THE BLUE SKY.
why 1t il Deeper in Tint Mt Some Times
Than at Others.

Why II IL Deeper in Tint ut Some Times
Than at Others.
Every one admires and talks OF the
blue of the sky, but how many have
observed not only that the sky is some
times of deeper or richer blue than
at other times, but that its changes oil
tint occur in n more or less regular
way?
Such is the conclusion OF M. Crova,
who has reported to the Paris Academy
of Sciences the result OF his systematic
observations OF sky color from Decem-
Der 1889, to December 1890.
He finds that the sky is most intense
ly blue in December. January, March
and September, and paler in July,
August and November. Observing the
changes from hour to hour he found
that 1t was more deeply blue in the
morning than during the heat OF mid
day. This indicates that since the
deepest color is seen. generally speak
ing, in the coolest months and during
the cooler part of the day, heat is an
important element in determining the
depth of the sky color.
This recalls one of the most brilliant
of the many experiments with which
Professor Tyndall used to illustrate
his lectures. By projecting beam OF
electric light into cloud of invisible
particles of vapor in glass vessel he
was able to initiate the finest azure
tints of an Italian sky.
The point of the experiment was to
show that the sky tint is caused by
the reflection OF the blue waves OF
light floating high in the air. The
waves of blue light are shorter than
those of yellow or red, and consequent
ly are more easily arrested and re-
flected b, ok.
When the sun is blazing hot high in
the heavens it dissolves the fine parti-
cles of vapor to great extent and
leaves fewer of them to split up the
scattered daylight and send its blue
beams back TO the observers eyes.
1t will be easy and interesting for
any person to observe for himself the
variations in the color of the sky. Per-
haps new facts may thus be discovered
that men of science will be glad to
learn. y outh's Companion.

One wight named John, whose other
name means a little roll of rusl. re-
lates how he was born in humble
house in Brunswick Square and was
taken by his father to see Warwick
Castle. and being lad of uncommon
thought. he reflected that it was better
TO have been born in a humble house
John goes on to say, as their majes-
ties may not be aware, that it would
not have done the humble house in
Brunswick Square any good to have
had Warwick Castle pulled down. We
admit that our forbears were slightly
OF different mind so far as this land
was concerned. But they were minded
also that it is none OF our affairs to
tear down castles that are in other
lands, the same being entrusted by
heaven in its good time to the peoples
thereof.

Imprisoned I'm a Rottle.

Some time ago a druggist OF Put
nam. Conn, threw a lot of empty bot
ties into the back yard of his store.
and, recently, while he was strolling
there. he heard one bottle clinking
against the rest in a peculiar way.
The bottle rolled about as If it was be-
witched. The druggist picked up the
locomotive bottle, and was astonished
to see rat gallivauting inside it He
was big gray fellow. while the bot
tie nozzle is scarcely big enough to let
n man thrust his finger into it. The
rats body is more than three times
larger than the orifice, and the mys-
terry Is how did the rat get in the bot
tie The Druggist has placed the i'm
prisoned rat on the counter IN his
store, and scores of people inspect il
daily. II is the conjecture of a
scientific Putnam citizen. who is ia
miliar with the habits of rats, that it
crawled in the bottle when young.
and, since it is known that rats help
each other in tribulation, that the ami
malls mother has visited the bottle
daily and contrived to thrust food into
il. The rat appears to be in excellent
health, and apparently is happy and
contented.
