ABSORPTION AND REFLECTION.
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
& lake is white. No matter how deep
the blue of the water may be there is
the same wilderness of the froth at it's
edge. For that matter all foam is
white, says the Churchman If the
BLACKLIST 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. If 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 it 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 blacklist marble and reduce
it 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
little scratched, as with ma il or drill
point, the effect viii be light-colored
strsk.
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
pillows are just cJIving into breakers
on the beach directly in front of us. A
similar tint is seen in blocks of thick
ice. The absorption and rejection 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,
il 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. All
the more stri1ingly is the difference
seen if the cold has converted dew and
water into frost and ice. The frost
sparkles from the innumerable faces of
its crystals. while the ice shows a uni
for-nly shining surface. Frost and
snow are white because OF the small
ness of their particles and the great
number Of their rejecting surfaces.
All the light being reelected, they can
be only of this color

ANOTHER INJUNCTION.
Some Trouble Brewing Among the County
Commissioners.

GOmm1SBlOu6IB,
For some time past things have not
been quite so harmonious in the county
commissioners court as an old fashion
Methodist camp meeting. On several
occasions things have occurred, small
in themselves, but yet of sufficient i'm
portance to indicate that a fire was
smouldering and liable to break out at
almost any minute. Matters have
now been brought to climax and
some very interesting developments
are looked forward to within the next
few days. For something over year
past a portion of the county road force
has been kept constantly at work in
Commissioner Browns precinct. At
the meeting of the court on Monday it
was decided by a majority vote to
divide the road force, and place por-
ton of it in Commissioner Thorp's
precinct and the balance in Commits
sioner PAGES precinct. Major Brown
voted against the resolution and in
formed the court that he intended
to resist any attempt to so dispose of
the force.
Yesterday afternoon he was in con-
sultation with Mr.. n. A. Rector, draw
ing up petition for an injunction
restraining the carrying out of the
resolution. 1t is understood that his
claim for the further use of the force is
mainly based on the following section
of the road laws of the state:
Sec. 6. The commissioners court
shall see that the road and bridge
fund of their county is judiciously and
equitably expended on the roads and
bridges of the county and as nearly as
the condition and necessity of the
roads will permit. 1t shall be eXpend-
in each county commissioners pre-
cinct in proportion to the amount COL
lected in such precinct; and in eX-
pending money in building permanent
roads, the money shall first be used
only on first or second class roads and
on those which shall have the right of
way furnished free of cost to make as
straight road as practicable to OBJ
tain and having the greatest bonus
offered by the citizens OF money, labor,
or other property.
To prove his claim to the force
under the above section he yesterday
called on Tex Assessor Metz for some
figures which had to be taken from
the tax rolls of1892, as the rolls for the
present year have not yet been COM
pleted. According 10 the figures fur
nisheG, Commissioner Browns pre-
cinct has three-fifths of the tax payers
of the county in it and of the total
county and poll tax for 1892, amount
ing to $81 ST. IS, Major Browns con-
stituents paid over $4,000 of it.

THE PEOPLE rs THE HOUSE OF
LORDS

1t is interesting to watch that evolu-
ton whose end is complete revolu-
ton in ideas. The brief sentence
the house of lords overwhelmingly
defeated the Irish home rule bill last
week-contains more food for thought
than tie careless imagine. The idea
of home rule has been conception of
very long growth. The Pilgrim
fathers planted its seed on this CONT
nent centuries ago. The fruit bios
somed into complete maturity when
the war of the revolution baptised our
eastern shore in blood. The constitu-
ton of the United States stamped the
idea with the great seal OF our rising
republic and since then the search
light of this truth Of sound govern
mental fern has penetrated almost
every dark spot in the world. Home
rule, local self government, a govern
ment of, by and for the people, these
are the ideas that have been growing
in Europe Tor century. Inc leaVen
the United States set to working will
vet leaven the civilized globe.
But it is of Irish home
rule we would especially speak.
The growth of the idea
in England has been very slow but
very steady. The mercurial charac-
ter of the Irish people, their apparent
lack of self control in emergencies,
has not been one OF the least of the
causes that have initiated against it.
But the strongest has been England's
repugnance to surrender any, the least,
1.-THE of her centralized power. But
into this repugnance years of thought
and earnest advocacy have made a
great opening, until under the leader

stone, the people of England, through

as long as they zee fit. 1t is their bus
mess only and no one else has any
interest in it. This article is written
simply to point out the interdepend-
ence of business interests. Cotton was
chosen as the best illustration,
because it is just now the
chief means of liquidating debts
among ourselves and of bringing
new money into the state. But the
rule holds good all along the line. II
every one would only think to be con-
stantly turning the glass SO that ne
could get full view of not only those
who owe him, but also those whom lie
owes, we think business would move
along much smoother and there would
be less occasion for elimination and re-
elimination. Let US all make de-
termined effort to look on the other
side of every question.
