The explanation of the blue color Of
the sky. as given by A. II. Thiessen, is
that as the observer looks into space
his line is intercepted by a multitude of
particles of dust floating in the air.
The reason these particles appear to
be blue is that they reflect to the eye
the blue rays against which they form
an effective barrier, while the red or
coarser-wayed rays pass on. That the
dust reflects back only the blue rays is
due TO their microscopic size. The finer
the dust, the purer is the blue which is
reflected or scattered. The bluest skies.
therefore, are seen in places where the
dust particles are smallest; the blue of
the sky. as viewed from the tops of
mountains, is deeper and purer than
that seen from a lower altitude. This
is due to the fact that the air is very
rare at great heights and can only sus-
tain the finer particles of dust, while
the coarser particles abound in the low
er levels. The intensity of the blue
sky for which Italy is noted is not
owing to the existence of finer dust
than in northrn countries. but to the
fact that in the northern ATTITUDES, in
consequence of the greater GOODNESS of
the air, the vapor more readily con-
denses upon the dust particles. These
particles thus become larger and less
effective in turning back the blue rays
alone. II follows that other rays are
reflected, and a grayish effect is pro-
duced When the sky forms a back
ground for white cumulus clouds, A
appears to be bluer by the contrast than
it otherwise would, and after a shower.
when the lower stratum of air is wash
ed of its coarse dust particles. the re-
suit is a deeper and paler blue. The
reason the reds are prominent at sun
set is that then the dust particles are
between the sun and the observer. and
the blues are reflected away from him.
while the reds pass unobstructed to his
eye

The government has issued printed
statement Of the receipts and eXpendi.
lures during the fiscal year that ended
June 30, and placed copy of the same
before committees of congress. The
showing made by Vermont in customs
receipts is very gratifying. The Gus
toms office at Burlington received during
the year S3l5.3l9 50. The customs of
flee at Newport received S240, 24l 81.
These made total customs receipts in
Vermont of S555,5G0 Sc. Only one
state in New England, Massachusetts,
exceeds Vermont in total customs re-
ceipts. Maine, with eleven customs
districts, only collected 1920, 223 50, in
customs receipts. Rhode Island and
Connecticut each had about half that
amount. The receipts from internal
revenue from the district Of New Hamp
shire, which includes Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, was 81 ,33S,-
357.45. The commissioner of Internal
revenue has not yet submitted the
figures which show what part of this
sum was received from the Green
Mountain state. New Hampshire, how
ever, always has paid the lions share of
the revenues of this district.

1t Leads the Century.
TChicagh Inter.Ocean.1

This disparity in numbers, which
grows almost day by day, has made the
conflict on the Transvaal border the
most remarkable In history since the
American revolution. Never before in
this century did handful of people
wage such successful warfare against a
giant nation. Never before in this CEN
fury did so small population send forth
such an indomitable army to battle.
Never before in this century did such
tiny governments dare so much for
pTinciple and do so much in defence Of
their own frontier as the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State are daring and
doing today The world has seen no
greater heroisD, no grimmer determlna-
ton, and it is an inspiring spectacle, at
the close of a commercial century and in
a commercial era, to witness this mar
velous devotion to the cause of govern
ment by, for and of the people.

THE TIP QUESTION.
What n Man Must Give in Order to
Get GOOd ScrYice.


What ought yolng fellow to give
IN tps?" said a young clubman to
whom this important question had been
propounded by New York Tribune
man. Why, do not know what other
chaps give, but l make it a rule to take
$50 in bills of different denominations
for weeks visit TO a Newport house,
and $40 for Friday to Mondays out
ing. To the man who Wallets me for a
week l give IS. Five dollars to the
coachman, IS to the butler, and s. to
the housemaid who attends to my
room; the other IS goes in 81 tips to
groOms, footmen, etc. For the shorter
visit | give SO to the valet and 50
apiece to the others"
That is too much for me-" remarked
one of his hearers, an impecunious
young man of business. Il get through
a week with $40, and about s. or Sc
OF an over Sundays invitation. 1t is
rather hard on the rest of us for you
rich fellows to put up the scale to such
hifh figures. You should leave that to
the married men-of course, their STAN
dard is higher-but We poor bachelors
should be let off easy" 90
Luckily for us women, we are never
expected to tip as literally as men,
either at hotel or a private house."
said young woman, taking part in the
discussion.
Fortunate for the poor devils that
they don't expect it," interpolated her
brother with grin, for they would
never get it-women are always so
mean"
Il give" continued his sister, scorn-
ing to notice his remark, SO for week
81 to the lady's maid, 81 to the house
maid in charge of my room, and 81
apiece to the butler and coachman.
That is what most of my friends give,
and think it is quite sufficient"
At restaurants the rule for tip is
ten per cent. of the order. so it is very
easy to do what is expected. Only wom-
en- do not seem to have grasped this
simple rule of arithme dc
On the great ocean liners the sched-
ule should be well understood. for the
traveller, be it male or female, who
does not leave al least ten shillings
apiece for the stewardess and his par
ticular attendant at table had better
not cross again on that ship unless he
begins with a reformation, while at
English hotels, as is well known, a gra-
tuity is expected for the smallest SER
vice, and to escape without being
plundered requires considerable maneu-
vering.-Exchange
