CoIored Rain.

The curious phenomenon of colored
rain, which occur in various parts of
the world, has at last been explained.
In some cases the coloring matter is
found to be nothing but the pollen dust
shaken out of flowers on certain trees
at such times as a strong wind was
blowing yer them. Fir trees and cy-
press trees when grouped together in
large forests at certain seasons of the
year give off enormous quantities of
pollen, and this vegetable dust is often
carried many miles through the atmos-
phere by the wind and frequently falls
to the earth in a shower Of rain. The
microscope clearly reveals the origin of
such colored rain, which has on more
thai M occasion puzzled and mysti-
ned the inexperienced.

w. E. Wilson of Daramara, taking
the observation that one grain of ra-
dunn can supply 100 calories per hour,
has computed the proportion of radium
in the sun which would be required to
account for its output of energy. Lang
ley calculated that the sun is produce
ing energy at the rate of S2S,000,000
calOries per square centimeter per hour.
and, taking this figure. it would re-
quire but SO grams about fifty-four
grainsl of radium per cubic meter 1881
inches of the suns volume to account
for the entire energy given out by the
latter. Mr.. Wilson suggests that pos
sibly at the enormous solar Temporal
ture radium may be capable of even
more energetic action. and, if so, the
$50 grams per cubic meter might be re-
duced to Il still smaller amount.

The archpologist who was chosen
some time ago to determine the anthem
ITCHY of the tiara of Soitapharnes, Il
supposedly precious relic of the Louvre
collection, reported that the tiara was
not authentic and hat it was executed
by a Russian artist of the lame of
Roukhomorsky. The French govern
ment paid $4,000 for the tiara and
would probably be willing at present to
sell it at a large discount.
While nobody owe here is likely to
wish the French government any spe-
cial harm, it must be more or less graf
flying to some of the Americans who
have paid big prices for spurious works
of art to be able to smile at the expense
of people who are supposed to know all
about art and relics and such things.
1t is claimed by experts that not more
than about one in ten of the Raphaels
scattered through Europe is genuine,
and if it is so with the Raphaels the
probabilities are that a very large per-
centage of the so called examples of the
other masters are counterfeit.-Chicago

Value of Light.

An English physician of high stand
ing recently made an address before
the Manchester and Stafford Sanitary
association in which he said:
II have spoken Of light as purifying
our atmospheric environment and as
freeing us from certain superficial
parasitic distempers, and l wish to re-
mind you that 1t has still more deep
and intimate human relations of a
sanitary nature, for light is a necessary
condition of mental and bodily well
being. Its tonic physical effects are
everywhere recognized.
Essential for all purposes of life,
light is a universal stimulus. Failing
on the eye it sets up in the brain func-
tional activities associated with intel
lectual and emotional states, and at
tempts have been made to discriminate
the physical effects of its different ele-
ments. Whatever the therapeutic
value of the different rays of light
may be, white light, heavens own mix
ture, Is the normal physical atmos-
phere, and variations In its intensity
have probably widely diffused constt-
tutional effects"

A New

A new literature is in process of de-
velOpment. You often hear an intelli-
gent man or woman say, Il always
look in the back first" If you carefully
seek the reason for this you will dis
that in the pages and pages of
advertising in the back of the maya
zines is to be found, not only much that
is instructive, but much that is inter-
esting and suggestive in a purely liter
airy way. The modern advertisement
is worth looking at, whether it is the
sounding proclamation of some big cor
poration, with facts and figures both
weighty and impressive, or the light,
eye catching notice of some simple
trade or contriyance. All forms of lit
erary composition find place in the adj
vertising pages-history, story, verse.
Many advertisements measure up to
the test of good literature. In truth,
there is often an uncommon amount of
character in them. \ word here or a
phrase there is often singularly vivid
as local COLOR" and behind many an
advertisement it is possible to see a
vigorous Observation-Disclosures Mag

In Warsaw a banker died and left his
entire fortune to whichever of his
three nieces-daughters of three differ
ent brothers and sisters-married first.
The parties interested In this provision
were present when the will was read,
and all Of them took immediate steps
to u the prize. By procuring spe-
cial licenses and taking other unusual
measures 1t was found that the earliest
possible time for a wedding to take
place was at 8 o'clock on the morning
of the tenth day after the will had
been read. Before noon on that day all
three nieces appeared at the notary's
office with certificates showing that
they had all become wives between 8
and 8:15 o'clock that morning, though
not one of them had even been engaged
when the will was read. All three
claimed the fortune, and the courts
solved the difficulty by dividing 1t into
equal parts.

The Genius of Labor.

Two hundred persons, waiting for a
train, intently watched an old man
driving six inch spikes with an iron
maui. Now, there is nothing unusual
or extraordinary about driving spikes
with a maui, even though the head of
a spike is only three-eighths of an inch
square and that of the maui only three
quarters. But there was a ~fascina-
ton In this old mans work. His genius
for driving spikes was manifest. He
never missed a blow. He never needed
more than three blows to send a spike
home with its head buried in the
planking. He always gave three. There
was a rhythmic harmony in his task
that appealed to all. In his particular
line he excelled. That Is the genius of
labor.-New York Press.

