MAKING A SUNSET.


Spectacular Exhibitions.
l asked an eminent scientist how ma
ture manages those splendid spectacular
exhibitions which are called sunsets.
"rhats simple enough" he said. when
the air is moist. it absorbs the blue
rays of light and let's the red rays pass.
Therefore the sun is sometimes red. Then
when the sun drops below the horizon
We are able to see only the vertical rays,
which often strike masses of vapor,
which we call clouds, and are reflected.
rays of light are composed of waves
or vibrations of different sizes, speed and
intensity. The short waves are blue. the
long ones are red, and the intermediate
waves represent the different primary
culors.
"Whcn blue and a red wave get mix
ed. they form purple wave, and other
colors are made by different combina-
tons, just as painter mixes his paints
on his pallet. As waves Of light strike
the clouds together they produce some
rare tints, some glorious combinations,
which artists have never been able to i'm
itatc. and il the banks of vapor floating
on the horizon IRE of irregular shape
they produce the fantastic effects we ad
mlre SO much.'
'ls the display assisted by refraction
from the meteoric dust in the atmos-
phcrc?"
Perhaps so. but usually not to any ap-
preciahle extent. There isn't enough to
take into consideration. The volume of
the atmosphere that surrounds the earth
Is equal to more than 2OO,OOO,OO0 cubic

FURNITURE
HOUSE.
Samuel Speakman Now
Occupies Spacious Quar-
ters at No. 5O4 Mar
ket Street.

Samuel Spenkmnn, who for several
years conducted furniture house on
West Fourth street, has removed to No.
506 Market street. His fair business deals
ing and the prosperous times which hnve
existed for the past year have been factors
which have increased his business to slch
proportions that the seeking Of greater
quarters was absolutely necessary to ac-
com,nodate the trade which the house is
now enjoying. The change has been made
and that it will be apprecia cd by the peo-
plu of tho city Is already assured.
The new Market street store is q model
furniture house. 1t is IL four story s'ruct-
ure aud nll Its spacious floors will be de-
voted to the display of furniture. Not a
few pieces of few patterns will be found
In tho house. but a complete line OF every.
thing that goes to make home beautiful
and comfortable will be there displayed.
And not only will the stock be complete,
Dnt it will also be marked Mt figures as.
tonisbiDgly low to those who favor the
new store with a visit.
Mr.. SDeakman's long connection with
the furniture business has enabled him to
% buy at as close figures as. the whole.
sulers He Ia therefore able to dispose of
his stock at figures which arc as low. IL
not lower than any other house in the city.
The limo Of furniture on hand at present
is particularly choice. All tho newest
woods aud styles in pattern are to be seen.
In the carpet line everything from the or
dinnry ingram to the finest quality OF vel
vets Is now. The display of inattings is as
craditable as that OF carpets. Wlth.n a
few weeks MIR. Speakman will add line
of toys for the Christmas trade and they
will also be marked at prices which will
make him leador in that line. In the
spring willow ware department will be
added to the house.
Every day Is an opening day at the
Speakmun store. A polite corps of clerks
will always cheerfully show you Through
the spacious building and display the
goods whether you wish TO buy or not.
Polite business methods:have won for the
house a reputation second to none and it
Is the Intention Of the house to add to that
reputation. That Samuel Speakman will
succeed Is already assured.
