Not a Flatterina Portrait.

Thomas b. Reeds portrait was
painted by Sargent during the last
year of his service in congress. When
it was brought to him he looked at it
critically. He noted the prOtruding
lips, the faithful reproduction Of his
fOrid complexion, of his flabby cheeks,
of, his %ponderous neck. His eyes mar
rOwed between the lids and there came
a cold CLINT in them. Then. pursuing
his lips as WAS his wont, he is said to
have remarked: Il hope that my dear.

THE PRODUCTION CT CoLo!.
Manner Of Production ",emains
Mystery TO Scientists.

Mystary TO Scientists.
In what way colors are produced is
a mystery still. The varied hues Of
the unrivaled American beauty are
formed from the black soil. IrI.l ~;s
are the colors produced from coal tar.
But how no scientist can say. Why
it is that in the zenith We have, in
fine weather. a deep, rich blue is per-
maps not generally known. There is
always above us a haze. however fine.
This haze is the aggregate OF the
finest combination of moisture on dust
PARTICLES. And water is blue; even
when distilled blue is it's inherent col
or. Accordingly the deep blue color
in the upper heavens is caused by
the light through depth OF fine haze.
II there was no haze above us the
sky would be black--that is. w would
be looking into the blac.;ness OF linn
itiess space.
