TAN AND SUNBURN.
The Light Not the Heat of the Sun Re-
nnonnibIe for Them.

The Light Not the Heat Of the Sun Re-
sponsibIe for Them.
While it was formerly believed that
the suns heat was responsible for tan
and sunburn, 1t has now been proven
that it is the light of the sun which,
colors the skin. Persons exposed to
sunlight on mountain tops, at low tenn.
perature, are burned as II they had
w dergone heat as well. Painful burns
often result from light reflected from
snow and water. Persons exposed 10
severe heat in mines, firerooms of steam.
err and rolling mills do not become
tanned in the same manner as those
working in the sun. The present the.
ory is that the actinic rays of sunlight
produce tan or sunburn. These rays
affect chemically certain substances
upon which they fall. Blue or violet
rays have much greater effect upon
sensitive plate than red rays, and
this is also true of the human skin.
Red glass allows red light rays to pass
through it freely and rejects the com.
Elementary blue rays. Blue glass ad.
mits blue or violet rays and excludes
red A red fabric would be the most
effective protection against sunburn.
Blue is q most undesirable color for
wells. A woman, a member Of party
Of tourists, wore striped red and white
waist during long exposure to suns
rays. She found herself burned In
stripes, the white affording no protec-
ton, as all rays pass through 1t. The
pigment or coloring matter Of the skin
is the portion which receives the chem
ical action Of the sunlight. 1t is not
definitely known why some peopls
burn red, while others freckle or tan.
The darkening of the skin is an effort OF
nature to protect the sensitive parts
beneath. The darker the surface upon
which sunlight falls, the more difficult
it is for it to penetrate. Wind and
heat by irritating the skin sometimes
produce congestion which predisposes

COLOR OF SOAP BUBBLES.
How the Changing Hues Are Pro.

How the Changing Hues Are Pro.
duccd.
The extreme thinness of the bubble is
indeed wonderful. 1t is estimated that
the film in some places is only one
hree-millionths of an inch in thick.
ness. Probably few of us can conceive
of such thinness. Let me express 1t in
another way. The Old and New Testa-
ment contain some three millions OF let.
tiers. Now one three-millionth is such
part of an inch as the first letter OF the
Bible is part of the sum of all OF its
letters.
The bubble, however, is not Of equal
thickness at all points, and it is for this
reason that it has the various colors.
For instance, wherever the film is
orange-red it measures about three one
millionths of an inch; where 1t is blue,
eighty one-millionths of an inch; and at
point where lemon-yellow is promi-
nent, about twenty -millionths OF an
inch. Perhaps you wonder why the
colors change from one part of the soap
bubble to another. This is because the
film of the soap-bubble evaporates and
grows thinner, but unequally so at diff.
ferent portions. A greenish blue with
q pale rose-red spot near it indicates an
extreme thinness, and at such point
the film is ready to give way at the
least jar.
You will be glad to know the source
of the beautiful colors. Every one is
delighted with them, even If not inter.
ested by the explanation of their
origin. We may say that they come
from the light. Light gives color to all
objects, but not exactly asit does to the
soap-bubble. White light from the sun
can be broken into the seven colora
which we have seen in the rainbow. In
that instance the raindrops separate II
into its parts. A glass prism will do the
same, as you may prove by looking
through glass pendant from hang
ing lamp. When the light reaches the
surface of the soap-bubblt part is re-
fected from II, and we see images on
its surface as II 1t were curved mirror.
Another portion of the light, however,
enters the film and is separated so that
q part of the seven colors are thrown
into the bubble, and we can see them
at various portions Of the opposite sur
face. Another part Of the light, after
being broken by the film, is reflected by
its inner surface back to our eyes, SO
that we see colors at the point where
the light enters.-Jacob F. Butcher, In

WOMAN AND HOME.
HEALTH-GlvlNG BATHS.
Dips In Water Made Fragrant by
Flowers ana Herbs.

