THE BLUE OF THt HEAVENS.
1t is Pretty Thin. Not Exceeding Five
Miles IN Height.


People imagine that all the beyond
is light, and that they might rise away
from the earth up and ever up. always
surrounded and overhung by the gor-
geous canopy of blue which fills the
dullest nature with supreme satisfac-
ton of bright. sunny morning. The
blue of heaven has been the theme of
poetic literature ever since the world
began or shepherds tended sheep on
the hillsides. As matter of fact the
blue we see is only an inch deep when
compared with the earth. 1t is not of
the sky or of infinite space, but of the
air we breathe that is blue. A
small portion of air is colorless,
but when we look out through
.forty-fve miles of it, we have the
heavenly blue. which is its distinct
color. Anyone who has assembled five
miles above the earth's surface and has
looked heavenward remembers that
the sky appears of a dark inky hue,
and the higher one might 30 the
blacker would become the surrounding
space. until utter darkness would en-
velop one at the height Of thirty-eight
miles. This darkness results from
the lack Of reflection and dispersion Of
light. At the height even of FIVE miles
one NAV look down and observe that
the blue is below and not above. as at
the bottom. Still the blue is just as
beautiful as before. and since we live
under it we may well afford TO enjoy
it-St. Louis Globe-Democrat
