FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
BI.iSDERS.

-ev persons think OF the suffering
caused to horses from the use of blind
ers The horses eyes are placed on the
side OF the head. but the blinders, shut
ting off the side view, compel him to
look ahead. hence they must cause con-
slant strain and besides they act as re-
Electors, aud reflect the suns glare into
the animals sensitive eyes. Most people
know the painful effect on the eye Of q
ray OF sunlight from a mirror.
When close to the head, blinders cause
an unnatural heat which is injurious.
The horse is not SO likely to be fright
cned if be can see what is behind him.
In Russia, where blinders are never used
a shylng horse is aimos. unknown. Care,
| of course, should be used in taking them
off horses accustomed to them.-New

What the Skvls.

The sky is the clear atmosphere, ,,unob.
scured by clouds. Ito beautiful blue
color is supposed to be due to the wa.ery
vapor that is dissolved in it. There is
almost more or less of this vapor in the
atmosphere, the amount depending .o1
the temperature Of the air. At seventy
seven degrees 1000 cubic feet of air
holds in solution 1000 grains or over two
ounces Of water. This water has nat,lr-
ally blue color, inherent in it, and the
color is caused by the effect Of light.
But there is remarkable fact which ex-
plains why the color is SO intense, and
this is that it is due to the presence in
the air, and the vapor as we'll, of unac-
countable small PARTICLES Of dust floating
in the atmosphere. This dust is made
up OF almost every substance in exist.
ence, organic and inorganic, which in its
flne state Of division from various causes
has been carrie into the air end liffused
through it by the winds. Some of thi
matter is the product Of the decay OF or.
ganic matter, some comes from volcanoes
during eruptions, and some Of it is metc.
critic, and produced by the deconposi.
/ ton OF meteors in the atmosphere when
/ they are consumed as we see them a,
shooting stars, so callel. It is know i
that this atmospheric dust also exists in
water, and the refraction Of the light
from these innumerablc particles cthe
in water or air, or in this case here cx
planned in both Of these, greatly intensi-
fies the blue color. 1t is not ozone ia
the air that produced this color, for thi'
is nothing more than a mere form o
oxygen dissolved in the air, and so rare
in its condition that light has no effec'
upon it, but simply this atmospheric
moisture and the dust that is contained
in it and in the air. 1t is we'll know,
that the most intensely blue sky is seen
when the air is moist and has the mos
water dissol, ed in it, as when rain i,
about to fall or just after it has fallen
when the clearing sky is SO deeply blue
