no LIGHT WITHOUT DUST.

Earth wo uId Lack IIIuminat ton
and the Heavens be Inky Black.
The majority Of persons do not know
that the sky is blue on account of th e
thousands and thousands of millions OF
atoms of dust floating in the atmosphere,
Were it not for dust we would lack light on
Mother Earth, and the heavens would
be an inky black, says a writer in the
New York Herald.
Suppose a room absolutely dark, save
hole through one of the shutters. A
ray of light will dart through the small
opening, and one can observe tiny parti-
Giles of dust dancing in that bright beam
of light. As matter Of fact it is not
"the light" we see, but simply a re1ec-
ton caused by these notes of dust.
AS it is with this shaft of light in the
darkened room, 30 it is on large scale
throughout the air. The many millions
Of particles of dust catch the light, re-
flecting it back and forth from one to
another, 80 making the atmosphere lumi-
nous.
1. is for this reason that were it not for
the dust the sky would appear black, as
it does at night when there is no moon.
The sun would appear as an immense
glowing ball. The moon and stars would
be visible throughout the day. Every
thing would appear different. Where
the light touched the eyes would be
dszzled by the brilliancy. The NELL ow
softness OF the shadows would become an
intense black and the outline of objects
harsh and angular.
The sunlight, wLiS..: has been analysed
by means of the spectroscope. consists OF
all the coIors OF the rainbow, their total
forming the white light. The white light
going through crystal prism is broken
up into seven components, the so-called
fundamental colors. These seven dis
tinct colors Of light are the result of the
different lengths of ether waves. Thus
the finest dust molecules being up higher
in the atmosphere reflect only the blue
light, imparting that tint to the heavens
above. In mining districts and those
where factory engines abound, where the
air is full of large particles of coal and
other dust, even on an otherwise clear
day, the sun will have reddish tint.
The cause OF it is that the particles OF
dust are too large and too low in the at
mosphere to reflect the blue light, only
the red being reflected. For this reason
the sky in the country will be blue, while
above a large city on the same day the
heavens may present a grayish or whitish
color, on account OF the dust atoms be-
ing rather large, and. therefore not reflect.
ing the blue light.
The reason that in southern parts Of
the globe and near the equator the sky
very blue Ii es in the fact that the ali
is much drier. and the dust molecules,
not being enlarged by moisture, are thus
enabled to reflect the blue color of the
sunbeams.

One day the Chodia prayed aloud that
God would send him thousand piastres.
"a full thousand could not take less I"
said he, in concluding his prayer. A
rich man who had heard the Chodia
praying thought he would try his consis-
teucy, and next day placed bag contain
ing nine hundred and ninety-nne pias-
tres in his way. The Chodja found the
bag and counted the money, but as he
was turning to carry it home tie tempter
stepped from behind a wall and cried,
Yesterday, in your prayer, you said you
could not take less than thousand pias-
tres. and / wish to show your inconsis-
tencv. Leave that money; it is mine"
"Oh mol" said the Chodja: "this money
God sent me in answer to my prayer, and
| shall take it home, trusting that He
who sent me nine hundred and ninety
nine piastres will sometime surely send
me the one outstanding plastic. There
is no inconsistency, but plenty of faith, in
me-" And he walked away, well salts
fed, carrying the bag.

As to the other extreme. checks have been
drawn to the value OF q single cent
Other stories relate to the circuit made
by checks before they are finally taken
up and destroyed. Some of these migra.
tons have covered different states and
hundreds of miles. In these journeys
checks have gone over ground several
times. Checks are wonderful money saw
ers; that is, they save the handling Of
vast sums OF money every day. They
also serve to minimize the loss of money
from mistakes, thefts, or other causes.
But one Of the greatest curiosities in
the check line has just come to light in
San Francisco. A lady brought 1t to the
Bank Of California to be csshed. 1t was
10 paper box and had to be handled
very carefully for 1t was in two pieces and
both were burnt to crisp. There was
not decipherable word on either piece
The lady said the bits Of crisp paper rep
resented a check for 1925 which she had
received in a letter. The check, she
said. was drawn by the national bank of
d. 0. Mills Of Sacramento. She had re-
moved the letter from the envelope and
thrown the envelope on some live Goals
in the crate. Upon reading the letter
she found reference to an enclosure OF
check for the sum named, and turned to
the fire in the CRATE with sore disappoint-
ment. The fire had done it's work. The
crisp paper lay on the Goals. She care
fully removed the same, placed it in a
box, and hurried to the Bank of Califor-
mia to get the money before the pieces
were further crumbled.
After listening to the story the officers
OF the bank made a careful examination
OF the burnt paper. and by the aid of
powerful glasses they were able to make
out portions of words from the pen i'm.
pressions made on the pap&r. There
were enough OF these lines left to show
that ELLA" had been written, land part OF
the word hundred" was also made out,
with two or three letters OF fhe name of
the bank. These discoveries correspond
ed with the story of the lady, and the
bank officers then communicated the cir
cumstances to the national bank of d. o.
Mills & Co., of Sacramento, and asked
for duplicate check in behalf of the
lady. This was forwarded and the
money was paid. The circumstance dis
proved the charge about the curiosity OF
women. Had there been more curiosity
about the enclosure OF the envelope the
trouble would have been avoided. The
practical application of the story is to
be careful what you throw into the fire
has no further value to you.

SLAIN BY A MOTH.
Defense That Was Effective In Case
of a Prince.

of a Prince.
New York World: Recent murder
| mysteries serve to recall that of Princess
Caracells, q singularly lovely woman,
| who met with violent death at Naples
The princess had been entertaining a
party of friends at dinner at the Caracel.
la palace, and as she had promised to at
tend ball toward midnight she went to
her bedroom to lie down for few min.
utes' rest to refresh herself for the dance.
At IL o'clock her maid entered her
room to awaken her, whereupon the
princess asked her to return little later
and twenty minutes afterward, when she
returned, the girl found her mistress still
lying on her bed with scarcely a muscle
OF her face changed, but stone dead, with
the mark of tiny bullet in the region Of
| the heart.
The maids shrieks quickly brought
the prince and the whole household to
the room, and within ten minutes the
judicial and police authorities arrived. 1t
was clear that no stranger had fred the
shot, since the bed room was situated on
the third floor, and no one had entered
the gates of the palace between the hours
Of 10 O'Clock and midnight.
At length the prince was arrested on a
charge of having murdered his wife with
the little pistol which lay by her side on
the table, and one chamber of which was
empty; color being lent to the accusation
by the fact that he was VIGOROUSLY jesl-
GUS.
His trial resulted In acquittal, partly in
consequence of an extraordinary piece Of
testimony which was produced in court
by one of the police officials. The story
he related was this:
A couple OF days after the murder, on
the removal of the seals from the doors
of the bed room, he had made a careful
investigation of the apartment and had
found on the floor by the bedside one Of
those enormous night moths, the bodies
of which are almost as thick as a mans
thumb, and which abound In Italy.
He declared that the moths wings
were badly singed, as If it had flowr
against the candle that stood on the table
by the bedside.
He produced the moth in court, and
then proceeded to point out to the judges
that some of the powder of the insect
wings was apparent on the black ebony
and gold stock and trigger OF the little re
volver which had been found on the table
and with which the shooting had beer
done.
He then called the attention of tn,
judges and jury to the phenomenal facil
ity with which the trigger yielded, anc
advanced the extraordinary argument
that the princess had been murdered by
the night moth, which, he alleged, mus
have flown into the room, attracted by
the candle light, and falling with singec
wings on to the table, had discharged th5
revolver in the violence of its contortions
