 'I found this banquet interesting" he said, and I was one of the last to leave.

WHAT MAKES THE SKY BLUE7

The sky has long been a puzzle to physicists. There are two mysteries to explain about tits reflection of light and it's color. The old view was that the blue of the sky was due sim ply to atmospheric oxygen. Oxygen mas faint blue tint and the idea was that several miles of the gas, even when diluted, as it is in the air, would have a bright blue color. But this did not account for the intense illumina- ton of the sky, and of recent years TyndalIs dust theory" or some modi- hcation of it, has been generally ac- cepted. This regards the blue color as an optical effect, like the color of very thin smoke. due to excessively fine par ticles floating in the air, which would also account for the large pro- portion of reflected light from the sky. Recent calculations by Professor Spring, of Liege, Belgium, however, in dicate that the dust in the air is not sufficient in amount, or finely enough divided to support this explanation, and he rejects it for this and other reasons. He has gone back to the old oxygen theory, and accounts for the general illumination of the sky on the hypothesis first advanced by Hagen bach, that intermingled layers of diff ferent density in the atmosphere give it :the power of FefleCtng light cess

Mrs. Eleanor Hamilton Keenon, S59 Washington Boulevard, lays claim to be, not only the first white child born in Chicago. but also the oldest liv- ing pioneer. The first claim has been accepted as a fact by the Chicago His torical society, while the second re- mains open to dispute. It was while Indians were prowling about Fort Dearborn, and while the settlers who inhabited the fort were in doubt as to what disposition would be made of them. that Mrs Keenon was born on February 14, 1892. Having seen the city grow from a little trading post to it's present proportions, Mrs. Keenon says her one ambition is to live until it is the biggest in America.-Chicago Tribune
