THE Work OF DUST. has
a very large share in nearly oil the
phenomena Of the earth's atmos-
phere. 1t is what makes the clear
sky appear blue, and when we look
up into the sky we see the dust in
the atmosphere illuminated by the
sun. There is nothing else before
US that can permit the light to
reach the eye. Light goes invisi-
BILE, straight through all gases,
whatever their chemical compost
ton. The dust catches it, reflects
it in every direction, and so causes
the whole atmosphere to appear
clear in the same way that it makes
the sunbeam visible in the darkened
room. Without dust there would
be no blue armament. The sky
would be as dark as or darker than
We see it in the finest moonless
nights. The glowing disk of the
sun would stand Immediately upon
this dark background, and the same
sharp contrast would prevail upon
the illuminated surface of the earth
-blinding light where the SUMS
rays fall and deep black shadows
where they do not.
Only the light of the moon and
the stars, which would remain visi-
BILE in the daytime, would be able
to temper this contrast in a slight
degree. The illumination of the
earth's surface would be like that
We see with the telescope on the lu-
mar landscapes, for the moon has
no atmospheric envelope that can
hold floating dust. We then owe
to dust the even moderately tenn
pered daylight, adapted now to our
eyes, and it is that which contrib
utes much to the beauty of orr
landscape scenery.-Dr. p. Len
ard in Popular Science Monthly.

WROTE AN Essay ON PANTS "A boy
in the Wichita schools is responsible for
the following essay on pants:
"Pants are made for men and not men
for pants. Pants are like molasses-they
are thinner in hot weather and thicker in
cold. The man in the moon changes hs
pants during the eclipse. Don't go to the
pantry for pants; you might be mistaken.
There has been much discussion as to
whether pants Is singular or plural Seems
to US when men wear pants they are pltI-
raj, and when they don't wear pants it is
singular.
"Men go on tear in pants and it Is ali
right; but when the pants go on tear 1t
is all wrong."-Union Printer.
