Tho Color of Pure Water.

The fact is generally known that
pure water appears blue when light is
transmitted through sufficient thick
ness of it, and that when Opaque par
ticles are suspended in 1t the hue OF the
water is greenish. But while pure wat
er looks blue when light passes freely
through it, yet when it is contained in
a deep, opaque receptacle, like the basin
of lake or the ocean, it ought to abb
sorb all light and look black. Expe-
rience shows, however, that the deep
est parts of the Mediterranean, for in
stance, appear not black, but intensely
blue. This has been supposed to
be caused by minute particles held in
suspension, but the recent experiments
of Prof. Spring at Liege suggest diff
ferent explanation. He has found that
warmer currents passing through pure
water interrupt it's transparency, even
when the difference of temperature ~
very slight. Such currents may cause
deep water to appear blue by rejecting
light back from it's depths through the
transparent layers above. This, it IL
suggested, explains the fact that fresh
water lakes are more transparent in
winter than in summer because in win
ter currents of heated water are not
traversing them. Even the shadow of
a mountain falling on a lake may in
crease the transparency of the water by
cooling the surface.-Youth'o Com
panion.

named Radell and Hines, and each Of
them some time ago lost dog resemb-
ling the one in question, and when Mr..
Hines found this one in Mr. RadelPs
possession there was trouble. When
the case came to trial Mr.. Radell
claimed the dog because he had lost
one just like him, and because the
animal had come to his store and mani
tested the utmost familiarity with the
surroundings. He called the dog in
English several times, but no attention
was paid to him by the animal. Then
Mr.. Hines whispered word in Span
ish and the dog bounded to him. Again
was the call repeated, this time in Ger
man, and again the dog manifested
joy. For the third time the animal
was called, this time in French, and he
answered it by almost knocking Mr..
Hines over in his rush to him.
Mr. Radell once more attempted to
win the dogs attention by calling him
in English, but the only answer he re-
ceived was a stare. This closed the
case, and Mr.. Hines was told to 60
home with the dog.-Chicago Tribune

BrnWn'a Clover Horse.

F. 8. Brown, who keeps a novelty
store in Ansonia, CT. has a gray horse
which has learned a novel trick and
delights in showing when thirsty. The
horse is kept at Curtis livery stable,
and the trough where the horses usu-
ally drink is so situated that the
water becomes warm. One day few
weeks ago, as the horse was being
led out of the barn, one of the stable
hands was using the hose to wash a
carriage. The water was partly turned
off and without thinking of the re-
suits, he held it up to the horse. He
was surprised to see the horse take the
nozzle in it's mouth and hold it there
until it drank it's fill, and without spill
ing a drop. When the horse came in
at noon the experiment was repeated,
and the horse drank again in the same
manner with evident delight at the
temperature of the water. 1t became
so accustomed to this manner of drink
ing that now it refuses to drink out Of
the trough, and If the hose is lying on
the ground it will step up to it, get the
end in its mouth, and drink if the
water is running. If not, it will
whinny or stamp with its feet until
some one turns the water on.-New
York Sun.

A Bicycle Flower Parade.

A grand floral fete, rose show and
bicycle parade took place on the South
Parade pier, Portsmouth, in aid of the
charities of Milton and Eastney
parishes. The mayoress opened
the fete. The cycle parade was
extremely pretty, the machines
being beautifully decorated with
flowers. Miss Gilbert gained the
gold medal for bicycle decked with
yellow roses and fern. Mrs. Chichester
was awarded the silver medal for a
really artistic arrangement, a parasol
of cream satin, covered with pink and
white sweet peas, being fixed to the
machine; the wheels were trimmed
with pink and green ribbons, whilst Q
chairback of green art muslin and pink
roses was ingeniously introduced at the
back of the saddle. Mrs. Innes was
highly commended for prettily decked
cycle. Miss Smiths also was much ad-
mired, and Miss Finucane was awarded
prize "a cyclometer) in a riding COM
petition. There was lovely exhibition
of roses, sent by growers from all parts
OF England, and Princess Beatrice
orchid the only specimen in England,
was much admired.--London Queen.

Pigeons Stop the Clock.

A man went running up Park avenue
toward the Grand Central station the
other afternoon. He carried heavy
satchel,, his umbrella was closed that it
might not impede him and the rain
was pouring on him with gleeful vigor
The man stopped suddenly in his wild
course as he happened to look up and
caught sight of the clock on the front
Of the station.
"Confound it," he said, " my watch
must be fast. i thought / had only
two minutes in which to catch that 3
o'clock train, and here 1t is only 2:45."
Figuratively kicking himself, the
man walked into the Murray Hill hotel
cafe and ordered something cooling.
Five minutes later ne entered the sta
ton and walked up to the door out
side of which he fondly supposed his
train was waiting. The door was
closed, his train was gone.
Your Internal clock is slow" he
said to an attendant, 1--WE lost my
train"
Il guess it's the pigeons again." said
the attendant, indifferently.
What do you mean by pigeons?"
with plenty of explosives.
They sit on the hands of the clock"
answered Mr.. Depews minion. when
ever the hands mark 2:45 or 9:15 the
pigeons roost on 'em. Queer, isn't it,"
But the man who had lost his train
did not say whether or not he thought
1t was queer. His rage had made him
speechless. He tramped out across
Forty-second street and looked at the
clock. 1t was still 2:45. Two pigeons
sat on the minute hand, billing and
cooling.
We'll" gasped the man, eff l had a
gun / know where there would be some

a search for gun store.-New York

Where Gold Goes.

A dentist in good practice uses over
$500 worth of gold year in filling
teeth. Some prepare their own gold;
others get it from the gold-beaters, but
the greater part obtain it from dental
supply firms.
This gold is put up in eight-ounce
packages, packed in small glass pitfalls,
each containing fraction of an ounce.
The cylindrical pieces of gold in. it are
goldfoil of very soft spongy kind.
When pressed into a hollow tooth
one of these cylinders will not take up
one-twentieth of the space it occupied
in the bottle. About $4,000, 900 is now
concealed in the mouths of people in
the world.

The Fight of the Horse and the He,

The Fight of the Horse and the Hen.
A Dexter gentleman claims to have
seen battle between horse and q
hen recently. More oddly-matched con-
testants can scarcely be thought Of
Into a neighbours orchard, where o
horse was feeding, an old hen led her
flock Of chicks. Just what began the
fuss the gentleman did not see, but
probably the chicks made themselves
too familiar with the horses feet The
horse began kicking at the old hen with
all his might, and with the prospect
that If he could only hit her once, poul-
try would take a sudden rise in her
vicinity. The pluck of the hen was
something wonderful. The chicks
scudded out of the way, but the mother
nuffed out her feathers. and ran her
neck straight out before her, and dart
ed for the horses heels whenever they
struck the ground. She pecked vicious
ly at them, but the odds were against
her, as the heels were pretty sure to
be missing by the time she got a blow
well aimed. The horse labored under
the same difficulty. He would look
back for the hen, and take aim at her.
and she would change base before the
cyclone struck. For much fuss and eff
fort and little effect the battle fur
nlshed unique spectacle. Both sides
quieted down after time, and the old
hen marched off with her chicks cluck-
ing vociferously, which was doubtless
her way of impressing them with the
fact that she was not afraid of the
biggest horse in Trotterdom. Lewis
