged
the attention of many celebrated in
vestigators of nature, such as Tyndall,
Bunsen, Arago, Sainte-Claire Deville,
and others. Recently Prof Spring
of the University of Liege has care
fully investigated the question of the
color of water, and has reached some
interesting conclusions. According
to him, absolutely pure water, when
seen in masses Of sufficient thickness,
is blue, and all the varieties of color
exhibited in lakes and streams arise
from the presence in the water of
mineral salts of different degrees of
solubility and in varying quantities
Water containing carbonate of lime
in state Of almost complete solution
remains blue, but if the solution is
less complete the water will have a
ting of green which will grow strong
er as the point of precipitation is ap-
preached. Prof. Spring concludes
that if lime is added to blue water,
in which so much carbonate of lime
is already dissolved that the point of
saturation is approached, the water
will become green. In proof of this
he cites the fact that the water near
the shores of lakes and seas, where
it comes in contact, with limestone, is
generally of greener hue than else
where.

According to a Berlin paper some dis
agreeable results have followed the cleo
trio lighting of the Winter palace at St.
Petersburg, the intense br|illiancy of the
light having been found to cause dire de-
struction among the ornamental plants
used for the decoration of the banuueting
halls. 1t appears that the complete illu-
mination of the rooms for a single night
is enough to cause the leaves to turn vel
low and dry up, and ultimately to fall off.
The damage to the celebrated collection of
palms at the palace is especially serious.
1t is supposed that the injury is princi-
pally due to the sudden change from the
sunless days Of the northern winter and
from the subdued light of the plant houses
to the binding light of the %banqueting
halls. 1t has been shown beyond a doubt
that the rapidity of the injurious action
and the amount are directly proportional
to the intensity of the illumination, and
plants standing in inches or other places
partially shielded from the light are found
TO remain uninjured. There is no doubt
that the injurious effects of the light are
greatly intensified by the dry, artificialy
heated atmosphere of the rooms, and that
they would be minimized, if not entirely
obviated, if the plants could be surrounded
by a steamy atmosphere, such as that in
which they are grOwn.-Boston Post.

A Mrs. Helm wrote to Beethoven when
he had already lived half "a century, and
most sentimentally asked him for a souve-
nir-if possible, "A lock of his hair-and
he was cruel enough to cut some gray hair
from n goat and to send it to her in a
locket which she had transmitted to him
for the purpose. There would not nave
been much harm in it, because Mrs. Helm
i'll perfect good faith wore the locket: and
since it is faith only that renders YOU
happy, she, thinking that she wore the
cherished hair on her heart, was happy.
But after her delusion had lasted for wears
n friend OF Beethoven, to whom he had
~laughingly confided the whole story,
suddenly revealed the secret to the very
lady who was the victim of the hoax, and
she with bitter tears wrote to Beethoven,
telling him how cruel it was to take such
unfair advantage Of Ler admiration for and
her mbounded good faith in him, and to
render q friend, Il sincere adorer, if she
might say SO, ridiculous before all her
friends, to whom she had often shown

SHOULD BE

MIR. Bergman is a man of positive con-
vlcuons and does not hesitate to express
them when the occasion demands it, but
he has an.ofhcial record of which any citi-
zen might well be proud, and should he
not be reelected his talents will readily
command a first class salary Yesterdays
Sun.
Considering the fact that Judge Berg.
man is a man of such u%ndoubtcd talent;
that he has high salaried positions Just
yearning to receive him; that he has
made an admirable record and that he is
fairly aching to bid adieu 10 politics for
ever, it is at least passing strange that he
should be making such a desperate scram-
BILE for his fifth term as county treasurer,
probate judge and tax collector, more
particularly in view OF the fact that he
has been city treasurer for the past four,
teen years.
His fight for the nomination was a des-
perate one and he only won the prize by
using the party whip and manipulating a
bundle of proxies. In a fair, square,
open fight Mr.. Whipple would have de
feated him, for the opposition to him
came not from irresponsible delegates but
from some of the best known Republicans
and largest property owners in the county.
His antics subsequent to the nomina-
ton were certainly not conducive to the
belief that his desire to get out of office
had reached an u~nconquerable stage. In
some cases where he met with opposition
from unexpected quarters he has resorted
to intimidation and in cases of employees
has promised to visit their detection upon
the firms which employed those who op-
posed him.
The Sun endeavors to create the i'm.
preston that Judge Bergman has had alb.
~solutely nothing to dc with the increased
rate of taxation. OF course this is fudge,
pure and simple. For years Judge Berg
man has been a power in municipal,
county, school and legislative affairs. 1t
made no difference what was up for dis
c%ussion, Bergman was always manipulate
ing from the background. He could not
ever let the last legislature 90 its way in
peace. That body was disposed to pass a
law limiting the perquisites of county
officers to specified salaries, thus doing
away with the onerous fee system. The
man to whom the defeat of that measure
was mainly due was Judge Bergman.

