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 its 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-
fiected than tho long waved red ones.
Lord Raleigh has proved that the blue
in the light reflected from what we call
1.-The sky" is four -fifths 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

polarized in certain direction. fact
which proves that they are quite indie
pendent of the turbid particles which
are continually floating i'll the atmos-
phere Astronomers say that they can
see where slight changes would cause
the wave lengths to reflect as violet.
but as long rs present conditions exist
the "vaulted canopy above us" will be
in blue colors of varying shades and de-
grees of intensity.-St. Louis Republic.

lnfianimable Iron.

The fact that iron III very finely
divided state. when exposed TO the Mt
mosphere. may oxidize SO rapidly as to
practically take fire is pretty generally
known.
The circumstance is brought to mind
by q newspaper waif reporting All Incl
dent of the Alexandria bombardment in
Egypt dozen years ago. A shell be-
longing TO one Of the English ships had
passed into house without exploding,
and the residents subsequently request
ed the removal of the unwelcome guest.
A number Of men were accordingly
sent ashore, and after some considera-
tion as to the best plan to be pursued in
removing the dangerous missile feath-
er bed was procured and the shell firm
ly enveloped in il. 1t was then careful
ly rolled down stairs and was probably
thrown into the sea To show, how
ever, that this was by no means con-
vincing evidence that its dangerous
properties were destroyed the case was
cited Of an iron shell which had laid
under water for about 200 years. and
which. when brought to the surface,
was SO completely honeycombed by the
sea water and presented metal in SO fine
n state Of division that, to the horror Of
the surprised finder. it gradually steamed
fiercely and became redhot
From this it was argued rs not at all
improbable that similar occurrence
might take place with the shell Of the
later period. and that if. in after years.
it should be found and brought to the
surface its finder might be surprised in
much the same way.-Cassier's Maya

Fiddled For Snakes 20 Dance.

their ncighbors The man went once a
month to the country store that was
near by to make necessary purchases.
Things went on this way until some
hunters. overtaken by storm late one
afternoon, We're forced to seek refuge in
his cabin. The rain continuing unabat-
ed, they were forced TO remain into the
night.
After supper the Italian got down his
fiddle and began to play low and plaint-
lively. In short while a huge rattle
snake appeared upon the hearth, then
another and another, until no less than
seven wriggling serpents were in sight.
The hunters We're terribly alarmed. but
De Novo bade them be quiet and watch.
The snakes seemed filled with the wild
est ecstasy. If the music was low and
soft. they would move in graceful curves
like the mazcs of the waltz; if il was
loud and quick. their movements were
quick. At all times they kept the most
perfect time. If the music ceased. they
would rush from sight. but would re-
turn Immediately upon its resumption.
Numbers visited the Italian to witness
this sight.
Lately De Novo died. After the bur
ial the woman sold out and returned to
her native country. the cabin was torn
down. and the rattlers disappeared.

extensive preparations for the Sabbath even
ing s~tereopticon addresses to be given by
Assistant Pastor Rev. J. Lester Wells. On
the York street side of the church, over the

Mr.. Theo. L. Parker of the trustees has
purchased several hundred large palm leaf
fans to distribute to the evening audiences,
With these fans, ald the fact that the blazl
ing gas jets of the Tabernacle will be turned
out, it is thought no place will be so coohas

The arrangements are that the stefeopticon
addresses will be proceeded with a fifteen min
utes' song service led by Prof. John c. G%illies,
and that the whole service will not exceed
one hour. A full corps of ushers will
endeavor to seat the people comfortably SO
as to see the beautiful pictures to advan-
tage.
The subject next Sabbath will be "Heathen
Temples" The most famous heather tenn
pies with their idols will be projected on the
large screen. Hymns also will be sung by
all. The Rev. Mr.. Wells, in addition to the
regular subject, will put UPON the screen
pictures of local interest each evening.
Children are admitted if they have their
parents or guardians with them and wheel

TELLING TIME BY CATS EYES.

1t is supposed that cats can see i'll the
dark. In a moderate light the pupil of the
eve of the cat is small and of an oval shape,
and in the bright glare of the sun at midday
it becomes narrow, but in the dark it be-
comes round and full, and is so expanded
that it nearly fills the surface of the eyeball.
The Chinese and some of the negro tribes in
Africa often examine the eyes Of their pets
in order to ascertain the time of the day.
Some of the East Indies can tell you very
near the time of the day by this means.
When Able Hue, a French Jesuit priest,
travelled in China and Chinese Tartary. he
mentioned the f~ollowing:-0n asking his at
tendant the time of the day he Immediately
went over to the cat that was basking in the
sun, and, after examining its eyes, told the
Able that it was about two hours after
noon, and on being questioned how he knew
that, he explained that the pupils of the eyes
were largest in the morning and that they
gradually grew smaller as the light in
creased, until they reached their minimum
at noon: that then they began to widen
again, till at night they became large
