artificial light Only the whito light of
tho sun, containing all the clements of

by the objects under examination. Some
interesting scientific experiments on the
effect of light i'll revealing or conccaling

Starting with the fact that in photo

colored light, bright scarlet cloth appears
white, it was shown that when no white
light whatever is admitted to dark room
1he power of the eye to distinguish colors
Is temporarily lost, and all objects appear

BY mingling blue or green with REQ
light the colors Of objects can be made to
undergo remarkable changes. The guam

Thought the Bishop a Thief,

The following story is told in Chicago
paper about Bishop Potter:
The good bishop was attending a gath,
ering of church dignitaries in Boston, and
while in that city was entertained in tho
homo of a wealthy lady who was an old,
though not an intimate acquaintance
In tho room assigned to him Bishop
Potter found full set Of silver toilet ar
ticles, which he carefully packed away in
the drawers OF the dresser, preferring to
use his own, which he had in his port.
manteau.
His visit came to sudden conclusion,
and the bishop had no time to restore tho
toilet articles to their proper places, and
in consequence the servant reported them
missing to her mistress, adding that Bishop
Potter must have taken them.
OF course it was not to be for a moment
thought that the articles had been mali.
c!ously purloined, but they were gone, and
so was the reverend guest.
The following telegram was sent to
Bishop Potter: by mistake and in your
haste You have taken toilet articles from
dresser
To this Bishop Potter made reply over
the wire: Poor, but still honest. Find
property in third drawer of dresser"
OF course many and ample apologies
were offered and every effort made to keen
the affair quiet, but the joke was too good,
and Bishop Potter was ths first to relate it.
