THE LAKES BLUE COLOR.
Discussion on the Source Of It's Tint
ing-Whnt Gives This Water Its
Rejecting Power:

1t is generally agreed that pure water. as
in many of the deepest lakes. is blue; and it
is usually supposed that the greenish tint
common to other waters is given to them
by yellowish matter held in suspension,
yellow. The explanation. while Carl EoSt
regards it as correct as to the. color of
water. is not accepted by NJ. w. Spring as
sufficient to account for lakes looking blue,
says Popular Science Monthly, for il their
water is wholly pure and quiet. it will alb
serb the mass of light, rejecting little or
none and look black. What gives this
the existence of colorless solid matter in
the water like the dust that makes visible
the diffused light of the atmosphere. That
cause is admitted to be a possible one; but
NJ. Spring has satisfied himself by expert
mentS that water absolutely pure will also
reflect the light if the mass is composed of
layers of different temperatures that give
clusion is supported by observation. Pro-
fessor f. a. Forel has found that fresh
water lakes are more transparent in winter
than in summer, as they should be by NJ.
Springs theory: because in summer the
difference in temperature between the sur
face and the layers beneath is greater.
Thus the remains of the lake dwellers can
in winter at places where they are not at
all visible in summer. Professor Forcl
thinks this Is because there is more dust
in them to obscure the view in summer
than in winter; but there is no reason why
this should be. while the disturbance by
convection currents is necessarily much
greater in the warm season. NJ. Spring
does not interpret his theory as excluding
any of the others, but as experimenting

Is quite natural that some genius should
invent a keyiess night latch. Keyless locks
nave been common enough upon safes and

all of these perturbation locks depend upon

of safe-lock makers that their combinations

His latch has no keyhole. and works with
