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-
fected than the 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
or in the projected waves always being
polarizcd in certain direction, fact
which proves that they are quite indie
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 rs violet,
but as long as present conditions exist
the 'vaulted canopy above us" will be
in blue colors of varying shades and de-
grees of intensity. -St Louis Republic.

On one occasion at Bournemouth Prin.
cess Maud went into a shoe store and
purchased Il pair of rubbers, or, as the
English call them, "galoches. The
storekeeper was little abrupt, and as
the rubbers were inexpensive he declined
to send them home. The princess &C.
cordingly carried the parcel herself, but
within few minutes she was met by
one of her suit in search of her, and the
dismay of the churlish tradesman when
he heard who his customer had been can
well be imagined. He had, however, the
cool impertinence to place theroyal arms
with the crest of the Prince of Wales
feathers above the shop window and in
scribed in large letters on the plate glass,
''Patronized by Her Royal Highness the
Princess Maud" This 30 Disguised her
little highness that she had special in
junction served on the man, which re-
suited in his taking the arms, etc., down.

Awonderfui Ma.todon.

Buffalo, N. ", Aug. 27.-The
SHELTON of a mastodon was unearthed
yesterday on the farm Of Gerry Nuyck,
near Sheridan, Chautauqua county. A
Swedish laborer dug up tooth, and
Postmaster Fred Shelly Immediately
set men at work excavating for the
rest Of the skeleton. He has been very
successful, and almost all of the skele-
ton has been placed together in Gerry
Nuyck's barn.
1t measures FIVE feetsix inches across
and is in an excellent state of preserva-
ton. One of the teeth, all of which
are in perfect condition, has high
polish, weighs just four pounds and
measures seven inches in one direction.
The rest of the teeth are not much
smaller.
The monsters tusks were found near
together, the tops being about 10 inches
below the surface. What is left of
them is four feet long.
The only other mastodon ever found
in this state was discovered near James
town some years ago. 1t is believed
that the one just found must have
measured Is or IS feet in length and
nearly as much in height. Local sci
entists propose to make thorough ex-
animation of the adjacent region.
1t has been announced that the Ver-
mont Farmers Advocate has been trans
ferred to stock company, capitalized
at $4,000. DIR. Hoskins will be edi-
tor-in-chief assisted by prominent agri-
culturists Of the state. G. w. Scarf of

is to be increased to l6 pages. The

A Cure For Rheumatism.

A well known member of the bee.
keeping fraternity has been lecturing in
Northumberland on that particular form
Of small industry to which he has de-
voted himself, and in the course of his
address he dwelt not merely on the finan
cial but the hygienic advantages Of
bee culture. He informed his audience
that he was the father Of twelve chill
dren, all living, and ascribed this fact te
the liberal use of honey as an article Of
diet, adding that he gets good deal more
money from the local doctor for honey
than the doctor gets from him for medi
cine.
More than that, he has derived another
personal advantage from keeping bees
in his complete freedom from rheuma
tism, from which he previously suffered
and has no doubt that this pleasing i'm
munity is entirely due to the beneficial
influence of bee stings. We have heard
of people fagellating themselves with
nettles, but the beauty of the bee cure il
that there is no necessity for any exer
ton on the part of the patient. West
