CoIors il, the Sky.

Changes of color in the sky have been
made matter of scientific Investigation
and it has been found that during some
months of the year the sky is a deeper
blue than during others. The sky is most
intensely blue in December. January
March and September, and .paler in color
during July, August and November In
observing the changes in the sky from
hour to hour, it has been found that the
sky is a deeper blue in the morning than
during the heat of the day, says the AL
bany ARGUS" This indicates that, since
the deepest color is seen in the coldest
part of the day, heat plays an impor-
tant part in determining the sky color
Professor Tyndall made experiments
showing that the sky tint is caused by
the reflection of the blue waves of light
from minute particles floating high in
the air The waves of blue light are
shorter than those of yellow or red and
consequently are more easily arrested
and reflected back When the sun Is blaz-
ing hot high in the heavens it dissolves
the fine particles of vapor to great
extent, and leaves fewer of them to split
up the scattered daylight and send It's
soon blue beams back to the observer s
eyes,

NO VIhDICATION.

Editorial from the New York ''Sun'' of
this Morningl
The remarks made by Judge Blair, yes
terday, in sentencing Barker, settle finally
the question of his conviction simply for
the assault charged against him, without
any reference to any motive which might
have influenced him in committing the
crime. The conviction, said the judge,
"is a signal Illustration of the vindica-
tion of violated law" and it "and it will
teach wholesome lesson to those who,
in the future, may be tempted to take
the law into their own hands in their
efforts to avenge either real or imaginary
wrongs" After saying that there was
nothing in the crime, from any strictly
legal standpoint, which should relieve you
from the extreme penalty of the law" he
added that the court "also feels that
something may well be pardoned to hu-
man weakness in the face of great provo
cation, and some lenity, perhaps, shown
for the exercise of natural though
wholly unwarranted passion In this
there is no vindication for anybody

Speculation as to What
Mayor Hoos Will Do
With the Modified
Water Contract.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE HAS IT
City Board Ready to Pass 1t
at Their Meetings Next
Week.

sT will act upon the water contract as
aoon as it reaches me, without further
delay said Mayor Hoos this morning IN
reply to a question about the proposition
of P. H. Flynn to modify the water con-
tract. Mr.. Flynn's proposals were pub
lished in .'The News on Tuesday, and
were formally sent by him to the Water
Committee yesterday. BY these modifica-
tions the city retains s500,0Oo, but pays no
interest to Mr.. Flynn for the money re-
tanned.
Mayor Hoos refused to say what he pro-
posed to do with the resolution ratifying
the amended contract. 1t will be passed
by the Street and Water Board on Tues
day. The Board of Finance will meet the
following day and concur in the resolu-
ton and the Mayor will have it on the
eve of Independence Day. Although His
Honor will not say whether he will sign
it or not the city officials connected di-
rectly with the matter say he will sign it.
This closes the water muddle and Mr..
Flynn will now be able to finance the
Jersey City Water Supply Company's
bonds and go ahead with the completion
of the construction work at Boonton.
That this difficulty over the contract
caused by the insertion of the words,
whole flow of the Rockaway River" is
now removed is a source of satisfaction to
the city officials was seen this morning
when they discussed it.
Mr.. Robert Davis, who has taken deep
interest in it and is thoroughly posted
ON water matters, said he was glad that
the trouble was adjusted. The city had
been thoroughly protected in the new
agreement and there was nothing in the
way to hinder the completion of the con-
tract
Commissioners James F. Nolan and F.
Heintze of the Water Committee feel re-
lieved over the situation, and SO far as
the Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners are concerned they will do all they
can to make up for the loss of time oc-
casioned by the delay.
Mr.. Joseph A. Dear. chairman of the
Water Committee of the Board of Trade,
said a few days ago that it was a pity
so much valuable time had been lost on
the work, but now that the contract had
been rnodiaeds suit all parties and the
city;s interests properly conserved, he
hoped the work would rapidly progress.
Mr.. Dear expressed the sentiment of the
Board of Trade that the situation was
satisfactory.

