An ultimatum was delivered TO
representatives of the British,
German and Italian Governments
by Minister Bowen on behalf OF
Venezuela. The three powers sub
mitted a proposal that they he al
lowed two. thirds of the 30 per
cent. of Venezuelan customs re-
ceipts, taken by Venezuela's cred
itors, while the seven remaining
claimants, including the United
States, take the other third. Min

the suggestion would be absolute

and asserts that Venezuela has de.
cided to submit the matter of pre-
ferential treatment to The Hague

WHY FOAM IS White.
No Difference What May be the
Color of the LIQUID,


The question as to why all foam is
white is not an easy one to under
stand; but the fact is that foam is
always white, whatever may be the
color of the liquid itself. The froth
produced on bottle of the blacklist
ink is white, and would be perfectly
so were it not tinged to a certain ex.
tent by particles of the liquid which
the bubbles hold in mechanical sus-
pension.
AS to the cause of this whlteness,
it is sufficient to say that it is due to
the large number of rejecting sur
faces formed by the foam, for it Is
these surfaces, which, by rejecting
the light, produce upon our eyes the
impression of white.
If we remember that all bodies owe
their colors to the rays of light which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies
which reflect all the light they re-
ceive, without absorbing any, appear
perfectly white, we shall be prepared
to understand how the multitude of re-
flecting surfaces formed by the foam,
and which do not absorb any light,
must necessarily give the froth
white appearance. 1t is for the same
reason that any very fine powder ap-
pears white, even the blacklist marble,
when ground to dust, losing every
trace of its original color.

Silent in a Bear Pit.

While returning home late one night
recently the worse for drink, man
fell into the bears pit at Berne,
Switzerland. Fortunately he fell into
the part reserved for young bears, and
he went to sleep, surrounded by the
animals. On discovering his plight
next morning, he shouted for help
and with the aid of ropes and ladder
he was drawn up into the street ap-
parently none the worse for the ad-
venture. His sleep might have been
of a longer duration if he had fallen
a few yards to the left, where the
fuIl-grown animals are confined.
