colors of the oyster shell.

OF all the delicate and wonderful In
struments invented by scientists there
is hardly one that is not duplicated in
nature. However ingenious it may
seem and however original, Mother Ma
ture generally has it's counterpart hid
away somewhere. When the astron-
omers began to analyze sunlight they
found that it was made up Of many diff
ferent colors. A plain bar of white
light passing through a prism was
broken up into very rainbow. each
separate color of which was found to
represent O chemical element
sodium, OF some other ingredient of
which the sun is composed. But prisms
did not seem to divide light finely
enough to suit the astronomers. so they
went to work and made something bet
ter. Upon a plate of metal they
scratched an infinite number Of invisi',
bic lines-scratched then in marvel
Gus machine which they invented for
the purpose, 10000 Of them to a single
inch-and called the metal plate a
"diffraction grating" With this in
strument and long series of calcula-
tions and experiments they were able
to arrive at very correct ideas of the
suns chemistry, and later they found
that the light of a star could be taken
to pieces in the same way. 1t was
great discovery and the astronomers
took great deal of pride in it
But, 10, Mother Nature had been u.s.
ing the same principle for ages. the
countless changing tints of an oyster
shell were so beautiful of themselves
that most people had been content to
enjoy them without seeking their cause.
But everything has a cause-usually q
most interesting one--and the rides
cent mogher Of pear 4 tfs IS !.
stronomers' attraction grating SO close
iy that they decided to look into the
matter. Everything upon our little
world obtains its color by dissecting
white sunlight in it's own peculiar fash
ion, and when the oyster shell was put
under a microscope it was seem to be
simply a diffraction grating, nothing
more. Its apparently smooth surface
was made up of thousands of minute
lines and it got its rainbow tints by
dividing the sunlight into its original
elements. The wings of iridescent in
sects-beetles, for example-were ruled
in the same way. and an impression
of them in white sealing wax gave off
the same colors. So the astronomers,
who were not in the least jealous, de-
cided that if any patents rights were
due on the invention they belonged to
Mother Nature by priority Of discovery.

Can Water Flow UphiIle

That question may at once be an
swered in the negative, for water, like
everything else, is subject to the law OF
grayitation, and cannot, therefore, flow
uphill. How is it then. it may be
asked, that the Mississippi river pours
its waters into the Gulf of Mexico at a
point that is three miles farther from
the centre of the earth than its source?
Z The earth. it must be remembered,
is not a perfect sphere. but a
spheroid; that is to say. it bulges
at the: equator, and is, fattened
at the poles. If it were all covered
with water. therefore. the sur
face of the water would have the form
OF spheroid. That is the form that
the surface Of the ocean has, and the
scientists call it a surface of equilibri-
um, because the water has no tendency,
without some disturbing influence, to
flow in any direction.
II, therefore. the country through
which the Mississippi flows had the
level that an ocean would have If one
were there, it would not flow at all;
but If an ocean were theEs rs u asas g
at the. point me mouth of the
s6dld be three and one-half
miles further from the centre of the
earth than the point where the head
of the river is. This we know. be-
cause that is the determined curvature
Of the earth along that line.
But as the mouth of the river is only
three miles farther from the centre of
the earth than its source. 1t is half a
mile below the regular curvature Of the
earth at that point. and it is this de-
preston that gives the river a fall of
half a mile from it's surface to its
mouth. 1t does not flow uphill, there
fore, but down hill, in obedience to the
law of Observation-Disclosures Rec

Bathroom Furniture.

Bathrooms, curiously enough, are
fapt to better in apartments than in
houses. At any rate, if you leave out
of consideration large and important
new houses, you will find that the best
showing is made in apartment bath
rooms. The newest of them always
have the tiled floors and dados,. with
thes porcelain tubs, the closed plumb
ing being confined to. old apartments,
gIt might seem, then, at first, that al
most nothing was left you as a tenant
1 to do, but in reality there are ever so
many opportunities for the giving Of
distinctive touches. The color Of your
rug, for instance, must be considered,
and, again, of your curtains, and still
again of your walls, and last, but by
no means least, there are the color and
quality Of your basin and pitcher, since
most unhappily, all bathrooms are not
furnished with stationary basins
When, therefore, it is necessary to in
troduce a basin and pitcher, the prob
lem is not always an easy one. 1t is
sometimes met by board which is
placed across the tub and on which
the basin and pitcher are placed. If
the tub happens to be an old one en-
cased in walnut, this board can be
treated with a walnut stain, but II the
tub be white it should also be painted
white. Give it first one coat of Or
binary paint, to be followed by anoth-
er coat of bath enamel, which is not
injured by hot water.-Harper's Bazaar.

 From two to six S-horsc freight teams have been kept busy for the past eighteen months hauling feed from the railroad into the Imperial country. Each of these teams draw from five to ten tons, and average about six trips each. per month. We will not stop to figure up the amount of feed that has been brought in during that period, but the best we are able to figure out the future, from the amount of feed being planted in the valley and the prospective large yields of these feed crops, we sum it up that very little feed will be imported into the Colorado valley next year.
