WHY COLORS FADE.
The Action of Light and Air Is VIVA
Causes the Change.

The Action of Light and Air Is What
Causes the Change.
The fastness of color depends on the
stability of the coloring matter as well
as OH that of the combination between
the material and the color. Nearly all
organic colors are bleached by the con-
tinued action of light and air. Light
alone can cause changes and favors
the formation of small quantities of
ozone and hydrogen peroxide, especial
" in the presence of water, which is
always to be found in all ordinary ma
terials.
These two substances are powerful
oxidizing agents, readily giving up a
portion of the oxygen contained in
them, and this combines with or oXi-
dies the colorinS matter. forming a
body closely allied TO it. but which is
less intensely colored. and in some
cases, if the action is carried far
enough, the color is entirely destroyed.
The chemical effects of the different
colored rays vary greatly. Red. yell
low and green are practically inert as
bleaching agents, while blue. violet and
ultra violet rays have Il most powerful
chemical action. This fact explains why
materials which are usually worn at
night. and hence are exposed only to gas
or candle light. do not fade rapidly, these
iluminants not having preponder-
tnce of the blue and violet rays, while
sunlight. which contains large proper
lion of these chemically active rays,
quickly affects; colored fabrics.

In the valley of Westdale Head, in
Cumberland, England, a strange little
church nestles amid u group of the
highest of England's mountains. 1t is
over 400 years old and has two win
dows, and the pulpit is lighted by a
pane Of glass having been inserted in
hole in the roof above 1t. There are
only eight pews, of which seldom more
than two are used. The little bell,
hanging loose in the open belfry, may
on stormy nights be heard mingling
its tones with the wind and thunder.
But for the belfry it would hardly be
known to be church. This little
gray edifice Is described as the most
isolated church throughout the whole
of England.

In Japan a well bred woman does
not go to the theater until she is old

her to understand music. If she is re

tending to her children and servants

ceiver, he was pleased to hear Father
O O'Halloran's familiar voice asking
him something or other about hls

remembered that his reverence was
long way off, and consequently hol-
Tered into the transmitter at the top OF
his voice. II don't understand you,

Teaching a Horse Tricks

You can, with patience, teach your
horse Politeness-to bow to an audi
ence, to say No" with more or lees
decision, to kiss you OF even laugh.
The animal may be taught to bow by
tapping him on the back with whip.
He bends bis head in trying TO avoid
the annoyance. The trainer ceases
the tapping, caresses him, then re-
sumes it till be repeats the bow. He
is again caressed and presented with a
carrot or something Of which be IL
particularly fond. AT last it comes
about that he "bows upon any move
ment Of the whip towards his back.
To teach horse to say mo, pin
is fastened to the butt Of the whip. A
slight scratch is given to the horse 3
withers, about where the collar would
be. At this he shakes bis head and
soon learns to shake it whenever be
sees the butt of the whip coming near
his withers.
The trainer teaches the animal Ito
kiss" by feeding with apples from his
mouth, gradually lesseniDg the size OF
the apples till the horse does the
trick without any, or he puts salt, OF
which horses are very fond, on his
cheek and the animal naturally licks
1t off.
He Is taught to laugh by gently
forcing the butt Of the whip in at the
eide Of his mouth, then Prying bic
mouth open with it. Caresses and
carrots follow, till at last the slightest
motion of the butt toward his mouth
makes him open it. He does not re-
ally laugh; he grins.
