tower. the schoolmaster has thought
fully filled his pockets with good things
to eat, and thus they were supplied
with a plentiful luncheon, to which,
with hunger as a sauce, all did Justice.
A bubbling spring nearly afforded them
drinks of cool water Much refreshed,
they again marched away, walking slow
ly that their strength might not be
wasted. The afternoon sun shone
fiercely down. but they sought refuge
from its hot rays beneath the open par
achutes.
Shortly after they had left their rest

them to where an old woman was sit

strange looking old woman, with eyes
that glared like balls of redhot iron
in the blacksmith's forge, and her chin
and nose nearly met. after the fashion
of a pair of nutcrackers. She was
dressed all in rags. and leaned on a
stout oaken staff. The schoolmaster
told the Princes she was beggar, such
as they read of in their storybooks.
Good afternoon, gentlemen said the
old woman, after she had looked at them
steadily for a few moments.
The Princes politely replied: Good
afternoon" and removed their caps.

her staff and pointing toward the dom

the place of trees on shore, we find
smaller seaweeds of delicate blue. green,

But now we are entering region OF

objects become misty and vague; the
colors grow dim and less vivid. For
even the clearest water becomes thick
and filled by floating particles when
there is mile of water up overhead.
But there is light, after all. not from
tks sun, but from yonder fish. A large
sunfish, as big as a horse, comes swiftly
toward US. His whole body shines like
match rubbed gently in the dark.
Did you ever rub your hands with
matches and then go in dark closet
to see them shine? This strange fish
shines exactly as your hands do, giving

behind him comes wonderful process
sion Of living lights. Some day we will

We do not dare to explore that great

wait a large shark whisks over the edge
and dives down into the darkness. He
is fully 25 feet long, and the smaller
fish scatter before him. He is gone, We
return toward the shallow water and
come out on the beach, having discoy-

the empty shells. the little fragments of
seaweed and the bones of fishes that
strew the sea beach really come from.

'Oh, no., returned the Chief Evildoer,

them a second glance. One was very
tall and had hideous hump on her
hack, and her great yellow teeth hung
from her mouth like sharks. Another
was very short. her arms and neck were
crooked and her face was covered with
jet black spots. The third had huge
splay feet, which were so large she
could not walk; as for her nose, it was
stuck squarely between her two sea-
green eyes. Besides. the three were so
ugly tempered and quarrelsome that
only witches could live with them.
However ugly and vicious they were.
the Witch Uglythorne thought by her
skill and magic to make the princes fall

gave them orders to put on their finest

SAYING REPRESENT
The Color Ghosts.
By CHARLES BARNARD.

In India there are men who say they
can see. These men sit in the full sum
shine in a street where all the houses
are white. and they tell anyone who is
foolish enough to pay them for the in
formation that they can see mans
astral bory. or course, it is very start
ling to have solemn old man tell you
that you have two bodies. One is your
real body, that everyone can see. and
the other is your star body or astral
body that he says he can see- He says
he sees your astral body standing be-
side you or floating in the air near you.
and that 1t exactly resembles your real
body, except that the ghost wears
clothes of different color. There is,
in fact. no ghost body. and these men
do not see it. They do see something.
but they do not know what 1t is ,
Now, what do these men see or think
they see. and can anybody see it?
Make silhouette figures of men each
one and one-half inches wide and two
inches high, placed in row, with half
inch space between them. One print
ed in bright red ink. one in bright blue
ink and one in bright green ink. Each
figure should be printed on black or have
black border.
Take this paper to room where there
is brightly lighted window; IL sunny.
so much the better. Fold the paper so
that these three persons of color can
rest with their heads close to the win
dow Cover the red and the green man
with black paper or cloth, leaving the
blue figure exposed to the light Draw
the shade down till it cuts OF all the
light except on the paper, and draw
down all the other shades to make the
room dark. Place table near the win
dow and lay upon 1t large sheet OF
white or pale gray paper. Then sit at
the table where the colored figure and
the blank paper can be seen without
moving from the seat. Then look stead
lily without glass; at the blue figure for
sixty seconds. Then look steadily at the
blank paper for another minute.
The effect Is surprising, for floating
about on the paper will be the ghost M
little pale yellow figure resembling
the blue figure. You may also notice
that, even while looking at the blue ig-
ure. flashes of pale yellow light seem to
dance all about in the air. Next rest
the eyes for minute or two in the dark
ened room. and cover the blue figure
with the black cloth and uncover the red
figure Repeat the experiment and you
will see pale green ghost on the blank
paper. Rest again and try the green fg-
ure, and you will see pink ghost.

When you are playing on the seashore
and pick UP the empty shells, the little
dried crab skeleton or those curious
"sea purses which look like tiny
brown pillows tied at the corners, do
you ever think of what they are, why
they are always dead and where they
came from?
The bottom of the sea begins at the
beach, really; and is at first quite shall
| low, sloping downward under those
roaring breakers that roll into shore.
But this is not the sea floor, nor Is it
half as beautiful or interesting. even
though there is the yellov sand to lend
charm entirely absent from the true
bottom. Suppose we pretend to take a
walk under the sea.

shadows to be seen down there.
The fishes have world of their own
not unlike this earth of ours in it's gen.
eral divisions, although it is so differ
ent in appearance. They have their
forests and their mountains, and. most
curious of all, their vegetable gardens.
OF course, in the shallow water there
is light from the sun streaming down
through the sea. But as the water over
head gets deeper and the sunlight strug-
giles through it in fainter rays great
darkness slowly gathers around us,
while the fishes, at first quite small and
harmless, now get larger, stranger and
tiercer with every step We take.

The seaweed is very hard to get
through; It grows so thick and high.

a great bunch of real lettuce, light

quite still by itself. A little farther on
