ABSORPTION AND REFLECTION.
No Matter What Color the Water the
Foam VIII Be white.

No Matter What Color the Water the
Foam VIII Be white.
No one can have failed to notice that
the foam along the shore of the sea or
q lake is white No matter how deep
the blue of the water may be there is
the same whiteness of the froth at its
edge For that matter all foam is
white, says the Churchman. II the
blackest ink in the world is beaten
into foam the foam will be as white as
the froth of milk. The reason for this
Is that we see all objects by reflected
light. II they reflect all the rays they
appear white; If they absorb all the
rays they seem to be black. The ink
absorbs all the light and is black.
When 1t is beaten into froth the little
bubbles reflect all the light from their
surfaces-for their extreme thinness
makes them nothing but surface-and
thus they are white. For the same
reason any colored stone shows white
when it has been ground to powder.
Take the blackest marble and reduce
IL to small grains, and these will ap-
pear white, beca Sc their surfaces now
reflect all the light. If the polished
surface of the same marble be only q
little scratched, as with a ma il or drill
point, the effect will be light-colored
streak
One of the ways of testing stones
and minerals is to observe the color Of
the streak as compared with the
natural surface. If one watches the
water falling over the rock at Niagara
he may see it of an emerald green
near the upper part of the fall Much
the same effect is produced when
billows are just curving into breakers
on the beach directly in front of us. A
similar tint is seen in blocks of thick
Ice. The absorption and reflection of
light are the same under all these con-
ditions. Again, the froth at the foot
of the fall and that at the edge of the
sea is all of it equally white. So, too,
If we pound the ice into small parti-
cles, they will be as white as the
foam. The same point is illustrated
in the appearance of the tiny particles
of dew on the spiders web as com
pared with the larger drops suspended
from the tips of blades of grass. AL
| the more strikingly is the difference
seen if the cold has converted dew and
| water into frost and ice. The frost
| sparkles from the innumerable faces o.
it's crystals, while the ice shows uni
formly shining surface. Frost anC
snow are white because of the small.
ness of their PARTICLES and the great
number of their rejecting surfaces
All the light being reflected, they can
be only of this color.

Bismarck's Great Friend.

The late Baron Bleichroeder, who
was the acknowledged chief of the
Prussian banking world, was one of
the most remarkable of German mil
lionaires. He began life as the owner
of a small brokerage establishment.
One secret of his success was his genius
for using political events to promote
his ends. He was the banker of Ger
man unity. A London paper remarks
that Prince Bismarck used him not
only as political adviser and financier,
but in much the same miscellaneous
and semi-confidential and semi-con-
temptuous way that the princess and
mobiles Of Germany had been in the
habit of employing toward their court
Jews for centuries. Bleichroeder was
his anne damnee, his devoted and tactful
instrument in many diplomatic en-
terprise, his trustful and sober adviser
in scores of difficult crises. That his
role was far from being limited to
questions of finance has long been un-
derstood, and more than once glimpse
has been afforded the outside public Of
the wide ramifications Of his political
activity.

man to Defeat Vicious Legislation.
The longest speech on record is be-
ieved by the Pail Mall budget to have
been that made by Mr.. De Cosmos in
the legislature Of Brit:1h Columbia
when measure was pending the pas
sage of which would take from a great
many settlers their lands. De Cosmos
was In hopeless minority. The job
had been held back till the eve of the
close of the session. Unless legislation
was taken before noon Of given day
the act of confscation would fail The
day before the expiration of the limita-
ton De Cosmos got the floor about ten
q. m. and began a speech against the
bill. Its friends cared little, for they
supposed that by one or two o'clock he
would be through, and the bill could
be put on its passage. One o'clock
came and De Cosmos was speaking
still-had not more than entered upon
his subject Two o'clock came-he was
saying: "In the second place" Three
o'clock-he produced fearful bundle
Of evidence and insisted on reading It.
The majority began TO have a suspi-
cion of the truth; he was going to
speak till next noon and kill the bill.
For awhile they made merry over it,
but as it came on to dusk they began
to get alarmed. They tried Interrupt
tions but soon abandoned them, be-
cause each one afforded him chance
to digress and gain time. They tried
to shout him down, but that gave him
breathing space, and finally they set
tied down to watch the combat be-
tween strength of will and weakness
OF body. They gave him no mercy
no adjournment for dinner, chance to
do more than wet his lips with water,
no wandering from his subject, no sit
ting down. Twilight darlsened; the
gaH was lit; members slipped out to
dinner in relays and returned to sleep
In squads, but De Cosmos went on. The
speaker, to whom he was addressing
himself was alternately doing; snoring
and trying to look wide awake. Day
dawned and the majority slipped out
In squads to wash and breakfast, and
the speaker still held on. It cannot be
said that it was very logical, elo-
quent or sustained speech. There were
digressions in it, repetitions also. But
still the speaker kept on; and at last
noon came to a bahied majority, livid
with rage and impotence, and a single
man who was triumphant, though his
voice had sunk to husky whisper,
his eyes were almost shut and were
bleared and bloodGhot, his legs tot
tered under him. his blackened lips
were cracked and smeared with blood.
De Cosmos had spoken twenty-six
hours and saved the settlers their
lands

PETRIFIED SNAKES.
Wonderful Discovery in Mining Camp
Near Rockvale, Col.

