others Recently Prof Spring, Of the
University Of Liege. carefully investi-
gated the question Of the color of
water, and has reached some interesting
conclusions According to him, absO-
lutte 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 de-
grees Of solnbility and in varying guam

In proof Of this he cites the fact that

Come with the night winds signing.

Vacant Farms i'm England.

LONDON, Oct. 9, 1S9O-An enor-
nous number of farms have become
vacant this Michaelmas, and all over
England it appears to be extremely
probable that land owners will have
them thrown upon their hands, as In
most counties there are half dozen
vacant holdings for every eligible APP
plicant.
The above state of things exists at
this time in free-trade England, where
no tariff laws are in force, while Wis
consin farmers are in prosperous
condition. and such thing as a va
cant farm is unknown, thus showing
that while Protection is building up
the manufacturing business of the
country, it is also protecting the best
interests of the farmer in increasing
the home demand for his productions
especially for those in which he has
invested the most labor and skill. 1t
will be sorry day for America when
our protected farmers find themselves
in the same plight as the free-trade
farmers of unpro tected England, be-
cause of the operation of any fiscal
laws.
