The Blue of the Sky.

The explanation of the blue of the sky is not to be sought in the fact that the atmosphere itself is blue, but rather in the fact that air or it's constituent particles reflect the wave lengths. which are readily refrangible, and let the less refrangible long waved rays pass through. The short waves of light-the blue color-are much more strongly re- fected than the long waved red ones. Lord Raleigh has proved that the blue in the light reflected from what we call "the sky" Is four-ff times stronger than the yellow and six-sevenths times stronger than the red Even the violet is six-eighths times stronger than the yellow and nine-tenths times stronger than the red These relations of inten- sity must therefore. necessarily cause the rejected light to appear blue.
 The blue of the sky is also peculiarly connected with the phenomenon known as the polarization of light, that col or in the projected waves always being polarized in certain direction, a fact which proves that they are quite inde- pendent of the turbid particles which are continually floating in the atmos phere. Astronomers say that they can see where slight changes would cause the wave lengths to reflect as violet, but as long as present conditions exist the 'vaulted canopy above us" wsli be in blue colors of varying shades and de- grees of intensity.-St Louis Republic.

A bright Washington woman has just
made a discovery. For some seasons she
has been in the habit in summer of car-
rying a parasol to keep the sunbeam
from her head, and she has been won-
dering of late why it was that she
seemed to be just as warm when she
raised her shade as when she forgot 80
and allowed it to remain unopened
The other day she was walking along
Pennsylvania avenue, and acting upon
the impulse of her habit she raised her
parasol as soon as she emerged from
store. Then she noticed that her breath
ing was difficult and that her face was
burning. Suddenly it dawned upon her
she had noticed this before, and she set
to work to reason out the cause. For
time she pondered, growing warmer
with each step, until she moved iu the
shade of a tree and snapped her paraaoI
into its folded state. In "a moment bier
face was bathed with fresh, cool air.
and she was immensely relieved. 10
then flashed across her that she had been
unconsciously iInprisoning all the hot
air rising from the sidewalks and aa-
phalt pavements beneath the domelik8
top of her shade, which, instead of act
ing as a protector, as intended was
reallyserving as a hood to surround her
face with the hottest atmosphere Of the
street As long as she held her parasol
up the air had no chance to circulate.
and this was the more uncomfortable be-
cause she persisted in holding it quite
low. So she experimental, and as "a re-
suit found that she was really more
comfortable when she walked with her
parasol folded than when she opened Sc,
and now she has quite tabooed that dainty
article except as a means Of defense
against dogs and COWS and other wild
beasts. w Washington Star.

The handle is perhaps the most Curl