Wonderrul Discovery In Mining Camp
Near Rockvale, Col.
One of the most startling finds ever
made in this section was unearthed the
other day at Rockvale, small mining
camp nine miles northeast of here.
The Santa Fe Coal company, which
has large mining interests at that
point, was excavating in the bottom of
a gulch for the purpose of putting in a
new track when a peculiar formation
was run into. The workmen stopped to
examine, and on digging around the
spot the strange thing was found to be
a perfectly formed snake twelve feet
in length, says the Denver News.
This find caused 50 much excitement
that the excavation was continued, and
at little distance another reptile was
uncovered, and on being dug out was
found to be twenty-four feet in length
and as thick through as mans body
and perfectly petrified.
This find caused still greater excite
ment, and all work was stopped to dig
for snakes. Another was soon struck
and is not yet uncovered. The reptiles
were found at depth of three feet.
Details are but meager so far, but a
large number of persons have visited
the find and say facts as stated are
true. No one can tell how many of the
petrified monsters will be found, but
no doubt there is nest of them.

More of Peary's Plans.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., May s9.-The steam
er Falcon leaves here June Is for Phila-
delphia, where she will take on board
the Peary exploring expedition to
Greenland. The expedition will con-
sist of sixteen persons, including Mrs.
Peary, who again faces the winter Arc
tic regions. Twelve persons will re-
main in Greenland, and the others will
return. The equipment includes houses,
a naphtha launch, dogs, and the dom
keys which were used in the first ex-
ploration. The party will remain in
the northern regions two winters and
conduct series of exploring expedi-
tions in Interior and North Greenland,
perhaps as far as the north pole. The
steamer, after landing, returns here in
September.

ONE BANE OF THE EAST.
Hasheesh, the Drug Which, When Long
Used, Results in Idiocy.

Has heesh, the Drug Which, When Long
Used, Results in Idiocy.
The word hasheesh has fascination
all it's own, and this fascination is nat
rally intensified by the general ig-
norance which prevails as to the subtle
workings of this strange and mysteri-
Gus vegetable composition, says the
Pail Mall Budget. At the latter end of
last year Lord Roseberry requested the
representatives of Great Britain in
Egypt, Greece and Turkey to report on
the regulations affecting the importa-
tion and sale of hasheesh, and these
reports have now been presented to
the houses of parliament This nox-
ious drug, which is 30 baneful in its re-
suits, is chiefly composed Of the husks
of the innocent hempseed, but which,
after its preparation, loses its inno-
cence and becomes one of the greatest
curses of the east. One report states
that hasheesh disturbs the functions
of the systems Of digestion and circula-
ton; that 1t Injuries the senses and
motive powers; that 1t disturbs the
cerebral functions. The report con-
tinues: The phantoms seen by, and
the tendencies manifested In, those
who are intoxicated with hasheesh
generally indicate the usual habits of
thought and moral character of the in
toxicated person, or the thoughts and
passions by which the man was pos
sessed on the day that he became in
toxicated, or at the moment in which
the symptoms Of poisoning began to
make themselves manifest. Persons
given to the use of hasheesh, who be-
come maniacs, are apt to commit all
sorts of acts of violence and murders.
Sometimes the intoXication impels the
person under its influence to suicide,
or the commission of acts forbidden by
morality. All authors are unanimous,
basing their opinion on numerous OBJ
servations among eastern peoples, that
the long use of the drug weakens the
body and causes atrophy, dulls the
mind and creates hypochondria, idiocy
and mania. Those who indulge in it
have a fixed look, without expression,
and an idiotic appearance. According
to statistical information obtained
from the lunatic asylums of Cairo and
Bengal the majority of the maniacs
and idiots became such from abuse of
hasheesh. In all the countries from
which the reports were received the
Importation, cultivation or sale of the
drug is forbidden.

TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
It Was Known to the Ancient Egyptians,
Syrians and Persians.