The Democratic convention for Cape
May County, was held at Court House,
on Thursday of last week and former
County Clerk Edward l.. Rice was
nominated for Senator, and eX-Council-
man Evans q. Slaughter, of Wildwood,
was named as the party's standard
bearer for the Assembly. Both NOM
inees received the unanimous support
of the convention. Sheriff Ewing
called the body together and was unan-
imously reelected chairman. EX-Post-
master II. Howard Thorn, was re-elect-
ed secretary. Chas. H. Nickel was the
delegate from Wildwood. Engineer
Leaning NJ. Rice was selected as the
delegate to represent Anglesea, as zone
was elected at the primary election.
Chas. y. Norton represented oily

ed at Avalon. Chas. IL. Simmerman
was chosen to represent that place with
the privilege of casting a quarter of a
vote. Evans q. Slaughter represented
South Cape May. as no delegate was
elected from that place. The two can
didates We're brought before the con-
vention and Mr.. Rice made a fifteen
minutes speech. Mr.. Slaughter res
pended with a few well chosen words.
The committee on resolutions, con
sisting of Leslie S. Ludlam, r.. Howard
Thorn and Chas. a. Norton, reported
the following, which were adopted
Resolved, That we, the Democrats of Cape
May County, in convention assembled, de-
nounce the present Republican State Admin
istration as Incompetent, eXtravagant and
corrupt; that it has forced through the legis-
lature laws vicious, uncalled for, "unconstitu-
ttonal and subVersiYe of the right OF the
people, and ask all good citizens to join us in
restoring to this State Democratic simplicity
and economy in the administration of the
affairs of this State.
Mr.. Rice, the candidate for Senator,
is a popular mar and held in the high
est esteem by members of both political
parties. He was twice elected clerk of
Cape May County and will make IA very
strong candidate. He resides at Cape
May Court House, and is a brother of
Engineer Leaning NJ. Rice, of Angle

READY FOR BUSINESS.
A Ring From Secretary shaw's Office
and the Response Thereto.

hnh int heSDOhNt htEIAo
One day recently when Secretary
Shaw was debating a letter the door
leading into his office suddenly swung
open, and there stood a man with a Al
caliber Colts revolver in his hand. The
weapon was about a foot long and was
loaded with cartridges the size Of a
mans thumb. The mans finger was
on the trigger, and he seemed ready for
business. A friend of the secretary
was sitting in the Office, and it seemed
TO him that there soon would be some
thing doing"
But there was no shooting. The sec
rotary looked ~curiously at the intruder,
and the next instant the latter was
apolOgizing.
did you ring?' he asked.
NO" replied the secretary.
The signal went off downstairs, and
I thought you rang. Excuse me, sir"
"AIl right" said Mr.. Shaw. And the
man with the gun retired. lie was Il
member of the treasury watch. Acct
dentally the alarm connecting the cap
tain's room and the secretary's desk
was sounded, and he had fastened up
stairs to defend Mr.. Shaw against a
possible a%ssailant.
There is a pearl button at the end of
an electric wire at the secretary's ell
bow, and if he needs assistance against
assault a slight pressure will bring the
treasury guard to his aid. This con-
trivance was installed three years ago,
after Frank H. Norris of Cleveland,
the war department auditor, was as
s%assinated in his office by a d~isgruntled
clerk. Lyman ]. Gage was then the
head of the treasury, and Frank A.
Nanderlip was an assistant secretary.
Threats were uttered against both of
them, and they Immediately prepared
for any contingency. Each was given
a big revolver, which repOsed on a lit
tie shelf upon the lid of his desk, and
then the desks were connected by cleo
trio wire with the Office of the captain
of the guard. But no one ever offered
to modest either official, and their sue
cessors likewise have been free from
annOyance.-Cleyeland Leader.

TRAGEDY OF AN INSECT.
The Sand Fly Lives but "a Day After
Coming Into the Light.

The sand Fly Lives but a Day After
Coming Into the Light.
Here is the tragic story of the sand
fly:
1t has but a day to live in the light.
In order to earn the right to that day
of life 1t lives from n to three years
in darkness, down in the mud at the
bottom of lakes or rivers. Moreover,
the sand fly is perfectly harmless. 1t
does not bite. 1t has no sting. 1t can
not even eat. All 1t can 10 is to fit
about for q few hours, enjoying the
tight of day or the glare of an electric
lamp.
The sand fly Is known to scientists
Familiarity as the May fly. In scientific
terms 1t is called ephemerida. This
name Is taken from the Greek word
ephemeros, which means lasting only
for a day. To the scientists the sand
fly is one of the most interesting and
beautiful Of insects.
The fly lives but a day at most, but
before 1t sees the light 1t has lived for
from one to three years unde the wa
ter In the form of what the scientists
call a nymph. This nymph can both
walk and swim. AS 1t grows 1t molts,
and after about the ninth mott tiny
wings appear on Its thorax. These
grow larger until the insect comes forth
from the water a sand fly. 1t then has
but one duty-to lay Its eggs. This
done, the sand fly zigzags through the
air until its brief life is ended.-Chicago
