Manner Of Production Remains .
Mystery to Scientists.
In what way colors are produced is
mystery still. The varied hues of
the unrivaled American beauty arc
formed from the black soil. Endless
are the colors produced from coal tar.
But how no scientist can say. Why
1t is that in the zenith we have, in
nne weather. deep, rich blue is per-
haps not generally known. There Il
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 its inherent col
or. Accordingly the deep blue color
In the upper heavens is caused by
the light through depth of nne base.
II there was no haze above US the
sky would be black-that is, we would
be looking into the blackness of linn

DYES.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-12-11

newspaper is under obligations to its readers to print the news. Every newspaper want to meet this obliga- tton, but there are times in the office of the clean, honest newspaper when charity rises above this obligation and the sensational story that would over whelm hearts already heavy with grief Is cut away to a paragraph or destroyed outright.
 And there comes times when the sacredness of mothers grief and sisters sorrow is guarded by some newspaper writer of whose existence they do not know. A stranger to them, this man knowing. on the one hand. the poignant grief of a dishonored home. and upon the other the keen interest with which his story would be read, writes a paragraph when his newspaper instincts tell him that two columns are demanded.
 A stricken home was respected when the death paragraph, and only the death paragraph was sent up, home that had suffered that misery deeper than death, when a loved and loving daugh- ter had passed out dishonored into the outer world.
 A drop of water with a sunbeam playing upon it contains within itself, it is said, little world. The learned and the scientific only may find the little world and work out it's noun tains, its valleys and its continents.
 The paragraph held within it's nar- row limits the mountains and valleys,

of the tragedy behind the paragraph, tragedy whose pathos was as deep as human sorrow and whose limits en- compassed every earthly grief. Death was an incident in the tragedy and yet death there was pitiful thing. the passing out of one who should be standing upon the threshold of life, with the glory of morning gliding ev- erything before her. But death to her was refuge. It had no victory to achieve over her, no sting to give. There was for her no longer any morn Ing splendor or evening glory. for hope was dead beyond resurrection.
 But the readers of The Advertiser were not to know this. Of the many thousands whose eye fell upon the par agraph there Is perhaps not one who recalls it now. And yet if the pitiful story had been told ever so simply and plainly no heart would have been too indifferent to catch its sadness.
 There be many tales of triumphant wrongs, of insolent injustice, of ap- pealing misfortune that come to a newspaper office but which never see the light of print. A lurid paper of sensationalism publishes these chapters of misery. They print them needless of what anguish they may bring to the innocent and the suffering, who are bound up in ties of affection with the guilty. It Is a cruei. heartless thing to do when it Is done for sensationalism, when it Is only done to attract atten- lr

The Rose of Death: The Lane

-N Anything doing with the undertak- CTS today?"
 The City Editor was checking over the assignment book. It was midnight and all the local copy was in. Up stairs the linotypes were humming and rattling and the stereotyper's hammer was beating a lively tattoo for the early morning mail.
 ''Yes. wait a minute" said the cub reporter. He had been painfully pick ing out an item on the typewriter. Newspaper writing was as yet a spec cies of manual labor for the cub.

 Mary Oakleigh. a young woman, IS years old, died yesterday afternoon at a local infrmary. Her remains were shipped to her old home at Elmwood last night Her father was with her when she died and he accompanied the remains home"
 The City Editor took his pencil and wrote a one line head at the top of the paragraph. He slowly folded the sheet and then unfolding it, tore off at the crease theblank part. The typewrit- ten part he slipped into a leather tube and shot 1t upstairs u&ough the pneu- . matte lift.

WatchmaIker,s screua.

The fourth jewel screw of a watch is so small that to the naked eye it will not look like anything more than a bit of dust. and is probably the smallest screw made. It must necessarily he perfect in every respect, and the char acter of the workmanship required on 1t is illustrated by looking at it under a powerful miscroscope. when it is seen that the threads average 260 to the inch. It is exactly 4-100 of an inch in diameter and over 5O,000 could be packed into a lady's thimble with ease. Counting these screws is never at tempted, of course. but 100 are weighed on delicate steelyard and the total number of an output is arrived at by comparing the gross weight with the weight of these. Such tiny screws can only be made in large numbers by machinery, and the operation attending their manufacture Is one of the most delicate things in watchmaking.

 For time he for whom the rose bloomed, admired and cherished it. 1t was so beautiful and so delicate. But he grew tired of the rose that bloomed across his path and, passing by one day he carelessly struck it down with cane.
 But he repented sorely the thought less deed. It's petals were scarcely dead before Ns soul was seized in the fangs of remorse. Strange memories came to him, memories that were once so sweet, but which in his remorse grew to be so horrible.
 One who was dead now, had walked confidintly and trustingly by his side. The old lane she and he had walked together he saw again. The Cherokee roses, all lace and whiteness glistened against the green of the hedge, the dark pines stood sharply outlined against the golden horizon, the per fume of the cape jessamine was borne on the breeze and around them the yell low cotton blossoms. all bediamoned with dew, turned crimson at the kiss of the morning sun.
 And she who walked by his side smiled her confidence. It was the morning of life and on the battlements of her soul every banner was flung to the breeze and every golden note the bugler blew was a note of joy.
 He had other memories too, and his soul shrivelled when they trooped upon him. There came to him in sunlight and in darkness the look of desparing woe that he brought to her face. He saw again and again the mute agony in her face when her little world crumbled about her. Her face came before him as he saw her when the hope died with in her and she went into that black ness from which she was never to come again.
 All this he remembered and none of 1t was he ever to forget.

 But the reader could not see in the paragraph the bent figure of the old father at the depot, jostled and pushed about by careless. hurrying strangers. It was a pathetic figure. country garbed as it was, the long gray hair falling beneath the big felt hat Back and forth he walked, his chin sunk upon his breast and his hands clasped behind his back. His age was heavy upon him, his grief heavier still.
 He paced the cemented platform from one end to the other, awkwardly threading his way among the hurrying crowd of strangers. The dulled eyes saw beyond this. The scanned and lined face reflected no interest in the excitement and 1t carried no impression that came of the scenes about him. The stranger who jostled the heavy footed old man might for aught he noted or cared. have been a hundred miles away
 He was going home, He was carry Ing home Something that was in the baggage room. Something in a long, white box. It was that which remain ed of her whom he had loved better than his own life. He was carrying this home to her mother-God help her in her grief!
 He knew that for all her misfortunes, for all her sorrows, for all that she had been, the memory of the dead daughter was no less dear, the love no less tender in the heart of the mother. And above all else it welled in the heart of the father. An, the joy and brightness of her childhood. the light in her eye, the song upon her lips the curling hair that framed her gentle facel

 The shocked lady fled around tbe corner and into the door of the drug store.
 A policeman took the young man with the fishy-eyes and the battered derby hat firmly by the collar. He steered him through the crowd into the open street. The young man held back and pleaded earnestly with the representative of the law.

 This Is Algernon's cue to begin the slaughter.
 He rises to his feet and tries to sheer like the villain in the play. He throws back the tail of his cutaway coat and clinches his cheap pistol.
 Fla, aha, ha," he says, in husky tones, you love another-you scorn me love. He shall not possess you. We shall die together"
 There is an omfnous click -click-clic behind the portiers.

 The plan has but one drawback. It takes a strong, selfwilled man to play the part of James. Think of his hay ing to be behind the curtain for two hours and hear Algernon recite the things he seen" and done" and enum- crate the young ladies who were pin- ing away for his love! An impetuous man couldn't stand It.. He would feel an irresistible impulse to train the gun on the fool and turn the crank.