1t Was Known to the Ancient Egyptians,
Syrians and Persians.
TRANSMISSION of blood as practiced in
surgery is by no means a recent devel-
opment in science. Medical records
show it to have been known to the
Egyptians, Syrians and Persians. The
Pittsburgh Dispatch regards it as even
possible that the ancients were more
successful than the physicians of re-
cent periods. In the seventeenth CEN
tury SO many attempts We're made in
France, accompanied by so many fail
ures and fatalities, that the parliament
of Paris declared against it's legality
The experiments continued, however,
calf's blood being substituted for the
human. The results were not encour-
aging, the physicians not being aware
that the blood Of animals injected into
the veins of another belonging to q
different species acted as poison.
For two hundred years the ex-
periments were discontinued, and
then one day, some years ago,
the story Of the death of a young
medical student named Roman LIE
Golf, while trying to save the life of q
friend with his own blood, created a
great sensation. A street in Paris,
named after LIE Golf, commentaries
his brave act. By this time the medi-
cal men had learned that to be success
full the blood must neither be allowed
to coagulate, nor air suffered to enter
the veins with it. DR.. Roussel, Of Cen
eva, invented an apparatus which over
came both the above difficulties. Since
that time the experiments have been
continued with remarkable success.
Many lives have been undoubtedly
saved by it. An old employe of the
Theater Francois in Paris, named Dup
mitch, has given up his blood several
times to those in need of it, for which
he has been awarded magnificent
gold medal by the French government.

A CONCURRENT resolution was intro.
duced by Senator Miller Friday memori-
alizing congress on the subject of
granting the abandoned Fort Abraham
Lincoln for the site of a reform school.
This is in accordance with the report of
the trustees of the state reform school
for the present year. A bill for the
same purpose was introduced at the
last session of congress, but was not
passed, owing to the pressure of bust
ness. The at ate reform school has an
allotment of 10000 acres of land for it's
construction and maintenance, but the
lands have not yet come into the con-
troll of the board. 1t is to be hoped that
the dismantled barracks near Mandan
may be granted by congress aud an ap-
preparation made for the building of
this ~reformatory. If there is anything
needful in the state it is to have the
institution started and put in running
order.

REFERRING to the bill introduced
Monday creating the Office Of executive
agent for the selection and disposition
of school and university lands these
questions arise: Why not place all state
lands in the hands of one head of a state
land department? Why should qualifi-
cations he prescribed which would make
some of the sharpest, ehrewdest and best
qualified men in the state ineligible to
hold the office? Why is a civil engineer
necessary? AS to the disposition of
lands in the grazing districts of the
state, why not provide for the sale OF
these lands on fifty years time at 4 per
cent. interest, l per cent. to 90 into a
sinking fund to reduce the principal.
The lands would sell on those terms and
bring a constant evenue to the state
and add to it's wealth of live stock and
promote the happiness Of the people.

Mr.. McCANNA's bill regulating storage
on special bin wheat limits the charge
to 2 cents per bushel. The object of the
bill is to make it to the interest of the
elevators to send out the wheat instead
of holding it in order to accumulate
storage charges. 1t is charged that in
some instances the elevators have, under
the present law, failed to ship out the
farmers wheat, on plea of nc cars, when
IN fact cars we're received constantly to
ship the wheat purchased outright by
the elevators-thus forcing the farmers
to pay additional storage fees of l cent
a month.

from even the appearance Of scandal.
No candidate sought the support of the
members before they were elected. 1t is
doubtful if any member Of the legisla-
ture was solicited to support any candi-
date previous to his election, unless it
was his nome delegation, and some OF
the candidates did not even mention it
to their home delegation. At the con
ference at Fargo before the election Sen.
ator Hansbrough said: "I4et no man
ask who the member is for, whose f,ieno
he is or whose enemy. 1t is enough to
know that he is Il republican-and we
want "a republican Legislature and II
republican senator" Aud that is the
way all true republicans feel. The state
owes it to itself to elect a republican, and
the members owe it to themselves to pro-
tect themselves from insinuations of the
character mentioned.

ATTENTION is called to the proclama,
ton of Attorney General Standish,
which is published this morning. The
indications are that the attorney gen.
eral does not intend to fret and scold
a i d tell his deputies that they will hear
from him If they don't break up the
traffic, but he proposes to commence
dong business at once. Persons inter-
ested are reminded that in every in
stance the judges have punished where
the cases have been submitted, accom-
panied by proper proof. Any citizen
can make complaint and any citizen who
has knowledge a be compelled to
testify. TIE law is on our statute BOOKS;
it is a part of the constitution. 1t was
not made to be laughed at or ignored.
1t can be enforced. 1t is the opinion of
the new administration that it should
be. Then if 1t works injustice those in-
terested are in position to ask its repeal.

ONE of the most important bills of the
session is Mr.. McCanna's bill allowing
five days redemption on sales under
chattel mortgage. No section of the
state has suffered from the chattel mort.
gage fiend to the extent that the people
in Towner, Ramsey and Rolette coun-
ties have suffered. Cases can be cited
where more than the original debt has
been paid in interest and bonuses and
the property taken in at last on the
mortgage, and that, too, within four
years after the original loan was made,
and judgment taken besides for large
bills of cost. Highway robbery, punish
able by imprisonment for life, would be
respectable compared with some of the
things done by the holders of chattel
mortgages in that part of the state.
