Luminous Paint.

Nearly every one has heard of l1l-
minous paint-the sulrhide of calcium
but it is probable that comparatively
few persons know much about the be-
havior Of this interesting compound.
When Of good quality it is quite white,
as seen by reflected light, but the light
that is emitted by it in the dark, i'm
mediately after exposure to the direct
rays of the sun, is cutie blue, and the
emitted light is of lavender hue
directly after subsection to the action
of ordinary diffused daylight Both of
these colors, however. in a dark room
rapidly fade into white light that is
more luminous A greater luminosity
is produced by a short >a:nd near ex-
posture to an ordinary artificial light,
or by being placed near a window,
about sunset on rainy day. The direct
rays of a bright. full moon, falling on
it for several minutes. have very little
effect, making it barely visible in a
dark room. After ten seconds expos
ure to goods diffused daylight, which
is as effective as an exposure of ten
siderable light for ten or twelve hours,
and it's luminosity will not entirely dis
appear in less than thirty hours. This
great difference in the time required for
the absorption and emission of light
is quite remarkable. and it makes it
seem as if the light emitted were many
times greater than that absOrbed.-NeW

7 once asked an Apache to show me
the different ways of making smoke
signals. He gathered a lot Of dry
grass and laid it in a pile and then
placed near 1t about three times as
much green grass and leaves. Going to
patch of pinion pine trees near by
he secured two bundles of wood. One
bundle contained dry wood and the 9th
er was composed of pitch pine knots.
Taking off his blanket and leggings
he searched about among the rocks and
:founr two suitable nieces Of flint. He
had matches. but wished to show me
how it could be done when a man was
about destitute. Taking some dry
grass and pitch pine splinters he care
fully struck his hints until spark
ignited the inhaurmable substance and
a small blaze appeared. Gradually he
fed this blaze with the dry grass until
a considerable fire was burning, sending
up a thin column of blue smoke that
could scarcely be seen by those who
might be watching for such a signal.
When the column had satisfied him
he threw a bunch of the green grass
upon the fire. almost choking it out.
The result was seen in a dense column
Of grayish white smoke that rose high
in the air. Letting this burn for some
minutes, it changed again to the thin
md ho
dry wood that he had brought from the
brown column that was mingled with
almost pure white. Now, taking some
more Of the green grass with his pitch
pine wood he produced a smoke that
was perfectly black and dense, rising in
column that could be seen for miles,
Having thus shown the different colOrs
he took his leg,gings and began tanning
the smoke, causing it to veer and per-
form peculiar indescribable gyrations.
When the variations had been made in
sufficient number he dropped the leg
gins and took up his blanket. Holding
it by the upper corners he defltly cov-
cred the fire, compile telv checking the
smoke. BY holding the edges to the
ground he imprisoned a considerable
Quantity of the smoke. and then sud-
denly released it bv withdrawing the
blanket. Then he as suddenly checked
it again, and so repeated the operation
several times, sending the smoke up in
little taloon shaped clouds. sometimes
making them large and so close to-
gether that they had the appearance Of
4 string Of black beads as they rose
in the air. He now changed the course
of the balloons and sent one. this way
and the next one that until it looked
as if he had several fires going at once
From the one fire counted more than
twenty signals from the different colors
and shapes.-Philade]Dh Times.
