Tho Color Of Water.

What is the color of pure water. Al
most any person who has no special
knowledge OF the subject will reply at
once: 1T has no color" Yet every.
body knows, either through hearsav
or by the evidence of his own eyes,
that the ocean is blue. Why the
ocean looks blue is q question tina,
few who have crossed it have ever
sought to solve. and there are, prob
ably, many travellers who. though
they have seen most of the famous
rivers and lakes in the world, have
failed to notice the remarkable differ.
cnce in color which their waters pre-
sent.
Even tho ocean is not uniform in
color; in some places its waters are
green or even yellowish. Some lake,
are distinctly blue; others prescn;
various shades Of green, so that in
some cases they are hardly distiu-
guishablc from their level. grass.
covered banks; few are almost black.
The cause OF the difference in the
color Of lakes and rivers has engaged
the atteation Of many celebrated in
vestigators OF nature. absolutely pure
water when seen in masses OF sufficient
thickness is blue, and all tho varieties
Of color exhibited in lakes and streams
arise from the presence in the water
of mineral salts OF different degrees OF
solubility and vary ing quantities.
Water containing carbonate OF lime
in IL st tie of almost complete solution
remains blue, but il the solution is
less complete the water will have "a
tinge OF green. which will grow strong
err as the point OF precipitation is APP
preached. Ii lime is added to blue
water in which so much carbonate OF
lime is already dissolved that the
point OF saturation is approached, the
water will become green. In proof OF
this he cites the fact that the waters
near the shores OF lakes and seas,
where it comes in contact with lime
stone, is generally OF greener hue
than elsewhere.

Or course there are more vicious.
bad. dishonest men in the world now
than ut any former period OF its history.
because its aggregate population is
larger than ever. but that vice and
crime have increased propor,ionatcly
10 by no means demonstrable. The
fact Is that great prominence is usual
~ given to the misdeeds OF men. and
being continually cc:.ronted by the
record OF these things. we are almost
unconsciously led to believe that the
world is going headlong to the bad;
while tho good deeds which are per-
formed are not brought SO prominently
or SO constantly to public notice.

has now turned his attention to things

wept that they could not eat six meals

The stage effect with his own stage trimmings, added warmth to the entertainment that pleased. All of his tricks were good, especially his basket trick which IS done out on the edge of the stage instead of in the back part as is 80 oiJen the case with amateurs.
 His spirit rapping, taking three cages and as many cansFies from hat of one Of the audience, shooting doves out an omelet and hundreds of other amusing deceptions kept the audience in continual good humor.
 The prizes given to holders of tickets wac an interesting part Of the show. A Mexican packed of sack of flour, L. Vidal took home ham, Chas. Bacigalupi shonldered a side of bacon, Kieke took back to his store a bottle of pickles. Phil Hart captured a pair of corsets, Jim Allison won an elegant parlor lamp, Mrs. Chenowith drew a water set. while dressing cases, table covers, silk handkershieis, etc, went all over the house.
