Natural Color of water.

Prof. Spring reports on his experts
ments of many years to explain tho
color of water. He has come to the
conclusion that pure blue is the nat
ural color of water, for when we look
through long tube filed with distilled
water against brilliant white surface,
pure blue is seen, such as shown by
the Lake of Geneva in quiet weather.

perfcial or interior reflection.

THE -AMOJNT REC.EyED,

referring to what Captain Pizzin said
concerning the payment to the Jenkins
Company of the $500 of securities OF the
Richmond Passenger and Power Company,
AIr. Kelley said it looked dig, but It reilly
wasn't He added that in this settlement
the Jenkins folks received $4,000 in bonds
Of the Passenger and Power Company
which We're worth about 50 cents on the
dollar, and the balance was in the pre-
ferred and common stock OF the com
pany, for VII oh, Mr.. Kelley declared, Cap
tain PiZZin himself would not pay $1.C0D.
The speaker said that Mr.. Jenkins only
received ABOUT L per cent. of these secur-
:ties instead Of 10 per cent, as was called
Cor in his agreement.
Mr. Kelley admitted that the Jenkins
Company had no written agreement with
the Richmond Passenger and Power Com
pany. but declared that Captain Pizzini
had acted as a go-between with the two
companies. representing what the one was
will ng to do to the other and vice versa.
s.He was our agent declared Mr.. Kelley,

do believe, acted as agent of the other

that lie was sorry to have missed jenkins
