MiEaoRo OF AIR.
What 1t Is TIA. Causes the Marveis {
the Mirage.

What It l. Tkas Causes the Marveis OF
the Mirage.
The cause OF the mirage is now well
uIderstood--so well understood that
there are ways Of making small mirages
for experiment.
The simplest explanation that / can
give is to say that the rays of light COM
ing 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 a layer of air,
they do not enter it at all, but $50 to
spcak) glance off and are reflected as if
from a mirror. Then the air reflects just
as glass mirror or body of water
would, if it lay between the eye and the
trees or ship.
This explanation will give you gen.
eral idea OF the cause cf the mirage. In
the case of the desert tine rejecting air
mirror is believed by the observer to be
water, and the image changes its place
as you 60 forward just as a reflection
would move a you advanced on glass
mirror. In tho case Of the ship the air
mirror seems to be above You and re-
fleets the ship, which is really out OF
sight over the horizon. But / GO not
pretend to explain all about the offer
ent images that may possibly be formed
under different conditions of the atmos-
phere; that is a schoolroom task, aud a
hard one.
The fata morgana is a form or modi-
ication 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 jGst at
the right position and sea and air are
also ready to help, strange views Of OBJ
jects upon the opposite coast are seen
from Calabria-sometimes magnified
and set against background of colored
plists. Fata mOrgana means the fairy
Of the sea.
Il is said that sometimes. during a
hot and still summer day, by placing
tho eye close to tho surface Ct a dry
road, mirage can be seen, but 1 have
never tried It,
Before these and other strange sights
were understood and explained we need
not wonder that sailCrs and travellers
held many strange beliefs in regard tC
them. -TudCr jerks in st. Nicholas.

"The last time General Phil Sheridan

frequently took him to headquarters,
and he always met a hearty welcome.
The first time Inc called Sheridan said
"Oh, yes, remember you'll You are the

desire to say that the party alluded to
as Suddenly falling into temptation
and through bad company been ruined,
has for a long time practised upon the
credulity of the people, securing their
property without paying for the same
and sadly deceived and neglected his
family. AT length. after securing all he
could on worthless checks. he fled, leav-
ing his creditors to secure their money
out OF a deficient amount of property.
His wife had no belongings. Not a
piece of the property was hers. After
she was offered the fairest possible con-
ditions by the creditors, defering TO the
inadequate advise of an irresponsible
party. she endeavOrcd in every way to
impede the creditors and officers OF the
law and so compelled them TO take
what seemed harsh measures. But no
step was taken illegally. and while
agree with the writer of the letter that
/ such laws should be uniform, while

/ of justices of the peace and other OIL
GERS TO enforce them, and If the result

II is no credit to a man old enough
to be United States senator to be as
poor as Hon. William f. Mason, the
ncwly-elected senator from Illinois, is
represented to be. Poverty is no more
of virtue than riches, and the very
poor are generally lacking in those
qualities which go to fit q man for a
high and honorable position. Mr.. Ma
sons friends are doing him no good by
reiterating the story that he was too
poor TO raise s15 to pay postage with
We 10 not believe it is true. and. if il
is, It is no honor to the newly-made

wANAMAKER's TARIFF VIEWS.

John Wanamaker is quoted as having
said: Il favor tariff TO exclude every
thing that we can make or grow in this
country. Whose fault is 1t that there is
any importing at all, but the fault OF
the United states?" This is sufficiently
brief and to the point, but most people
who read these views of Mr.. Wanna
maker will feel very much greater
respect for Senator Quay than they
ever did before. They will thank him
for saving the country from the dis
grace of having a man like John Wanna
maker in the United States Senate-a
man who expresses views which even
Ii Hung Chang has abrogated. In
deed. the tariff creed of Mr.. Wanna
maker would have been in accord with
that OF the ruling powers of the Chi
nese empire a century or more ago.
Among the successful business men
in this country, no one stands more
prominent before the people than John
Wanamaker who started as poor boy
and deserves the credit of being SELF
made. Having arrived at that distinc-
tion it would appear that Mr.. Wanna
maker has come TO the conclusion that
II would be better to have no more self
made men in this country. He has
achieved the pinnacle of fame reason
ably early in life, and come to the con-
clusion to knock down the fabric,
through which success was possible to
himself. so as to prevent others from
ascending the same ladder. Where
would Mr.. Wanamaker be to-day il
there had been no importations
made into this country of goods OF for
eign manufacture that could have been
made in our own mills at higher prices
than It cost to import them?
John Wanamaker is now a capitalist
He, like his prototype, Alexander T..
Stewart, the merchant prince of New
York, has met with his greatest sue
cesses through the ruin Of less fortu-
nate men in the same line of business.
He has gone on the principle that the
.'big fish should swallow the little fish, y
and he has made a success Of it. 1t has
made little difference to him whether
tariff was high or low. When the tariff
was taken off wool he took the greatest
advantage OF it. No retailer in this
country has done as much as he has OF
late to ruin the dealers in American
manufactures Of this kind by the sale
Of goods Of foreign manufacture at q
very small margin, and now, forsooth
Mr.. Wanamaker thinks that he would
like to have a high tariff on wool
Why?
That there is a reason for this no ono
who knows the tactics of this great
merchant can doubt. Is it possible he is
overstocked with woolen goods or does
he think that during the time neces
sary to put the tariff on the statut,
books he can lay in few million dol
lars worth of foreign-made goods
which will double, triple and possibl!
quadruple in value when domesti
woolens are again protected by a higl
tariff? One would think from the open
ing sentence in this article that thi
great merchant had lost mis- wits. Fa
from It. John Wanamaker is still look
ing for the main chance, and, let tn
tariff be high or low, he is pretty sur
20 secure it. Such a man as he woul
have been out of place in the Unite
States Senate.
