VILLAGE ELECTION.

VILLAGE election passed off quietly.
Only two tickets were in the field. Ali
of the regular caucus ticket wasNlected
with the exception Of the head. No one
seemed to take much interest in the
election, not even the nominees.
). G. Holden, the President elect, will
undoubtedly make good level-headed
executive officer AS has our president of
the past; and we have not the slightest
doubt but that Joseph Effrick, the new
ly elected Clerk will be able to keep the
books in such manner that he will not
be obliged to copy from the Treasurer's
book at the end of the term to make up
his accounts correctly.
All of the other officers will be sub
stantial business men. and we can safe
ly look forward to another year of level
headed village administration.
The two tickets in the field were the
Citizens and Peoples. The total num-
Der of votes cast this year was 1852
against 1856 last year. Below we give a
report Of the election as declared Mon
day evening:

WATER IS BLUE.
The Presence of Mineral Salts Modifies

The Presence Of Mineral Salts Modifies
Its Natural Hue.
From Nature.
What is the color OF pure water? Almost any
person who has no special knowledge Of the
subject will reply at once: 1T has no color +"
Yet everybody knows, either through hearsay
or by the evidence Of his own eyes, that the
ocean is blue. Why the ocean looks blue is a
question that few who have crossed it have ever
sought to solve, and there are. probably, many
travellers who, though they have seen most of
the famous rivers and lakes in the world, have
failed to notice the remarkable differences in
color which their waters present
Even the ocean il not uniform in color. In
some places its waters are green or even yell
lowish. 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 of
Lucerne are green. The color OF the Mediter-
ranean has been called indigo. The Lake Of
Brienz is greenish yellow and its neighbor,
Lake Thun. 10 blue.
The colors Of rivers differ yet more widely.
The Rhone Is blue, and SO is the Danube, while
the Rhine 10 green. The st. Lawrence is blue
These various hues are not caused by mud or
any opaque seulment. such as that which makes
the Mississippi coffee colored, but belong to
the waters, like the golden color Of tea, with
out greatly inpairing their transparency.
The cause OF the difference in the color of
lakes and rivers has engaged the attention OF
many celebrated Investigators OF nature, such
an Tyndall, Bunsen, Arago, Sainte-C Claire, De-
vile and others. Recently Prof Spring Of the
University Of Liege has carefully investiga gated
the question OF the color of water and has
reached some interesting conclusions. Accord
ing 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 varying quantities.
Water containing carbonate Of lime in q state
OF almost complete solution remains blue, but
II the solution is less complete the water will
have . tinge Of green, which will grow stronger
as the point of precipitation is approached
Prof. Spring concludes that, il lime il added to
blue water in which SO much Carbonate Of lime
is already dissolved that the point Of saturation
10 approached, the water will become green. In
proof Of this he cites the fact that the waters near
the shores OF the lakes and seas, where it comes
in contact with Limestone, 10 generally Of .
greener hue than elsewhere.

flksT POSITION OF STOPPING.
What do the sdherents Of other systems
think OF the following: "A man covered with
hard muscles will often display great imme.
diate power, but not endurance, and Of after
health he can have little chance. His muscles
feed upon his vitality and threaten his general
health. On the other hand. . man who keeps
his muscular system in o state of comparative
softness and high fexibility can not only sum-
mon great strength but his powers Of ePdur-
ance are surprising. He is easily kept in train
