ATMOSPHERE AS A PRISM.
Refracts the Suns Rays and Produces
the Peculiar Green Color.


The green ray at sunset Is sufficient
ly well known to make unnecessary
any mention of the beauty of the spec
tacle and the ordinary conditions Of
its observation. The ray may be seen
on beautiful evenings on the seashore
and elsewhere. although the intensity
Is variable; in general, it is necessary
that the state of the atmosphere be
such that the horizon may be clearly
behind it.
In explanation OF the green ray re-
course has been had to the theory OF
an optical Illusion, due to the yellow
orange light Of the sun, which at the
moment of the disappearance Of the
last small portion of the sun becomes
affected by the complimentary color.
green-blue.
This has not been satisfactory. and
it has been suggested, says writer
in La Nature, that the atmosphere
acts as prism. refracting the last
luminous ray from the sun at the
tine of its disappearance and decom-
posing and spreading it out according
to the succession of colCrs of the spec
trum. The red, orange and yellow rays
are the less deviated and are confused
with the solar point Of which they
have the color, but the eye perceives
clearly the green and blue rays while
the indigo and violet, which are the
most dispersed and the most luminous.

PHILIPPINES FOR FILIp1Nos.

The opinion expressed by ex-Gov.
Taft. of the Philippine government
that the Philippine archipelago should
be for the Filipinos is in line with
the sentiment of great majority of
the American people.
The citizens of this country are not
imbued with a spirit of conquest in
maintaining n Cover nneDt under the
American flag on those islands.
They recognize that this country has
certain important interests there, but
their chief purpose is to conduct
affairs in the interest of the native II
habitants.
One object in this connection is to
give the Filipipos as great part in
the actual management of affairs as
may be practicable. Thus they will
be trained in the art of government
and will also become informed in re-
gard to the purposes of the United
States. BY practical experience they
will learn to deal with the different
questions of government that may
from time to time arise, and thus
they will become fitted for the respon
sibilities that will devolve upon them
in the future, especially in case they
are ever given complete control.
1t should be observed. however.
that Gov. Taft's exp ession does not of
necessity mean that he thinks that the
entire government of the islands should |
in the near future be turned over to
the Filipinos. 1t seems that for the
present he means only that the purpose
Of the administration should be to
promote especially the interests of
the native inhabitants and not let the
material opportunities be absorbed
by persons of alien blood and interest. |
Whether it will ever be practicable to |
entrust the entire government to the
Filipipos is matter which must be
left for the future to solve. Denver
