Though 300 years have elapsed since
the death of Tycho Brahe. it appears
that we are in many lines almost as
far from the ultimate goal as when he
began the great work of exploring the
skies before the days of Kepler. when
all Europe was slumbering in intelec-
tual darkness. The science OF the stars
indeed has been refined and perfected
in an unparalleled degree and infinitely
extended in all directions. but with the
bounds of darkness pushed back step
by step the goal is not and never will
be in sight. An infinity of objects and
causes and an endless variety of phe-
nomena are yet to be explored. ana the
work of the mind is rather a process
OF development to the perfect under
standing of the universe than the sou-
ton of simple mathematical problem.

TRICKS WITH FLOWERS.
Color Schemes Unknown I'm the Floral
World Produced by the Use
OF Che meals.

The chemical expert has by no means
monopoly Of pretty experiments
evolving marvellous color schemes
hitherto unknown in the floral world.
One artist suggests simple and in
teresting experiment which is espe-
cially successful with pansies, and
which a child may easily perform.
\ saucer, little ammonia, flower
or two, and glass tumbler are all the
implements needed to enable one to
present a bunch of exquisite green
pansies to the uninitiated. Such a gift
is sure to awaken much enthusiasm
and test the ability Of the recipient to
take a joke, says New York ex-
change.

hence is particularly susceptible to the

Repeated experiments showa marked
tendency toward green, simply be-
cause purple and blue are standard
colors among violas and are thus af
tected. A few interesting color changes
are: Shaded purple with white edge
is converted into green, with blue vein
ings and yellow border; maroon
striped, dark green and blue; pale blue
becomes pale green; white always
takes on a yellow tint, and pretty
cerise comes out in vivid blue. Yellow
is unaffected.
Sweet peas are also fertile subjects,
and pungent fumes develop the uneX-

from pink and lavender creations.
Ammonia cannot be said to improve
nasturtiums, but surely produces Gu

comes yellow blotched bronze green,
and purely flame red a spotted dark

There is, of course, no permanency in
colors thus enforced. The most won

for time, but if placed in water in
the open air they will return TO nor
