The question as TO why all foam is
white is not an easy one TO understand,
but tho fact is that :oam is always
white, whatev 7 may ! e the color of the
beverage it elf. Tho froth produced on
q bottle of the blackest ini is Whit,
and would be perfectly so Were ii not
tinged 70 Il certain extent by PARTICLES
Of the liquid which the bubbles hold N
mechanical suspension.
As to the cause Of this Wilderness II is
sufficient TO say that il is due to thu
large number OF rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam; for il is these sur
fa"es which, by rejecting The light,
produce upon our eyes the impression of
white.
If we remember that all bodies owe
their colors TO the rays Of light which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies which
reflect all TIE light they receive, with
out absorbing any, appear perfectly
white. we shall b. prepared to under
stand how the multitude of reflectin z
surfaces formed by the foam. and which
do not absorb any light, must neces-
sarily give the froih a white appear

Secretary Carlisle, according t,


Secretary Carlisle, according to Wash
ington advices, brought up the PROPOSE
ton OF the New York bankers to sup
ply, under certain conditions. the Treas
ury Derartm, Mt with gold at the
Cabinet meeting Tuesday. 1t was
thoroughly discussed and finally re-
ierted. What this proposition was is
not known, as Secretary Carlisle de-
clined To make its terms public. 1t was
not considered advantageous to the
Government. This was the elimination
OF several propositions submitted, one
of which Was declined last Satur-
day. A counter proposition was then
made by the bankers to the Secretary OF
the Treasury, which was received last
Monday. This was also rejected, and
in turn the Secretary submitted a pro, O.
sition TO them which they also refused
TO accept All negotiations, therefore,
between the Treasury Department and
the New York bankers are off, at least
for the present. and Secretary Carlisle
will look in other directions to continue
to replete the Treasury gold. The ad-
ministration does not desire to issue
bonds and will not do so except as a
last resort.