NO ECUADoRIAH INJUNCTION

Vice Chancellor Stevenson, in the Court
Of Chancery, announced this morning
that he had denied the application for an
injunction to restrain the United States
Mortgage Company from delivering the
bonds Of the Ecuadorian Development
Company which were recently advertised
for sale. The Ecuadorian Development
Company was incorporated in London for
the purpose of absorbing several COM
panies which hold valuable concessions
for the construction of a railroad from
Quito to Guayaquil. The complainants
who owned a small amount of stock IN
one of the absorbed companies, claimed
that the new company froze them out
and defrauded them.

BARKER PLEASED.
News That His Friends
Will Appeal Cheers
Him.

When the announcement of his coun-
sci, Marshall A, Van Winkle, that his.
friends had decided to appeal his case,
was conveyed to Thomas G. Barker in his
cell in Ward 8 of the County Jail, the
convicted man seemed much pleased. He
was warmly congratulated by Thomas G.
Kelly. who is serving three months
term for conspiracy to defraud the Colon-
ial Life Insurance Company. Barker's
joy over the news seemed, however, to
be tempered to a degree by the statement
that he would not be bailed but would be
serving a part of the sentence imposed
while the appeal was pending.
FTom the time Barker returned to jail
after Judge Blair imposed sentence yes
fefGay afternoon until noon today not a
single person called to see him except a
number of newspaper men anxious to
have a talk with the would-be slayer of
the Arlington clergyman. He eteadfastly
refused to see any of them and smiled
scornfully when word was conveyed to
him that the representative of a New
York yellow journal would pay him $40
for a ten minutes talk.
The costs of court which Barker will
have to pay or serve ten days over the
term to which he was sentenced will
amount to about $50. The greater part
of this amount is made up in fees paid
to the army of witnesses who were sub
poenaed, but comparatively few of whom
were called upon to testify Those wit
nesses who lived in the county received
50 cents a day for the five days of the
trial, and out of town witnesses were paid
double that amount
The cost of the special jury and the
medical experts summoned by the State
to testify is borne by the county HaG
Barker been sentenced to the County
Penitentiary he would have been obliged
to serve day. for every dollar of taxed
costs, but at State Prison, where pris-
oner cannot pay the costs they gener-
ally keep him ten days over his term
With the graduated time allowances for
good behavior this would give Barker, il
his appeal is not sustained, just four
years and fifteen days to serve.

of the regulation of the liquor business
rests with the Legislature. It is a mat
ter, he said, of legislative will alone, and
the judiciary cannot run a race of opin-
ion upon points of right and expedieney
with the Legislature.
Arguing on the constitutionality of the
act Mr.. Vredenburgh contended that the
question was not properly before the
Court, but that if it was. the act did not
violate the Constitution because it pro-
vided for the appointment of excise COM
missioners and not necessarily for an
election.
The case will probably not be decided
before the next term of Court.

TRIED TO DO CLOTHING STORE
Young's C. o. D. Was Note That
Didn't Work.

Robert Young. alias John Lewis, of
Philadelphia, went into the Excelsior
Clothing House, at Newark avenue and
Cooper place, yesterday afternoon and
ordered suit of clothes, hat and some
other articles valued at s21 He asked
that they be sent to No 40 Wayne street,
where he would pay for them on deliv-
cry. He refused to pay anything down
on the goods
A boy was sent with the goods to the
address given with instructions not to
deliver them without receiving the
money. Young handed him an envelope
and told him to take it to the store The
boy said he could not leave the goods
unless he knew the envelope contained
the purchase money for them.
Alderman Mcbride, manager of the
house, and clerk, suspecting something
wrong, followed the boy When the boy
told them about the envelope the Alder
man called at the house and asked Young
about the contents of the envelope. Young
refused to hand up the envelope or di-
vulge the nature of its contents
Young was taken to the Gregory street
station. He admitted on the way that he
had tried to do the firm. The envelope
contained a note to the effect that he
would be down in the morning and pay
for the goods
He was locked up on charge of OBJ
tanning goods under false pretences. This
morning in the Second Criminal Court he
pleaded guilty. He had given Washington
as his address, but he said he came from
Philadelphia. He admitted having been
arrested in Philadelphia for being caught
with friend who had lifted some
goods from Wanamaker's. For this he
served six months Justice Hoos changed
the charge to that Of being a disorderly
person and sent him to the County Jail
for sixty DAYS.
