THE BUBBLES BRILLIANCY.
A Scientific Explanation of the Presence
of Bright COlOrN.

When light impinges on the soap bub-
bic part of it is reflected from the exterior
surface, and part enters the film and is
reflected from the interior surface This
latter portion traverses the water me-
dunn between the two surfaces twice,
and is therefore kept behind the first re-
fected ray. The two sets of waves inter-
fere with each other, and produce
colored light, instead of a white light.
Other waves, again, may destroy each
other and extinguish the light. Some of
the constituent colors of the impinging
white light-formed by their passage
through the tilm-interfere so as to de-
stroy each other, while others remain I'M
affected. AS. the film diminishes in thick
ness, the colors necessarily vary, In this
way is accounted for the marvellous
beauty of 'colors in the soap bubble, the
iridescence of oil upon the water the
changing color of steel when being tenn
pered and the gaudiness of some insects

mothers of those who fell in the struggle,
or who have since gone peacefully over
the river These are the benefciaries to
whom the bounty of the government Is so
literally extended and who will say they
do not abundantly deserve it?
yes the sum is great, but the cause
was great also. We are, Mr.. Chairman,
still too near the field of strife to compre-
bend the fullness of its greatness.
But generations hence, when the last
survivor of the late struggle shall have
passed away, and all bitterness and dis,
appointment shall have subsidized, and
there shall be nowhere III the land either
victor or vanquished, and the great civil
war shall be seen only in the mellow light
of history, then shall the work performed
by these men in preserving the union ap-
pear greater than ever, all the time bear
ing Il rich harvest of peace and prosperity.
And in that day the Republic will have no
stronger bulwark of defense than the
inspiring influence of the proud record,
now for a brief period partially arrested,
but which she is determined to make,
and will yet surely make, in tenderly
caring for every one of her defenders,
their widows and orphans and dependent
ones" prolonged applause on the Re

The Sun on Free Ships

The New York Sun is unwilling to sur
render all the industries of this country to
foreign manufacturers, and therefore 1t
declares that the free ship bill, intro
duced into the House by Representative
Fithian of Illinois, is merely another ex-
preston of the fool-born idea that the
way for this country to regain its former
commanding position on the seas is to
close up every American shipyard. The
Sun then says: An industry important
in time of peace, Indispensable in case of
war, glorious i'll its traditions both OF
war and peace, is to be stifled out of eX-
istence in order that the United States
flag may decorate the constructions. OF

Thus 4 deficit of nearly $4,000. 900 re-

worst showing made by the federal treas

revenue was from customs, where the de-
cline for twelve months reached the re-
markable total of over ST. 100000. No
such slump in revenue was ever before
experienced by the government. During
the five years of business depression from
1913 TO 1873 the revenue from customs fell
off only about $70,000,O00, or to a less
extent than for one year just past; while
the decline in internal revenue was mere
" nominal, against decline during the
last year of about 100000. The shock
of the panic was tremendous But it was
not all panic which produced effects so
striking. The promise of tariff reductions
had a profound influence. 1t at once led
to a curtailment of importations, and as

us during the week that there were

realize how much they offend, in what's
to them thoughtless pleasure. People,
who have decorated and beautified
their cemetery lots with choice shrub
berry and flowers, do not want these
evidences of love and respect for de-
parted friends pulled to pieces and de-
stroyed. An offense of this kind is a
crime at law and the children should
be taught to have little more care as
to where they gather flowers.
