Color and warmth.

The color of materials has some in
fiuence on the warmth Of the clothing.
Black and blue absorb heat freely from
without, but white aud light shades OF
yellow, etc, are far less absorbent.
This difference can be demonstrated by
experiment. The same material, when
dyed with different colors, will absorb
different amounts of heat. In hot coun-
tries white coverings are universally
worn, and sailors and others wear white
clothing in hot weather.
With regard, however. to heat given
off from the body the color of the ma
terials used as clothing makes little il
any difference. Red flannel is popn-
larry supposed to be warm, though it is
no better in this respect than similar
materials of equal substance, but white
or gray in colcr. Dark clothing is best
for cold weather, because it more freely
absorbs any heat that is obtainable.--

If this appear doubtful tale, it can be
varied with the following about young

Recently she requested each pupil to

love. The lads needed the request and
in turn recited their verses bearing upon
that popular subject, such as Love

reading Of the Bland seigniorage bill.
In doing so, he stated to the senate, and

there was one question which should
take precedence over this, and without
any breach of confidence, he could state
that the finance committee was on the
verge of reporting the tariff bill to the
senate. He therefore objected to further
proceedings on the seigniorage bill and
under that objection it would have to go
