MIRRORS OF AIR.
What 1t Is That Causes the MnrveIs
of the Mirage.

of the Mirage.
The cause of the mirage is now well under
stood-so well understood that there are ways
of making small mirages for experiment,
writes Tudor jerks in the st. Nicholas.
The simplest explanation l can give is to
say that the rays Of light coming from the
thing that is seen are bent in going through
layers Of air differently heated. When these
rays are so bent as to be almost level with
layer of air, they do not enter it at ALL but
$50 to speak, glance off, and are reflected as
If from mirror. Then the air reflects just
as glass mirror ar a body of water would
if it lay between the eye and the trees or
ship.
This explanation will give you a general
idea of the cause Of the mirage In the case
OF the desert the rejecting air mirror is be-
lieved by the observer 10 be water, and the
image changes its place as you go forward
just as reflection would move as you ad-
vanced on glass mirror. In the case of the

sight over the horizon. But l do not pre-
tend to explain all about the different images
that may possibly be formed under different
conditions Of the atmospheFe-that is a school
room task, and hard one
The "fata morgana" is form of modifca-
ton OF mirage often seen in the straits that
separate the toe of the 'boot' of italy and
the island Of Sicily, just opposite. When the
sun IS just at the right position and the sea
and afr are also ready to help, strange views
Of objects upon the opposite coast are seen
from Calabria-sometimes magnified and set
against background of colored mists ''Fata
mOrgana' means the FAIRY of the sea
1t is said that sometimes during a hot and
stlll summer day, by placing the eye close
TO the surface Of a dry road, a mirage
can be seen, but I have never tried it.
Before these and other strange sights were
understood and explained, we need not wonder
that sailors and travellers held many strange
beliefs in regard to them.

mark that the judges Of the supreme
court of Vermont were elected annually
and If their decisions had "stunk in
the nostrils Of civilization" the judges
would not have been reelected. He
characterized Mr.. Barrett's statements
as a remarkable attack and expressed
the opinion that 1t was not proper for
a member to impute dishonest and dis
honorable motives to judicial tribu-
nal.
No heed was paid to Mr.. CIRCUITS
protest, and Mr.. Barrett continued. He
received round Of applause when he
concluded
Mr.. Powers the subject of the at
tack, sat silently throughout the re-
marks of the Massachusetts member
and made no response. The house then,
by vote Of II to 143, rejected the re-
port of the conference and directed the
house conferees to insist ON the house
amendments. Instructions were also
given to the conferees to insist on an
amendment making the new corpora
ton liable for all the debts of the other
company existing twelve months prior
to the appointment of the receiver.

BALDWIN WINS HIS FIGHT.

Complete Reorganization of Pine
Land Estimating Force to Oc-
cur.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Maj. Bald
win announced this morning that there
is to be a complete reorganization of
the pine land estimator force in Minnie
sofa. This result is brought about
after several conferences between Sec
rotary Francis, Land Commissioner
Lamoreaux and Indian Commissioner
Browning. Just who will be appointed
on the new force cannot be learned to-
day, but Baldwin seems to be master
of the situation at this time. 1t is I'M
derstOod that no sales will be set aside
where patents have been issued.
Maj. Baldwin is awaiting the return
of Representatives Towne and Eddy
for the purpose of getting bill through
congress authorizing Indians to take
charge of all dead and down timber
From intimatiOns 1T is believed that
Baldwin wants to follow the plan Of
Maj. Scott on the Fond du Lac reser-
walton and establish several Indian
camps for cutting timber and getting
logs ready for the mills

There is no remedy except a return to

it is made to meet unnecessary increase