Flowers ana Herbs.
For hardening and strengthening the
muscles of neck, shoulders, arms and
limbs nothing Is more efficacious than
a bath of flowers or herbs. Any woman
aspiring to resemble the heroine in
"Daniel Deronda," who always emerged
from her bath looking "like freshly
dipped swan" is becoming initiated In
the mysteries of these refreshing and
fragrant dips.
Rose leaves, crushed violets, hay flow
ers, oat straw, shave grass and pine
sprig-these form the foundation Of
the flower or herb bath, and conse-
quently excursions to the garden, the
field or the hay rack will be in order
in summer. The flower bath is taken
warm, followed by cold shower and
n vigorous rubbing until arms and
neck shine like glistening marble, are
firm of texture and smooth as satin.
All these baths are prepared in the
same manner. Boiling water should
be poured upon bags of the different
blossoms or herbs, each bag contain
ing from one-half to one pound of mate
rial and the whole allowed to boil for
ten minutes; the vessel is then taken
from the fire and allowed to partly
cool, when it is added to the prepared
bath.
Hay flowers consist Of the remains of
stalks, leaves, blossoms and seeds, even
the hay itself. An oat-straw bath is
made by boiling the stalks and heads
of oats for one-half hour in kettle and
then pouring the decoction into the
tub. Shave grass is prepared in the
same manner by boiling the stem, cone
and spore. Equisetum arvesne is the
botanical name of shave grass, which
is a medicinal herb of great value.
Taken internally in form Of tea 1t
purifies the stomach; externally in the
bath it washes away and dissolvcs all
that is injurious. The uses of the herb
are manifold; for instance, in cases of
violent bleeding at the nose a decoc-
ton of shave grass drawn up into the
nostrils gives immediate relief. A sup
ply of shave grass should be kept in
every home dispensary, that in time of
need it may be quickly at hand.
For the pine-sprig bath gather the
sprigs, the fresher the better, small
branches, even resinous pine cones, cut
them in bits, put into bag and boil for
one-half hour. The chief effect Of a
pine-sprig bath is on the skin, which is
brought into activity by it, and on the
blood vessels, which it strengthens,
Moreover, it is fragrant and delightful
For the mixed bath herbs and flowers
of various kinds are used; this is in
case the due quantity Of any one can
not be procured.
A word apropos of the duration Of
such tubbings.. A warm flower bath
may last one-quarter hour, followed by
a cold shower lasting possibly one
minute, no longer. Flower and hert
baths may be taken two or three times
week.-Eleanor Lexington, in Amer

Cloth Dyed on Both Sides.

In England new method is being
employed for dyeing cloth different
color on each side, doing away with
the necessity for lining. At first it
is dyed through in the usual manner.
1t is then taken to printing machine
provided with roller engraved with
deeply cut diagonal lines, running in
one direction over its surface, and with
diagonal lines cut less deeply running
in an opposite direction. This roller is
dipped in a bath of thickened color
and carried up to the cloth. 1t is so
adjusted that the second color is kept
from penetrating the piece more than
half way. After it is applied the cloth
is finished in the ordinary way.-Chi-

A mooley cow with remarkably pes
verse nature caused some amusement
recently by persist.ng in walking along
the streets between the rails Of the
street car line on East Second street,
in spite of the combined efforts of the
boy driving her and the street car en-
ployes TO prevent. The car was stopped
several times to avoid striking the
beast, but as often as she was driven
from the tracks she would return. The
motorman finally ran the car slowly
against the animal and showed her
from the tracks. AS soon as the COW
recovered from her establishment she
gave below of rage and chased the
car for nearly block, and it was only
when she had been headed off by some
boys and chased up a side street that
she gave up the chase.-Oil City Der

A TRUCE BETWEEN INDIANS.
The Chippcwns and Sioux Tribes Join
Hands.

A few days ago there was friendly
reunion of the Chippewa and Sioux In.
dians. This was notable occasion, be-
cause for many years an unquenchable
feud ragged between these tribes. Moth
ing that could be done seemed to az
suage their wrath, which has burned
most fiercely since the early days of the
American colonies.
1t is therefore with great deal of
satisfaction that lovers of harmony and
concord learn that a reconciliation has
taken place, and that the Ratchet is
buried and the pipe of peace has been
smoked. Whether Master Cupid real
ly had as much to do with all this
smoothness as many people choose TO
fancy, or whether the prospective we'd
ding Of two members of these hostile
tribes was merely taken advantage Of
rs pretext to give up the old feud real
ly matters but little. AS far as results
are concerned the outcome is eminently
satisfactory, and it is therefore no
longer necessary for these original
owners Of the soil to be on their guard
lest the other tribe should catch them
mapping. That the Indian nature
should undergo such change as to
clasp hands with lifelong enemies is an
excellent argument in favor of civiliz-
ing and Outstanding these tribes.
They have become very manageable
and biddable, and the hope now is that
they will hold to their good resolutions
The Indian is most cruel, blood
thirsty and relentless foe. Nothing is
| too horrible for him to undertake. As
a friend the Indian is said to be trust
worthy and reliable, once his mind is
| set upon the friend, but there have
been so many instances related of his
treachery to white people that these
| stories have come to be taken with n
great many grains of allowance.
Of course, there are bad Indians as
well as good ones, and it may be that
those who would do yell have been pre-
vented by the more mischievous Gle
ment. Whatever the situation muy be,
the entire civilized and Christanized
world will be exceedingly glad to know
that the old enemity between these two
tribes has become a thing of the past,
and, as they say, is done with forever
