THE "GREEN RAY"
To BE Seen Frequently at the Delta
of the Nile.

The green ray, " an optical phenom-
enon which has been made the founda-
ton of a story by Jules Verne, is a
fash of greenish light seen as the limb
of the sun rises or sets under certain
conditions of the atmosphere. The sea
horizon is good for observing it, but
the effect is occasionally seen in the Alps
or other mountains, and, according TO
Plot Bey in a paper to the Academic DIES
Sciences, Paris, it is often to be observ-
ed in Egypt from the point of the del
Ia to Alexandria or SueZ, either at rise
or set of sun.
The ray is distinctly visible, and al
ways of an emerald green, which is
brighter as a rule ut sunrise than sun
set. At sunset, when the eye can follow
the effect better, the ray sometimes APP
pears longer and ultimately takes blue
tinge. This blue ray has also been OBJ
served preceding the "green ray at sun
rise, for example, by Mr.. William Gatf,
near the ruins of Memphis not far from
the stepped pyramid of Saggarah. He
even thinks the ancient Egyptians were
familiar with it, because in monuments
of the fifth dynasty and others the sign
of "Kha, representing the rising sun,
has the outer streak of a blue color and
the two inner streaks are green. Their
writings also speak of the greenness Of
the sun on rising. and they liken 1t to
an emerald
1t is evident from all this that the
green ray is an objective, not a sub
jective, phenomenon, and that the hori-
zon of the sea has nothing to do with 1t.
Nevertheless, the state Of the atmos-
phere evidently has to do with it, and
that of Egypt, ordinarily pure, seems to
have much. for the ray is seldom seen
elsewhere on land.

the column an ideal of the beau sabreur
From beneath the wide and slightly up
turned brim of the soft felt hat. which
bore no tawdry plumes. the large, deep
set blue eyes were peering with more
than usual alertneSs The look Of kind
illness which came in moments of repose
or gentler mood was gone, and some
thing hard ard almost savage had re-
placed it, The broad, high forehead, the
shaggy brows prominent cheek bones
and bold assertive nose told not only
the story of his Gaelic origin. but the
bulldog tenacity of the man.
About the ears and neck heavy half
curling tufts of deep black hair hung so
stifly and stubbornly that they were
scarcely swayed by the strong, cold wind
which swept the snowtiakes in minla-
ture clouds from the tree tops and sent
them scurrying to the ground. The dark
mustache and heavy short chin beard
were gray with frozen moisture of the
expired air The massive, firm set Jaw
told of the strength Of will which mas
tered all The compressed lip and deep
flush of the face bespoke the bloody
business of the hour Six feet and two
inches in stature, broad shouldered and
of athletic frame. well might one say

A combination and form indeed
Where every god did seem TO set his seal
To give the world assurance Of man.
A plain capped overcoat Of coarse, heavy
homemade gray, close buttoned to the
throat, reached amply beyond the knees.
About the waist, and buckled on the
outside for quick and ready use, there
was a broad black belt in which two

hung that famous saber, heavy and long

He could cut or thrust deeper with a

of his own. it was all intended for the
good of the cause. -''Lieutenant Colo

Only One Westerner Left
To Compete For
Championship.
PROGRESS At ONWENTSIA.

Lake Forest, ILL.,, July 5.-One West
ern man now remains to battle for the
amateur golf championship in the tour
nament Wednesday. Today's game saw
the downfall of four out Ave Westerners
who were successful in yesterdays
the Overland Park club of Denver was
vanquished by H. P. Toler of the Bal
tusrol Golf club; D. R. Forgan went
down before Champion Findlay S.
Douglass; William Holabird, Jr., the 1G-
year-old player of the Glenview Golf
club of Chicago. was beaten by c. B.
Mcdonald of the Chicago Golf club.
while Walter B. Smith of the Onwentsia
club, runner up in the last years tour
nament with the Morris county course,
was defeated after a hard struggle by
]. G. Thorpe of the Oakley Country
club Of Cambridge, Mass.
The playing of Douglass was pre-
eminently the feature of the day. He
defeated D. r. Morgan the Onwentsia
captains with ridiculous ease, and IN
doing so established new competition
record for the long Onwentsia course,
going out in 40 and returning in 49,. a
total of 50 for the is holes. The per-
formance was by far the best of the
season, and the form displayed by the
champion was so superior to that shown
by the other contestants that his final
victory is regarded by many as fore
gone conclusion.
The surprise of the day was the de-
feat of Walter B; Smith, last yeaps
runner up, by j. G. Thorpe. Mr.. Thorpe,
who was runner up against Whigham at
Shinnecock Hills in 1896, has displayed
particularly fine form during this tour
nament, but Smith had been doing so
good work that he was picked to win
by a majority of the golfers present.
G. B. Mcdonald, the Chicago Golf
club expert, defeated his young oppon-
emit, William Holabird. Jr., as was ex-
pected, but displayed such poor form
during the first nine holes that for a
time it looked as If Holabird would win.
Holabird did beautiful work at first,
winning the first hole in four, the sec
ond in three, the third in FIVE, and the
fourth in five.