And so it has gone on for years. With
nothing to do but to look after the city,
county and school officers he has domi-
mated everything because no one has,
until lately, taken the trouble to oppose
him. His Offices have been rich plums,
and from the none which they
have brought him he could well
afford to spend well for a reelection.
The natural result has been that an ele-
ment of corruption has been introduced
into our politics that would shame the
down town wards of New York. Many
decent men who would honor public posi-
ton will not aspire, for they know their
election will not hinge on questions of
capability, integrity or special fitness, but
on Doodle.
Bossism, Bergman and Doodle have
been the bane of local politics, but if the
people of this county do their duty next
Tuesday the triumvirate will meet with
dire defeat.

ONE Of the most persistently main
tanned arguments of those opposed to
woman suffrage is hat women will not
vote for or support one Of their own sex.
Whether this argument is false or r
will be decided at the coming election.
The male portion of the Two political par
ties are nearly equal in numbers; so near
so, that the women if voting as a class
can elect anyone on whom they combine
and support. One of their own sex is in
this county a candidate for a non-partisan
position which she is by education and ex-
perience fitted to fill aeceptably. If she
is not elected the women of Laramie
county will have borne effectual testi
mony to the truth of the anti suffragists
argument and will have clearly indicated
to the male manipulators of politics that
they do not want to hold office or allow
any woman to do so.

The author of '"Three Years of a Wan
derer's Life" ssys that he once saw three
young tigers, larger than Newfoundland
dogs, loose on the deck of a British India
steamer, crowded with several hundred
Mecca pilgrims. The cage in which they
were confined was large, and barred on
each side, with n partition running along
its middle, which had a drop door. The
man who had charge of the animals would
drive them over to one side of the cage,
close the partition and clean out the other
side at his leisure; then barring up the
clean side, he would open the partition
and drive the tigers back, while he went
through h same performance on the
other side. One morning he neglected to
put up the bars on the side he had finished,
and so drove the tigers out of the opposite
side of the open cage. The animals, on
obtaining their liberty, took different
directions, and, crouching in the nearest
corners. lay snarling and exposing their
teeth, showing unmistakable signs of a
most dangerous fear. That side of the
deck was deserted n the crowd gazed in
interest at n respectful distance.
Mr.. Fleuse, the third officer, the sec
ond officer and the keeper each placed
themselves before a tiger, barring their
exit, should they attempt to move away.
Fleuse inquired if the tigers had been fed
That day. Ihey had not; they had always
been fed on living fowls. Fleuse called
for three chickens from the hen coop.
Taking these he threw one i'll the face of
each tiger. The chickens seemed simply
motionless, glued to the spot, so instan-
taneous was the fixing of teeth and claws.
Fleuse then went deliberately up to a
tiger, coolly o the loose skin of the
back of the neck with one hand and the
root of the tail with the other, and putting
out his full strength, dragged the heavy
brute along the deck to the cage and
forced it through the open bars. The
chicken diversion acted perfectly. The
brute had no object but that of retaining its
prey. Itgrowled f%earfully; its eyes blazed;
its teeth crushed through the chicken; its
unsheathed claws clasped and pierced its
quivering body. Red hot irons would
hardly have made it loosen its grip of the
bird. Then the keeper and the others
helped Fleuse in carrying the remaining
tigers into the cage.-The Argonaut.
