Science ard Soar Bubbles.

Why IS it that the colors of soap
hubble change as the film gradually
alters in thickness? Another cause
of color is here involved--that OF in.
terfcrence. If n stone be thrown into
a smooth pond circular wave is pro-
duced, gradually widening toward the
edge of the pond; if second stone
~bo thrown into the pond q second
wave will be produced, which will in
duence the iirst.
If the stones are dropped in stimuli
taueously at the same spot the waves
will Just be doubled in hight; and if
the second stone he thrown in exactly
n wave length behind the first the same
effect will be observed. If, however,
the second stone be thrown into the
water exactly half wave length be-
hind the first tho motion of the wave
will be destroyed.
Similarly with light; whon light i'm
pignes on the soap bubble part of it
is reflected from the exterior surface,
and part enters the film and is reflect.
ell from the interior surface.
This latter portion trayerses the
water medium between the two sur.
faces twice, and is therefore kept be-
hind the irst reflected ray. The two
sets Of waves interfere with each 9TH
er, and produce colorod light instead
ola white light. Other waves, again,
may destroy each other and extin-
guish the light.

the impigning white light-formed by
their passage through the fim--inter-
fere 80 as to destroy each other, while
Others remain unaffected. As the Aim
diminishes in thickness, the colors
must necessarily vary.
in this way is accounted for the
marvellous variety of beauty and col

DELICIOUS SANDWICHES.

The bread for sandwiches should al
way be one day old at least, and must
be sliced very thin. The butter
should be soft enough to spread with
out crumbling the loaf, and the slice
should be spread before it is cut from
the loaf. Slices of rye bread buttered,
spread thinly with mustard and then
with cottage cheese are very palata-
BILE. For egg sandwiches beat your
eggs to paste after they have been
hard boiled. There should be little
cream added to them to make the
mixture smooth, and it must be sea-
soned to taste,
Fish sandwiches may be made from
any kind of fish. Whatever it is

little melted butter or salad dressing

salad dressing, on which are laid
water-cresses or a crisp leaf of lettuce,
is a most welcome addition to a sum.

are sandwiches made with jellies and

TO IMPROVE porAroEs.

Potatoes may be soaked in cold
water for twelve or more hours before
being cooked, and will be improved
rather than injured, but if they stand
in a little moisture even for ten
minues after they are cooked, they
are spoiled. The potato is composed
largely of starch The uncooked
starch does not unite with moisture
like a sponge. A good potato will be
light and mealy as soon as it is baked
or boiled, but il the cooking is con.

reapers stand in the field all the year
round. Plows are left in the furrow
the whole winter long. Wagons are

wood left out of doors for any length
of time will decay. He knows also
full well that iron will rust. Paint is

rain and wind, are most powerful
agents in the destruction of farm i'm
