FACTS ARour COLOR.
The Eject on the Eye of Heating Any
Black Substance.

Tho Eject on the Eye of Heating Any
Black Substance.
We often speak of white heat and
"red heat" by which is meant the APP
pearance of bodies, such as masses of
iron, raised to different degrees of tenn
perature. A white-hot body is hotter
than red-hot one. But this distinc
tion may be carried further. Watch
ing an iron ball, for instance, as it's
temperature is gradually increased, we
may have it, successfully, in condi'
tion of "blaclS heat" when it will give
off no light except that which is re-
flected from it; of "red heat" when it
has begun to glow with a light of its
own; of yellow heat" when both the
temperature and the luminosity have
increased, and finally of white heat"
when it shines wildly and is intensely
hot.
1t will be noticed that these success
sive colors follow, as far as they go, the
order of the colors of the spectrum,
beginning at the red end. But they
start with black, which we say is the
absence of all color, and end with
white, which is called the combination
of all colors. And after reaching the
yellow, instead of going on and pre-
senting in succession green, blue, ETC.,
they jump, so to speak, to white.
One might suppose that when the
blue element was introduced, the three
primary colors being then present,
white light would be the immediate
result.
1t has recently been pointed out that
| there is yet one more visible step in
this procession of color representing
increase of heat. Between the black
and red stages there is a point where
the heated body first becomes visible by
its own light, and then presents faint
grayish tint.
| Now experiments have shown that
| this first sensation of light from body
| that is becoming luminous corresponds
with the sensation that produces the
color known as violet. When the SEN
sation is strong the impression of n
violet color is distinct, but when the
sensation is weak the color impression
is that of an indistinct gray; and by
| gradually decreasing the amount OF
| light every color in succession may be
caused to fade to grayish hue just be
fore the light completely disappears
A simple experiment partially illus
trating this may be made by any one
who will visit at twilight garden
filed with brilliant flowers. The RED
flowers will first lose their gorgeous
color as the light diminishes, and ther
the grass and leaves will appear gray
ish. The last flowers to part with
their distinctive color--white flowers
being left out of the account-will bt
the blue or violet ones. This fact il
useful to such insects as, in order t.
avoid their enemies, visit wild flowers
in the twilight.
The scientific conclusion based upoI
these curious facts about color is tina
the primitive sensation of light in tn,
eye is that which corresponds to violet

Maj Jackson" said confederate

eccentricities. He was genius in the
matter of military science. He also
taught other things, but lacked the
ability of imparting his own knowl-
edge, which was very great He was a
stern man, and believed in obeyiug
orders to the very letter. AS an illus
tration of his belief in the absolute
obedience of the letter of the order,
have heard n story told of an incident
that occurred during the Mexican war.
Maj. Jackson was then lieutenant of
artillery commanding a section COM
posed of two guns. In certain action
he was ordered to occupy a certain
position and open fire upon the enemy.
His two guns were started for the
place, which was very exposed, and be-
fore reaching it he saw that he could
not remain there ten minutes without
losing every horse and man he had.
At the same time he saw that by NOV
ing some three hundred yards away
his fire would be more effective. But
his orders to open fire must be obeyed,
So. reaching the designated position,
the two guns were fired. Then they
were llmpered up and moved to the
new position, and fire was opened il.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

warming up under the inspiration of
old memories, "that Stonewall jackson
was the greatest general that the war
produced, but do say that he was the
greatest military genius. His cam
paign in the valley of Virginia excelled
even the celebrated Italian campaign
of Napoleon. Napoleon had, for the
most part, well-equipped veteran
troops. The forces that Jackson
fought against were greater in proper
ton to his own numbers than Were
those of the enemies of Napoleon. His
enemies comprised well-equippe6
troops, and one army, at least-that OF
Shields-was composed almost entirely

the blade set at an angle is that, when
used as a rut scraper, it sweeps the
loosened earth sidewise TO some extent,
and thus fills up the ruts instead of
merely crowding the dirt forward.
