The Barbadian, from variety of causes,
political principally, has developed a COM
mercial activity greater than has so far
appeared possible in the other of these
islands. His island has become the dis
tributing point of the region, and has, in
consequence, attracted and held together
population larger, proportionately, than
any of the other islands. The streets of
the capital are alive with bustling trades.
her buildings bear evidence that land is
valuable, her roadstead is alive with for
eign shipping, and the annual addition to
her population appears to gohand in hand
with the increase of her material pros
perity, while other islands, notably st.
Lucia, have been sacked and pillaged for
$50 years prior to the opening of this cen
tury, conquered first by one power and
then by the other. Barbados has, since
1925, developed as peacefully and nor
mally as New England, and is today, in
spite of the low price of cane sugar. one

Is the Sun Blueo

One of the shining lights of astronom-
ical science has this to say in regard to
the color of the sun:
1t may be asked: ''What suggests the
idea that the sun is blue?" My own at
tentiOn was directed this way many
years ago, when measuring the heat and
light from different parts of the suns
disk. 1t is known that the sun has an
atmosphere of its own, which tempers
its heat, and, by cutting off certain radi-
atons and not others, produces the spec
tral lines with which we are so familiar.
These lines we usually study in connec-
ton with the absorbing vapors of sodi-
um, iron, ETC., which produce them; but
my own attention was particularly given
to the regions of absorption, or to the
color it caused.
In these Investigations l found that the
suns body must be of deep blush
color, and that it would shed deep blue
light, except for the solar atmosphere,
which is usually spoken of as being color
less, but which really plays the part of a
reddish veil, letting a little of the blue
appear on the center of the suns disk.
where it is the thinnest, and staining the
edge red, so as to appear to a delicate
test as being pale aqua marine in the
center and deep garnet around the edge.
The effect l found to be so important
that, were this all but invisible solar at
mosphere diminished only by a third
part, the temperature of all temperate
zones would rise higher than any torrid
zone and make the greater part of the
world uninhabitable.
These studies directed my attention to
the great practical Importance of study
ing the action of our own terrestrial at
mosphere on the sun, and the antecedent
probability that our own air was also,
and independently having the effect of
making really blue sunshine and sun
appear as white when it should be of a
cerulean hue.-St. Louis Republic.

Atlantic Cattle Ships.

The boats each carry from 800 to 600
cattle per trip. The largest cargo ever
taken over consisted of 1900 head. The
greatest number ever slowed on an upper
deck for single passage was 1926 head.
The voyage consumes from eight to six
teen days.
Cattle are hardly ever sick at sea.
They readily catch the motion of the
boat and after a couple of days find their
sea legs as readily as the most hardened,
weather beaten old salt of the brine, If
they show any signs of 'paleness about
the gills" they are doctored with salts.
The system of shipping cattle is encum-
bered with far less difficulties than that
of carrying horses. The horse is a very
animal to pilot across, and
one of the rules applied is never to let
him lie down.-New York Letter.

How Ice Cutters Resouo Horses.

The danger of cutting Ice before 1t has
attained a thickness Of eight inches or
more is great, and numbers of horses
have been lost by their breaking through
the ice while working the plows. Old
icemen say, however, that by putting a
slipnoose around the animals neck be-
fore it goes under the ice, the work of
getting it out is not great. The action
of the moose stops the animals breath
ing, and soon causes the body to become
inflated with wind so that it will float on
the surface, when it is easily hauled out
upon the ice.-Boston Record.
