WHY THE SKY is BLUE.

The sky has long been a puzzle to ply
sicists.
There are two mysteries to explain about
tits reflection of light and its color
The old view was that the blue OF tho
sky was due simply to atmospheric
oxygen. Oxygen has a faint blue tint. and
the idea was that several miles OF the
gas even when diluted as it in the air.
would have bright blue color. But this
did not account for the immense illumina-
ton of the sky. and OF recent years
Tyndall's dust theory" or some modi-
fication of it. has been generally accept.
cd. This regards the blue color as an
optical effect, like the color Of very thin
smoke. due to excessively fine particles
floating IN the air, which would also &C.
count for the large proportion Of reflected
light from the sky. Recent calculations
by Professor Spring. of Liege Belgium,
however. indicate that the dust In the
air II not sufficient in amount nor finely
enough divided TO support this explana,
ton. 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 Hagenbach
that intermingled layers of different
density IN the atmosphere give it the
power of rejecting light, Science

Merchandise Movement in Near.
ly All Sections Of the Coun.
try Expanding.
ACTIVE BUILDING SEASON
Keen Demand for Material in Iron and
Stccl-A Record Year for Building
Expected All over the Country
Lower Prices for Many
Food Products.

New York March 1o.-Bradstreets
to- morrow will say:
The merchandise movement in prac-
tically all sections. save a portion of the
South. has expanded considerably, the
railways are handling very large traf-
fic. preparations for an active building
season are reflected in the markets for
material and the iron and steel and allied
industries report keen demand and un-
precedented consumption for this season.
The only complaint being that deliveries
of crude and finished products are not
up to consumers needs.
Retail trade shows little expansion as
yet
| Weather conditions. OF course. are the
handspring of the improved inquiry noted
at all Western, some Southern and most
Eastern markets for dry goods. clothing
millinery. shoes. hats, hardware and
groceries.
BY reason of arkct activity in all
limos and the fact that six months
business is now definitely assured, the
iron and steel trades occupy. as for
some time past an enviable position
cries easier.
A record year in building is looked
for the country over. Hardware is in
demand all over the country.
Lower prices for many food products
are a feature. Butter is five cents
off for the week and 10 cents per
pound lower than two weeks ago. The
-four market is rather dull and lower
on the week Business failures for the
week number 100 against zoe last
