What Smoke Consists o..

Smoke consists OF minute PARTICLES
OF solid or liquid matter suspended
in the air, and its color depends
partly upon the chemical constitu,
ents of such particles, but also
largely upon their size. Exact exPe-
riment has shown that as the size OF
minute particles suspended In dir in.
gradually increased they rise to coll,
ors varying from sky blue down
through the whole range Of the spec
trail scale. This is the cause of sun.
set and sunrise 'olors in the sky. Its
effects can be traced in the case OF
the two kinds OF tobacco smoke modi-,
fled by the nurky tints of the car-.
bonaceous products. The smoke
given of from the heated surface OF
the burning tobacco in the bowl Of
the pipe consists OF matter, all Of
which has been highly heated and
very fully oXidized and decomposed.
1t consists mainly of exceedingly
small solid PARTICLES, exhibiting by
virtue OF their smallness a blush
color. On the other hand, that
smoke which has been drawn through
the tobacco into the mouth OF the
smoker carries with it a relatively
larger quantity Of water and hydro
carbon, which are condensed upon
the solid particles above mentioned.
The relatively large size OF such par.
ticles explains the we.l-known gray.
ish color of the smoke which issnes
from the mouth OF the smoker!

Some authorities say that tbs
prices Of nickel and silver will event.

that nickel Is more useful, is scarcer,
and Is not SO readily produced, and
that as silver Is used more as q
symbol OF wealth its value in that di-
rection will gradually depreciate. In
such an event there IL long road,

A QUEER CHARACTER.
Incidents In the Career o. the "Mest
Eccentric Man In Portugal"


It was In the House OF Deputies at
Lisbon, many years ago. There had
been a debate on the budget, and In
the excitement, many bitter words
had been spoken. Among the speak.
ers In opposition to the Ministry was
Vicompte Antonio de Soto Major,
known ut the til, e as the most eccen.
trio man in Portugal, and one Of the
cleverest. In the course OF his speech
he Ind attacked the Ministry SO
severely that the President OF the
House called him to order several
times, and ut last withdrew from him
the privilege OF the floor.
The Vicompte left the chamber for
a few minutes, and then returned to
his seat. Rising to his feet, he drew
two pistols from his pocket, placed
them on the desk In front OF him,
and then demanded recognition.
1.-THE first pistol here" he began,
us for you, Mr.. President, II you
dare to call me to order again. The
second Is for that colleague who dares
to interrupt me-"
He was known to be a man Of his
word, and the astonished House list.
ened to him In silence.
The Vicompte died u few days ago
In Stockholm, where he had been
Portuguese Minister for many years.
He was born in 1892, and was men,
Der OF one OF the wealthiest and most
aristocratic families In Portugal. He
began active life as a cavalry officer,
but resigned from the army after
marrying Spanish woman as wealthy
as himself. They took up their resi-.
dencc In Paris, but lived in such
manner that their fortunes were soon
gone. In the tiftics the Vicompte
returned to Lisbon practically PENN.
