ROSE-TINTED SNOW.
Montreal Star.

The rosy light which tinges so beautifully
the SUBMITS OF lofty snow-clad mountains in
Alpine regions, before sunrise and after sun
set, is due TO the circumstance that the yellow
and red rays of light nave more penetrating 6
power than the blue. They make their way
through stretches OF the atmosphere which
entirely arrest and turn back the blue, and
they do this the more especially if the air is
laden at the time with extraneous particles
that augment th cir opacity. When the sun is
below tae horizon the red and yellow rays
struggle through the air as Ear as the snowy
heights dropping their associates by the way,
and thus paint their fieecy surfaces with red
and yellow tinted light. This roseate after
gov is very beautifully seen exhibited by
the Jungirau. The btoad-based conc is sud-
denly covered in the deepening twilight with
the crimson hue of the rose, and this then
gradually fades until the whole has almost
vanished into darkness.

This consists of an incision in the sclerotic, or
outer. coating of the eye, and the insertion in
the wound OF a false pupil. A peculiarly of
the persons whose eyes have neceSSitated this
operation is that darkness makes but little
difference to them. They are, in fact, In a
constant twilight, as only limited number
OF rays, as compared with the normal eye, con-
verge on the center. But even these are use
