Professor Hartley, of London, has
been trying to find out why the sky is
blue? His experiments show that the
color arises from the action of ozone up.
on the rays of light. The results of his
examination of ozonixed air go to prove
that it is Impossible for rays of light to
pass through so little as five miles of air
without the rays being colored sky blue
by the ozone commonly present, and
that the blue of objects viewed on
clear day at greater distance up to So to
90 miles must be almost entirely the
blneness of ozone in the air."

The interview concludes with the following paragraph, wheth- CT eminating from our tswnsman or the editor of the Citizen is not clear: "lhe people of Globe have about lost faith in the Tucson narrow gauge railroad, but there is new railroad scheme on fsot which is viewed with more hope and faith than any that has ever received their attention. The new proposition is to extend the mar row gauge from Clifton along the Gila River to Globe. The route IS feasi- ble one and it is believed that the road would be the cause of the develop ment of new mines and the cultivation of new lands sufficient to yield . prof itable return on the investment.
